IFBB Pro and bodybuilding coach Greg Doucette has landed himself in yet another controversy. This time, Coach Greg has irked the Tren Twins after they got hospitalized for consuming far more than the recommended dose of caffeine. Although the twins posted about their ordeal themselves, they didn’t like it when Doucette reported on the incident.

The former powerlifter explained that the Tren Twins were quite displeased with him. However, the 48-year-old fitness influencer welcomed the criticism. He even said that he would be ready to face the brothers if the controversy escalated after they issued a “never text” directive to Doucette.

“You guys want to go to battle with Coach Greg? I’m more than up for it,” Greg Doucette said in the video. Doucette has covered fitness influencers several times in the past. He even predicted that the Tren Twins might get into trouble if they kept taking things to the extreme. “I can’t wait to make more fun of them than last time,” he said.

The 48-year-old also shared his bewilderment at the Tren Twins taking an issue with something “they themselves posted.” The Canadian national champion also explained that his original video about the incident was mostly about raising awareness against abusing supplements like caffeine.

Greg Doucette reiterated his point in the follow-up video as well. “Don’t abuse caffeine, it’s dangerous,” said the bodybuilding veteran. At least one of the brothers took 700 mg of caffeine as a pre-workout, and instead of boosting their training session, they had to pay a visit to the hospital.

However, despite how things played out, Doucette won’t back down. Meanwhile, Doucette’s message against taking too much caffeine remains the same. Even Arnold Schwarzenegger touched on the subject in a recent newsletter.

Greg Doucette and Arnold Schwarzenegger break down caffeine dosage

In his original video, Gerg Doucette explained that taking 300 mg over the recommended amount got the Tren Twins into trouble. The veteran bodybuilder doesn’t even take the maximum dosage of 400 mg before his training session. Similarly, Arnold Schwarzenegger explained how the benefits of caffeine turn into negatives in high doses.

The 76-year-old bodybuilding icon explained that drinking over four cups of coffee harms the body. While drinking around three cups reduced the risk of heart disease by 35%, drinking too much increases the risk of cardiac arrest by 25%. Hence, it’s necessary to keep the dosage in mind.
