nothing like the sneaky phantom back pain!
I get that alot too, I usually blame it on getting old.
Liking the log though, looks like I'll be running nitor when I finally get off my ass and start cutting

katt · 05-23-2008, 08:07 AM

Yeah L.. I am really liking the supp so far..

Today's workout was pretty good for a Friday.. I am looking forward to the next three days off and out of town..YAY! Usual dosage again today of NITOR... 2 tabs in the a.m., 1 tab in the pm.. I think next week I'll up the night time dosage to 2 tabs as well

Well no workout today - I took the whole entire weekend off -

But, I kept up the supplements.. I upped the dosage to 2 tabs in the morning and 2 tabs around noon... let me tell you.. I have to work at getting to sleep at night ..lol

But I did have a really sweet compliment from a co-worker, she noticed that I was getting visibly "leaner" and was asking what was up. I haven't changed my diet any at all,,, so it's good!! Props to NITOR!

Katt,
I'm curious as to what your diet is and if it varies any? Carbs? This may have something to do with stamina during your workouts.

Oh, yeah,,, It's ALL about carbs at this point

It's my last 15 day "push" to make anything that jiggles non-existent when I jump up and down... with exception of my boobs of course...

It's a given that my stamina is going to suffer from now until then.. and I know that. My complex carbs during the day consist of just a half cup of oats in the a.m., then nothing except lean meat & veges for the remaining 4 meals.... couple that with my increased cardio, and yeah... it sucks... but I do have a refeed once a week...

I'll just have to deal with it until we get back, then it'll be a 40/40/20 again.. yay!

OK, that makes sense. I didn't know you were cutting carbs.
And please, for the sake of TOH, don't let the boob jiggle disappear

It looks like your getting good results and it is a excellent log.

Happy Gringo · 06-09-2008, 07:29 PM

I am concerned about the green tea extract, as I am 45 years old and losing a bit of hair. The following is from a comparison of Green and Black Tea effects on mice:

(Soy Phytochemicals and Tea Bioactive Components Synergistically Inhibit Androgen-Sensitive Human Prostate Tumors in Mice1
Jin-Rong Zhou2, Lunyin Yu, Ying Zhong and George L. Blackburn) :

Mice treated with black tea tended to have a greater serum testosterone concentration (34.4%, P = 0.50) and had a 72% lower DHT concentration than controls (P < 0.05), suggesting that black tea may contain components that inhibit the activity of 5 -reductase, an enzyme that converts testosterone to the more bioactive DHT. Green tea tended to increase serum testosterone and DHT levels by 73.8% (P = 0.14) and 194% (P = 0.076), respectively. The combination of SPC and green tea reduced serum levels of DHT (P < 0.05).

I believe the human equivalent dosage would be about 4 cups of either tea. Obviously the green tea cranks up the test twice as high as the black, but also increases DHT about 300% over the black. That can't be good for us guys over 40 who worry about the old prostate. I have switched to black tea after reading this, and also reading the following about the cortisol reduction effects of black tea:

Researchers from University College London performed a six-week study in which 75 men drank either 4 cups of black tea each day or 4 cups of a placebo. The placebo was a caffeinated drink similar in taste to tea, minus its active ingredients, such as catechins. At the end of the study, subjects underwent several challenging and stressful tasks that raised their cortisol levels, heart rate, blood pressure and self-rated levels of stress. When scientists measured cortisol levels 50 minutes after the test, they found that the tea group had already decreased their cortisol levels by almost 50%, while the placebo group experienced a drop of only about 25%.

I wonder why there aren't any supplements with black tea extract?
