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

That hasn't happened in a long time and I'm saying to myself is going on here?? I didn't get to spinning last night, so tonight I have to make that up and go do cardio.

Ugh, I once crushed my Ipod in the gym doing a set of weighted crunches on a decline bench with a 35 pound plate. the thing fell out of my pocket without me knowing, and when I finished my set, exhausted, I dropped the plate down to my side, and then.....silence.............OOOPS

 

[katt]

I guess it happens to the best of us, huh?

 

[Stewart14]

I guess it happens to the best of us, huh?

yeah I guess so. wasn't happy about having to spend the $$$ on a new one, but I guess it's a story to tell at the least.

 

[Travis Bell]

now I just use one of those shuffle dealies, lot cheaper although nothing has happened to this one yet

A week from Friday we'll be off to our vaca, and I can't wait for a little R&R time..

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?

Are you a mouse?

Your concern is ill founded.

Saturday we were out of town but did get a wo in though

BB Military press (60) 3x10

DB Side Lateral flys (17.5) 3x10

DB Front Raises (22) 3x10

Arnold Presses (30) 1x10

Shrugs w/oly bar (135) 3x8


Yesterday's wo - Flat bench (95) 1x6 (115) 1x4, 1x2 (95) 1x2

Incline DB Press (40) 2x10, 1x7

Pec Dec (100) 1x10, 2x8

Cable Pushdown (40) 3x10

Dips - bw 3x6

Yesterday's attempt was just that, an attempt... both our minds weren't in it at all. I am continuing to take the normal dosage of NITOR each day, and am still impressed with it.. I totally agree with Mags.. if I had a couple products to choose from and the higher priced one is continually getting great reviews from people that try it,, I would tend to go with one that I new had a better chance of working, rather than taking a shot of something that I wasn't sure of.

The only thing that I had noticed, however, is that consistantly after my second dose at 12:00 - right on the money 2 hrs later I have about a half hour were I just want to sleep... then after I get past that, I start reving up again and am good to go until night time.

Even with taking the second dosage at 12, when I wake up during the night it does make it hard to get back to sleep also... and that's one downside for me, probably because I'm a really light sleeper to begin with... this is the last week of my test for this product and I can say, even with the sleep issue - on my next cut, this will be a part of my supplementation.. even for the cost of 50 bucks.. because in my opinion this products is well worth it for the results I got.

No, I am not a mouse, but mice are used because they respond similarly to humans.
THE GILLETTE COMPANY has a patent on using green tea to reduce hair growth. Sure, it is applied topically, but these same catechin compounds are absorbed when we drink green tea:

REDUCTION OF HAIR GROWTH - Patent EP0814754

Hey, what happened to my post on here? Did it get deleted? Texan wrote one too that's also now missing. I'm not overly fussed, I just wanna make sure I didn't just imagine replying to a post that is, in fact, not even here.
