___________________________________________ Truly Huge Fitness Tips Presented by TrulyHuge.com ___________________________________________ Here's What People Are Saying About Nitrobol... "I use it to keep my gains after a steroid cycle" "I'm a regional bodybuilding contestant and recently started taking Nitrobol when I just came off a 6 week cycle of steroids. I usually lose quite a bit of my gains (approx. 50%) when I come off a cycle of steroids. This time I immediately started using Nitrobol according to your directions for lean muscle mass gains and it's awesome! I kept 90% of the gains I made from my steroid cycle! What's even more awesome is that now I'm starting to make gains again naturally...without steroids!" Rick Alvarez Cincinnati, OH "I can see my abs again!" "I'm using a combination of Nitrobol, specifically 30 caps a day (10 before bed, 10 right after training and 10 mid afternoon between meals) and also 2 capsules of testosterone booster (1 before bed and 1 in the morning upon awakening.) This combination is working pretty damn good. I have even had a few people ask me if I'm juicing which is a compliment at this point. After 6 weeks so far I have exienced the rare privilege of being reintroduced to some very old friends of mine... MY ABS!" Eddie De La Cruz Bronx, New York "I gained 30 lbs on my bench press" "I take 12 capsules of Nitrobol immediately after every workout. I also recently started taking 10 capsules first thing in the morning. I'm seeing great strength gains. Since starting Nitrobol my bench press is up to 215lbs from 185lbs. I'm also seeing more definition in my midsection. I've become more solid and hard over my entire body."

Or do you view water as something more akin to running and aerobic training refreshment? If so, you are making a mistake that is holding your training back. Water is the key element to insure training success – even for resistance training styles such as weight lifting. In fact failure to adequately support your training with water can lead to an injury. Water and Muscles How does water intake benefit your muscles? A study published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research is quite specific about the role that water plays - "water affects athletic performance more than any other nutrient." And what is very revealing is the fact that the researchers are taking their data from power training athletes. That's right – water is the key factor for success in resistance training and muscle growth. The point that "water affects athletic performance more than any other nutrient" is a point that is directed at power style training. If you are not getting enough water to support your muscle-building style of training, you are holding yourself back from full development: "Sports performance requiring anaerobic strength and power can be impaired by inadequate hydration. Impairments as a result of dehydration may not only lead to reduction in performance but also increased susceptibility to musculoskeletal injury. . .strength and conditioning professionals must be aware that becoming voluntarily dehydrated can decrease anaerobic power." The bottom line is that if you are dehydrated you can’t achieve the maximum benefits from your workouts. And there is a chance you could even become injured as well. Additionally, after a workout your muscles are hurting and need a full rehydration. Failure to do that can impair the effectiveness of the workout on your body as it attempts to recover. You may think that you are not dehydrated, but the researchers make a very interesting point about that as well. The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research points out training and dehydration are actually a common occurrence – "Ironically, during physiologic and thermal stress, humans do not adequately replace sweat losses when fluids are consumed at will; most athletes replace only about two thirds of the water that they sweat off during exercise." Even seasoned athletes make this mistake of inadequate hydration. Is it possible that you are making a similar mistake? If you are relying on your thirst as a indicator of thirst, you may be missing the mark. Thirst is not an early warning sign – it is actually a latent warning that only kicks in after you are already on the path to semi-dehydration. Don’t expect thirst to be your best warning sign of inadequate water intake. Make it a habit to get adequate water intake before, during and after your weight training workouts if you want maximum results.
