Nitro's Friday Favorite 5 - Tips on Peak Performance + Labor Day Weekend Special Edition

Dan "Nitro" Clark here. This weeks "Nitro's Friday 5" has a little special "Nitro Secret Sauce" on how to "prevent" those well-earned hangovers from a glorious Labor Day weekend.    

  - Purchase I'm excited about -- ASUS pocket projector - this palm-sized projector is a "movie theater" in your pocket.  Screen your favorite show or movie for your friends and family while you fire up the barbecue to cap off an awesome Labor Day weekend.

 - Supplement (Hangover cure) -- Let's face it, not a lot of us have just one drink on long holiday weekends. There is a way to drink while minimizing the harmful effects of a hangover.  Drink a glass of water with each drink.  Drink clear (white) liquors.  Stay away from beer (most toxins).  Pound the vitamin C and B-complex along with cysteine.  Mop up what's left with 4 capsules of Activated Charcoal.  Here is the science behind why this works.

- The Rolls Royce of Recovery Tools --  I've found the Marc Pro Plus to be the BEST recovery and pain management tool on the market.  I use it EVERY day on my knees and lower back, in addition to my quads if I've had a rough week of training.  I wanted to find a recover more quickly and find a way to reduce joint pain and inflammation without taking medications that are harmful to the body.  It's not cheap.  But you are worth it.  Use Code: "GLADIATOR" and it'll save you a few bucks plus they'll donate $100 to Wounded Warrior Project for every unit sold.

- Book I am reading --  59 Seconds: Change Your Life in Under a Minute.  A psychologist gives myth-busting response to the self-help movement, with tips to improve your life that come straight from the scientific community.

- This weekend -- A recent study showed that people got more happiness when they had a cool experience opposed to when they purchased a cool product.  Take that money you were going to spend on an object and spend it on a cool experience.  It'll make you happier.  Be sure to take a pic and share the happiness.  Here is a glimpse of me practicing what I preach last weekend on Orcas Island, Washington.
