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.
