Average reading speed? Pages per hour.

Certification study books are not your normal books for sure, i guess it depends on your experience on the topic that is being studied but how long does it take the people here to read 100 pages or a book of 500 pages?

I didn't take the R-ALA http://www.amazon.com/Jarrow-Formulas-R-Alpha-Lipoic-Count/dp/B005C99OWO/ref=sr_1_1?s=hpc&ie=UTF8 this weekend and am more alert and headache free. If this persists through next week I think I'm done with it.

About 7 pages... no lie.. That is the max unless I push it to 15 pages. Reading hasn't really been my strong point lol.

positve note, either exercise or these nootrpics but I'm now 200 lbs flat at 7% BFI, so it's all mass. now

Last night I sucessfull did a 450 lb tire lift for a total of 14 lifts in 3 minutes and 42 seconds. I felt like I was going to die afterwards, then I came home and labbed for 4 house.

When I'm reading books on my phone because I do have a few of these books on Kindle, I tend to go faster when I do that as opposed to doing them completely on the computer or having a physical copy. It can take me up to two hours to read an entire chapter of Lammle because of just how many different concepts were in each chapter. I'm just giving a rough estimate.

I'm quite skeptical when it comes to these. Alot of these don't fall under FDA guidelines when they are manufactured, so I don't want to be putting pills made in Communist China with slave labor where industrial waste and lead is produced.

After reading a few of Deathmage's posts talking about nootropics enhancing his studying skill, I decided to look into them. Unfortunately, there isn't much research into long term effects of nootropics, which makes me hesitant to take these kind of supplements. If you do end up using them it is recommended to only use them in cycles to lessen any potential long term side effects.

@TheFORCE - I used to read technical books quite fast, maybe 100 pages in an hour or two, getting a semi-understanding of whatever I was reading. However, I ended up failing multiple exams thinking I absorbed everything I read the first time. Now I read technical books because I like to fully understand what I'm reading. I usually end up going back over pages multiple times after/during labbing.

I haven't started Ascension yet so I think Daniel Jackson still had one leg up on me at this point.

... Anubis is still being a thorn in my side.

Once I do I let you know if the there are any long-term side affects, haven't seen any yet.

I'm pretty sure 100mg of R-ALA daily contributes to my headaches lately. I haven't taken any this week and I've only had one small headache. I started Bio Energy, aka L-Thianine+Caffeine today and I definitely feel a bit more energetic even if it was a slow day at work and raining.

One thing everyone needs to realize is that these nootropics are water-soluble, meaning since your brain has mostly water in it, when you take nootropics you really need to stay hydrated and this included potassium and sodium intake levels since potassium and sodium are required for proper heart function.

This is the reason your having headaches, if you read the bottles they do say to stay hydrated.
