Green tea inhibits the enzyme that breaks down norepinephrine (nor-adrenaline) in teh synaptic cleft (c0mt if memory serves me right, all my infos back at my office). The caffeine in it (probbly not enough) stimulates release of nor-epi (small) and also inhibits the enzyme that breaks down cAMP in the cell (name just shot straight outta my head, bolloxs)
It works, but by itself it doesnt do a lot.

Green tea has compounds that block COMT (as mentioned above by Aaron_F). I stopped using as much green tea when I found that they were anti-androgenic. They not only block androgen at the receptor, thay also apear to down regulate androgen receptors.
Green tea is absically an anti-endocrine factor. It seems to reduce the effects of all steroid hormones

I didn't mean to freak anybody out, it's just that the flavones (especially epigallocatechin gallate) are well known to reduce the actions of endogenous androgens (and estrogens) as well as even lowering testosterone levels themselves.
Anyway, my point is that, you may never see any significant effect of drinking green tea on muscle gains. Then again, we know that it is having an antagonistic effect, however small, in a direction oposite to what we want with respect to testosterone.
Cultures that consume a lot of green tea of also known to have fewer androgenic "manifestations" both normal (body hair, muscle mass, etc) as well as fewer pathologic manifestations (prostate problems, and other cancers associated with steroid hormones).
Fat is a different story. It clearly helps fat loss by altering catecholamine metabolism and probably a few other things.

Witajcie kochani,
Dziekuje za to ze sie cieszycie razem ze mna z moich sukcesow, ale chyba za szybko sie ucieszylam. W piatek bylam na kick boxingu i chyba zerwalam miesien, albo tez bardzo go naciagnelam. W sobote w nocy obudzil mnie taki bol ze myslalam ze umieram. Nie moglam sie przekrecic na drugi bok, o wstaniu z wyrka nie wspomne. Jakos sie zwloklam i pojechalam do szpitala, dali mi jakies tabletki i zakaz cwiczen przez 2 tygodnie. Tak naprawde to nie wiem co ten lekarz powiedzial bo gadal po niemiecku a ja medycyny po niemiecku nie konczylam wiec tylko sie domyslam ze to przeforsowanie miesnia. Co myslicie? Aha, zapomnialam napisac ze boli mnie miesien na plecach, wzdluz kregoslupa na wysokosci zeber. Ale bol jest nie do opisania i co kilka chwil mam jakby skurcze w tym miejscu. Co to moze znaczyc?
