SHR # 2352 :: The BluePrint Power Hour
Show Notes:
[1:35] Carl incorporates the new tradition of telling a joke at the beginning of each episode.
[3:50] Rob’s update on rhabdo.
- He is consistently doing bloodwork.
- CK levels have been cyclically dropping.
- He discovered a paper on training and CK levels.
- There is great variability in the response of CK levels to training.
- Myoglobin and lactase dehydrogenase are also released from training.
- Sitting around and doing nothing does not help the issue.
- Mechanical stress and metabolic stress (oxygen debt) play the biggest role in this variance.
- Shorter rest periods have a greater impact on CK levels than longer rest periods do.
- Upper body sessions have a larger impact than lower body sessions.
- The single greatest factor in CK levels is the introduction of a novel stimulus (i.e forced reps and drop sets).
- Nutritionally: Free form amino acids help to protect you.
- Contrast showers also help (heat shock proteins help to prevent breakdown in the muscle cell.)
- There are no qualifying CK levles for rhabdo.
[19:35] Tanning Pills?
- Protects the skin from the inside out.
- The only legitimate source is at bodybuildingsupplements.com. The product is called Bronze Organic.
- Beware of imitators ( nutrientsupply.net)
[34:46] Opinion on training light?
- It depends on the goal.
- Occlusion training can show gains in muscle mass using only 30% of your 1RM as long as you are going to failure.
- Light weight is also good for speed work.
- Light is a relative term.
- Light weights will increase sarcoplasmic hypertrophy while heavier weight increase myofribullar hypertropny.
- You cannot train exclusively heavy or light for best results.
[46:21] Anything I can use to grow taller?
- Do notfall for the somatostatin GH releasers (Serovital).
- Glycine and GABA are effective for transiently raising GH.
- The results that you will see from these aminos will be miniscule.
- Fasting raises Gh
- MK-677 raises the trough of GH release, but this is not similar to the pulsatile nature of hormone release in the body.
- Real GH requires high doses in order to be effective for massive fat loss. This will cause unwanted side effects.
- None of this will really make you taller.
- Carl reccommends CJC 1295 with DAC and GHRP-6 dosed multiple times per day (100mcg)
- If you get hungry after taking, back the dose down.
- MK-677 seems to exhaust the pituitary.
[1:01:11] Opinion on massage?
- Massage was the number one recovery method used in the Russian training papers.
- It seems to lower CK levels as well.
- The main deterrent is the cost of a massage.
[1:07:08] What is possible for a senior lifter?
- Have high expectations.
- Be a good steward to your joints and endocrine system.
- It comes down to your willingness to set a goal and work toward it.
- Make a large portion of your training bodyweight training.
- Find friends that will not deter you from your goal.
[1:18:20] Blueprint tip of the day:
- Make everyday count. You may not get another one.
