[9:40] How to progress the 5x5 protocol.

• Small increments in weight across all 5 sets.
• Start at a weight that is lighter than your limits.
• Once the weight gets high enough, scale back to 5x4, 5x3, etc.

[15:03] What can you tell me about greens supplements?

• They are overlooked.
• The best option would be to blend your own.
• Flavor with glycine, stevia, or fresh fruit.
• Those with autoimmune issues should tread lightly, perhaps due to the oxalate levels in green foods.

[28:14] How does Rob go about picking topics for the Blueprint Bulletin?

[37:50] What is Rob’s opinion on Hyde as a pre workout? Is there anything better?

• …... well, at least the caffeine isn’t underdosed.

[49:50] How to handle a body image disorder.

• Learn to utilize it as an advantage.
• Are “reasonable” people willing to undergo hard work in order to change the way that they look?
• Just learn how to set limits on your endeavors.
• There are many worse alternatives than weight training that is performed in a safe manner.
• Also understand that you will probably never get to be the image that you have in your head.

Tip of the day: It is never just one thing that gives you large results.

• It is the cumulative effect of several factors.
• Strive to determine what you are doing correctly and improve what is lacking.
