SHR # 2371 :: The BluePrint Power Hour
Show Notes:
Rob’s kidney values are now normal.
[6:53] Curcumin and fish oil preserve muscle on off periods.
[7:04] What is Rob’s most powerful advice in the gym?
- Keep to one working set and aim to increase intensity on it.
- Upper body lifts should be done in a 6-10 rep range at a 3-0-1-0 tempo.
- Lower body lifts should be kept in the 10-20 rep range with a three to five second negative
- Strength increases proceed size increases.
[10:38] What does Rob make of ecdy products on the market?
- Ecdy is legit, but you need the real stuff.
- Mass pro’s ecdy is legit.
- 48mg of ecdy/day led to 5lbs of muscle in the most recent study.
- Ultra suma is the only 25:1 suma extract.
- Synthagen uses quality Rhaponticum Carthomide extract.
- Thrmalife e-bol was a quality product.
[18:58] Bodyweight and band exercises are discussed.
- Combining the two could be tricky.
- Be wary of DOMS and achy joints.
- Give the combination a 3 week trial.
[26:20] Rob has no vested interest in Bronze Organic.
- He truly believes in and uses the product for tanning and cancer protection.
- Carl is Italian and tans fine. Rob does not, but Bronze organic allows himi to lay in the sun all day and tan.
[31:55] Should people trust supplements from Walmart?
- Generally, do not buy your staples from Walmart.
- Protein is the prime example.
- Rob experiences many allergic reactions from cheap Walmart wheys as well as other inferior brands such as Isopure.
- Thriv does not do this, and it is a more complete anabolic product than other protein powders.
- Walmart has a decent green tea extract product.
- Their curcumin product changes very often.
- Some of their products use povidone as a tablet binder.
[43:58] The reason that curcumin is so well absorbed in India.
- It is usually taken with fat.
- Turmeric is fat and alcohol soluble. Dosing with fats such as EVOO, mct,etc OR glycerol monostearate may help with absorption.
[46:35] Bodyfortress, six star, and muscletech are discussed.
[52:25] Rob’s plan with bodyweight training in the future.
- He started off slow with handstand pushups.
- Running for a mile seems to be the only activity that adversely affected his kidney values. This is most likely to do with the physical exertion required from Rob being out of cardiovascular shape.
- Rob prefers the heavy bag for cardio at this point. It serves as cardio and skill aquisition.
[1:00:13] blueprint tip of the Day: The Bodybuilding Supplement Review by Dr. Mauro DiPasquale.
- It was the closest thing to an independent voice on supplements during its time.
- It covered adaptogens and gave ecdysterones a double thumbs down.
- His opinion seems to have changed on adaptogens.
- The book emphasized antioxidants heavily.
- Creatine, caffeine, bcaa, omega 3, ephedrine, and glycerol all got a double thumbs up.
- Muscletech’s first 3 supplements were based on Dr. DiPasquale’s recommendations.
