[00:01:13] Carl Lanore: [00:01:13] on the superhuman

[00:01:14] Coach Rob Regish: [00:01:14] radio network.

[00:01:19] Carl Lanore: [00:01:19] Hey, Rob, how are you doing?

[00:01:21] Coach Rob Regish: [00:01:21] I am doing great. Thank you for asking. And before I forget, I wanted to congratulate you and Alyssa. That was great news. Great. Yeah, we got engaged for those of you

[00:01:30] Carl Lanore: [00:01:30] who are not in the loop on Facebook. Um, last week, was it last week? Last Thursday, the Thursday before? I can't even remember now, but yes, I'm very excited about that and we will probably get married sometime in 2022.

[00:01:42] Coach Rob Regish: [00:01:42] Cool. Yeah. So hopefully when all this is over, right,

[00:01:46] Carl Lanore: [00:01:46] well, we've already, so we're having an engagement party in a couple months and we're going to call it an engagement, peaceful protest. So we can have a larger gathering it in our backyard.

[00:01:59] Coach Rob Regish: [00:01:59] Yeah.

[00:01:59] Carl Lanore: [00:01:59] And [00:02:00] no one has to social distance and no one has to wear a mask because it's a protest,

[00:02:04] Coach Rob Regish: [00:02:04] not a party.

[00:02:05] Great idea. That's a great idea.

[00:02:07] Carl Lanore: [00:02:07] You know, why not? I'm going to leverage what works and go with the flow. Sorry.

[00:02:12] Coach Rob Regish: [00:02:12] Yeah, I also, um, I wanted it to wish belated happy birthday to my friend, Andre. I wasn't on last Tuesday, as you know. And, uh, he had a birthday, August six big fan of the show and, uh, just a great guy.

[00:02:27] And I look forward to talking to him.

[00:02:29] Carl Lanore: [00:02:29] Yeah, he's a he's South African, uh, he lives in South Africa, Africa. I'm trying to think of what town, what city he lives in. I, I can't remember it right now. Oh, Pretoria. I lives in Pretoria, South Africa. Um, Carrie Kruger is a friend of his. Oh, she watches and listens to the show as well.

[00:02:48] And he's blind and he's achieved so many things. Uh, contrary, a lot of people said he would be able to do. I know, no,

[00:02:55] Coach Rob Regish: [00:02:55] I could not believe that. Just the list of things that he's done, man. That's [00:03:00] fantastic. Yeah. Yeah. Very, very good. Really good.

[00:03:02] Carl Lanore: [00:03:02] How you doing? I know you asked me about my training, which is nonexistent right now.

[00:03:08] Coach Rob Regish: [00:03:08] Everything's going well, uh, I have to say other than this, this elbow I'm injury-free and, um, you know, then, so then it's up to me, right? I only I can stop myself now. Well,

[00:03:22] Carl Lanore: [00:03:22] I I've just been so covered up with projects. Uh, the testosterone that I've worked on for three years now will start being prescribed next week.

[00:03:33] Um, uh, Musa just did a beautiful. White paper on it for me that we're putting the finishing touches on. Now, doctors can start prescribing it. Uh, if you are interested in having your doctor prescribe it, send me an email at, on This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., and I'll give you instructions how your physician can, uh, get it.

[00:03:55] Uh, this is one of the most exciting things to happen to male hormone replacement therapy [00:04:00] in decades. Um, The product is called natural rhythm once daily testosterone injection for men. And I'm not going to get into it deeply here, but sometime this week, I'll do a show specifically to talk about why this is such an exciting thing for men.

[00:04:20] Coach Rob Regish: [00:04:20] Um, but

[00:04:21] Carl Lanore: [00:04:21] it's, it's a big deal. It's a big deal.

[00:04:23] Coach Rob Regish: [00:04:23] It's one of those things where you just, I thought to myself, why hadn't somebody thought about this before?

[00:04:29] Carl Lanore: [00:04:29] Because they're lazy. They're lazy. I mean, it took, you know, I actually went to a couple of different pharmaceutical companies and said, would you guys do this?

[00:04:38] And, um, I, and I said, I'll pay, you know, I want, I want to have this product made. And they had no interest in at all. They didn't see the value in it. And, and, and most of them said we already have transdermal creams and gels. Why do we need an injectable.

[00:04:57] Daily injectable. And, [00:05:00] and, and I explained it to them. I showed them studies, countless studies, you know, um, transdermal creams and gels, very absorption based on whether or not you rotate your application sites based on whether or not you're hydrated based on if you rub it in. Too hard. And it dries before the transdermal can actually do its job and, and break up the surface of the skin to get in.

[00:05:28] There are so many variables and that's why. Even women who are on HRT, who use creams and gels will tell you like that the doctors get frustrated. It's like one day their estrogen levels of proper. Then six months later, they test again, it's in the dirt, she's doing the same thing every day. The guys have the same problem.

[00:05:48] Um, you know, the first time they go back, the doctor goes, Oh, you're great. You're in the six hundreds, uh, and testosterone. And then they go back for their annual and it's like, Oh my God, your testosterone is 400. [00:06:00] What are you doing different? And the guy's like, I'm not doing anything different. I do the same thing every day, like clockwork, like, and so the unpredictability of dosing with creams, and then there's another thing that's unspoken.

[00:06:12] And I'm not going to mention any names, but I've actually had people reach out to me. Um, because child protective services was threatening to take their children away. Because transference, you know? Yeah. Girl, young girls, budding nipples and hair on their vaginas and they checked the testosterone levels and their testosterone levels of that, of a young man.

[00:06:33] It's like, wow. Oh, wait, dad's on testosterone cream. And then they say, Oh, well, you know, you got to wash your clothes in a different wa you can't wash your clothes with your kids. Like, Oh my God, God watch, like, no one told me that. And so. The beauty of this, it's an insulin syringe. It's a 29 game syringe.

[00:06:50] Nobody's afraid of it. You pop it under the skin. If your doctor prescribes 11 milligrams of testosterone a day to you, that's exactly what you take. It's precise. [00:07:00] There's no risk of transferability. And it, when you look at the daily pulse of testosterone, which really occurs, or between five and 7:00 AM.

[00:07:11] And then it drops all day long. It just keeps dropping and dropping and dropping until the evening. When you get set up again, pollutant rising hormone to pulse in the middle of the night and produce another pulse of testosterone. This looks exactly the same when you look at the blood work

[00:07:28] Coach Rob Regish: [00:07:28] and therefore what little shut down.

[00:07:30] Right?

[00:07:31] Carl Lanore: [00:07:31] Well, I don't know so much about the shutdown. I'm not going to go on the record of that, but here's what I will tell you little or no excess conversion to estrogen or DHT. Yeah,

[00:07:40] Coach Rob Regish: [00:07:40] that that in and of itself is worth it.

[00:07:43] Carl Lanore: [00:07:43] You don't, when you look at the research, the longer acting a testosterone, Esther is the more extra dial.

[00:07:49] It produces an ant. They produce a slightly more than cypionate. Cyprien a produces a ton more than propane, a propane Atreus last two or three days. Right? So with the daily [00:08:00] pulse, you're not going to see, you're not going to need AIS for people at all anymore.

[00:08:04] Coach Rob Regish: [00:08:04] Yeah. Not at all. That's a game changer for some people.

[00:08:07] Yeah,

[00:08:07] Carl Lanore: [00:08:07] I actually, yeah, I actually, one of the guys at the pharmaceutical company that I'm working with has thought about being on testosterone. He's uh, he's uh, he's uh, an executive at the company and he said he's wanted testosterone, but he doesn't want the creams and gels for the reasons stated. And he doesn't want to Pell it because he knows that, you know, it's basically a surgery, you know, you gotta go in and get your butt slice.

[00:08:32] Then they put a pellet in you. Right. And he won't do injections cause he's, he doesn't like needles. And he said during a conference call the other day, you know, I finally may start to get on testosterone, thanks to this product.

[00:08:43] Coach Rob Regish: [00:08:43] Wow. That's great. Hopefully, there are a lot more people out there like that.

[00:08:47] Carl Lanore: [00:08:47] It's going to take time. It's not going to happen overnight. It's going to take time. It's going to take,

[00:08:50] Coach Rob Regish: [00:08:50] yeah.

[00:08:51] Carl Lanore: [00:08:51] Paul Reynolds says a, you and Carl have mentioned something called methoxy flave on them. Thought methoxy ISO flavor them before saying it came and went [00:09:00] years ago. I just saw it in a new product, making the rounds again.

[00:09:03] Is this stuff any different? I guess the stuff that's coming out today, have you had a chance to look?

[00:09:09] Coach Rob Regish: [00:09:09] Yeah. And he's right. There are a number of products. That are now including it right after it disappeared after, uh, after its introduction way back when, but, so, so understand the whole story though. You need to understand a little bit about isoflavones themselves.

[00:09:27] So like acting, this is an entire class of compounds, some of which have what I call limited value. Many, many of the others are completely worthless though. Most people will be familiar with the isoflavones in soy, Janice Stein and diets, which have weak estrogenic activity. Unfortunately they do affect developing males.

[00:09:51] Um, And at one point and do Shane was talking about something called flavonoids X, which was turned out to [00:10:00] be Christ him, which was supposed to be right the next big anti estrogenic flavor. The point being some isoflavones can have physiological effects. When it, when it comes to methoxy ice of flavor, I don't know.

[00:10:16] Uh, it just, it never panned out that way. And so here's more or less how it went down. Five, seven. My Foxy ice flavor was proceeded if you remember by something called seven, like, so proxy ISOL flavor, the ladder, and was actually pet.

[00:10:41] Pronunciations,

[00:10:42] Carl Lanore: [00:10:42] Rob, Rob, you dropped out after the word patented. You said the latter was actually patented

[00:10:48] Coach Rob Regish: [00:10:48] and then you dropped by a company in Hungary. And I think their name was Chenoa. I don't know if that's correct pronunciation. Okay. Um, but the pattern use [00:11:00] included things like, you know, building muscle.

[00:11:03] Losing fat, increasing endurance in lifestyle. Now, now sidebar a patent on stumping really doesn't mean anything, you know?

[00:11:15] Carl Lanore: [00:11:15] Yeah. Anybody can file a patent. It doesn't mean that it really works.

[00:11:18] Coach Rob Regish: [00:11:18] Right. You can file a patent on a zucchini to do everything.

[00:11:23] Carl Lanore: [00:11:23] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That'll happen. If you, you could file a patent on a zucchini to do something that zucchini has never been shown to do.

[00:11:30] Like, let's say you discovered by squishing zucchini into your gas tank, you got double the gas mileage. You could patent zucchini for that. Use your writing and it doesn't have to have any merit. You don't have to prove. That it works. You're just saying that it works and I don't want anybody to step on my toes cause I'm gonna stop doing something with them.

[00:11:49] Coach Rob Regish: [00:11:49] Right. Right. So in terms of introduction to the market and really the two main products that included it, uh, one of which was [00:12:00] Centracs is methoxy Foxy loan, I think. And the other one was Biotest methoxy seven, which I know you use. We got some funny stories about that, but yeah. Those were the two companies that were kind of pushing it.

[00:12:14] And each one of them had a different solution to the bioavailability issue, which was Centracs I think was using nano NYSED dissolution to what they called nano dissolution technology. And whereas Biotest suspended the stuff in cholesterol,

[00:12:33] Carl Lanore: [00:12:33] 100% pharmaceutical grade cholesterol.

[00:12:37] Coach Rob Regish: [00:12:37] Sure.

[00:12:38] Carl Lanore: [00:12:38] So like, you know, like people are like, Oh yeah, cholesterol, this is back when people still thought cholesterol was bad for

[00:12:44] Coach Rob Regish: [00:12:44] you.

[00:12:45] Right.

[00:12:46] Carl Lanore: [00:12:46] I remember bringing that to my doctor, dr. Jim Swift. Yeah. Who already told me he wouldn't use protein powders. And I said, I'm thinking of taking this and he just put a yellow post it note and said I would [00:13:00] not use that's it.

[00:13:01] Coach Rob Regish: [00:13:01] And it

[00:13:02] Carl Lanore: [00:13:02] is, it was a hundred percent pharmaceutical grade cholesterol. It tasted great.

[00:13:07] It tasted great. Like I literally started drinking it out of the bottle. That's how good it tasted.

[00:13:14] Coach Rob Regish: [00:13:14] And supposedly, um, they had also put enough whole carbonate Esther on it to prolong the half life and yada yada, the bottom line though really was this when the early results for, um, seven ISO propyl. Like so proxy ISO flame on it's a long one.

[00:13:34] When the initial results from that were really discouraging. That's when supplement companies came up with five, seven methoxy and said, well, look, this is the real stuff. It works three times better. Now I never personally used it, but I do know the vast majority of people that did found out the hard way that three times zero is still zero.

[00:13:58] Carl Lanore: [00:13:58] I was just going to say that I was just going to [00:14:00] say three times zero is still zero. It did nothing in this form. It did three times nothing in the other one. That's basically what it did.

[00:14:08] Coach Rob Regish: [00:14:08] Yeah. Yeah. So I'm

[00:14:10] Carl Lanore: [00:14:10] ready. You're a scurrilous group. When you really think about them.

[00:14:13] Coach Rob Regish: [00:14:13] Yeah. And rather unceremoniously those two products eventually disappeared from the market and all of the copycat companies.

[00:14:22] And to be fair, there were a lot of, they followed suit shortly thereafter. So I would tell you that the new methoxy is no better. Then the old methoxy or the new H M B um, both are also more expensive than their past iterations. And three times zero is still zero. You just, there are no results to speak up.

[00:14:47] It's too bad. Right.

[00:14:49] Carl Lanore: [00:14:49] But what about what this does show? And I just had this conversation with my son, that history gives you opportunities to be in business [00:15:00] because things. Come around, over and over again, the bell bottom came back. We wore them when we were kids, they disappeared, they were goofy. They came back not too long ago.

[00:15:10] Everything comes back around. Supplement companies are always looking to add a new skew because something yeah, that they promised would change the world. Didn't when they got to rotate that out. So they needed to nothing new to add, to keep revenue coming in. They don't care if they only get, I was talking to a.

[00:15:30] Um, a potential sponsor recently. And I asked him, what is your traditional customer life cycle? And he said, 2.5 orders. And I thought to myself, man, that's not good because if it works it, they should buy it forever. I mean, look, I don't even advertise thrive. Do you know that the average buyer of thrive protein team is now going close to 36 months continuously?

[00:15:57] And I don't even advertise it anymore. So you only, [00:16:00] you only sell to, if you only sell a customer 2.5 orders of something instead of reentry, instead of introducing new products, why don't you fix the products you have so that the customers want that want to buy them more than just two and a half times?

[00:16:13] Coach Rob Regish: [00:16:13] Yeah. I mean, they're always under the gun to find new customers, which is why they do new products every three months

[00:16:20] Carl Lanore: [00:16:20] and they have to stop. And what do they do? People have very short memories, the new kids on the block, never even heard of methoxy isoflavones they're going to look at the research on what it did for cattle and go, Oh man, it causes nitrogen retention and nitrogen retention supposedly increases muscle growth.

[00:16:38] Well, that's been disqualified as a fact, but they'll go, Oh, I'm going to, I'm going to buy this, this stuff. Put on all this weight on cows. I want to be like that.

[00:16:49] Coach Rob Regish: [00:16:49] It was an interesting story. Yeah. Still doesn't work.

[00:16:53] Carl Lanore: [00:16:53] Very sad. And that's quiet. Pays to read some of the old magazines and go, wow, why isn't this [00:17:00] around anymore?

[00:17:00] Oh, I know why. Cause it didn't work the first time they introduced.

[00:17:04] Coach Rob Regish: [00:17:04] Yeah.

[00:17:06] Carl Lanore: [00:17:06] Higgins says she's 23 years old and she loves running hiking and all sorts of high intensity, a cardio type work problem that she has several Bunyan's on each foot. And. They are causing her severe pain. Can you offer any suggestions?

[00:17:21] I have some opinions. Go ahead. You go first.

[00:17:23] Coach Rob Regish: [00:17:23] Yeah. The answer and suggestions are gonna fall into two distinct camps. So the first is the type of exercise that I think you should be doing more of. And secondly, address addressing the Bunyan issue itself, right? Because that's the root cause of what's causing all these problems.

[00:17:42] And my wife has them and they run her family. I have some insight. Um, into just how painful and debilitating that they can be. So here are some thoughts. Um, the first thing that I would do is switch to a much less painful [00:18:00] form of exercise, namely less cardio and more resistance training that may be difficult, uh, particularly for women because there's this, this.

[00:18:12] Um, assumption. I think that cardio burns fat and weights build muscle. And I don't don't want my muscles to get too big, you know, but, but as you and I know, and many listeners know that really isn't, uh, isn't accurate per se, you can keep your high intensity interval training, just perform it with weights instead of, you know, spinning to nowhere on the bike.

[00:18:37] And in particular, I'm talking about. Lactic acid tolerance, trainings that I've mentioned a million times on this program. Uh, but it's particularly good, especially in instances like this, because you are limited. Only by your imagination as to which exercises to incorporate provided their [00:19:00] compound movements.

[00:19:00] You are good to go. So that could mean incorporating, say unorthodox things like a battle ropes, tire flips, sledgehammer swings, a kettlebell swings, you know, as part of that protocol, ultimately. You need to get right. The battalion's taken care of, and that means as far as I know surgery now, I don't want to dissuade anyone from getting that done.

[00:19:31] But my wife tells me it is that surgery was the single most painful thing. Yeah, she had

[00:19:38] Carl Lanore: [00:19:38] on, not only is it painful, but you are off literally off your foot for like six months and you got you're on one of those little scooter trolleys, everywhere you go. You're on crutches. You can't put any weight on that foot and the doctors want you to, because a lot of times Bunyan's come back and I'm going to tell you why they come back in a second, but they want [00:20:00] to be able to say to you, well, you, you, you didn't stay up the foot for six months.

[00:20:03] Coach Rob Regish: [00:20:03] Right. Well, I mean, when she said it was the most painful thing she ever experienced, she even qualified that by saying it was worse than childbirth. So take that for what it's worth a Bunyan, as I understand it. Thank God. I don't have them. A Bunyan is literally, well, it's this bone girl. So. Obviously cutting off bone is going to hurt.

[00:20:27] There is just no sugarcoating it. I can remember how painful bone bruises were in baseball right after you've caught so many fastballs. Um, it is a very deep aching type of pain. Now, anecdotally, I have heard of people try and glucosamine chondroitin, uh, you know, um, and CSUs. More than anything I hear CSUs does much better, particularly with this type of issue, uh, versus Glucosomine.

[00:20:59] And [00:21:00] I think there's a good reason for that, right. It's not a cartilage wearing away issue. Um, it's more so I think, um, you know, runaway growth in the bone TCIs. And they're not quite sure how it work still, but the speculation is that it lowers cortisol somehow, or there's a cortisol, cortisol modification will be easy, you know, would be a more accurate statement.

[00:21:27] The fact that, that, you know, improves things better than Glucosomine. That makes sense to me, given the mechanisms that I just mentioned. So I would try that I would modify your forms of exercise to something that causes less pain. And then also, ultimately you gotta get it done. I would bite the bullet and do so.

[00:21:48] Um, there is always something, this is what I wanted to leave you with though. There's always something that you can do, even if it isn't your preferred form of exercise, there are [00:22:00] always options. That's true.

[00:22:04] Carl Lanore: [00:22:04] Thank you. I do agree. Guy just came in. Oh good. All my package from pure nootropic ships came in.

[00:22:11] I'm going to be working with some new I'm going to, I'm going to let you guys know what works and what doesn't. I got some cell butylene in there. Um, so women have ended up with bunions way, way more frequently than men. Couple reasons. Number one, at some point in a woman's life, she starts putting her toes.

[00:22:31] In a shoe that brings the toes together and crunches them. And then the heel of the shoe is higher than the foot of the shoe. So it pushes down into, and it literally squeezes the toes in, instead of having a nice spread out like your toes want to be, they want to be spread out. They don't want to be crunched in like this that's number one problem, but you may not be a high heel wearing woman.

[00:22:52] And that's fine. You may say no, Carl, I always wear flats. I never wore. High heels. The other reason that women end up with [00:23:00] bunions more frequently than men is because of something called foot pronation. So suppination is when you walk on the edge of your foot, right? So this is, this is the arch of your foot.

[00:23:12] This is the outside of your foot. Suppination is when you walk like this and when your shoes wear out and you put them down there, they're tilted like this out pronation is when you're feet rock inward. So when you put your heel down and put your foot down, as you roll off your ankles collapse in, and then they come up.

[00:23:33] And what that does is that puts uneven stress on the outside of the foot. The way, the way suppination puts uneven stress on the pinky toe and the outside of the foot here, pronation puts uneven stress on the arch of the foot and the great toe it's called the big toes called the great toe. Forcing the great toe in this way with every single step.

[00:23:58] And that over time [00:24:00] starts to create inflammation in the joint. The joint responds by calling osteoclasts and other bone building materials to come build a stronger joint. And you end up with the outside of the joint building, building, building, not the inside of the joint and slowly but surely the toe just starts to stay that way.

[00:24:20] The way it is that you're making it hap turn when you walk. So first thing you need to do is number one, you need to go to a running shoe store in your area. And every town has one, usually an ex professional distance runner opens up a place in town here. Um, we have a place on Bardstown road. I can't think of the Ken Combs store.

[00:24:39] So Ken Combs was a famous. Runner, they will put you on a treadmill and watch you walk barefoot, and then they will sell you a shoe and put an orthotic in it to stop you from pronating. That's the first thing you want to do because you don't want to fix this toe and then have it go back to the way it was five years later.

[00:25:00] [00:25:00] Cause then there's no, there's no second surgery for it. And in fact, you may be able to even fix it permanently. If you get the right kind of shoes that keep you from pronating, I'm willing to bet your ankles turn in a little bit. When you walk, if you take a video of yourself, you'll see what I'm talking about.

[00:25:15] But the other thing is that you may do well with a five finger type. A shoe, a glove type shoe, right? Separates each toe out and makes them stay separate. You may want to get away from a traditional running shoe that has a toe box where the toes can, because your feet are already designed where your big toe wants to go in there.

[00:25:37] You literally have to force it out. The other thing is. Get yourself, a pair of yoga toes at night when you're watching TV or working around the house and you're not going to be a walking, you put them on, they separate all the toes out and they keep them separated like this. You have to retrain the toes.

[00:25:52] If you can avoid the surgery, I would avoid it in some cases when the bunion is so [00:26:00] severe that the big toe not only turns inward, but clockwise. Okay. It doesn't just move in, but it actually rotates. They literally have to cut the toe off and turn it counter clockwise and reattach it. So that becomes the new normal for the joint.

[00:26:21] Coach Rob Regish: [00:26:21] Yeah. I don't know if this is true in every case, but I suspect. People would be at risk for it, if you're not sure dressing feet issues in general, there seems to be this cascading effect where, you know, the knee, the hip, the lower back, because of right, because of compensating on one side. Um, and so, you know, these, these feet issues, even though it might seem like small things.

[00:26:50] Can have that type of cascading effect, unless you get it addressed,

[00:26:55] Carl Lanore: [00:26:55] you are so right. You are so right about that. And we don't take care of our feet the [00:27:00] way we're supposed to. We really don't know they take a beating and we just keep on moving and we don't really care. So yeah, I would definitely look at I ankle and foot pro nation and make sure that, and go get fitted for a good running shoe at a place where they will literally fit you.

[00:27:15] They'll make you walk on a treadmill barefoot and they'll give you what you need. Dole, Joe Lashua says I'm eating a ton of protein, 300 grams a day, but not growing. I work out hard too. My sleep is on point. I'm also still in my late teens. So any idea what's going on? I'll bet you anything. I can guess the first thing you thought of when you read it.

[00:27:39] Yes, Rob,

[00:27:41] Coach Rob Regish: [00:27:41] first thing I thought of was that that's not the whole thing,

[00:27:43] Carl Lanore: [00:27:43] right? Because 300 grams of protein is 1200 calories a day. Where, where, what else, what else are you eating besides 300 grams of protein. How are you getting 3000 grams of calories of food a day?

[00:27:57] Coach Rob Regish: [00:27:57] There you go, that's that's the first place I'm going.

[00:28:00] [00:28:00] Right. So, so at first glance, all the fundamentals appear to be addressed, but in almost every case, that really isn't the case. So let's talk about why eating high amounts of protein is terrific. Yeah. You're eating enough calories from other sources, carbs and or fats to spare that protein. To do its job building muscle.

[00:28:25] Otherwise you are teaching your body to oxidize protein as an energy source. And that is very metabolically inefficient. Yeah. And expensive. So I know plenty of guy, I see a week, 300 grams of protein a day, some even more, um, almost every serious trainee can tell you down to the gram, how much protein they're eating every day.

[00:28:50] What they can't tell you. Is how many calories a day that many of these, a lot of them, these guys eating 300 grams a day are also [00:29:00] eating 2,500 calories a day, which is for most, most people homeless, inadequate for putting on muscle. Once they get those calories up to 20 times, body weight, magic things start happening.

[00:29:14] I mean, if they really do, in some instances, it may take even more than 20 a month.

[00:29:21] Carl Lanore: [00:29:21] Sorry about that. Sorry about that. Sorry about that. Timer's running guns. Go ahead.

[00:29:26] Coach Rob Regish: [00:29:26] I'm sorry. So, you know, that should give you an appreciation for how important calories are. The, the one thing I always go back to as well, my mentor did in the supermarket.

[00:29:37] Once he picked up a box of whatever and he showed me the cat calories and everything. Yes. That defaulted to 2000 calories a day. And you said, if you want to look like an average person eat 2000 calories a day, right? If you want to be twice as big to get it up to 4,000, his point, obviously it was well [00:30:00] taken.

[00:30:01] Um, so that's it. That's on the calories thing second. Okay. What does I work out hard? Really? Me. I would much, much rather. Yeah. Here's something like, you know, last workout I lifted a thousand pounds per minute, which was a hundred pounds per minute. More than the last time I did that. Work out. If you can't quantify things like that, if you can't quantify overload, you're not even firing the gun.

[00:30:31] You can have all the ammunition in the world. Best diet in the world, all that protein. But if you're not firing the gun, nothing happens now. Let's say he is training correctly and he is stimulating the muscle growth, but he's still not eating enough is, is all lost in that scenario? No. Um, because although he's not going to gain a lot of new muscle or any new muscle people can induce, still get [00:31:00] stronger.

[00:31:01] But it's primarily via a sharpened central nervous system, so to speak versus actually really building brand new muscle that however, in your late teens, which I think you said he is, yeah, that should, should not be getting strong. Getting stronger is good, but your real goal during that time period should be to pack on as much muscle as humanly possible since.

[00:31:30] Your natural testosterone growth, hormone, insulin, insulin sensitivity. I can go on. Yeah. And, um, we'll never be higher than it is during those years. In fact, by the time you hit your early thirties, the sky high hormone levels of youth, not what they once were. Now. I'm not saying they crashed down to nothing.

[00:31:54] I'm not saying you can't still build new muscle. I am saying it's going to be a lot harder hormonally [00:32:00] speaking, because you're no longer at your peak. And then on just understand a long slow, and usually steady decline awaits you as you age. And that's just, that's nature's way of getting rid of us right after we've, uh, siren children.

[00:32:20] Right. And, um, and so you go, you grow weak and frail, but. Just to recap first, I would ensure that you're eating the necessary amount of calories, at least 20 times your body weight to get the scale moving you can make. You can fine tune things after that back a little dial up. What, what, what have you second, I would ensure that you are firing the gun, which is you are overloading the muscle in some form or fashion that you can quantify every workout.

[00:32:56] And I'm assuming his sleep is good at that age. [00:33:00] Right? Most kids, you know, I still Marvel at, I asked my son, I just sleep last night, so you're good. How long did you sleep? 11 hours. Did you wake up? Did you wake up? Nope, I know, right? Yeah. Yeah. You close your eyes. You open them up. 11 hours goes by. So, you know, get those details, right?

[00:33:19] Because 300 grams a day of protein is. That is not an inexpensive hobby, right? I mean, that's, that takes some coin to consistently get 300 grams of quality protein every day. Take those steps to make the most of it.

[00:33:36] Carl Lanore: [00:33:36] Like Dave Hartnett says who you can see from his picture carries a respectable amount of muscle, late teens, prime time to grow, feed the machine and that, you know, that's what it comes down to.

[00:33:47] It almost always. Comes down. There's no such thing as a hard gainer. There's just people who aren't eating enough. And 300 grams of protein is respectable when you've got [00:34:00] another 150, 160 grams of fat and another 150 to 200 grams of carbohydrates mixed in with it. That's when magic happens, when you're starting to get into the 3000 and 4,000 calories a day consistently day in and day out for weeks and months.

[00:34:17] Then stuff starts to happen,

[00:34:19] Coach Rob Regish: [00:34:19] even when, even when some very powerful pro hormones, inactive hormones were on the market. And let's be honest, they were, there were, you know, very powerful even with that. Nothing I've ever done has touched four to 5,000 calories a day. When I was a let's call it, I think it was 19 to 25.

[00:34:45] I will never forget the power, the power of eating that many calories. Uh it's just, especially at that age, it's magic. It's magic

[00:34:58] Carl Lanore: [00:34:58] commercial break [00:35:00] later in the show, I'm going to discuss a study that provides even more evidence, that sex rewards you. The more you have it, the healthier you will be. They didn't, they didn't start out to prove that that's not what they tried, but they did prove it.

[00:35:16] And I will talk about that later in the show, stay tuned. You're watching and listening to the blueprint power hour under the right back.

[00:35:23] Coach Rob Regish: [00:35:23] This is the superhuman channel where we use oxygen for the power of doing.

[00:35:31] Carl Lanore: [00:35:31] I love medicine. I take them with every meal. In fact, I take huge doses of it. After a meal. My gut health has changed dramatically since I started using the BiOptimizers products. Really? Nope, no joking.

[00:35:44] Coach Rob Regish: [00:35:44] It's true. I'll have to tell my wife about that. Maybe it will work for her.

[00:35:48] Carl Lanore: [00:35:48] She didn't get a free bottle right now.

[00:35:50] And legitimately like pay. Yeah. You pay like four or $5 for shipping. I forget what it was. It's like priority shipping, but it's well worth giving it a try. No doubt about it.

[00:35:59] Coach Rob Regish: [00:35:59] Okay.

[00:36:00] [00:36:00] Carl Lanore: [00:36:00] Um, Brian, Calloway says I heard a past show where you say the best nootropic for most people is Modafinil. Why do you say that?

[00:36:11] And is there anything legal that comes close?

[00:36:15] Coach Rob Regish: [00:36:15] Well, this is timely. Is your package from, uh, what was it? New tropics Depot.

[00:36:21] Carl Lanore: [00:36:21] Yeah. Yeah. I can't wait to open it. I'll open it while you're talking. Go ahead.

[00:36:24] Coach Rob Regish: [00:36:24] So, um, most people yeah. And discussing nootropics are looking for something that usually helps them think faster or remember more, uh, something along those lines or, or at least feel mentally sharp nootropics.

[00:36:40] Really. If you think about it are fast becoming the new brains brain steroids, um, kids are, are using them. Both in high school and college to get an edge for doing better on SATs and exams of all sorts on the physical, physical [00:37:00] side of things. Many people like to combine a very low dose stimulants, let's say 80 to a hundred milligrams of caffeine, plus Modafinil prior to training, that will increase your focus without.

[00:37:17] Making you jittery for most people, um, the way a higher, higher dose stimulants. Well, let's, you know, almost every pre-workout today, huh? As a minimum of two. Yeah. A hundred milligrams of caffeine. And a lot of them have 400 milligrams or more. I've seen some really stupid amounts and it's not doing anyone, any favors in the gym.

[00:37:42] So, um, yeah, I would tell you that if you're interested in, I would tell you to try Modafinil before using solo before using it, um, with other stuff. And for, for, for either purpose, some people don't do well on it. [00:38:00] And some people don't like it, period. Uh, alternatively, there are some people that don't do well with it, but they do much better on our Modesto, which is, I think said to be a longer acting version.

[00:38:15] Well, things you should know, uh, technically not technically they are scheduled for drugs, right? I think, uh, and T technically you need a prescription for it. The legal alternative though. There's something called , which is simply a precursor to Modafinil developed by the French many, many years ago. It takes a little longer to kick in about 45 minutes versus 10.

[00:38:47] Uh, but more importantly, and this is really what you need to know about, uh, drafting them. It does stress the liver somewhat. It's not horrible. Uh, but their liver [00:39:00] toxicity is in the studies that shouldn't be too much of an issue if you're only using it when you really need it. Okay. You know, people that use it every day.

[00:39:11] Yeah. They're going to want to be concerned. I think about liver function. So if that's you, I would err, on the side of caution. By using things like Tuka or live 52 or  for even alpha lipoic acid, things that have been shown to improve liver function. Now we get to perfectly leave, at least for now. New tropics.

[00:39:39] There are, there's a lot of stuff out there even, I can't keep up with it, but I'll tell you this. Um, one of my favorites for years, and this was going to be the main ingredient in my pre-workout was something called. So Buddha me, it goes by some different names and there's a, if I'm [00:40:00] not mistaken, it's a, um, uh, salon is the name of the prescription in Europe, but.

[00:40:06] In effect, it is a vitamin B one analog. Don't let the fact that, I guess you mentioned, uh, become, you know, a B vitamin related compounds, low you into thinking that this stuff doesn't work. It's one of the few supplements you can, you can take and you can certainly feel it varies from person to person. Um, but.

[00:40:33] It has a very distinct effect act on the brain and your focus levels. Most people tolerate a couple hundred milligrams. No problem. I would caution you to be careful though. There are some people that whatever reason, and I don't know what it is, they can get an actual, you know, flu like that are related to it.

[00:40:58] And that's not pleasant. You [00:41:00] can avoid that. I think by working with hundred milligram amounts and graduating up, I have also. Had a lot of success with things like fenal Cara CEDAM, which is a pure CEDAM with a fenal group attached to that. It crosses the blood brain barrier, much easier, uh, something called noopept and a source of acetylcholine, such as sitcom, clean in conjunction with Hooper's IIN a or something called Galantamine.

[00:41:31] Both of those inhibit the enzyme that breaks down acetylcholine. So not only are you, are you using something that's a source of acetylcholine using something which keeps levels higher than they otherwise would be a totally STEM free combination. And I want people to try this because it's really interesting, you know, the feedback that I get really, uh, let's see.

[00:42:00] [00:42:00] I'm sorry, L tyricine three grams, a L dopa from the plant. You Kuna, Purina and DMA. Ye di methadone amino ethanol. Those should be on your short list of four for worth trying so to speak. They are all relatively inexpensive and. I would say a good 75% of the people that I recommend it to are very surprised as to how well it works, especially for a non-stimulant 25%, for whatever reason don't get in the fact.

[00:42:38] But, uh, it may be because they took it on a, a full stomach. You need to take those things on an empty stomach. So

[00:42:47] Carl Lanore: [00:42:47] I got, I got a question for you, Rob. So w is 200 milligrams of cell Buda, mean an effective dose. And do I have to worry about it? Keeping me up at night if I take it late in the day?

[00:42:58] Coach Rob Regish: [00:42:58] Yes. And yes, [00:43:00] for most people they will feel 200 milligrams and it will last anywhere between four and six hours.

[00:43:07] Carl Lanore: [00:43:07] Okay. Alright. Next question. What is pea? I've heard you talk about pea before. Pea it's email. Yeah. I'll tell you what it says.  palmate toll then. Alamein.

[00:43:25] Coach Rob Regish: [00:43:25] Yeah, no. I think if he's talking about the new Tropic pea is, uh, fenal uh, I forget the, I forget the whole thing. This

[00:43:35] Carl Lanore: [00:43:35] isn't. This is PDA it's pal, M I T O Y L palmate palmate tall.

[00:43:44] Ethin no, Alamein ethanol Alamein pea. It says a micronized for better absorption, pure nootropics.

[00:43:55] Coach Rob Regish: [00:43:55] I've read about it. Yeah. I haven't used it if it's the stuff that I'm thinking [00:44:00] of. It it's good stuff. Especially on paper. The one drawback is a very short half life.

[00:44:08] Carl Lanore: [00:44:08] And then lastly, have you heard, have you heard of a brand called dynam mean, which is a patented brand of something called methyl eye Brene methyl librarian?

[00:44:21] What is that?

[00:44:23] Coach Rob Regish: [00:44:23] It is a supposedly caffeine alternative. I would tell you if you were comparing it to caffeine, it's not even close. I originally, I was very hopeful based on the studies, but. No real world. It's not even

[00:44:36] Carl Lanore: [00:44:36] close. So if I take 200 milligrams of salbutamol, now I'll be able to get to sleep tonight.

[00:44:41] Cause it's well, more than six hours from

[00:44:43] Coach Rob Regish: [00:44:43] bedtime. Yeah. Yup. Okay.

[00:44:45] Carl Lanore: [00:44:45] I'm gonna try it. Try during the show. Her

[00:44:47] Coach Rob Regish: [00:44:47] hold on. Good.

[00:44:48] Carl Lanore: [00:44:48] Yeah, I got a whole bunch of good stuff here from the folks at Puno Tropic, you know, everything they sell is amazing. Okay. I drank four Negroni's Saturday night out [00:45:00] a dinner. I took a DHM capsule before and the DHM capsule after.

[00:45:06] And I woke up in the morning with zero hangover.

[00:45:09] Coach Rob Regish: [00:45:09] And what does it go? Corona

[00:45:11] Carl Lanore: [00:45:11] Negroni is a very powerful drink. It's a shot of gin, a shot, a compari and a half a shot of sweet vermouth on the rocks. And I had four of them in a matter of an hour and a half. And I took and I took the, I took the, uh, DHM before and after.

[00:45:27] And you can get, like, we have an amazing deal. I'll find it and put it up here in a little bit, um, where you can get DHM like super duper cheap, uh, to try it yourself. But if you're somebody who likes, uh, uh, an alcoholic beverage from time to time,

[00:45:41] Coach Rob Regish: [00:45:41] this is, this is the stuff you need.

[00:45:44] Carl Lanore: [00:45:44] Um, by the way, did you, um, I sent you that information about the, uh, The company that oversees, that offers the, um, which I call it, um, Modafinil.

[00:45:58] Yeah. Yeah. There's, there's quite a few [00:46:00] companies sell it. It's like a dollar a tablet. I don't like it. I took it. I told you I didn't like it. It made me feel clammy and it made me feel like you'll him. Bean does made me feel clammy and warm and I didn't feel good. It wasn't enjoyable at all. I was like, Oh, I won't ever do this again.

[00:46:15] Coach Rob Regish: [00:46:15] Did armor definitely feel the same way.

[00:46:17] Carl Lanore: [00:46:17] I didn't take the on Modafinil. I just took the half of a Modafinil tablet and ice was like, nah, I don't like this.

[00:46:22] Coach Rob Regish: [00:46:22] This is no good.

[00:46:23] Carl Lanore: [00:46:23] Yeah. So Rigo Vargas has a pretty long question and then we'll take a break. Uh, he says on ketones, the two companies I know of who use ketone esters, not salts or ketone aid and HMV M H V M N.

[00:46:38] They both combine one, three Buda dial and beta hydroxy, butyrate. Okay. Excuse me to exogenously induce hyper cat anemia since one, three Buda, all converts the BHB and the body naturally could one simply take D. One three Butte and dial at which you can buy a [00:47:00] hundred milliliters for about $45 and consume that.

[00:47:02] Instead, I have an opinion. I'll let you go

[00:47:05] Coach Rob Regish: [00:47:05] first. Well, I'm going to preface this by saying that I'm not the ketone salt arresters expert. Um, instead I'll just give you my take on things after reviewing some of the studies, which I found very interesting. And I learned, um, in, in researching this question, so.

[00:47:24] One three Butte and dial from now on I'll just call it one, three. It looks like to me on paper that it can and does in fact, uh, convert to beta hydroxybutyrate and serve as a substrate for brain metabolism, it was even found in one, one of the studies that I was looking at to be protective of the brain, not unlike Creotine.

[00:47:49] Now, there are a few caveats though that I found in the literature. So let's talk about it. Research in the United States on these so-called synthetic sources [00:48:00] of dietary calories. I've never seen those words in their synthetic sources of dietary counseling

[00:48:07] Carl Lanore: [00:48:07] and that, and that is exactly what dr. Dominic D'Agostino has been calling them forever.

[00:48:11] He said, this is just another source of calories.

[00:48:14] Coach Rob Regish: [00:48:14] It's interesting. Yeah. Yeah. So, so the research, as far as I can see, goes way back to 1958. NASA was looking at this stuff in an effort to develop high nutrient density food for extended space travel of the compound screened. And there were many of them.

[00:48:32] This one, three stuff was the most promising test indicated a very low acute oral. And chronic toxicity similar to that of propylene glycol or glycerol, AKA glycerin note. I didn't say no toxicity. I said low, but interestingly one, three furnishes about six calories per gram. If, if fed up.

[00:49:05] [00:49:00] Carl Lanore: [00:49:05] Dude, you dropped, you dropped out after you said six calories per gram, if fed at, and then you dropped out

[00:49:11] Coach Rob Regish: [00:49:11] if fed at a level, not exceeding 20% of the diet. So calorically it occupies this kind of rare middle ground between protein and carbs, right? At four calories per gram and fats at night. Now let's talk about why you would want to do this and what the studies show higher levels higher than 20% in the diet resulted in impairment in growth and food utilization in rats, in young animals.

[00:49:45] However, body fat stores went down as did resistance to things like stress from extreme cold. That kind of begs the question in my mind, then, you know, what is the fat loss, the result [00:50:00] of the cited impairment of food utilization it could be. And if it was, is that really a good way to lose fat? I wasn't able to determine, um, from the studies that I looked at, whether or not, you know, it was as a result of lesser food utilization, it may be that, or it may be.

[00:50:23] That it lowers blood sugar, which I found in other, but not all studies. So several studies showed it, in fact, lowered blood sugar in various animal models in other studies though, it didn't. So it's still an open question in my mind, if and how it might work for fat loss. If it does work by controlling blood sugar.

[00:50:45] And or keeping insulin steady or low, it would make all the sense in the world. Because as I've said before, you can find evidence that a million diet diets work for weight loss. The common denominator is low to steady insulin. [00:51:00] Also, no dogs fed 20%, one, three maintained, greater muscular work on treadmills, but.

[00:51:09] Larger amounts greater than 20% resulted in a decrease in performance due to decreased coordination. Not exactly sure what's going on there, but this 20% threshold seems to be big, at least in the studies that I read. I do think it's fair to say. You'll see a performance enhancing effect if for no other reason.

[00:51:32] Then the impaired function seen by some people during that transition period, when they're initiating a ketogenic diet, uh, it was actively bypassed by these products. So just think about it logically, um, These ketone salts and, or esters, whatever you want to call them, they give the brain what it needs to function in minutes.

[00:51:59] Instead [00:52:00] of days, of course, you know, of course you're going to perform better. So that is perfect. Isolating. I think what the military was after, when they commissioned DARPA, the defense advanced research projects agency who ultimately, I think contracted Pat Arnold, To make these salts, um, and create them for our troops in the field.

[00:52:23] But here's the bottom line. If you're going to try this, I'd start out very conservatively. Uh, I would ensure the amount of one, three you're consuming. Isn't more than, let's say 10% of your calorie load for the day, at least to start and providing you tolerate that well, and it shows some promise than I might consider going up to 20%, but no more.

[00:52:48] So that's my take on these things. I was never a big user of them though. Um,

[00:52:54] Carl Lanore: [00:52:54] when I, when I was at quest, they had a couple of gallon jugs of one, three dial

[00:53:00] [00:52:59] Coach Rob Regish: [00:52:59] laying around

[00:53:01] Carl Lanore: [00:53:01] and they were in the, uh, were in the area that Ron Penna, Ron Penna ran the research and design side of quest. And they came up with all the recipes and the flavors and the new foods.

[00:53:11] And these people were brilliant people. And we all will using the one-three dial. People would just take a Dixie cup and pour it and then drink it. And it tasted horrible. You have to, you have to trick your brain to make your brain think you're not drinking. Paint lacquer. I mean, that's what it tastes like.

[00:53:36] It tastes like some sort of like it would take, it tastes like something you picked up underneath your sink and drank, and that's going to kill you in a couple of minutes. That's how foul it tastes, you know, but I have to tell you all we ever used was the one, three dial Rigo. And it lasted for hours and hours and it lasted for hours and hours specifically because it's recycled through the liver and then becomes [00:54:00] BHB.

[00:54:00] So you have a C so you get the initial, uh, ketone rise in your blood. And then as it filters through the liver, you get. A second wave and that stuff was great. If you could tolerate the taste or you could find the way to mass the taste, um, I don't know. I don't think you need the V Chester. I know the V Chester is the new thing now, and that's what you're talking about.

[00:54:22] The V Chester has the BHB and the one three dial together, and this is supposed to be bad, or, um, but yeah, I think that you can get away with the one three dial and I don't think you have to calculate how much BHB is going to be converted. I think you take it. And you see how long you feel. Cause when I used to use it, I wasn't hungry.

[00:54:43] Yup. My brain was very clear. I usually was fasting on those days. I was fasting for long periods of time, 24, 48 hours. And I was just using the one, three dial when I was in California. And yeah, it just it's. You just don't look for food. It's useless. It's sustained you. I [00:55:00] think that that is probably more important.

[00:55:02] How you feel then doing calculations about what's going to convert to BHB once it passes through the liver and also. If you go to the website, SHR network.biz/dhm, you'll get 20% off the DHM. I was talking about if you're a fan of the occasional alcoholic beverage, this is a must have, why w why drink and feel anything the next day, other than fantastic.

[00:55:27] That's what this stuff does for you. So check it out. Um, I think the next thing we have to cover is in fact, the, uh, blueprint tip of the day,

[00:55:36] Coach Rob Regish: [00:55:36] it's simple

[00:55:36] Carl Lanore: [00:55:36] to do that. Yeah. So here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to take a break. Also want to remind people that we have a, a nice new Instagram page. It's at super human radio.

[00:55:45] We would love for you to like it, share it, follow us. And we're going to take a quick commercial break. When we come back, we have the blueprints of the day. And later in the show, I'm going to tell you again, you know, I don't know anybody else in the health, [00:56:00] fitness and longevity. An area that has a podcast that has been telling people for over a decade now how important regular sex is to living long and being,

[00:56:12] Coach Rob Regish: [00:56:12] and yeah.

[00:56:13] Carl Lanore: [00:56:13] And yeah, studies keep proving me. Right. And we're going to talk about one in a second, uh, after, after today's show first hour, that is especially important to women or anybody who was worried about osteoporosis. What sex and osteoporosis. Yep. Stay tuned. We'll be right back bridge

[00:56:35] Coach Rob Regish: [00:56:35] human channel.

[00:56:36] Carl Lanore: [00:56:36] We're ripped and we're ready.

[00:56:43] welcome back. What is the blueprint tip of the day? Coach

[00:56:48] Coach Rob Regish: [00:56:48] tip of the day is thoughts on where you train? Does it make a difference? So now that Jim's in my state up here in Massachusetts, because it's have reopened, [00:57:00] uh, I've had the opportunity to bring my son and yeah. News friend, uh, back there to train, but, you know, in the course of doing so it became apparent that something was lost and I'm still trying to put my finger on it, but there are a few things that come to mind.

[00:57:20] Number one, fresh air and sunshine. Training outside affords you the opportunity, obviously for plenty of both. And for kids today that don't run, don't play in pretty much. Don't go up. That's okay. It's big. Right. As is. Speaking of sunshine by training outside, they get a healthy dose of vitamin D and we all know how important that is, right?

[00:57:48] It's the only vitamin doctors test for, um, to say nothing of what we know about vitamin D and its benefit in so far [00:58:00] as being protective of COVID. And if you do get it, you know, it's not as bad. So there's that number three, we trained on a grammar school playground, which means we were limited to the equipment that I could stuff in my car.

[00:58:17] That however is one of the biggest blessings that you can imagine, because the work that you can do with a simple trap bar, some free weights, you know, a weighted vest, a sled, and a few other odds and ends builds more muscle. Then virtually all of the machines put in XYZ, Jim put together, you know, there are some good machines, but the point being, uh, they're working big compound movements, the way most adults should.

[00:58:49] Now, speaking of that playground, uh, they're a little different from what I remember right. When I was a kid. And although that's going way back, [00:59:00] it was interesting to me because gone, gone as the concrete surface or dirt, right. That was part of a, uh, underneath the swing, let's say, and in its place today, they have this spongy stuff.

[00:59:14] I don't know what they call it, but it looks like rock pavement. But it's very, very, um, springy. Let's say if, if you, uh, if you're about 200 pounds and you step on it, you will feel yourself, sink a little,

[00:59:28] Carl Lanore: [00:59:28] you don't, you don't think it's just a, that they've started recycling car tires for, for playgrounds.

[00:59:34] Coach Rob Regish: [00:59:34] Well, that might be it.

[00:59:35] Carl Lanore: [00:59:35] Yeah. There's this whole movement because we have car tires. Have you, every time you buy new tires, you literally pay $5. For each tire that they're taking off your car so that it can be sent to one of the accepted, uh, locations where they a store tires, tires don't they don't break down over time.

[00:59:54] They just, so they store them and this company came up with two products. They came up with one [01:00:00] that they using. To add to asphalt, to make highways and roadways last longer. And they're actually recycling the rubber from the car tires into the asphalt. The other one is they, they, they chop the car, ties up into these big, chunky looking pieces that look like big black pieces of gravel almost, or, and they use them for playgrounds.

[01:00:24] Coach Rob Regish: [01:00:24] Right. And so, you know, whatever where it is, but I think that's it. I think it's made from recycled tires. It is ideal for a deadlifting off, up. Right. And then I also had the kids, um, do cleans just with a barbell, a straight bar bell. No, wait, hadn't do kettlebell cleans and you show them the clean and jerk.

[01:00:48] And then at the end, of course, you show you you're dropping the weight, just dropping it from the very, in some cases, very high level. Um, and there's, there's no problem [01:01:00] doing so on this material. So they save, they saved my freeways. Um, No, we did everything from trap bar, dead lifts, two standing over and head presses with that trap bar.

[01:01:14] One legged squats, both with body weight and the weight vest crawl outs into pushups where the kids I had had them put their feet on the swings. Right. I think too, that little plastic strap that the kids sit in, have them put their feet in there, had them walk out, alligator walks to do a pushup, go back, do it over again.

[01:01:38] And I had them climb the swing set. And touch the top pool. Now, interestingly enough, uh, there were no monkey bars at any of the playgrounds I went to when I went to a bunch of

[01:01:53] Carl Lanore: [01:01:53] women, they did away with them because they're afraid kids are going to fall and hurt themselves. No serious. They did away with that.

[01:02:00] [01:02:00] I read an article. It was about four or five years ago. We talked about it on casual Friday day, all the parks and all the municipal run parks. We're getting rid of the monkey bars because they're afraid that kids are gonna fall off.

[01:02:10] Coach Rob Regish: [01:02:10] Yeah, I knew something must be going on with it. That's sad. That's really sad.

[01:02:15] There's no place really to chin. Uh, so I came up with something different for them. I had them climb the supports, the swing set supports, uh, which was a real challenge because the courts are they're angled outwards, right.

[01:02:32] Carl Lanore: [01:02:32] Under them and climb up. Yeah.

[01:02:36] Coach Rob Regish: [01:02:36] Right. And so that that's, that's tougher than climbing straight up.

[01:02:40] Right. Um, now it can get a little hot and humid, especially this time of year, even up here on the Northeast. Uh, but that too though, is a learning, learning experience. Right. It illustrates. How important hydration and electrolytes are, uh, because [01:03:00] exercising and that kind of heat, it doesn't take long to sweat them both out.

[01:03:04] And then finally, for finishers, we did, I had him do either loaded carries or with the trap bar or heavy drags with the sled and or sprints, both with. And without the sleds, the kids really enjoyed the sprints at the end, mostly because I set it up as a race. So after they're done dragging the sled heavy, uh, I had them drop everything and sprint side by side with me where I'm sprinting too.

[01:03:38] But I was dragging a 50 pounds left, which was really fun, you know, and, and eye opening too. So there's a lot to gain from training outside more than most people know. It's, it's still very hot up here this time of year, but the fall is coming soon. [01:04:00] And that is ideal, you know, ideally time to return, I think, to the playground and for you, you know, listening, the situation is much the same.

[01:04:09] These are public places, generally speaking, you know, you can pull workouts on them. No problem take what you have to a local playground or school, and don't be afraid to get creative. The stuff you come up with, uh, is really challenging in some cases like those climbs that I was telling you about, um, For a surprise.

[01:04:31] The last time we trained outside, I had them push and pull my car right after I got in it and put it in neutral. They, they love that they got a huge kick out of that. And I will always remember the smiles on their faces. Right. Cause they were having fun. They were training, but they were having fun, fun in the process of doing so.

[01:04:53] Just stuff like that sticks with you now. You can do the same and more, a lot more. [01:05:00] You've heard me mentioned many times on this show about body weight work, right. Body, weight training for years. And here's another good example. If pushups are too easy for you. Do those crawl outs. I was talking about, put your feet in the seat of a swing set, uh, and crawl forward.

[01:05:20] Do a pushup, go back, rinse wash, repeat until you can't do it anymore. See how many you can do it is brutal. It really is. And. It's a great, it's really fun, you know, change of pace from whatever you were doing, whatever pushup variation you were doing before. Um, try that angle climb on the swing set poles.

[01:05:44] I told the kids if they can clock shimmy up that and touch the top, you know, vertical, uh, pull the swing set. That's one rep and. Needless to say they didn't, they didn't get many, but most people won't [01:06:00] right. Including me, probably

[01:06:02] Carl Lanore: [01:06:02] none. If you're hanging like that, I mean, not a problem,

[01:06:06] Coach Rob Regish: [01:06:06] but I'm telling you, it's like I did a couple just to get a feel for it.

[01:06:09] And the burning you feel in your, in your biceps and your lats and even in your abs, it's, it's, it's a completely different feeling and the good feeling. So, so here's the bottom line. Get outside and train, even if it's just once in a while, let's say a couple times a month, I guarantee you're going to find that it's challenging, but it's also fun.

[01:06:36] You get amazed at what you've been missing. Really. I was, I was completely blown away by it. So

[01:06:44] Carl Lanore: [01:06:44] yeah, when I lived at, when I lived in, I used to have a, a set of, uh, yeah. Portable uprights to walk from.

[01:06:54] Coach Rob Regish: [01:06:54] Yup.

[01:06:55] Carl Lanore: [01:06:55] And I used to take my Olympic bar and some 45 pound [01:07:00] plates and my uprights cause they came apart in the middle.

[01:07:03] They had a screw part and I used to take them to the park and I used to do lit fees. I used to do squats.

[01:07:11] Coach Rob Regish: [01:07:11] Yep.

[01:07:12] Carl Lanore: [01:07:12] Rack the bar and then sprint to the, I used to sprint to the light pole, which was probably about 100 yards and then walk back and then I do squats and then I would,

[01:07:22] Coach Rob Regish: [01:07:22] yeah, that sounds brutal.

[01:07:24] Carl Lanore: [01:07:24] I know, you know, I was in such good shape back then.

[01:07:27] I'm not in that kind of shape today. I'd like to be in that kind of shape again. And I just need to, I just need to make, uh, getting to the gym. Like, I'll go to the gym today. You have to work. I just need to make getting to the gym of my priority. It's I just have so many plates in the air that it's know it's hard.

[01:07:43] Coach Rob Regish: [01:07:43] Well, the thing that we, one of the thing that we did, and you can only really do this outside is I had them take a barbell and from the ground, clean it and toss it as high over their heads. As it'll go. Right. And then obviously [01:08:00] it falls back on the ground and then you walk over.

[01:08:03] Carl Lanore: [01:08:03] You hope it doesn't fall on their head.

[01:08:06] Coach Rob Regish: [01:08:06] Yeah. But, but it builds a tremendous amount of explosive strength because there's no break. Right.

[01:08:15] Carl Lanore: [01:08:15] They know, and they know I got to throw this Nuttall only far enough up, but far enough behind me that it doesn't hit me. So they're really gonna, they're gonna use extra energy, not to get hit by the bar.

[01:08:27] Coach Rob Regish: [01:08:27] A Lexi, the silly Alexi, the great Russian by many counts, the world's strongest man he's since passed on, but that was one of his favorite exercises.

[01:08:36] You just took a bar and tossed it as high as he possibly could. And so, you know, his results certainly speak for them.

[01:08:45] Carl Lanore: [01:08:45] Did he have weight on it or was he just using the bar?

[01:08:48] Coach Rob Regish: [01:08:48] Nope. From what I read, he, he just used the bar and he worked on tossing it higher every time. That's brilliant. You

[01:08:57] Carl Lanore: [01:08:57] know, yet, uh, the website is  [01:09:00] dot com.

[01:09:00] You can go there and learn more, uh, read some of a coach's writings, sign up for the blueprint bulletin and get this stuff sent to your email inbox all the time.

[01:09:11] Coach Rob Regish: [01:09:11] Um,

[01:09:12] Carl Lanore: [01:09:12] are you still running a special on the blueprint bulletin?

[01:09:15] Coach Rob Regish: [01:09:15] No, we actually stopped out at the end of the month. Okay. Um, how well Culliver, it was so popular.

[01:09:22] I had more people sign up than I ever had before. And with good reason, it was just a sweetheart deal. We will do that again. Um, certainly before the end of the year. And I will let you know, as soon as we figure it out. Okay.

[01:09:37] Carl Lanore: [01:09:37] Alright. So there you go.  dot com. Go check it out. We're going to take a quick commercial break.

[01:09:40] When we come back, I'm going to prove to you yet again, why job number one from a evolutionary. The standpoint is sex and why you are rewarded with greater longevity and health. The more frequently you have sex, we'll be right back with more States. You spit

[01:09:58] Coach Rob Regish: [01:09:58] that out right now. [01:10:00] This is the superhuman

[01:10:01] Carl Lanore: [01:10:01] channel.

[01:10:05] Welcome back. This'll be short and sweet. So I first started talking about the importance of sex. Oh, at least a decade ago, when the first study showed that men who had more frequent orgasms were protected against getting aggressive prostate cancer, then some years later they did another study. Very similar to see if, uh, if, if the more orgasms you had early in life.

[01:10:38] Uh, tra translated to less prostate cancer later in life. And that's true too. And then they did another study that showed that older men, uh, who reported. Having more orgasms and they, the top tier was 22 orgasms a month, which means that these guys were having sex Monday through Friday, [01:11:00] which also means they were either seeing prostitutes that they had a wife that was on HRT because she was willing to continue to have sex too.

[01:11:08] Let's be honest, women. Don't just lose it. Yeah. Libido when they're not on HRT. Uh, the functionality of their vagina changes. They can't have sex a lot because they don't lubricate easily. It's painful, there's actual shrinkage of the tissue and so on. But the guys who, the guy who had 22 orgasms a month had literally non-existent psh.

[01:11:35] And all of the, uh, any evidence of any kind of a BPH, a benign prostate hyper hyperplasia was gone. Hypertrophy was gone. They had no prostate cancer in the group at all. And so the study was the more orgasms you have. Um, they less likely you are to get prostate cancer. Now from an evolutionary perspective, this makes [01:12:00] so much sense to me, right?

[01:12:00] Because. Self-actualization is, is a construct of humans, right? The reality is from, from the, the little mouse to the big rhinoceros, there's only one job. And that is to live long enough to make babies and then go away and make, make it, let the babies continue out. And that is to continue the trajectory of the species.

[01:12:26] That's that's the only job you have your job. Becoming a successful rapper, powerlifter, executive owning a big home, owning a big boat. That's all BS that has nothing to do with the human condition. That is self actualization. Those are desires and wants and things, but at the end of the day, they don't, they don't matter to your body.

[01:12:48] Your body doesn't care about that stuff. When your body does care about. Is that you're having lots of sex. And if you're still having lots of sex at an advanced age, then that means to the [01:13:00] body you're still capable of fathering a child. And if you're still capable of fathering a child, then your job here isn't done yet.

[01:13:07] And your body will work hard to keep you alive. And I've said just recently, I was just interviewed on someone's show recently. And I said, when your libido goes away, start to worry. When you lose your libido, your body is sick. The first sign that you're sick may actually be that you lose your libido.

[01:13:27] That's the Canary in the mind, the minute that you start to lose your libido, look at what's wrong with you. Find out what's wrong with you. Fix yourself. Libido is a greater indicator of how much longer you're going to live. I've been saying this for years. No, one's proven this, but. I'm waiting for it.

[01:13:45] Libido is a more evidence of how long you're going to live than anything else you have today. Telomere length to anything like that. Okay. So, so with that being said, A group in Brazil, [01:14:00] looked at the hormone. Oxytocin. Oxytocin is produced by the pituitary, the hypothalamus, the pituitary, and it's produced in great amounts in response to orgasm.

[01:14:14] It it's actually called the love hormone. It's the hormone that is responsible for. Pairing that the more, the more you make love to you, you a woman or you're a man, the more orgasms you experience with that person, the deeper the bond is with that person. The harder it is to walk away from them, we call it love, but it's a chemical effect in the brain.

[01:14:43] We know this. And the more orgasms you have, the more oxytocin your body produces. Now oxytocin. We did a show probably six years ago, maybe seven that showed that oxytocin, [01:15:00] oxytocin increases a microbe in the gut called L Rytary and L Rytary is associated with better aging, uh, rodents that had higher El Rytary.

[01:15:12] Uh, in their gut from infusing them with oxytocin, literally started acting like young rodents. Again, their code change, their desire to make change their willingness to venture out changed as opposed to the old rodents that they were before they were introduced to X, excess oxytocin. I did another show that showed that old rodents and young rodents compared.

[01:15:41] They did. They injured the muscle with a, probably like a syringe, the young muscles, the young rodents, their muscles healed quickly. The old rodents naturally healed very, very, very slowly, but once they started giving the old road, it's oxytocin their [01:16:00] muscles recovered faster than the young muscles. Well, and that's why I, to, I started taking oxytocin because I wanted it to help me from workout to workout, to make my muscles act more like young muscles.

[01:16:11] Okay. This is

[01:16:13] Coach Rob Regish: [01:16:13] also, is it in breast milk?

[01:16:16] Carl Lanore: [01:16:16] No, it's produced when women breastfeed. Okay. That's that? And that's why women bond with their baby through breast, but through breastfeeding, it's produced. During during, uh, uh, prolactin is the one that's produced to help the muscle, the milk come out to relax the breast muscles, but oxytocin is produced during breastfeeding to make the mother bond with the baby.

[01:16:42] Now it's also well known that in women. Oxytocin levels drop dramatically as they go through menopause at around peri-menopause women's oxytocin levels plummet, and some research shows that this is directly tied to women's [01:17:00] feeling. Like life is unfulfilling. They missed out. They don't feel close to their children.

[01:17:07] They don't feel close to that. They want to get rid of everybody. They want to start all over again. And, and there's, there's good research that shows that when women start to go through menopause as estrogen levels, drop oxytocin levels, drop and their sense,

[01:17:24] Coach Rob Regish: [01:17:24] the connection.

[01:17:24] Carl Lanore: [01:17:24] Well, it's, it's it's empathy.

[01:17:26] They, they lose empathy and sympathy. They lose it because those are directly related to oxytocin,

[01:17:33] Coach Rob Regish: [01:17:33] which are typical female traits,

[01:17:37] Carl Lanore: [01:17:37] right. Until they go through menopause and then they don't care about anybody. They want to get rid of their husband. They don't care if the kids come home anymore, just leave me alone.

[01:17:44] Where's my bottle of wine. I just want to have a glass of wine. That's all. Yeah. The wine is the replacement for the oxytocin.

[01:17:50] Coach Rob Regish: [01:17:50] So

[01:17:51] Carl Lanore: [01:17:51] this group in Brazil, Showed that by giving old rodents oxytocin, it reversed the [01:18:00] osteopenia and kept them from developing osteoporosis. So oxytocin the way it acts on muscle.

[01:18:07] It apparently acts on bone as well.

[01:18:11] Coach Rob Regish: [01:18:11] Well, that's extremely interesting. I'm surprised people haven't pursued that further in our

[01:18:16] Carl Lanore: [01:18:16] field. This was just discovered. This was just discovered. Okay, this was just discovered. Um, but the reality is that women just need to have sex more and have orgasms more to reverse their osteoporosis and osteopenia because the greatest amount of, of oxytocin is produced by men and women during orgasm.

[01:18:41] So,

[01:18:41] Coach Rob Regish: [01:18:41] yeah, I mean, it all makes total sense to me. It's very logical. It's very logical.

[01:18:47] Carl Lanore: [01:18:47] Think about it. Go back to what I said. If, if sex is the only job you have and the more sex you have, you're, you're doing your job and evolution says, as long as you can continue to do your job, you can occupy a [01:19:00] space on this planet.

[01:19:01] Then. The body starts to break apart and fall apart and wither away when you stop doing your job. And so when women stop having orgasms the muscles, fail, the bones, start to fail. Everything's got to fail. Cause the bottom of the body, the body is disposable. Now we've got to get you off the planet. We're not going to keep rebuilding stuff.

[01:19:20] We're not putting energy into rebuilding bone.

[01:19:23] Coach Rob Regish: [01:19:23] Yeah, the physical consequences of what is going on in the brain to me are fascinating. And that's, I think a prime example, right. You know, I'm having sex as much. The pituitary you said is no longer producing oxytocin. Right. And the next thing you know, I'm sorry,

[01:19:43] Carl Lanore: [01:19:43] hypothalamus.

[01:19:43] The hypothalamus. I

[01:19:45] Coach Rob Regish: [01:19:45] was well hypothalamus. And the next thing you know, you're falling apart of the seams physically. Physically speaking

[01:19:51] Carl Lanore: [01:19:51] and you and you, and that's your job once you can't make babies anymore, your job is to get off the planet you're done. That's the only job you have.

[01:20:00] [01:20:00] Coach Rob Regish: [01:20:00] Yeah. Well, I mean, just, just look at, uh, you know, generally people that are having lots of sex are generally much happier people right.

[01:20:11] Than people that aren't. And I'm sure this is a big part of the reason.

[01:20:15] Carl Lanore: [01:20:15] And you know, and there's a lot of people out there who are getting older and they're just not having sex anymore. And they don't think they say, Oh, I just don't feel like having sex. Well, I'm going to tell you a secret, the more sex you have, the more sexual one.

[01:20:29] Coach Rob Regish: [01:20:29] Yeah. The more you want. Right. That's the truth. Yeah.

[01:20:32] Carl Lanore: [01:20:32] Yeah. Not having sex, if you start forcing yourself. Well, you know, and, and especially if you're.

[01:20:38] Coach Rob Regish: [01:20:38] Especially if it's good.

[01:20:40] Carl Lanore: [01:20:40] Well, no, it doesn't even have to be good. That's the best part. No orgasm doesn't have a quality, you know, it's it's you, you have an orgasm, you produce all the mechanisms that you want from the orgasm.

[01:20:51] You're doing good. It doesn't have to be like, Oh man, we are just rock stars in bed. No, it could just be a couple sessions a week and they don't have to [01:21:00] last hours. It doesn't have to be like when you were young, it could just be a couple 10, 15 minutes, even five minutes, whatever. You'd get the job done.

[01:21:08] Your body is going to be rewarded with greater health and longevity. It's a fact, it's a Megan fact when women too, the problem is that men, as we get older, we tend to still want sex and women. They're a little bit more complex because when they go through menopause, a lot of times they not only lose desire.

[01:21:27] But they lose the physical ability to have sex. It's painful. It doesn't feel comfortable. It's not enjoyable anymore. What they need to understand is if they start having more sex and if they start having more orgasms, they will start to function better. Their, their bodies will function better because they'll be telling their body, Hey, I'm still good.

[01:21:48] I'm still ready to go. I can still do the job.

[01:21:51] Coach Rob Regish: [01:21:51] Yeah. Yeah. I mean, all of that, like I said is, to me, it's very logical makes a lot of sense. And, um, [01:22:00] I will be surprised where people go with this now that this information is out

[01:22:05] Carl Lanore: [01:22:05] well here. So, so the guys out there who aren't getting enough sex at home, tell you why, if you want to do a favor, so she doesn't break a bone, say, honey, I don't want you to break your hip sitting down, so we need to have sex so I can keep your bones nicer.

[01:22:19] Coach Rob Regish: [01:22:19] Right. But both of you win. Yeah, right?

[01:22:22] Carl Lanore: [01:22:22] Yeah. And you keep your bones strong too.

[01:22:28] Really? Yeah. Real talks. And there you go. So that's it from sex rewards, sex rewards, the species it really, really does. And in the case of women, more orgasms equals more oxytocin, equals stronger bones and reversing osteoporosis. And that's science, baby. It's not me. This scientists in Brazil proved it here.

[01:22:50] So that's it. That's all for today. Have fun. Don't forget.  dot com is the place to go to learn more about the coach and we'll see everybody tomorrow with more Su-Preme [01:23:00] radio. Thanks Rob.
