[00:00:00] Carl Lanore: [00:00:00] welcome back to another episode of superhuman radio. Today is Tuesday, which means we have the blueprint Powell which is going to start in just a moment, but I just wanted a dry everybody's attention to the fact that I'm not shaving and while the hair on my head is black thanks to Modern color technology the hair on my face is all gray.

[00:00:18] There's no escaping the fact that I'm an old fart now, we have a good show plan today and we're going to talk about a few things that. I'm just going to rip about I'll talk about my experience using progesterone cream. I think it's an important discussion. I'm going to talk about caffeine because lo and behold I've been using it again.

[00:00:39] Rob is laughing right now. Let's go ahead and bring Rob on holistic.

[00:00:44] Coach Rob Regish: [00:00:44] Calling all blueprint Army fall

[00:00:46] Carl Lanore: [00:00:46] in

[00:00:47] Coach Rob Regish: [00:00:47] line. It's time for the blueprint Power Hour with Coach Rodriguez on the Superhuman radio network.

[00:00:56] Carl Lanore: [00:00:56] So when we will offer Rob said to me, so where you where you would [00:01:00] caffeine now, and I said, I'm using it again when I went to visit Aaron Sangamon one morning.

[00:01:08] I was a little. Feeling wonky. And so I had a total war and I drank half of it and I was like, wow, I feel really good and then that became a total war every morning and then Aaron, you know as generous as he is he sent me two cases of Total War and I've been drinking them in the. And I have to stop and I have a plan for stopping I'm talk about it later in the show.

[00:01:33] But yeah, I'm you know, I'm like the crackhead who you know goes back and says I you know, I got off the wagon for a little while but I do have held up.

[00:01:42] Coach Rob Regish: [00:01:42] How long did it last how long were you off caffeine couple

[00:01:44] Carl Lanore: [00:01:44] months couple months and I actually felt good if it wasn't for the trip. I probably still be off but traveling kind of whacked me a little bit.

[00:01:53] I drank alcohol on that trip and that whacked me and then I said, you know, I woke up one morning and was [00:02:00] like man. I really just feel like sleep for another hour, but I can't

[00:02:02] Coach Rob Regish: [00:02:02] totally right good man. Well to each his own right I gave it up and I'm in I don't know week two or three of that. So, you know do I miss it sometimes but I'm finding other ways when we put it that way.

[00:02:18] Carl Lanore: [00:02:18] Well, we're going to talk we're going to talk about dopamine at the end of the show. Sure, and I think the discussion will help you stay off of caffeine. I predict

[00:02:28] Coach Rob Regish: [00:02:28] I hope so.

[00:02:30] Carl Lanore: [00:02:30] Yeah, because because listen, you know, I know everybody's like oh caffeine is so good for you the research on coffee, maybe for some people it's okay as you get older.

[00:02:40] I don't think it's okay and I'm going to tell you why people use it at the end of today's show and really why they use. And how you can avoid if you do really want to kick caffeine how you can stack the odds in your favor of kicking it for good. So what's going on with you coach?

[00:02:56] Coach Rob Regish: [00:02:56] Well, we have [00:03:00] extended the special I guess on Korean a bowline.

[00:03:05] It's. You can use the discount code coach 15 you get 15% off. This product uses the very same full spectrum reponsible MacArthur modes extract that is used in some fashion. So, you know as a comparison, it's. It's one that I would encourage you to make if you're a fan of effect you stare on then this is certain this would certainly be a product.

[00:03:29] You want to have some experience with me put it that way probably better for bulking than it is Recon Cynthia Jin's kind of Forte's recap. So if you're bulking Korean a bowline and you can get it at 15% off now coach 15

[00:03:46] Carl Lanore: [00:03:46] by going through which.

[00:03:49] Coach Rob Regish: [00:03:49] Oh, yeah, how about that bodybuilding supplements.com?

[00:03:52] Yeah,

[00:03:52] Carl Lanore: [00:03:52] we don't we don't want to forget where to send them. So John will go. Hey, nobody's buying this stuff. What happened Rob give the website.

[00:04:00] [00:04:00] Coach Rob Regish: [00:04:00] I'm quite the salesman. Huh

[00:04:02] Carl Lanore: [00:04:02] just goes to show that your heart is not in selling. No, Michael Daly says, I've been listening to your rhabdo situation, and I understand you've started back train again.

[00:04:12] I hope everything goes well, but I'm wondering. How long were you off and how much muscle did you lose? I may have to take an extended break from training myself and would like to know what to expect.

[00:04:29] Coach Rob Regish: [00:04:29] Yeah, it's a really good question right from time to time either due to injury or other factors.

[00:04:36] We take time off from the gym. So everybody wants to know kind of how fast you're going to lose it. Well, there's a lot of things that go into that. I think first and foremost is how many years you've been doing this, you know, if you're like me and you've been doing it for 30 some odd years and you by and large.

[00:04:54] Pursued strength, which means you've built a muscle through myofibrillar [00:05:00] hypertrophy actual thickening of the muscle fibers and seven just pumping them up with fluid. You know, you're not going to lose it in a couple months, but to answer your question more directly. I was off for for a minimum of 12 weeks or 3-4 months.

[00:05:16] I'll check my training logs and they have gone a couple weeks even further than that, but. Obviously a long time per doctor's orders, you know, don't touch weights don't do any resistance training and given that amount of time off most people. I think it'd be fair to say what expect to lose a fair amount of muscle tissue and strength.

[00:05:38] The fact is I didn't and I know that for a fact because three days prior to being hospitalized for Rambo. I took measurements. Take your fungi. Take measurements about every. Four to six weeks and so I have them in hand and as [00:06:00] the time off progressed, I re-measured myself every two weeks. I lost nothing in terms of inches.

[00:06:08] I lost nothing in terms of pounds off the scale. And in fact when I went back to the gym recently my strength. I'm within 10% of my all-time best. So I retained about 90% of my strength. So that's what

[00:06:25] Carl Lanore: [00:06:25] I want. I want to inject something here. No pun intended and you and I had a discussion off the air and we actually had a discussion of where I just casually mentioned.

[00:06:35] During a one of our episodes of BPH and you didn't respond because you didn't realize you were taking both of these components until you thought wait a minute that's in in one of my supplements already so good now good.

[00:06:50] Coach Rob Regish: [00:06:50] It's exactly as you said it, you know of these couple weeks ago after I said, hey, I'm lost anything.

[00:06:57] You asked me are you taking curcumin and fish oil [00:07:00] to which I responded Yes. And so I look further in and of course you made the point and it's supported here in the research from the Journal of nutrition research title of the study is effective combined fish oil and curcumin on skeletal muscle morphology and stress response proteins during mechanical unloading.

[00:07:24] That's

[00:07:25] Carl Lanore: [00:07:25] not working out. That's that's our song. It's his way of saying you're not going to the gym

[00:07:31] Coach Rob Regish: [00:07:31] right unloading me means couch time and you know, you can sum it up in their conclusions. What they say is the combination of fish oil and curcumin prevent skeletal muscle atrophy due to this is interesting a boost of heat shock proteins and antibiotic signal.

[00:07:52] In an unloaded state. So for me, I got curcumin as part of Tranquility Jenai I [00:08:00] take that daily. It's it's kind of a little brother of centage in and doesn't get as much play but curcumin is the number one ingredient and of course, I was taken six grams of fish oil every day. The other ingredients in Tranquility.

[00:08:16] Mmm as it turns out our anti cat and bollocks in their own, right and so I'll cite one of them here ashwagandha study entitled a prospective randomized double-blind placebo-controlled study of safety and efficacy of full spectrum extract of. Ashwagandha and what they concluded was the treatment group that was given this full-spectrum ashwagandha at the end of day 60 all of their scores on the stress assessment scales were considerably lower the people who got Placebo the serum their serum cortisol levels, and this has been.

[00:08:58] Were also [00:09:00] substantially lower relative to the placebo group. So there's another ingredient now, I look at rhodiola rhodiola to me is pretty clean daytime energy for some people and others that calms them down, but sure enough. There's a 2019 study something up rodeos effect on. You know as far as preventing muscle wasting nicely it what they said was taken together these results suggest that rhodiola alleviate denervation induced inflammation response.

[00:09:34] Thereby inhibiting muscle atrophy. So. Even that if they're as 2015 that's in it, you know, there's a 2013 17 Japanese study that I pulled up and it basically says astaxanthin supplementation prior to and during hind lib hind limb rather unloading AKA bedrest. This was done rats attenuates. Soleus [00:10:00] muscle atrophy.

[00:10:01] When you add it all up in that one product. I've got at least four. Pretty potent anti-cancer bollocks working to keep muscle on me right via and this was interesting to they're all doing it via different mechanisms. Now you add fish oil into that party and the effect became becomes even more pronounced.

[00:10:23] So so here's the bottom line in the anabolic versus catabolic war that goes on in your body 24/7 these two. Tilt that scale pretty dramatically in your favor, you know, I would argue with when you don't lose anything in 12 weeks and not training at all. That's pretty dramatic now consider what I'm doing.

[00:10:47] I'm adding back in some smart training in a few performance enhancers like creatine and like sent the gym, you know, if you still can't build muscle. I take [00:11:00] up darts or golf or something. You know, I mean come on as non-drug interventions. These things are really well

[00:11:08] Carl Lanore: [00:11:08] with and when you think about it, if they keep you from losing muscle when you're not training for 12 weeks.

[00:11:14] Imagine what they're going to do for the net creation and maintenance of muscle while you're training, you know, the like you always talk about there's a war going on between anabolism and catabolism. Every single day you train you eat but there's always a natural relationship that your body is breaking down muscle and your body is building muscle and the goal is at the end of each day to have a net gain very small net gain.

[00:11:43] Maybe you know pulls in One Direction pulls the other direction. You have a net gain of one and if these compounds. Can protect muscle when you're not training imagine what they're going to do to increase that net gain every single day maybe instead of one it's three.

[00:11:59] Coach Rob Regish: [00:11:59] Yeah.

[00:12:00] [00:12:00] Carl Lanore: [00:12:00] So I mean we're talking about when we talk about gaining muscle.

[00:12:02] We talk about millimeters write everyday millimeters. That's what you really talking about.

[00:12:08] Coach Rob Regish: [00:12:08] Yeah, I mean if you think about it if scientists develop a drug today. But kept all the muscle on you given complete bed rest. Would you take it? Of course you would you know, these just so happened to be over the counter no prescription necessary.

[00:12:23] So

[00:12:24] Carl Lanore: [00:12:24] so Darcy clock has a really good question. Yep. He says he hasn't looked at the formula for for tranquil Aegean the how do you increase the bioavailability of curcumin in your formula? Do you even do anything to increase the bioavailability?

[00:12:37] Coach Rob Regish: [00:12:37] Yes, we do. We include substances

[00:12:41] Carl Lanore: [00:12:41] by Pirates.

[00:12:42] Coach Rob Regish: [00:12:42] Bio an yeah, which is there which is their trademark black pepper extract which you know in human volunteers showed a dramatic increase in Kirk humans bioavailability.

[00:12:54] If you happen to buy curcumin without that without some other, you know absorption [00:13:00] and answer I would take you to I would tell you rather to take it with a fat

[00:13:04] Carl Lanore: [00:13:04] and you are take a view that might I was going to say take it with your fish.

[00:13:09] Coach Rob Regish: [00:13:09] You gotta

[00:13:10] Carl Lanore: [00:13:10] take it to take 2 or 3 grams of fish oil one time take it with your fish roe because now you have a fat and the fat has been shown to help the the tumeric or curcumin whatever you want to call it be absorbed faster and better.

[00:13:23] There you go.

[00:13:24] Coach Rob Regish: [00:13:24] Yeah, it's good stuff and it's research proven to work.

[00:13:29] Carl Lanore: [00:13:29] Shane do glay says you've talked a lot about act I stammer own and. Your belief that it helps to build muscle this stuff shouldn't come before creatine or protein though, right?

[00:13:41] Coach Rob Regish: [00:13:41] He's absolutely right. I consider act East are mmm.

[00:13:48] A much more. What should I say? It's much better utilized when you have. Years and years of training under your belt. So let me give me let me give you my philosophy on [00:14:00] this and this extensive pretty much all supplements in general because I see a lot of kids that on day one and the gym there on Creatine there on beta alanine there on fish oil.

[00:14:12] There. Are there on anything they can get their hands on legal or illegal My Philosophy is this when I train people I tell them. We're going to wait until you put your first 15 to 20 pounds of muscle on before we touch anything more than essential amino acids during the workout. Okay, look if you're going to spend dollar one flood your body with essential aminos during training.

[00:14:38] You can't go wrong with that. Why am I having them, you know first gained 10 to 20 pounds well before using something like creatine. Creatine volumizes your muscle tissue. Okay amongst other things but it causes the muscle cell to hold more water. Obviously, the more muscle cells you [00:15:00] have or the larger.

[00:15:01] They are the more water. It's going to be able to hold in the bigger the anabolic response.

[00:15:07] Carl Lanore: [00:15:07] You got a big old you got a bigger bucket.

[00:15:10] Coach Rob Regish: [00:15:10] Yeah,

[00:15:10] Carl Lanore: [00:15:10] exactly.

[00:15:11] Coach Rob Regish: [00:15:11] And that's a great. That's a great analogy. Yeah, now at that point once you put let's say 20 pounds on and most of it muscle down. You can look into things like if you want to use creatine or you want to use beta alanine or you know, maybe an intelligently designed pre-workout not something that's gonna you know, give you the shakes and make you all crazy.

[00:15:33] All of those supplements have research showing that they can help you gain muscle provided your on any reasonable. Progressive overload routine where XD comes into play frankly is later. It's later down the line. Okay after you've had exposure to more advanced training methods for the longest time.

[00:15:56] I have seen people usually in a caloric deficit. [00:16:00] Add a quality activists are on product just take X number of milligrams a day with their own training and they get really really good results. Having said that I am not satisfied that we are using the optimal training protocol to insert an adaptogen like XD stero in the near future.

[00:16:24] As in next month, I'm going to be debuting a new simplified training show specifically for use with products like activists are oh I have tested the protocol. I can report to you it pretty much makes success with a quality product a no-brainer. It is complete dummy proof you follow it. You're going to get great gains and as an added bonus.

[00:16:51] I expect it to cut people's at least their own use in half. That's a pretty

[00:16:59] Carl Lanore: [00:16:59] impressive.

[00:17:00] [00:17:00] Coach Rob Regish: [00:17:00] That's pretty yeah. Yeah. So that's specific protocol. I'll be rolling out to subscribers next month and the blueprint bullet. Here's the bottom line most people. Early on in their training are going to be better served to use things like essential amino acids creatine beta-alanine a pre-workout, you know, as long as you're training and what I would call a pretty conventional fashion, you should have some results with that with what's coming though.

[00:17:28] I fully expect the protocol. It is going to make people's head spin given the dramatic and consistent results it produces and let me say this. I tested it without practice their own. Obviously. I had a i farmed it out to a number of people who did it first without actually steroid and then did it with at least are on the difference with and without is dramatic and I wouldn't be publishing this if that was not the case.

[00:17:59] [00:18:00] So the results are seeing in my life that I'm seeing are that profound so I hope it helps very cool.

[00:18:06] Carl Lanore: [00:18:06] Mike Flaherty says I saw the show where you held up a bottle of Thrive. Thank you for that. By the way, I don't promote my own product. Somebody says to me that they said why don't you have a promote Thrive?

[00:18:16] I don't know. I feel bad. I get people pay me to be sponsors. I don't want to be like, oh, it's my show. I'm gonna just you

[00:18:23] Coach Rob Regish: [00:18:23] know, we're the worst sales be I know

[00:18:25] Carl Lanore: [00:18:25] I now have a horrible salesperson. It's nice to know you actually use what you recommend. You used to recommend Mass Pro way and Ultra peptide 2.0 though, and that's what I use.

[00:18:35] Am I shortchanging myself?

[00:18:38] Coach Rob Regish: [00:18:38] Yeah. You know for years I came on here and I said math Pro way and Ultra peptide probably the two best proteins you can buy

[00:18:48] Carl Lanore: [00:18:48] and Ultra peptide had the most amazing flavors because I used to bottle.

[00:18:51] Coach Rob Regish: [00:18:51] Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I remember and listen. They are still quality products.

[00:18:59] You can [00:19:00] still make gains with those the fact of the matter though is that thrive is a superior product. And in fact when you add it all up it is a much better by. So whey protein right took the industry by storm and the early 90s. I think it was 1992. I certainly use my fair share via ProForm IST research and Designer Protein from next nutrition.

[00:19:24] If you remember those two a lot of people claim to be first with way, but from what I've read you Shane really was as more and more research was done on it though. It became clear that yeah, you know ways. But it washes out fast too. So after about the 90 minute Mark ways of Minos are in and out of the system and not doing you any good Ultra peptide 2.0 improve matters.

[00:19:51] Okay, as that was a way in the Casey next and there's research showing that that is better for muscle growth than straightway [00:20:00] thrive in my opinion though. Trump's both of them given. Did to is awake has seen mix but it adds a strong shot of essential amino acids

[00:20:14] Carl Lanore: [00:20:14] colossal

[00:20:15] Coach Rob Regish: [00:20:15] colostrum vitamin D is essential fatty acids

[00:20:19] Carl Lanore: [00:20:19] vitamin A vitamin A.

[00:20:21] So vitamin A works on the same receptors that actually works on the retinoid X receptor. Yeah, so, you know and and you need that. So the you need real vitamin A. Retinol in order to allow stem cells to differentiate or they can't differentiate.

[00:20:41] Coach Rob Regish: [00:20:41] So yeah, and and

[00:20:43] Carl Lanore: [00:20:43] I biotics probiotics especially this Widow as we age before so it becomes in short supply Joe greens, but on the show that and several times said you up regulate bifid.

[00:20:53] Oh you'll age better.

[00:20:55] Coach Rob Regish: [00:20:55] Yeah, and so, you know these things they might sound like little things to [00:21:00] do. Anyway,

[00:21:00] Carl Lanore: [00:21:00] I got as long as I'm doing. No artificial sweeteners. It's sweetened with Glycine and Stevia.

[00:21:07] Coach Rob Regish: [00:21:07] Yes,

[00:21:07] Carl Lanore: [00:21:07] and the No No No anti-caking agents. No gums or thickening agents. I mean, you know what?

[00:21:15] Everybody tells me no matter who they are. Is they don't get bloated from it? Like they do they don't get a stuffy nose from it. Like they do with their other products that if they don't even feel it in their stomach when they drink it. Yeah, because there's no there's no there's no gum in it.

[00:21:29] There's nothing gummy in it. It actually

[00:21:32] Coach Rob Regish: [00:21:32] has a settling effect on my stomach. A lot of people made it all does and

[00:21:37] Carl Lanore: [00:21:37] it has and it has enzymes in it to help you digest. So if you have digestion issues, don't worry about it. It's bringing its own its own Machinery with it to help it be digested

[00:21:49] Coach Rob Regish: [00:21:49] and if I'm not mistaken, there's research showing that.

[00:21:54] Those what is it probiotics help liberate more of the amino acids from the [00:22:00] intact

[00:22:00] Carl Lanore: [00:22:00] so nice and you know what? I look like a genius don't I but I'm not I just said to myself. What is the only thing? Made by nature to be food for humans. And the only thing is breast milk everything else. We have experimented and adapted.

[00:22:19] We ate that if it didn't kill us all we may eat it again over Millennia that we figured out what we could eat what we couldn't the only thing that was designed to give us everything we needed to sustain life and grow. Was human breast milk and let's not forget. There's Recent research that now shows because of the findings on fossil teeth that women breastfed children to between six and eight years of life not like today three months to a year.

[00:22:50] Like I got to go back to work six to eight years of life. So this idea that only babies drink milk not from an evolutionary perspective in humans six to eight years [00:23:00] isn't a baby anymore. So I just looked at what you what nature did to create breast milk and said, oh I'm going to take these selected components and put them in Thrive and I look like a genius, but I'm not its mother.

[00:23:13] I'm

[00:23:13] Coach Rob Regish: [00:23:13] glad you did it. It shocks me that nobody I guess did it before because it's such a common sense thing. When you think about it, you know,

[00:23:20] Carl Lanore: [00:23:20] it's expensive to do you know right now you can get a three pound jug of Thrive for 5995 including shipping inside the United States. And a lot of people look at that and think wow, man, that's $10 a pound or $20 $20 a pound.

[00:23:33] That's a lot of money know when you look at the label and compare it to the label of the stuff. You're paying 11 12 15 dollars a pound for all of a sudden you go. Oh, wow, this there's a thousand percent more stuff in Thrive than there is in this product here. This is the product. That's too expensive.

[00:23:48] Coach Rob Regish: [00:23:48] Yeah, it's crazy. That would be my next point. It is a tremendous by that. I love the vanilla and I don't like many vanilla. The only downside I think is it just [00:24:00] comes in vanilla, but there's a solution to all your problems

[00:24:03] Carl Lanore: [00:24:03] go powder

[00:24:04] Coach Rob Regish: [00:24:04] cocoa, you know, it's like I think Hershey's makes a special dark it is laced with antioxidants polyphenols and some and something that's getting a lot of play on the boards these days which is epicatechin.

[00:24:19] Carl Lanore: [00:24:19] What seemed to build muscle right that's the saying now?

[00:24:22] Coach Rob Regish: [00:24:22] Yeah, I mean you're gonna glucose disposal is more efficient nitric oxide releases cardiac function it goes on and on and on so, you know, you can do that to shake it up. Here's the bottom line. Thrive really is the heavyweight champion of the protein category.

[00:24:42] Just that's just how it is. Not only that the three pounder is you pointed out is an absolute steal that includes shipping to

[00:24:51] Carl Lanore: [00:24:51] yeah in the United States anywhere in the United States and actually so I have customers in Canada now and we just add twelve dollars u.s. If you [00:25:00] buy a case, which is for jugs.

[00:25:02] We had twelve dollars us and we ship it to Canada for.

[00:25:05] Coach Rob Regish: [00:25:05] Wow. Yeah, I mean you can't beat that deal.

[00:25:08] Carl Lanore: [00:25:08] Hey, I'm going to block your face because Darcy Clark wrote something. He says I've been in the supplement and Health Fitness industry for 22 years and have never seen a protein supplement formula formula as intent formulated as intelligently that has been considered that's considered every aspect of protein metabolism and immune response.

[00:25:26] Thrive is some seriously healthy protein higher levels of alpha lacked albumin, right and that's why we. Colostrum in it is rare to find in other protein powders. And that's why we say compare we say look look at the label of Thrive look at your current protein powder and compare and if hours wins then buy a jug and use the coupon code compare.

[00:25:53] And you get 5995 including shipping? Yeah,

[00:25:56] Coach Rob Regish: [00:25:56] I mean, he's absolutely right it is as good as what I'm [00:26:00] saying. I'm not saying it because your product it is the best period Kirkham or let

[00:26:05] Carl Lanore: [00:26:05] he points out something very important. It's not the special dark. This stuff is Dutch tweet. That means is that never heated don't you ever needed?

[00:26:15] Yeah, he's right frustrate cocoa that retains most antioxidants. We did the show. On Dutch Chocolate three or four years ago about the benefits of Dutch Chocolate. But yeah, thank you for pointing that out Kirk.

[00:26:28] Coach Rob Regish: [00:26:28] Shelton

[00:26:29] Carl Lanore: [00:26:29] so why don't we go ahead and take a break when we come back. We have a question from Alan buescher butcher buescher.

[00:26:35] Hope I'm pronouncing it. Right and we will talk more stay tuned. You look listening to the blueprint power our brought to you by coach Rob register.com. If you go to Coach Rob register.com today, I can guarantee you that you'll not only be the smartest kid at your gym, but you'll probably be the strongest really fast stay tuned.

[00:26:52] We'll be right back. Hey, welcome back. So the next question comes from Alan future. [00:27:00] Bo you CH ER maybe it's

[00:27:01] Coach Rob Regish: [00:27:01] who share

[00:27:03] Carl Lanore: [00:27:03] I've noticed you don't mention X Factor much. What's your opinion of it? And does it really work?

[00:27:09] Coach Rob Regish: [00:27:09] Yeah, you know when I wrote the blueprint racket way back in 2009 got a decade ago.

[00:27:18] I gave her academic acid, which is the active ingredient next Doctor up thumbs down. And actually it called William Llewellyn a scammer. three years later when. I and others had some more practical experience with the product and some studies were published. I issued him an apology because. while I don't think it's the most anabolic thing in the world.

[00:27:48] I don't think he's trying to scam anybody here either. It was also very Innovative for the time. Somebody was coming out with right and inflammatory [00:28:00] product. That was actually inflammatory. So the Moa here involves, you know arachidonic acid increasing the inflammatory response from training that you normally get from training resulting because of Prost again, excuse me, prostaglandins.

[00:28:18] Yeah release favorable alterations in muscle mass. So. I was poking around looking for studies on it, and I found one in 2018. That reviewed a number of studies and came to this conclusion.

[00:28:38] For for so weeks four to eight weeks. I think it was of arachidonic acid in trained men did not alter muscle protein synthesis occur. Anabolic signaling response to resistance training. However, 48 hours after exercise. Men that were supplemented with [00:29:00] arachidonic acid showed a greater change in the trend towards more satellite cells, right, which is Big because especially in advance trainees.

[00:29:13] That's how muscle is going to grow. They further stated that chronic arachidonic acid supplementation. Does not appear to regulate the antibiotic response to resistance training, but may argument augment rather muscle adaptation in the days following recovery the days following training other study showed a peak power output or increased Peak power 7.1 percent and average power 3.6 percent on the Wingate test.

[00:29:47] But failed to positively influence muscle mass or measures of power such as the bench press and the leg press so I would tell you taken together [00:30:00] in my mind. I don't think there's a clear cut muscle gain or fat loss benefit that I can see I suspect any muscle gain from arachidonic Acid manifests in the much longer term.

[00:30:14] Most of these studies were for a 12-week something like that. In other words. They were done over a limited duration of time. I do think there's value in increasing levels of what was termed ribosomal translation. Damn satellite cells the issue though. Is this the that main benefit of more satellite cells can be accomplished much cheaper by using creatine write something most people are already using so, you know, look some people do well on if that's You by all means keep using it.

[00:30:52] You should know. However, if you have any underlying inflammatory conditions like. Arthritis or tendonitis, [00:31:00] you would probably best steer clear clear of it. Well, and

[00:31:04] Carl Lanore: [00:31:04] I would I would submit any autoimmunity because that is an inflammatory Clarity because remember when whenever I say this all the time and I know I do but it's because I want you to think this way when we use the word inflammation.

[00:31:18] We're really talking about the army of the immune. Inflict, the empty inflammatory response is deploying the army of the immune system. So anything that up regulates inflammation means it's increasing the potential harmful immune responses that you're already suffering with.

[00:31:37] Coach Rob Regish: [00:31:37] Yeah. Yeah, I mean it's and and let's face it if information is going on there.

[00:31:45] It's going on in other places like your arteries. Blood vessels and arteries and I think for short durations it might help people, but in other cases, it's you best steer clear of it.

[00:32:00] [00:32:00] Carl Lanore: [00:32:00] Yeah, it's interesting very very interesting turning on inflammation is important but turning it back off again is also very important.

[00:32:09] The resolution of inflammation is where recovery happens.

[00:32:13] Coach Rob Regish: [00:32:13] So, yes,

[00:32:15] Carl Lanore: [00:32:15] so Hank Kozlowski says on fish oil. Do I really need to be taking this stuff? If so, how much and what can I expect and how soon and at the end of this discussion? I want to share a supplement from metagenic with you but good.

[00:32:30] Coach Rob Regish: [00:32:30] Yeah. So so the short answer to this question I think is yes. I mean, especially given all its benefits. You need to be getting fish oil. I would say on a regular basis either. Through fish oil capsules or fish or fit people forget man. And by the way with that fish comes a lot of high quality protein

[00:32:52] Carl Lanore: [00:32:52] and and no fish oil burps people say, oh I get the bourbon fish right when you eat a big piece of salmon, you don't burp it up,

[00:32:59] Coach Rob Regish: [00:32:59] right

[00:33:00] [00:33:00] Carl Lanore: [00:33:00] the Magic The Magic

[00:33:01] Coach Rob Regish: [00:33:01] so so to just to illustrate.

[00:33:05] The profoundness of why you should be using fish oil you can Google fish oil plus the name of virtually any disease and usually find a study supporting fish oils going to help it. It's an uncanny thing and you can't say that for just about any other product beyond that fish oil certainly has applications in sport in the Sports Nutrition Community now years ago, this is really interesting years ago.

[00:33:32] I read where someone took the equivalent of 12 grams or more of fish oil per day and change nothing else about their diet training rest. They would see fat loss as a result. I figured that was complete bunk. I was wrong it takes about two to four weeks, but you bump your fish oil up to those levels and you're going to see your waistline come [00:34:00] down.

[00:34:00] It's an amazing thing as a top three. I would tell you essential amino acids creatine and fish oil right those things those three things are going to be at the top of the pyramid. So to speak Beyond fat loss. We talking about inflammation fish oil drives it Down Right noticeably and in about two to three weeks time.

[00:34:24] Just getting out of bed. If you're past the age of 30, you're going to feel better. It's One supplement where most people are missing the boat because they only take like one two, three fish oil capsules a day and in 3 grams of fish oil is about as effective in my opinion as 3 grams of essential amino acids today, right?

[00:34:46] I mean, it's better than nothing but you get those, you know, you have both up to 6 to 12 grams, and now you're talking they're going to make a big difference. I would say [00:35:00] upwards of 10 to 12. If you're using the capsules, frankly, if you're using that much the much better by is the fit our the fish oil liquids and they've come a long way with taste, right?

[00:35:13] There's an orange flavored one. That's really good and a lemon flavored one. I forget the brand names, but they're real

[00:35:20] Carl Lanore: [00:35:20] thin in the bottle.

[00:35:22] Coach Rob Regish: [00:35:22] Yeah might be yeah,

[00:35:23] Carl Lanore: [00:35:23] I use their cod liver oil Darcy clock makes a good point to the burps are from the fish oils already. Rancid if you burping it up, yep, and while a good pharmaceutical grade of triglyceride bound is the best because that's the one that gives you the best results that you want, but it could still cause the burps if it wasn't refrigerated the way it travels and the way it's stored.

[00:35:49] It really makes a big difference. So if you're getting the burps from your fish oil, it's because somewhere along the line it got really hot. That's really the case. Yeah.

[00:36:00] [00:36:00] Coach Rob Regish: [00:36:00] Yeah, and that is that's a big deterrent for a lot of people but you know, it is what it is. I think personally it's biggest contributing Health Factor.

[00:36:11] In the general population is the way it works against Syndrome X, you know, it's characterized obviously by obesity insulin resistance, etc, etc. Fish oil certainly helps with those things and because Syndrome X is exploding in the general population. It is going to drink if the deficit and other things don't track this country down the cost of health care for the Aging population will.

[00:36:41] The fastest growing part of the population of the United States is people 85 and older think about that in the health conditions that they have this stuff is part of the solution. So get out of it today stay on it and reap the benefits.

[00:36:56] Carl Lanore: [00:36:56] So let me tell you about a product that you're interested in and I'm going to get you a bottle of.

[00:37:00] [00:37:00] Coach Rob Regish: [00:37:00] So you can change it.

[00:37:02] Carl Lanore: [00:37:02] So metagenic is a company that only sells through doctors offices. They are supplement company, but they are supplement company that sees themselves more like a pharmaceutical company every product. They sell they have clinical trials on with humans something that you and I have always said when is the supplement industry going to start doing these kind of things?

[00:37:20] Well metagenic. Does these kind of things metagenic has. I can't even go into how many different products that have every single product. I have has human IRB registered clinical trials on that. It does what it claims to do. Think about that for a second, but you can only get it to doctors offices and it tends to be a little bit more expensive than the stuff you're going to buy a GNC a vitamin shop.

[00:37:45] They have a product that was just revised again called SPM active. The think the magic of fish oil from the recovery standpoint is it has components in it that [00:38:00] resolve inflammation. They don't suppress inflammation like an NSAID. So inflammation is a process NSAIDs. So inflammation is a process goes from goes from 1 to 10.

[00:38:13] The goal is to take it from one the initial insult to the tissue and get it to 10 the tissue his heel. NSAIDs and things that suppress inflammation make it get stuck at three or four it and you never resolved it. SPM actives are just the components found in fish oil that are responsible for the resolution of inflammation that s PM stands for specific.

[00:38:39] Pro resolving mediators, so it's super concentrated taking to SPM actives is probably equivalent to taking 10 to 15 grams of a high quality fish oil capsule, but without all the other stuff just the pro resolving. Mediators a study was just published by metagenic [00:39:00] showing better Muscle Recovery and better protein synthetic response to athletes who were taking SPM active.

[00:39:08] I'll get the study from a Lisa and I'm going to get you rob register a bottle of this stuff. You just take two of them post workout. That's. It's all you take and no fish oil burp because their control on delivery from where it leaves to wear goes. It's refrigerated the whole way never has an opportunity to get warm.

[00:39:28] I

[00:39:32] don't know my toe mail. That's something else. I don't want to talk about that meta Genex. Yes. We sell metagenic Sin our Clinic Darcy said very very quite high quality stuff. Yeah. And everything they do has research done on humans. It's not like they they look at a research study done over here and then they quote it and say buy my product they say this product was used in the study.

[00:39:55] And this is what happened to the humans that used it but as p.m. Actives very very [00:40:00] very good stuff very good stuff. Well, I'll

[00:40:01] Coach Rob Regish: [00:40:01] get

[00:40:01] Carl Lanore: [00:40:01] to

[00:40:02] Coach Rob Regish: [00:40:02] look forward to thank you for thinking of me too.

[00:40:04] Carl Lanore: [00:40:04] Yeah II think you'll like it. Mike. Berube says do supplements really work, or should I go to the dark side? If they do work how well do they work versus drugs?

[00:40:16] I love this game. Nothing's ever going to be like a 500 milligrams of testosterone a week. Nothing

[00:40:22] Coach Rob Regish: [00:40:22] right but some but having said that just supplements work. The honest answer that question is yes. So I mean there's yeah right some of whom there is little question based on the real world results and and the studies on such.

[00:40:39] That things like creatine fish oil beta alanine ephedrine kratom excetera. They all work to varying degrees and you know only someone only a fool would suggest otherwise now when it comes to drugs. They obviously work to on that score. [00:41:00] We probably all agree. I think the problem as you alluded to Carl is that nothing's going to work by 500 milligrams of week test to put on muscle.

[00:41:11] So so, you know, the devil is in the definition. What are we all mean by work? Most people would say hey you don't not only do drugs work. There are the only thing that I need and and 4.4 performance enhancement drugs absolutely do work. Otherwise athlete when take them supplements work to just not to the same degree now, I'll give you an example creatine might put 10 10 pounds of muscle on you and make you a little stronger.

[00:41:42] No, stay on test D ball and decade long enough. However, and if you're doing everything else, right, you might add 20 pounds of muscle to your frame plus increase the density of said muscle, but drug, here's my thing drugs do not work [00:42:00] to the degree that most people think

[00:42:03] Carl Lanore: [00:42:03] that you still have to train hard Eat Right sleep right and everything else.

[00:42:07] Coach Rob Regish: [00:42:07] Yeah, I mean most people think that if they can on tests and d-ball or deck and evil they're going to be on easy street. They're going to explode with muscle and it's going to be simple as pie the facts speak to something different than them. You still need to train you still need to diet. You still need to recover.

[00:42:26] Well, you still need to sleep. There is no free lunch. And if I were most. I would take a good hard. Look at my training diet rest before I would look at my drug use and say boom. That's the answer to my problems. Right? That's just the truth of how things are so nail yourself to the fundamentals and keep nailing your yourself to them for however long it takes to see progress that last bit.

[00:42:56] By the way about knowing how to make [00:43:00] gains. Without drugs trait just with training and diet that is not an option. It is mandatory. Why because yes, drugs will amplify gains. Let's say the double them, you know, guess what? If you don't know how to make games without drugs you're starting at zero now add the drugs 2 times 0 is still 0.

[00:43:26] Take that to heart. There is a kid. I knew in college. He was on a man's role. I know for a fact it was good stuff because the rest of his buddies got huge off it and it came from the same place when I finally quiz them about everything that he was doing. It turned out he got most of his nutrition from today from microwave popcorn.

[00:43:48] I am not kidding. This kid came up to me. So I don't understand why I'm not gonna die till I get bad stuff. We went over his training went over his rest, and I said tell me about your eating [00:44:00] you go. Oh, he says, well, I'm not on the meal plan anymore. I love microwave popcorn. I eat a lot of it, you know, you can't make it up

[00:44:11] Carl Lanore: [00:44:11] that is funny.

[00:44:12] Coach Rob Regish: [00:44:12] You can't make it up. So so do drugs work. Yes. Do they work to the degree that the general public thinks? No, they don't I get at least I haven't seen it. I don't know how things are in your gym. But you know just because you get on 600-800 of a gram of test a week does not mean you're on easy street if you screw up.

[00:44:36] All you'll do is get puffy and that's right, right. Yeah,

[00:44:40] Carl Lanore: [00:44:40] you get puff company acne and lose all your hair

[00:44:44] Coach Rob Regish: [00:44:44] and you'll shut down your natural production, which will leave you in a worse place than before you started the drugs or go. My point about knowing how to make gains without them two times zero is still zero.

[00:45:00] [00:45:00] Carl Lanore: [00:45:00] So before we take our last break and come back for the blueprint tip of the day. I want to talk about a couple things. You know, it's funny how things in life intersect at least for those of us who pay attention. We probably noticed this more often than the average person. So I did a show last month with a dr.

[00:45:18] Platt about adrenal dominance and he sent me a tube. 5% progesterone cream told me to rub it on my arms at night before going to sleep and I sleep deeper and better. I did not notice that I was sleeping deeper and better but I continue to use it up until night before last. And I've also been noticing some other things like I wake up in the morning and I'm kind of groggy I feel a little bit off balance.

[00:45:48] Not sure why. and. And so I've also noticed that the last few times Eliza and I tried to make love. Mr. Happy wasn't [00:46:00] really at attention,

[00:46:02] Coach Rob Regish: [00:46:02] you

[00:46:02] Carl Lanore: [00:46:02] know, he was he was there but it was looked like he didn't really want to be there and I also noticed that my nocturnal erections. They weren't real stiff.

[00:46:14] Like they usually are they were also kind of like, mr. Happy when I wanted him to play it kind of. Leaning to the side a little bit. I'm like what the f is going on here, right. So I start thinking about well, what if I change? Okay. Well, you know, I've been doing this progesterone cream. So first thing I decide to cut out yesterday was the progesterone cream.

[00:46:37] I slept last night just as good as I always do without the cream.

[00:46:40] Coach Rob Regish: [00:46:40] Yep, and

[00:46:41] Carl Lanore: [00:46:41] that well with the cream and so it's going to take a few days for this to kind of work its way out, but I started to think about. Dopamine. So the first thing I do is I do dopamine deficient brain on NIH and I pull up some studies and I start reading and I'm like, oh man, this is really interesting.

[00:46:59] I [00:47:00] noticed that my muscles have been aching lately and it's not The Good Egg like when I trained they don't a good they ate like Uh, something's wrong.

[00:47:09] Coach Rob Regish: [00:47:09] Yeah,

[00:47:10] Carl Lanore: [00:47:10] one of the one of the one just one of the symptoms of low brain. Is that another symptom is being off balance? Another symptom is not sleeping great, which my sleep has gotten really bad lately.

[00:47:23] Hmm. So I'm thinking well, what's the relation between dopamine and and and progesterone? There is a relationship. So progesterone during fetal development increases the number of dopamine receptors in the brain. Then when you flip that high levels of progesterone impede libido. And in female rats and that's because [00:48:00] an obviously male rats too and that's because the dope the progesterone receptor must be vacant in order for dopamine to dock in it and turn on your desire to have sex.

[00:48:15] Like oh wow, so I've been flooding my body with. With progesterone and even though progesterone has a relatively short half-life like Eliza said Mia but progesterone has a short half-life its Affinity to the receptor could last up to five days.

[00:48:31] Coach Rob Regish: [00:48:31] Whoa,

[00:48:33] Carl Lanore: [00:48:33] so over the course of next week. I predict things to start to change now that I've stopped using the progesterone and now.

[00:48:42] Connect some other dots right? I've been using caffeine in its and I'm thinking why do I need caffeine so much well, When I look back at familial traits and illnesses, I start to realize that maybe just maybe my body as it ages [00:49:00] doesn't Harvest enough tyrosine from protein. I eat to keep dopamine levels high.

[00:49:06] So I turned to things like that speed you up like a phoenix. Okay, so I've stopped taking the progesterone obviously never going to take progesterone cream again and backed and back in the day. Dr. Crystal said I never ever prescribed progesterone to men never ever ever. I'd rather give them HCG and let their body make their own progesterone then give them a progesterone cream turns out he

[00:49:29] Coach Rob Regish: [00:49:29] might can I ask how much you were taking

[00:49:32] Carl Lanore: [00:49:32] I was taking one pump, which is 5% So that was.

[00:49:40] 50 milligrams of five milligrams a hundred percent would have been a hundred milligrams Ted. I'm sorry 10% would have been a hundred fifty milligrams was being rubbed on my arm in an advanced transdermal delivery system. So let's say I was probably getting 15 to 20 milligrams and night transdermally, that's a [00:50:00] lot.

[00:50:00] That's a lot. And so. I've decided that I'm going to do a new experiment. I started looking at research where dopamine and we're progesterone intersect and I started reading some interesting studies about tyrosine. So after my show today, I'm going to Vitamin Shoppe to pick up a large bottle of tyrosine and I'm going to start taking tyrosine two times a day.

[00:50:31] I'm going to take some fairly excessive doses the doses that were used in the study with older adults, which I have to be honest. I am now were 10 milligrams of kilogram. I'm sorry, a hundred milligrams of kilograms. That's 10 grams. I'm not going to take 10 grams, but it start off with five two and a half grams twice a day and obviously not use my progesterone cream any longer and I will.

[00:50:58] See what happens over the next [00:51:00] couple weeks in my need for caffeine. I predict is going to go away completely because caffeine was basically turning onto catecholamine signaling pathway that was increasing dopamine activity like cocaine and that's why I think I'm and see caffeine uses is a negative.

[00:51:21] It's like a endless loop because. The more caffeine you use the more dopamine you burn up the more dopamine you burn up the more caffeine you need. So these next couple weeks are going to be a very interesting experiment that I will share on blueprint Power hours each week because progesterone no bueno For Me Maybe for other people.

[00:51:47] It's. We some people say, oh it turns on my libido you probably use a lot less than I was and then again you are different than I am see dark-skinned people. Have [00:52:00] higher levels of brain dopamine. This is a fact been proven in science African American people have much higher levels of brain dopamine than fair skin Nordic people.

[00:52:10] And I'm 14% Northern African. So I am a dopamine dominant person. I love dopamine and not sleeping. Well depletes dopamine excessive use of caffeine depletes dopamine and so it's a vicious cycle for me. So I really believe that tyrosine is going to be an important thing for me for the rest of my life.

[00:52:32] Also Joel greens going to come on and talk about. Changes in the gut that actually caused less harvesting of tyrosine from your diet that could lead to dopamine deficiency that leads to cognitive cognition issues muscle and joint pain. I mean listen dopamine may actually be the reason for my peripheral neuropathy because I found two good studies that show changes in [00:53:00] peripheral blood flow.

[00:53:01] And when they block dopamine through the small blood vessel shrink up and they become more resistant to blood. Wow. I mean

[00:53:09] Coach Rob Regish: [00:53:09] that's very interesting very,

[00:53:11] Carl Lanore: [00:53:11] I mean, it's really it's really interesting. It's going to be an interesting discussion in the next couple weeks. I can promise you. Yep. Look at this Jeff Clifton a loyal listener.

[00:53:19] He says I've been taking terracing 500 milligrams one to two times a day most studies. I found with two grams to three times a day. Definitely makes a difference. Yes, and Peña is another one a lot of people take PE a with tyrosine, but I'm not going to take PE a phenyl alanine. That's what I asked you before dropped.

[00:53:38] But the study that I have Jeff gave bolus dose is too young and old people and then looked at serum levels of dopamine. And the people that will getting 10 grams a day their brain started working like they were young again. Now these were much older people than me, but I'm going to I'm going to try I'm probably going to try 5 grams [00:54:00] a day broken up into doses kind of like what you're saying right now.

[00:54:05] Yep, he's using two to three grams to grams twice a day three times a day. That's kind of like where I'll be Jeff. Do you take it at night? This is an interesting thing. So dopamine deficiency impairs sleep. It's not that I don't like phenyl alanine. I don't I just don't want to start using it right now being allowed at the reason phenyl alanine doesn't make me feel good.

[00:54:29] And the reason it may not make me feel good as because I'm dopamine depleted when I start to re-establish dopamine levels in my brain. I think a lot of things that don't make me feel good. Well, I actually start to make me feel good Jeff. We're going to take a break. When we come back, if you could please tell me if you take your your tyrosine before bed also stay tuned.

[00:54:50] We'll be right back with more superhuman radio. This is the blueprint our let me get the music rolling bam. The Jeff Clifton says he only takes it [00:55:00] during the day

[00:55:01] Coach Rob Regish: [00:55:01] interesting.

[00:55:02] Carl Lanore: [00:55:02] I may actually experiment with a very low dose like just 500 milligrams before bedtime. Because of something that happened to me a few years ago.

[00:55:09] I have a funny feeling that I'm going to sleep a lot better. Okay, Rob. What is the blueprint tip of the day

[00:55:14] Coach Rob Regish: [00:55:14] tip of the day is you are now on the front lines. So, you know, these mass shootings that we keep having. Yep, right there have been two. I think just recently it gave me pause to think for a moment.

[00:55:32] About how the world changed right so when terrorists hijacked airliners and they flew them into buildings on 9/11 the world changed its nobody disputes that in an instant it did change but perhaps not in the way that it's being spun in the media terrorists, right? They have brought the war to a place that has never been right on our doorstep and I'm talking about civilians.

[00:55:59] [00:56:00] Right not people in the military people like you and me so some time ago you were God. I think I don't know how many years ago now the Boston Marathon right when

[00:56:13] Carl Lanore: [00:56:13] yeah, they planted the bombs. Yeah,

[00:56:15] Coach Rob Regish: [00:56:15] right, they planted the bomb and so they took it on themselves to once again attack innocent unarmed civilians.

[00:56:23] And and you know furthermore seemingly random people have been carjacked shot dead and otherwise terrorized. I mean look at the news, you know, if it's not foreign terrorist, its domestic terrorism more importantly. These attacks are designed. To Cripple of people. I think psychologically right to instill fear in most people.

[00:56:48] There's going to be more to come unfortunately. You don't nobody disputes that either it's going to keep happening just know this the next time you gather at a sporting event at [00:57:00] a shopping mall in the church or any other public or even private place, you know know this

[00:57:05] Carl Lanore: [00:57:05] especially a gun-free zone.

[00:57:08] Yeah, actually, I'm free zone.

[00:57:10] Coach Rob Regish: [00:57:10] Right. These are the bad guys of the only ones

[00:57:13] Carl Lanore: [00:57:13] that's shooting fish in a barrel.

[00:57:16] Coach Rob Regish: [00:57:16] Yeah, it's crazy, but they want to do so. You know, I as I thought about it in that Boston man, huh? I don't know how closely you all follow that but there were hundreds. If not thousands of FBI National Guardsmen right down to the local police.

[00:57:34] They were swarming the city looking for these two one of them died in I guess he got run over twice by a police vehicle, but. Yo, all these people in law enforcement that came equipped with all the bells and whistles right night vision equipment military vehicles high-powered assault rifles. There was a helicopter.

[00:57:57] That was equipped with a forward looking infrared [00:58:00] what's called a Fleer and military terms yet in the end who ultimately confronted and led to the capture of that one suspect that was still on the run in that case who

[00:58:11] Carl Lanore: [00:58:11] homeowners where he was hiding their boat in their yard and their driveway.

[00:58:15] Coach Rob Regish: [00:58:15] Yeah, and you know by most accounts there was a Watertown Mass resident Dave henneberry who not only noticed blood on his boat then he had the testicular fortitude. To actually look inside of

[00:58:29] Carl Lanore: [00:58:29] it peek underneath the cover. I know.

[00:58:31] Coach Rob Regish: [00:58:31] Yeah, I mean think about this man that took guts everybody was under a quote-unquote shelter in place order.

[00:58:41] So stay in your homes and lock the doors. Don't come out this guy did and that took guts and the possibility of being confronted by someone who's desperate. Was very high, you know, if you think about how about the bombing itself many of the injured were carried? [00:59:00] By the strong to First Aid tests.

[00:59:03] Okay ambulances are other areas. There is no time for warm ups there no time to put a weight belt on or psych yourself up for that kind of test of life and death in an. All those people were called upon and challenge with enormous physical tasks under a lot of mental. Duress. My point is this in this new world that we live in physical Excellence is an optional.

[00:59:33] It's required and it did for damn sure important. The war is no longer overseas. Right

[00:59:40] Carl Lanore: [00:59:40] and it's ripe and it's not being fire. It's not being fought by the military so that you can rest at home. You must be prepared now.

[00:59:48] Coach Rob Regish: [00:59:48] Yeah, and these heroic actions that every normal everyday people. You know, they're predicated on [01:00:00] Superior mental physical and psychological qualities.

[01:00:03] And I would argue that you build all three in the gym. You're not just physically building your body up. It's much much more than that. And it's the reason I'm convinced why many people including me are addicted to it every week. We come here. We come to superhuman radio in an effort to improve ourselves.

[01:00:26] Physically. You saw a lot of that when the bombs went off. You saw that a 911 when you know, unarmed civilians aboard Flight 93 confronted hijackers with box cutters and you very well. They need it the next time you or your family get on a plane. You don't go to the mall or go to some ball game.

[01:00:54] Integrating what you learn here into your training results in the kind of strong that [01:01:00] could very well spell the difference between life and death for you and your loved ones and there's a special notes all those fathers and husbands out there. You have an obligation? to protect your wife and your kids.

[01:01:17] By any means necessary and I would argue that fundamentally weight training prepares you the best amongst, you know, all the other activities. I can think of Jiu-Jitsu notwithstanding finally know this now terrorists are counting on Americans to be passive in the face of the Gresham as a superhuman.

[01:01:44] You make damn sure. They find out the hard way they counted wrong. This is this is not a small deal if he isn't

[01:01:55] very

[01:01:55] Coach Rob Regish: [01:01:55] that

[01:01:55] Carl Lanore: [01:01:55] address. This is not a dress rehearsal. This is not real but what's happening to the [01:02:00] you know, it's funny. So November of 2001. I had to fly to Israel on business September October November 2 months after 911.

[01:02:13] I had a fly. I increased my life insurance for the trip, obviously and when I sat down on that plane, I flew a LOL. I took note of where that little green oxygen tank was in the overhead. compartment closest to me because I thought of something. Happens I'm going to grab that sucker and stuff swing it like a Louisville Slugger.

[01:02:43] Coach Rob Regish: [01:02:43] You bring up an excellent

[01:02:45] Carl Lanore: [01:02:45] II mean I you have to assess your surroundings be aware of your surroundings working what's close to you that you could use as a weapon just in case. Yep, that's what it's become too. That's what it's called a preacher

[01:02:56] Coach Rob Regish: [01:02:56] and right and and along those same [01:03:00] lines when you say assess the situation, you know, you step into a subway car and you notice some guy who looks like he's tweaking out on God knows what?

[01:03:10] And he's got a pen in his pocket. Guess what that pain is a pretty damn Lethal Weapon, you know, most people aren't thinking that way but you need to assess the situation. You need to be aware of everything that's going on around you and what probably most importantly what are you going to do if trouble kicks off because I can guarantee you.

[01:03:37] As someone that looks pretty physically robust. Bad guys have their eye on you first. Let's say you're in a plane, you know,

[01:03:47] Carl Lanore: [01:03:47] and you and you look like you can handle yourself. They just sized you up. Okay, I got to take that guy out first.

[01:03:53] Coach Rob Regish: [01:03:53] Yep. Exactly. Absolutely positively you got it. And the other thing I would tell you is this [01:04:00] trust your gut.

[01:04:02] Trust your gut instincts if you're in a situation and it doesn't feel right. No you first first thing you should do is try to get out of it, you know walk away from it. But if you can't avoid it, then you need to know what to do. And you also need this mindset if it's my time. It's my time, but God damn I'm not going down without a fight.

[01:04:25] That's

[01:04:25] Carl Lanore: [01:04:25] it as my mine. And since we're talking about this in the wake of these recent mass shootings, please don't be persuaded that the answer to this problem is to take guns away from legal. Law-abiding citizens, of course, it's not these mass killings will continue on the UK already knows that all these other countries that don't have guns.

[01:04:52] They use it did not not so murders with knives or going through the roof in the UK and we see what people are [01:05:00] doing with trucks and cars people who are hell-bent on killing people. I'm going to find a way to kill them. No Adam McVeigh used. To level that Federal Building we talked about domestic terrorist.

[01:05:15] So don't don't don't believe that look look the government can't get drugs off the street. They're not going to be able to get guns out of the bad guy's hands. The only people are going to take guns away from are the good guys who can actually stop something from happening. The thing that stops these is guns and good guys hands showing up quickly.

[01:05:35] So don't buy this nonsense that the answer is. Is the band Guns I'm all for better background check that if you have a psych analysis that says you have a mental illness. Yes, you shouldn't own a gun. I agree with that thousand percent take guns away from people of mental illnesses. Absolutely.

[01:05:54] Absolutely, but there are three they were actually more guns in this country. [01:06:00] Then there are people and and the people who want to take your guns away use that as a reason to take guns away, but the reality is they're showing that guns aren't the problem because if guns with a problem we would have mass shootings 10 a day with the fact that there are more guns than people in this country.

[01:06:20] Coach Rob Regish: [01:06:20] I would argue that psychiatric drugs are a much bigger cause damn garbage Bam

[01:06:25] Carl Lanore: [01:06:25] Bam Bam, but big Pharma is doing a great job of stepping to the left and let us fight this out. Yeah. Yeah ever all of these guys that even the guy that did the Texas remember back when we were kids the Texas book school has he was on his side.

[01:06:43] He was on one of the first sight drugs ever made.

[01:06:47] Coach Rob Regish: [01:06:47] That's the common denominator that I can see in all of these Mass Shooters, you know, it's not guns. It's mental illness combined with psychiatric.

[01:06:56] Carl Lanore: [01:06:56] In fact, in fact, you want to know what I'm for [01:07:00] and I'm a I'm an NRA member I've been for since I was a kid.

[01:07:03] I've been hunting and shooting gun since I was a kid, I think that if as soon as they give you a prescription for antidepressants, you should have to surrender your guns until you off that antidepressants. I'm all for that. That's great idea.

[01:07:19] Coach Rob Regish: [01:07:19] They do horrible things god-awful thing. They

[01:07:21] Carl Lanore: [01:07:21] make people kill themselves.

[01:07:23] If you're willing to commit suicide then you'll take people with you.

[01:07:27] Coach Rob Regish: [01:07:27] Yeah. A hundred percent agree with you.

[01:07:30] Carl Lanore: [01:07:30] So, you know, there are things there are definitely things we can do to make the country stronger and safer. But taking guns away from legal law-abiding reasonably, you know reasonable people is not the answer and has nothing to do with the Second Amendment.

[01:07:45] It's not going to solve the.

[01:07:48] Coach Rob Regish: [01:07:48] It's not a great. I agree.
