[00:00:00] [00:00:00] Carl Lanore: [00:00:00] welcome back to superhuman radio. Today is August 20th 2019. It's a Tuesday, which means we will have the blueprint Power Hour with Coach Rodriguez. Just a

[00:00:09] Coach Rob Regish: [00:00:09] minute.

[00:00:10] Carl Lanore: [00:00:10] Thanks to Sean concern Shield. So yesterday I said, I open every show saying hey, hey. Hey and I hated every time I say it I'm like God like why why am I saying that but you know, I get excited about being on the air.

[00:00:23] I'm jacked. I'm tan I'm high on caffeine Yes again. And Sean said I've been asking you for a year to start the show by saying the day and date because some day a hundred years from now people will find these shows and go holy crap. This guy was way ahead of the Curve. And I think he's right so I will start to show no longer by saying hey, hey.

[00:00:50] Hey. Like Steve Urkel but instead I will start the show by saying welcome to supremum radio and the date and day

[00:00:59] Coach Rob Regish: [00:00:59] for

[00:00:59] [00:01:00] Carl Lanore: [00:00:59] posterity and then I will say let me bring on my co-host

[00:01:05] Coach Rob Regish: [00:01:05] calling all blueprint Army fall in line. It's time for the blueprint Power Hour with Coach Rob reyga's on the Superhuman radio network

[00:01:19] Carl Lanore: [00:01:19] without Rob there. He is drinking his. Protein drink or what? Is that? Is that aperture ephedra you and I love you and I both Junkies you

[00:01:26] Coach Rob Regish: [00:01:26] realize that right? Yeah. I'm absolutely and we'll talk about that.

[00:01:29] Carl Lanore: [00:01:29] Yeah later in the show. We're gonna so, here's the new show layout. This is according to Sean concern Shield.

[00:01:35] He's out. He's actually the new producer of The Blueprint power. Sean is a guy that is really my friend. He's bailed me out in tough times and I only know him because he's actually listen to this show from show number one. I actually had them on a few years ago as my Super Fan my only super fan.

[00:01:55] But Sean said you should really just do one segment [00:02:00] questions one segment blueprint power tip of the day and then one segment. Will you guys banter about whatever is going on in your life? He thinks that that people would find that interesting and he's right. We do get a lot of comments when you and I just kind of go off the cuff

[00:02:12] Coach Rob Regish: [00:02:12] and

[00:02:13] Carl Lanore: [00:02:13] talk about stuff.

[00:02:13] So we'll try that today. So we're going to start off with the questions. Of course, how are you?

[00:02:19] Coach Rob Regish: [00:02:19] I am doing great. I want to encourage everybody if they haven't already to get on over to coach Rob register.com completely new layout much easier to navigate much easier to access free articles in order

[00:02:34] Carl Lanore: [00:02:34] content more content.

[00:02:35] If you can believe this there's more content there now

[00:02:39] Coach Rob Regish: [00:02:39] 200, you know, I finally tallied it up there just the blueprint bulletins alone. There are 81. And we also have much more competitive pricing on the kind of low medium high schedule and the feedback that I've received thus far. It is just five stars across the board.

[00:02:59] So [00:03:00] get on over there a lot of free information and more if you're interested. 

[00:03:05] Carl Lanore: [00:03:05] Yes, the website looks great. It's easy to navigate and we need to help coach. Rob show some love. So share links to his website. That's what I'm asking people to do share links to his website Jim long. He says I used to lift a lot but thinking about making the switch to long distance running.

[00:03:22] Given, I'm getting up there in my years 52 my daughter runs and sort of got me into it. So I'm wondering if you have any tips. Yes, don't long-distance run.

[00:03:34] Coach Rob Regish: [00:03:34] Yeah, exactly my first my first and most important tip. It was what you just said. That's tell me don't get into this now. I want you to really think about this because although we're laughing it can be a very serious mistake, especially.

[00:03:51] At his age, so it's not that there aren't any benefits to long distance running, but they pale they absolutely [00:04:00] pale to the benefits in comparison to resistance training long distance running miles and miles and miles is a low-intensity.  high volume long-duration event

[00:04:13] Carl Lanore: [00:04:13] high impact high impact.

[00:04:16] Coach Rob Regish: [00:04:16] Very high impact, which really if you look at it, it's the exact opposite of what resistance training requires of you.

[00:04:23] The problem here is that there's not much upside in it for you there really is for. You're going to lose muscle. Once the mileage gets up there. You will absolutely lose muscle you will lose strength along with that muscle. I've seen it time and time again, whether it's long distance biking or running it absolutely choose up muscle

[00:04:47] Carl Lanore: [00:04:47] coach.

[00:04:47] Can I ask you a question before we continue down this road? Yep, let's qualify what long distances I think that if you run jog walk for an hour. I don't think that's long distance. So we are [00:05:00] in agreement of that. Yes. Okay. So so we'll wait what we long distance running is where you go out and you run for 5 or 6 hours at a time right right back.

[00:05:07] Okay. Okay guys want to qualify that because there's nothing wrong with doing slow State cardio for an hour not nothing at all. Okay. Good. Take it away.

[00:05:16] Coach Rob Regish: [00:05:16] Very good point Thank you for clarifying that now. The other thing is this when you alluded to. Your joints are going to take a pounding, especially if you're kind of heavy to begin with I'm talking, you know, you're almost everybody if they run outside has to run on asphalt or concrete the I don't think you come up with them some of the worst activity for your joints.

[00:05:39] I think losing muscle and strength at age 52 is a very dangerous proposition because

[00:05:46] Carl Lanore: [00:05:46] you will want it back and it will be hard to regain. Yeah,

[00:05:50] Coach Rob Regish: [00:05:50] exactly. Exactly. You know, one of the interesting things about muscle fibers is you can look at them under a microscope. They will change in their [00:06:00] makeup.

[00:06:01] In response to whatever training that you're doing. So if you've been training with weights for 10, 15 20 years and you're primarily a fast twitch muscle dominant athlete when you start running after a certain amount of time and a certain amount of Miles those muscles cells will actually change from fast-twitch to slow-twitch fibers, okay?

[00:06:25] So I do not want you doing this long-distance running instead. I would encourage you to train hard in the gym. Like you always have been pursuing strength to make the most of things though, and I'm trying to think between ages 50 and. Get on the body weight train, you know and stay there for most of your movements.

[00:06:46] Now, you're 52. My usual recommendation is take your age and that is the percentage minimum of bodyweight stuff that you should be doing when it does come to cardio I much prefer. [00:07:00] High intensity interval training versus long distance and of course eating a reasonable diet to keep the fat off. Now this high intensity interval training.

[00:07:10] Please don't limit it just to spinning on the bike or on the treadmill, you know, that can be yes, it can be biking treadmill but sprinting. If you're not put on

[00:07:20] Carl Lanore: [00:07:20] but I take it slow because you don't so sprinting in the beginning is like a fast Jog and you gotta go slow when you're my age because you could Sprint and pull a hamstring or worse so go slow but absolutely would Rob is telling you is absolutely true start gently sprinting and gradually go faster and faster.

[00:07:42] That's the best high intensity workout.

[00:07:44] Coach Rob Regish: [00:07:44] And in fact when I say sprinting to your point to improve safety, I would much prefer either try sprinting up a hill or Sprint pushing a sled or pulling a sled. Okay. You can hit a heavy bag by God. [00:08:00] That's an incredibly taxing.

[00:08:01] Carl Lanore: [00:08:01] Now the high-intensity a doodoo fit that you do it for 1 minute on three minutes off like they use in was it three minutes on one minute off like they do in boxing

[00:08:09] Coach Rob Regish: [00:08:09] 309110 rounds Tire flips.

[00:08:13] Sledge-hammering with Tire medicine ball ballistic throws that's something that people have kind of forgot about you know, one of the things that I used to do when I have a house I take a barbell outside I go my backyard and man I would just toss that sucker to the sky but it hit the ground it right and then it could really walk over you do it again, you know saying I

[00:08:36] Carl Lanore: [00:08:36] don't know.

[00:08:36] Another thing is the lit fee Squad. The lit fee squat. This is you have to do this generally Outdoors. But so you take away 235 225 whatever is not your max weight and you don't you do ten or a dozen squats and he drop the bar and you sprint. You know 50 yards 100 yards walk back and do it again [00:09:00] those not only build amazing explosive power cardiovascular endurance, but they make your legs massive because your legs are starving for oxygen after you've done your squats and the effects on the size of your legs is just insane.

[00:09:18] Coach Rob Regish: [00:09:18] Yeah, and one of the things to you know, keep in mind as you master one of these activities and you might want to move to the next one when you become familiar with them or at least the you know movement patterns and have some muscle memory consider stacking, you know, a circuit of anywhere between two and five of those exercises gradually building your work capacity up and it's really I mean to me it's so much more effective than.

[00:09:47] You're running on the treadmill to know where it's a lot more fun too. So stick with the weight training prioritize the body weight stuff work with high intensity [00:10:00] interval training cardio, as long as you can get there are days that you're not going to be able to keep it up. And in that case, you know a long slow walk on the treadmill is fine.

[00:10:09] Give your body. And your mind a break, but the harder you work your high intensity interval cardio. The better you will find you are at the long-distance stuff. The reverse is never true.

[00:10:23] Carl Lanore: [00:10:23] And you know why that is because a chai tea HIIT or a chai tea tea tea, whatever you want to call. It actually increases the number of mitochondria in the muscle cell.

[00:10:35] So it increases your energy production. And the energy output changes the landscape of your body and that that sticks with you. I want to put up a question if you wouldn't mind. That's your somebody just asked they can't listen live. That's not what I wanted that jumped up. So Robert David, I know what he's asking but I'll let you answer.

[00:10:57] He says I love the show can't stay to watch but I'm listed a [00:11:00] listen after my question is regarding a supplement that Rob mentioned sometime but before. It's this is that sesame oil that you're talking about and he will listen later. So you're talking about sessemann, right?

[00:11:12] Coach Rob Regish: [00:11:12] Yes. It is specifically we're talking about the ligands in the product assessment came on on the scene.

[00:11:19] Forget the exact year but celeb Stone over a table on Labs really wrote about it. So, you know popularized it and what have you and if I'm not mistaken. He also have the first assessment product. That's right. The bottom line on sessemann tis. It is an excellent non-stimulant fat loss agent it also has a number of protective properties in the body and it is truly synergistic with fish oil allowing you to actually I think cut in half your dose of fish oil.

[00:11:54] I was very surprised when I got a bottle and I started using it I met no other changes to [00:12:00] my training my diet my rest. My wife shrunk and I'm like, wow, this is really amazing. I've never used a fat loss product. That isn't a stimulant that works right that give noticeable results. Right? And I guess to tease me Sean drunken ership texted me a picture of a big old bottle assessment that he he still had his and black box so to speak and.

[00:12:27] Listen, if you still got it, that's awesome. You can still find specimen the problem is that in the products that were on the market? There are at least a thousand milligrams per gel tab the most Caleb

[00:12:42] Carl Lanore: [00:12:42] stuff was a boot your spoon it out, right? It was like the teaspoonfuls.

[00:12:47] Coach Rob Regish: [00:12:47] Yeah. It's like a liquid, right?

[00:12:49] And so, you know, it's still out there. Unfortunately, it's very hard to find as a standalone. I think life extension might have in complex with fish oil and a few other [00:13:00] goodies. But listen if you've got it use it, it is a fantastic product. I only wish it was still on the market, you know, unfortunately people will pay to feel jittery.

[00:13:14] Before little pay for a fat loss product, you know that actually works that doesn't give you the Jitters

[00:13:19] Carl Lanore: [00:13:19] and what's estimate is it's a lignin of the sesame seed you can probably use eat things that have a lot of sesame seeds in them and get some of those lignans as well. But you're going to get a lot of fat to there's a candy that they make in Brooklyn New York called halva Hal vah.

[00:13:41] Very big in the Jewish Community, but it's a candy made out of sesame seed with the oil and everything is pulverized sesame seed they had a little sweetener and and it's delicious but assessment is a lignin of sesame seed Rick pack just posted what I was [00:14:00] talking about the Lippy. He said Carl's referring to the litvinov squad lifted off was a hammer thrower Olympic Hammer thrower and we did discuss that on sh, sh are some time ago a couple years ago.

[00:14:14] Probably and Rick was kind enough to put up its show number two zero nine for those of you who want to learn what the Liffey squat is and the kind of. Power overall body power it produces. It's a and keep in mind that living off was a hammer thrower right but here was front squatting like 400 pounds for reps.

[00:14:36] And then he would then he would Sprint a hundred yards and he would do that over and over and over and over again. And and the this guy must have had 10,000 mitochondria per muscle cell because because he was so much stronger than. He looked so much stronger

[00:14:55] Coach Rob Regish: [00:14:55] than he looked if I'm not mistaken top-level sprinters used to anyway, [00:15:00] they would front squat before they ran.

[00:15:02] Yeah.

[00:15:02] Carl Lanore: [00:15:02] Yeah. Well, they learned that from living off. They learned it from Littman

[00:15:05] Coach Rob Regish: [00:15:05] off. Yeah,

[00:15:06] Carl Lanore: [00:15:06] Scott Mazza an Italian brother. He says I was an All-State wrestler in high school. And now I am a cop trying to get his weight off. What's my best bet training and diet-wise? I'm almost a pure endomorph, by the way.

[00:15:22] So the deck is stacked against me.

[00:15:26] Coach Rob Regish: [00:15:26] Yeah. Well, you know what, at least he realizes that okay. There are a lot of people that launched into muscle building fat loss routines that. Works for 21.

[00:15:35] Carl Lanore: [00:15:35] Yeah, right, right. I

[00:15:37] Coach Rob Regish: [00:15:37] mean they don't really know that there are so many types are are completely at odds with what they're trying to accomplish but be that as it may endomorphs really need to hit on all cylinders right to lose fat meaning they've got to get all three fundamentals right?

[00:15:53] So let me speak to those. I think training-wise lactic acid tolerance training at least twice a week. [00:16:00] Paired with at least two high intensity interval cardio sessions per week is ideal. Those are not easy activities however to and to seems to work for a lot of people I've seen people do as many as four and get good results.

[00:16:18] I'm convinced it's a little bit of Overkill but, you know start slow the combination. Of high lactic acid levels high intensity interval cardio and Insulin that is kept low and or steady okay for the diet is your best bet now with respect to that diet. You can find evidence in the literature that low fat diets work that low carb diets.

[00:16:44] Were you can find low protein in the diets working for fat loss. Okay. It's eating. You know, it's almost like every day it works. What these diets are measuring though is a change from the [00:17:00] induction of the diet through completion. And if you really read those studies, you'll find they all have one common denominator that keep insulin low and or steady that is most easily done in my opinion by either lowering carbon take.

[00:17:18] Because that allows you to at least eat enough for you're not hungry and angry all the time and intermittent fasting. Okay, in fact intermittent fasting I would argue is the one diet where you will have fat burning hormones in your system for most of the day, okay.  Now on the low-carb diet and I need to speak to this because I see a lot of people and I've done it in the past.

[00:17:47] Were people screw up on low carb diets? They don't eat enough fat. You can't sit down to a meal of chicken breast salad and rice cauliflower. Okay and expect to lose [00:18:00] fat because you're not eating any that's how the diet works when you eat large amounts of dietary fat the enzymes that burn fat become more.

[00:18:10] Okay, you would be much better served with that meal by slathering mayonnaise over that chicken because the true ketogenic diet means eating a lot of fat. People are normally reluctant to do that though, simply because brainwasher brainless that you know, they've heard for decades fat is bad fat has nine calories per gram versus 44 carbs and protein.

[00:18:35] You're going to many calories. You're going to be fat. Okay.

[00:18:41] always get the calls me now as I spoke to you before you'll also benefit tremendously in my. From intermittent fasting provided you are strict with it and on training days have those main that main meal post exercise. [00:19:00] Okay, some people can eat carbs an Emirate fasting and still lose fat. Some people need to stay ketogenic for some time.

[00:19:08] I would experiment with both. And observe how one of the other affects your training and also your fat loss. It's a trial and error process now training-wise. I spoke before about lactic acid tolerance training your you need to be moving relatively quickly through at least 5 compound movements. To make things work.

[00:19:31] Okay running through all five with no rest between exercises and then when that round is completed resting for a minute and then starting another one is a great start. Try making it through at least two to three rounds at first ultimately building up to five.  important to point out these exercises.

[00:19:55] It won't work for using isolation movements. If you're doing I'll [00:20:00] use my wife is an example. She does TRX rows then she does bodyweight squats. Then she does push-ups then we do sled Sprints. And finally we finish things with an AB movement like hanging leg raises and or bridging which works proper proper bridging works over 200 muscles in the body.

[00:20:24] Every third or fourth workout, I want you to revert back to lifting heavy weights and resting at least 3 minutes in between sets. Ideally even five on your bigger list now. That won't just keep the muscle on it'll be a welcome reprieve for your body and your mind from those lactic acid tolerance training sessions very intense.

[00:20:48] But that's also why they work finally if you get all three of these things fundamentals, you know in order your training your diet and your sleeping. Well consider.  [00:21:00] If you're going to use a fat burner ephedrine caffeine and green tea. Whenever you might hit a plateau, let's say okay that is fat burner is not only cheaper than almost anything else on the market.

[00:21:18] It is research proven to dramatically increase the rate of fat loss. It's going to improve your work load capacity in the gym. And if you're running blood work, you'll see it's positive effect on your HDL is in the form. Like I said of higher hdls and otherwise would be normal. So that's just my comprehensive answer for an endomorph that wants to lose fat.

[00:21:44] It's a lot of work, but you can certainly do it. I've seen it over and over

[00:21:49] Carl Lanore: [00:21:49] here's the other thing you can do in my humble opinion as you get older your resting metabolic rate changes and most of us don't even know what are resting metabolic rate is which is guess. [00:22:00] Right. So training hard doing things like high intensity training and up regulating.

[00:22:05] The number of mitochondria will raise your resting metabolic rate number one, but in the meantime, you got to stop guessing what you are Mr. Is.  So either a you can find some place in the area and plunk down $10 or whatever to go sit on a bod pod or a resting metabolic rate. Bomb calorimeter and you lay there for 10 minutes and you breathe into the tube and they go your resting metabolic rate is 2500 calories a day.

[00:22:34] That means that if you eat 2500 calories a day. And do everything you're doing right now. You're probably going to continue to lose weight. You will lose weight because you're going to burn more than 2500 calories because that's estimating if you did nothing and just laid around all day long your body near 2500 calories a day to stay where it is.

[00:22:51] So if you just went to a twenty five hundred calorie a day diet and and then trained and did a little cardio even 20 minutes of cardio. You'll [00:23:00] start to see the fat come off because remember. Intermittent fasting the ketogenic diet all these diets have one thing in common. When you look at them from a study perspective, they are reducing the amount of caloric intake in the case of ketogenic you feel full all the time.

[00:23:17] You just don't want to eat as much in the case of such low fat high carb low carb high fat low protein high-protein. They are giving these people 3 to 500 calories a day less. Then they need to stay at the weight that they're at at that moment. And so you can buy that those units they used to be the breezing unit.

[00:23:37] Maybe there's still out there but there are units now that you could hook up to your iPhone and you could do your own resting metabolic rate. You got to know what that number is. If you if you don't know how much gas your guest tank holds.

[00:23:50] Coach Rob Regish: [00:23:50] Yes,

[00:23:50] Carl Lanore: [00:23:50] and then by and fifty dollars worth of gas, may I create a puddle underneath your car?

[00:23:55] Okay, and

[00:23:55] Coach Rob Regish: [00:23:55] it's not look it's not like 25 years ago. When I got it or 30 years ago when I got into [00:24:00] this with the technology we have today can tell you in a heartbeat. Well, your pulse is right with your basal metabolic rate is yeah.

[00:24:09] Carl Lanore: [00:24:09] Yes and don't forget 20 or 30 years ago. You were 20 or 30 years younger you had a high resting metabolic rate.

[00:24:16] Coach Rob Regish: [00:24:16] Yes. Yeah not make maybe not at age 50, right? Yeah. It's

[00:24:21] Carl Lanore: [00:24:21] dry goes down it does and you know. Even in guys like us who train hard. Hi, Joey listen / away says, I'm forever trying out new supplements and not finding much luck. I do as much reading as I can and I'm trying to put some real muscle on my frame most days.

[00:24:37] I eat good but I can't always eat as much as I'd like, is there anything stronger than creatine? I can use no just make yeah the drink what's that massive drink that you have that that weight gaining drink that you came out.

[00:24:51] Coach Rob Regish: [00:24:51] Weight gaining fat loss then I get definitely not mine, but it's taken from way back.

[00:24:57] Carl Lanore: [00:24:57] Yeah, that one that one it's

[00:24:59] [00:25:00] Coach Rob Regish: [00:24:59] kisser. I was going to answer his question by He Is there anything stronger than creating you guys? Yes, it's called 20 times your body weight and calories.

[00:25:07] Carl Lanore: [00:25:07] Hey you go there you got

[00:25:09] Coach Rob Regish: [00:25:09] me really that's it it listen. It's a lot easier to drink a thousand then eat a thousand.

[00:25:14] So to your point, you know, two of those shakes a day. And your weight gain fat loss problems are over. Trust me. Now, if people would just make sure they're following that one simple rule. I'm eating 20 times, you know my cake body weight and calories. There'd be a lot more muscle in the world.

[00:25:32] They're really good. If you're trying to put on muscle in your adhering to that advice you're going to suddenly find a lot more supplements that you're using seemingly work or at least work a lot better. Let's give

[00:25:43] Carl Lanore: [00:25:43] it a test. Of course if you're not eating enough testosterone doesn't. You can go grab a week.

[00:25:47] And if you're not eating enough, you may maintain muscle, but you're not going to add any new.

[00:25:53] Coach Rob Regish: [00:25:53] Yeah, so let's look into it example. Let's say mr. X what's wants to put on a lot of muscle but he's only eating 10 [00:26:00] times his body weight and calories every day. And that's typical by the way flip over any food in the grocery store.

[00:26:06] It's set to 2,000 calories a day. That is what the average person Works eat. If you want to be average stick with 2,000 in it. You want to be twice as big as a normal person. You're probably going to need. When there isn't enough calories that you're taking in.  There's not enough what I call caloric cement that the little men in your body that build muscle.

[00:26:31] They don't have the bricks necessary to lay down new muscle it is that simple but one day mr. X starts taking my advice and he's consistently now getting 20 times his body weight and calories. Let's call it for 6 weeks at a time during that time. I guarantee you if he's even doing something right in the gym basic movements adding weight.

[00:26:58] He's going to gain a lot [00:27:00] of muscle after two weeks of diving after those six weeks to get some of the weight around his waist off. Let's say he's going to go back to maybe another six weeks of overfeeding now if he does that say month in and month out for the first. Two years of his training it's entirely possible that he's going to add 20 pounds of mostly muscle now now he starts creatine okay with this next overfeeding face and boom.

[00:27:31] He sees big increases in body weight on the scale strength and work load capacity why creatine does many wonderful things, but if you don't have a base. Of harder and muscle to volumize which is one of preteens Main benefits. It attracts water in the muscle cell. Okay, then you you're not going to see any such dramatic effects.

[00:27:56] Think about it. You're going to volumize [00:28:00] what kind of results you think you get when you volumize a hundred fifty pounds of muscle versus 200, OK big difference and understand that until then until you. Get you enough calories in you know supplement you use is going to be powerful enough to make up the difference.

[00:28:17] Not even steroids are going to help your situation much because even steroid they can't create muscle out of thin air. It takes great. It takes Building Materials. In fact, if you're on steroids today, and you're not happy with your results, then I would tell you the answer is not. Bumping up the milligrams or grams as the case.

[00:28:41] Maybe it's even more the real answer is eating more same as for folks who are on steroids. Okay. In fact, it might even be more important for Naturals to eat more than the enhanced folks. So understand it really boils down to that until you [00:29:00] get enough caloric cement in you too. Make a difference to give your body the materials it needs to build more muscle

[00:29:09] Carl Lanore: [00:29:09] because it doesn't matter what you use.

[00:29:11] Yeah,

[00:29:11] Coach Rob Regish: [00:29:11] it doesn't matter

[00:29:13] Carl Lanore: [00:29:13] so here. So here's the thing. Here's the thing as soon as somebody says in their question a an example of these words I eat. Well I eat right most of the time. Yeah. I'm trying to eat right? I think I eat good. You know what? If you don't spend if you're serious about putting on muscle,

[00:29:36] Coach Rob Regish: [00:29:36] yeah

[00:29:37] Carl Lanore: [00:29:37] before you spend any more money on supplements or drugs learn how to food prep know that every single day you're getting five meals.

[00:29:45] You're hitting your protein if it's 300 grams a day, you're hitting your gate and vegetables. You're getting the food learn how to food prep before you go spend any more money go out and get yourself. Some little tupperware's go to Target and get them get 5 for each day and make your [00:30:00] chicken and make your broccoli and put them in the food prep.

[00:30:03] You want to add muscle food prep because you have to eat consistently every single day. How much weight do you think would put on a cow get your fattening up if he only ate corn and Grain and grass two out of the five seven days a week. He's never have a fat cow. You'd never have a big cow know they eat every day.

[00:30:21] Like it's work. They eat every single day. Yeah, if you're not if you're not food prepping don't ask questions about supplements and drugs at all.

[00:30:28] Coach Rob Regish: [00:30:28] Right don't and buy a blender, you know in college. I bought three thermoses. I made them Harry Jerry and Larry and one of them went with me wherever I went.

[00:30:40] To class in between class to baseball sister to the library to study. I bought that many because you know one's going to be in the washer one. You're going to need maybe stuff another one in your car. I was never away from food never and you know if chowing down is really your. For [00:31:00] a lot of people.

[00:31:00] It's their Achilles heel. You need to make eating

[00:31:03] Carl Lanore: [00:31:03] every I would say every everybody who writes a question about not being able to gain muscle not being able to being a hardgainer. What supplements will help me cuz I'm making no gains. I've been training like this for three years and I'm stalls every single one of you before you write that question.

[00:31:18] Learn how to food prep figure out your Macros get all your protein and your carbs in and your fat in a day do that for six months then send us the question and say I've been food. And I've been eating right every day for six months and I can't build muscle now. We'll find something that will work for you.

[00:31:35] But if you're not eating the food, you're not going to add muscle you could do six grams to test the week. You're not going to add muscle. You just not. Yeah

[00:31:42] Coach Rob Regish: [00:31:42] and and be prepared to answer this question. How many calories you today? Are you eating? You know, when I ask that question of the gym, you know what I get deer in the Headlights.

[00:31:53] Deer in the headlights almost nobody. As the exact number or at least even close to the Caribou, they'll say [00:32:00] probably 3,000 or prob maybe 4,000

[00:32:02] Carl Lanore: [00:32:02] they always exaggerate up they always think that because they know they're not eating enough. So they always say well I'm get about 5,000 calories a day.

[00:32:08] Yeah, and this is what I love to do when people do this and I've had people do this snap a picture with your I everybody's got a camera on them snap a picture of your meal right before you eat it send it to. And then we sit down and we go over and we go. Oh, yeah, you're eating 1800 calories a day.

[00:32:23] You thought you eaten five thousand. Seriously. Yeah.

[00:32:25] Coach Rob Regish: [00:32:25] Yes, exactly. Listen and listen do this while you're young to because I will tell you by about age 40. It was very noticeable. I could no longer eat like I did in my 20s, you know you when you're young you eat assimilate and processed. Much more efficiently than when you're older.

[00:32:46] I will say intermittent fasting got a lot of that back for me. So I might not use much as I used to but my body does process it very efficiently given that diet and listen to it's [00:33:00] free, right.

[00:33:03] Carl Lanore: [00:33:03] We have a question from Johnny loud and then we'll go to break. I took the active sterile plug and surprisingly did really well with it for the month it lasted.

[00:33:12] This was entirely different than when I tried it a year ago with Pinnacles product. I forget the name. I do remember the ad for it was a guy in jail and more or less positioned the product as one step away from illegal my training and diet have largely remained the same. Why would I get better results this time, especially since I'm older.

[00:33:35] Coach Rob Regish: [00:33:35] Yeah, well listen, it's very simple. I recall that product very well. It was called Equitable and it was put out by a company named Pinnacle. You remember Pinnacle? Yeah, go. Yeah. So most more importantly that product had a horrible reputation nobody who used it at anything good to say about. Okay and the [00:34:00] reason one of the reasons for that is it had 20.

[00:34:03] Milligrams of Epi stare on per cap at the recommended to caps a day. Then the most you were getting was 40 milligrams a day a properly Dos Equis Tehran protocol should be in the neighborhood of five milligrams per kilogram of body weight. So a 200 pound person needs to be getting anywhere between 450 and maybe 500 or 600 milligrams a day.

[00:34:31] Not 40, you know take 600 milligrams of test a week versus 40 and see what's the difference there is now another point. It was supposedly a Rippon to come Karthik modes based product which which I believe is true. So what gives what else gives what gives is that in addition to a pathetically low dose the over standardized?

[00:34:58] Their product for [00:35:00] one act Estero that being 20 hydroxy yucky sterile.  If you've read or listened to anything, I've had to say over the years I do not think that particular act East are own is very effective. Okay, so it's no surprise then when that product was permanently discontinued and so to I think the company right so.

[00:35:25] You know, they're no longer around now in every case every case that I can recall that a supplement company over standardize their product for that one particular act East are own results have been terrible legal gear on an art. I think they call themselves LG science, right? Yeah saivation and others.

[00:35:46] Made that same mistake now to Legal gears credit there may be others but I remember legal gear. They eventually fixed that issue. Okay, but the damage had already been done not only to their reputation as a company [00:36:00] but also to XD steroids reputation here was another product that simply didn't work.

[00:36:07] Okay, what you need to know is this full spectrum of Ponte? Contains dozens of XD steroids some of which are still being identified to this day full-spectrum rce also contains what the Russians called The Levee scenes complex now depending upon who's literature you read. This is a grouping of 10 to 12 XD steroids in a very specific ratio to each other now, it's possible.

[00:36:38] That you benefited this time from the effect of the product has on recovery. I'm guessing used green on a bowline, which I mentioned some weeks back. Okay, that is one of but by no means acting share owns only benefit. Older lifters, although you're not much older be cover slower. They so a boost in recovery [00:37:00] is going to be noticeable.

[00:37:01] One of the other rarely talked benefits about equity share own. Is this its effect on blood sugar?  They also have okay, so they have a very strong cholesterol and blood sugar lowering effect, which is quite noticeable on your fasting blood sugars. If you've had that blood work done. It really took care of mine.

[00:37:24] I mean, I dropped maybe 15 or 20 points and this is also something that you can feel as you okay, because as you age your insulin sensitivity drops off and blood sugar orders become more prevalent acti shines in that area and your blood sugar should be steadier as a result. If you doubt that go through your day with blood sugar levels that look like this.

[00:37:50] You know, you're going to be you know perked up and then boom you're going to be sleeping or at least someone like so from that you get two [00:38:00] things. There is a curious feel good effect that goes along with the quality act East are on product that can be noticed in the first three days and a more pronounced body recomposition effect after weeks and months on.

[00:38:14] Okay, I will speak to that second topic a little later on the show, but. To say this is another great example of what I've been talking about for years, which is the difference between the junk and equality act has their own product is night and day make sure you're taking a good. Um, otherwise, I'm glad you did well on it this time around.

[00:38:39] Yeah. There

[00:38:40] Carl Lanore: [00:38:40] you go. We're gonna take a quick commercial break when we come back. We have other questions, you're listening to the blueprint power. Go check out Rob's new website.

[00:38:48] Coach Rob Regish: [00:38:48] It's beautiful

[00:38:50] Carl Lanore: [00:38:50] coach Rob register.com. There's so much good information there and a lot of it you can get sent right into your inbox if you sign up for the blueprint.

[00:38:58] And you don't have to wait

[00:38:59] Coach Rob Regish: [00:38:59] to

[00:38:59] [00:39:00] Carl Lanore: [00:38:59] hear

[00:39:00] Coach Rob Regish: [00:39:00] it here on

[00:39:00] Carl Lanore: [00:39:00] the show. Stay tuned. We'll be right back. I gotta tell you guys about something really pretty

[00:39:04] Coach Rob Regish: [00:39:04] cool. Yeah, shoot,

[00:39:06] Carl Lanore: [00:39:06] so I've been playing around with this.  New supplement from dr. Seeds.com. And it's actually quite good. I got to read it because the name is hard to pronounce its die Hydro.

[00:39:18] Hinoki rho n okay, iol. It's actually a derivative of magnolia bark extract and it's well known to be an anti-anxiety compound the problem with Pinocchio. All in general is it's very very short-lived. It lasts minutes. So, dr. Seeds came up with a way to make it last hours. They turned it into Dy Hydro hinoki.

[00:39:43] And it's now called the chill pill and yesterday I went shooting with my son and usually when I go to the range I get a little revved up for the first half hour or so. Yeah, it's just the idea of all the shooting and you know, you're nervous and blah blah blah. So I took just [00:40:00] one before I went to the range yesterday with my son.

[00:40:02] I gave my son one as well.  I got to the range I didn't have that anxiety feelings. That feeling like of being wired up. In fact, I'll use it. Every time I go shooting now lowers

[00:40:13] Coach Rob Regish: [00:40:13] lowers cortisol two dozen.

[00:40:15] Carl Lanore: [00:40:15] I don't know about that. I don't know that it does it. May it may but it does little blood pressure and it's so for those people who have high blood pressure.

[00:40:23] You can take a couple of these a day and forget about taking prescription drugs. They didn't say that I'm telling you that this is what I discovered myself and in some research I did. This audience gets 20% off if they go to doctors seeds Dr. SE e DS.com when you buy the chill pill use the code SH are you get 20% off this stuff is great.

[00:40:46] I'm taking it for sleep. I'm sleeping better. I take it if you if you're nervous about going flying take one. If you're nervous about, you know, public speaking take one. You can even take two depending on your size. [00:41:00] This is one of the most amazing non-habit-forming AIDS. But here's the best part.

[00:41:05] There's two good studies on it that show that while it takes the edge off. It does not impair muscle contractile Force.

[00:41:14] Coach Rob Regish: [00:41:14] Oh,

[00:41:15] Carl Lanore: [00:41:15] yes. So some people get anxious, right? They go to the gym. They're going to lift heavy weights. The music in their head is making them nervous that think it man, you know, and they literally don't they're not as strong because they get an adrenaline dump.

[00:41:31] You can take one or two of these before you go and train and see if you're not stronger and more relaxed and calmer because it will they compared it to benzos and and the regular hinoki all not the die Hydro. Yep, and they showed that the effects were the same as benzos as far as making people feel relaxed, but they did not impair muscle function at all with the benzos do.

[00:41:57] Coach Rob Regish: [00:41:57] Sounds like phenibut without the [00:42:00] without the risk of addiction its

[00:42:01] Carl Lanore: [00:42:01] fat a beaut without the risk of addiction. But also it doesn't fed. A beaut makes you sleepy this doesn't make you sleepy you just feel all of a sudden you just it kicks in in about 20 minutes or less. You can take it with food. You can take it on an empty stomach.

[00:42:15] It doesn't matter all of a sudden you just notice not noticing. It's almost like you go, huh? I feel different.

[00:42:24] Coach Rob Regish: [00:42:24] Working my work your car. Can I get it?

[00:42:27] Carl Lanore: [00:42:27] Dr. Seeds Dr. SE e DS.com use the code shr 20% off. So, you know, I'm back on caffeine.

[00:42:35] Coach Rob Regish: [00:42:35] Yep

[00:42:36] Carl Lanore: [00:42:36] the other day. I had a couple too many total Wars. Yep.

[00:42:39] I took two of these and I didn't feel like I had any caffeine at all. I was totally chill totally true.

[00:42:46] Coach Rob Regish: [00:42:46] It's really

[00:42:46] Carl Lanore: [00:42:46] great stuff. This is going to this is going to change this is going to be a game changer. Because there are a lot of people out there who suffer from anxiety and they're taking Xanax and benzos that are affecting their sleep negatively affecting your ability to [00:43:00] function that they can just take one or two of these and it lasts about five hours.

[00:43:04] Well, not regularly hinoki all last minutes because die Hydro form of hinoki all Less hours.

[00:43:13] Coach Rob Regish: [00:43:13] Yeah, I'm wondering if that's the active in Magnolia bark that I was thinking about for cortisol reduction but

[00:43:18] Carl Lanore: [00:43:18] has to because that's what this is It's magnolia bark extract. That's exactly what it is. Yeah,

[00:43:24] Coach Rob Regish: [00:43:24] check it

[00:43:25] Carl Lanore: [00:43:25] out so still yo says one tab of bronc Aid four times a week.

[00:43:29] Would that make anyone pop for methamphetamine on a drug test asking for a friend?

[00:43:35] Coach Rob Regish: [00:43:35] No, in fact, you know, they know that ephedrine and other chemicals similar to amphetamine structurally there is a secondary test that is performed that will show that it is ephedrine and not you know, certainly not a kind of had a magnet it's just it's it's a bit it's important though if you're subject to a drug test.

[00:43:59] It is very [00:44:00] important to tell them that you're using it. Yeah,

[00:44:02] Carl Lanore: [00:44:02] you have bronchial

[00:44:03] Coach Rob Regish: [00:44:03] drop. Yes. Exactly if I have terrible asthma right before I work out.

[00:44:09] Carl Lanore: [00:44:09] I work out Eric beta says I grew up in the 80s did like you did remember how big the wrestlers were today? I watch it and there's so much smaller like gymnasts in most cases is the drug testing that much greater.

[00:44:25] Now if it is, why do I still see some big guys like Brock Lesnar? Well Brock is just a big guy, but go.

[00:44:32] Coach Rob Regish: [00:44:32] Yeah, well, there's always going to be Freaks Like right and I use that in the best of the web of ways Pro wrestling's boom in the 80s when he's referring back to you was fueled by many and muscle man.

[00:44:46] And obviously the biggest one being Hulk hope, you know when you're building the promotion around some guy who's 67 310 pounds 24 inch arms. It sends a pretty [00:45:00] powerful message now. So it was pretty it was pretty obvious in the WWF at that time at least the more heavily muscled you were the bigger the push you would get the inside word was that at the time McMahon?

[00:45:13] Who's a bodybuilder himself Wilson interested in signing any one that was less than 6 2 and 250 pounds. So that message was so over. Obviously the people in the business got the message as well as people that are watching at home and in short order pro wrestling started to look like it raided Gold's Gym then some some interesting things happen.

[00:45:40] So around 1992 the federal government arrested. And prosecuted the dr. Jordans thorium who was a Pennsylvania ringside doctor that was supplying a lot of Vince's top talent. They subpoenaed FedEx records showing that he sent packages to Hulk [00:46:00] Hogan Rowdy Roddy Piper, you know. A lot of the top names so but obviously those were two of the biggest and the biggest was Hogan who the government got to testify against McMahon that didn't pan out like they wanted that's a different story for a different time McMahon was ultimately charged with distribution, but later acquitted when the government failed to prove its case nevertheless, it was a big blow to the WWF Public Image and Vince instituted a strict.

[00:46:30] Drug testing policy run in this was the real deal because it was run. Not only are not by. Dr. Morrow dipasquale. Okay, dr. Dee who I if I'm if I'm correct. He was your first guest

[00:46:46] Carl Lanore: [00:46:46] ever found very first guest on the show back in 2005. Right?

[00:46:50] Coach Rob Regish: [00:46:50] Right. So he he is now in charge of getting the most out of his out of Vince's newly created.

[00:46:57] World bodybuilding Federation for those that [00:47:00] remember it including Lou Ferrigno. So a lot of big names jump from weeder and now they're under the wbf banner in true drug testing now the wbf ultimately folded and WWF physiques predictably took a nosedive. Okay now he had a few genetic superiors. Who held onto a lot of their muscle over there were a lot noticeably smaller guys like Lex Luger if you remember him but most just shrunk and or they were replaced by what wrestling used to be which was you know, guys big bone endomorphs, right which were throwback to the 50s 60s and 70s over in WCW, which was the other league at the time there really wasn't any drug tests.

[00:47:50] So you can imagine where most guys wanted to work. Especially after Ted Turner brought the promotion. Okay, and they were given out big [00:48:00] guaranteed contracts which was unheard of in wrestling at the time. However, WCW management was awful. They were not wrestling people. They did not understand the product.

[00:48:12] They did not understand how to promote it and subsequently ran it into the ground. So Vince bought them in 2001. For pennies on the dollar including their film Library, which is what he really wanted which consists of a lot of the WWE Network today in any case there is still in WWE a wellness policy today.

[00:48:35] However, it's not very strict. It doesn't look if I'm not mistaken. It doesn't zero in on steroids like it used to they're more worried and rightfully so about painkillers. In similar priority opiate or opioid based painkillers Lesnar Brock Lesnar on the other hand. He is not subject to their wellness policy because [00:49:00] he is considered part-time Talent.

[00:49:02] He's a part-time contractor working X number of dates instead of every night, you know of every week of every month of every year all in all.  pro wrestlers are healthier today. Then they once were but it is still a god-awful business rolling longevity. So between the bumps that they take in the rim the road schedule the time away from your family and the constant demand for more and more dangerous moves many of these guys are dead before.

[00:49:36] And that's a sad but true statistic. You can go on YouTube and just punch in dead wrestlers. You will be absolutely shocked and what you find here is the bottom line. Yes. The guys today are smaller. They are more athletic. They're doing crazier and crazier things and putting themselves more at [00:50:00] risk steroids.

[00:50:01] As far as I'm concerned, they are the least of a wrestlers worries. I would guess and suggest even that intelligent use of those steroids is only going to help them in so far as you know, making the most of a short career for those of you that have traveled on business and you know what it's like especially after 9/11 schlepping through airports gets real old real fast.

[00:50:30] Add to that late nights every night and you're taking a pounding in the ring.  and you're in a world in a world of reality suspension that you can get caught up and.  it's a tough business. It's a real tough business the guys that are still super Jack today. Yeah, they're they're using a little something but it's not like it was in the 80s.

[00:50:57] It'll be interesting to see where it goes personally. [00:51:00] I cannot watch wrestling the way it's promoted. I hate it. I think Disney ultimately is going to buy them after Vince dies. That's just my two cents.

[00:51:08] Carl Lanore: [00:51:08] That's guess who's interviewing me today. 

[00:51:12] Coach Rob Regish: [00:51:12] No idea Leo

[00:51:13] Carl Lanore: [00:51:13] cost.

[00:51:14] Coach Rob Regish: [00:51:14] Oh, yeah, really? He's

[00:51:16] Carl Lanore: [00:51:16] got a podcast now and I forgot all about it.

[00:51:18] I just got an email from his manager. Whatever I was like. Oh, yeah today at two o'clock Eastern time. Steve Decker says, I'm new to the gym and haven't lifted a weight in my life. My friends tell me I'm strong though, because I work on a farm and it's a lot of physical work are farming people who work on farms are strong how or even should my training be any different than a regular?

[00:51:43] Coach Rob Regish: [00:51:43] Yeah, so he doesn't give me his age here. But I'm going to assume that he's young farm work. As you know is some of the most physically demanding work that there is and it's often performed.  In you know intense sunlight which may [00:52:00] sound strange to you. But think about it, you know, if you're out and intense sunlight all day doing these heavy activities sweating buckets losing minerals, etc, etc.

[00:52:09] Yeah, and these farmers do it from sunup to sundown. That's a big deal. It's a lot for your body to deal with now. I've seen it firsthand here in the Northeast in particular big. Tobacco Farms now, that doesn't mean. You know, you'll be another Brock Lesnar, but it but it does mean the same raw strength work that he performed because I think if I'm not mistaken, he grew up on a farm as well having yeah having said that abbreviated routines are what I would recommend for you along with some hit cardio that sort of time thing.

[00:52:48] a couple of things I would. Focus on trap are deadlifting no more frequently than once every 10 days. It is the one [00:53:00] movement that will work more total muscle mass than any other and it's it's very applicable because from what I can see there are plenty of deadlift type movements in farming. They'll just look at baling.

[00:53:12] Hay, you know, I've seen guys pick up big bales of hay. That's the deadlift. I don't care. What else you what do you want to call it? You know? Hey bailing it's deadlifting. You're moving something concentrically only from a dead stop. Okay second. I would tell you the hip belt squat is an absolute must your lower back.

[00:53:33] Think about it your lower backs already taxed after spending all day probably bent over in the fields may be bailing. Hay and doing other stuff keeping more and more work on top of that by lifting. Weights in the deadlift type movement you're just asking for trouble right now one other thing a good chin and dip station would be another.

[00:53:58] Carl Lanore: [00:53:58] I

[00:53:58] Coach Rob Regish: [00:53:58] want investment that [00:54:00] movements of Nazi in informing or at least the farming I observed. You may be going on down, you know Kentucky girl certainly be going on in the midwest. But those are two great movements of work the entire upper body. You want to combine in my opinion infrequent trap are dead lifts with little more frequent hip belt squats chins and dips and bridging.

[00:54:25] On a twice a week schedule, you know to do more. So on top of all that physical labor. I just don't see it work those sessions by the way should come. Either early in the morning. Although farmers get up super early or after your easiest days in the field, you know, which it whenever you feel strong is basically the bridging in particular is going to be big for you in big for anyone I would argue that is stooped over, you know in that position all day where the vertebrae are open it consequently.

[00:54:57] The disc is very prone to. [00:55:00] If you think about it bridging bending backward closes the vertebrae around the disc is a very safe way to train the back it will give you a smile like a steel whip. They will give you tremendous explosive power and strength and. It is a movement that I consider restorative.

[00:55:21] It puts back it helps you recover faster. It pumps blood into the disc which are notoriously slow to heal because of poor blood supply that's bridging you need to be doing it. Otherwise, I would take advantage of the biggest Edge that you have versus the rest of the world and I'm talking about.

[00:55:42] Farm to Table food and lots of all right right in some ways. I really wish I was you my God, you know the quality of food and the volume that you're able to eat there you kidding. It doesn't get any better than that, right?

[00:55:57] Carl Lanore: [00:55:57] Excellent. You know, who else [00:56:00] was a super MMA fighter who grew up on a farm.

[00:56:03] And that's Matt use and he was a little guy and he used to lift guys off their backs and dump them on the mat. Like he was dead lifting people. I mean, yeah for people who work on farms. They know how to be strong. We're going to take our last commercial break when we come back gonna have the blueprint tip the day.

[00:56:19] I don't know if we're going to have time today. To do a banter, but we'll do our best because my producer I don't want to piss my producer off Shawn can earn Shield get mad at you may fire me stay tuned with breakfast. Welcome back Rob. What's the blueprints of the day

[00:56:36] Coach Rob Regish: [00:56:36] tip of the day is what I have learned from this latest round of rhabdo and more importantly what it means to you.

[00:56:44] Goes far beyond rhabdo in my opinion. So this last round of it I have had has resulted in me learning some very important lessons. So without further Ado I'll share with you. You know what those are in the hope that you don't feel fall [00:57:00] victim to it in the doctors by the way who don't understand it first things first.

[00:57:06] Rhabdomyolysis is a true medical condition very serious condition. That you may and I may have a genetic predisposition to interestingly enough. This isn't something to be taken lightly. Nothing to be joked about it's nothing to wear as a badge of honor like some people say I like trying so hard I put myself in the hospital.

[00:57:28] Well, it was pretty dumb thing to do. In fact, if you don't get immediate medical attention.  you go into kidney failure die. And nobody wants that right. So here are some of the warning signs to watch out number one extreme pain in the muscles, which much unlike Dom's or delayed onset muscle soreness.

[00:57:55] Does not require any movement they'll just be hurting you would be in a lot of [00:58:00] pain to the touch. Okay, that's a whole different ballgame and downs, you might also be confused sometimes to the point where naming who the current president is is impossible look like myself if you have very dark yellow urine or Cola certainly Cola covered in urine or colored urine rather bad bad side number for blood in the urine like I.

[00:58:24] You don't have to be a doctor to figure out that's not good. Right and lastly change in urine output. Usually, you know, you're urinating less frequently than you otherwise would be simply because you have compromised kidney function. So those are just some of the basic things to look out for it's important to understand.

[00:58:46] You won't always get morning signs, but these are the ones to look out for okay, when you get to the hospital, they're usually looking at a few biomarkers creatine, kinase myoglobin lactate [00:59:00] dehydrogenase creatinine and creatinine which they see as a marker of kidney function now IV fluids sometimes with some additional sodium bicarbonate.

[00:59:10] Is the usual Frontline defense once they have the blood work and they know what they're dealing with upon discharged being discharged. You will probably be counseled. As I was stay the hell away from non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs at all costs. They told me to stay away from creatine and all supplements in general the truth as I come to find out.

[00:59:33] Is that many supplements. Have been proven to lower creatine kinase levels and those other biomarkers especially when used just prior to and during the workout those include the essential amino acids creatine for solok acid. Okay, and based upon my labs at the sterile those what for [01:00:00] make a huge difference.

[01:00:02] And how much tissue damage is created and how your body cannot much tissue damage your body can deal with without getting into the Red Zone emergency rooms usually do a great job of getting you out of danger right saving people's lives, but the truth is once you get out of a hospital.  Things will probably get a lot more frustrated because they're going to tell you to go see your primary care doctor within three to five days of discharge.

[01:00:30] Like I was. He or she will probably fixate on Creatine kinase with most Labs showing a range of between zero and about 200 understand. These are normal values for normal people. There is plenty of evidence meaning studies. I found showing athletes are different. We're in Norms some Norms by sport have been proposed of up to.

[01:00:57] You'll also be told to avoid any strenuous [01:01:00] exercise which you know initially that's understandable. But as you'll come to find out exercise itself has a very protective effect against rhabdo, which is well established in the literature. Now, that doesn't mean you can go back and you know pick up right where you left off and start doing crazy using intensification techniques.

[01:01:21] It does mean that sitting around and doing nothing. Drivers told to do is probably going to do more to hurt you then to help you create an in that's another biomarker. They're going to zero in on many docks are going to tell you that the end-all be-all of Kidney Health my doctor thought he freaked out he sent me to a kidney specialist.

[01:01:43] It turns out that that. Most of the time isn't the case Okay several. There are a number of things that can result in greater than normal creatinine levels one is include, you know, eating a lot of red meat before the day of the test using observed absurd amounts of creatine, which [01:02:00] I'll quantify is like 30 grams a day or more nobody.

[01:02:04] There's a secondary test called Sisseton see which measures kidney function independent of creatinine which in my opinion is going to give you much better right results of what's going on. At least when dealing with rhabdo that test revealed what I suspected my kidneys were functioning fine, or at least a hell of a lot better than what my creatinine was show.

[01:02:29] My CK was still in the 800 range it as a we speak today as far as I know but both my doctor's all of a sudden seem a lot less worried about it than they used to be. You know after I gave him the studies before before I present of those studies showing CK levels were different for athletes. The sky was falling every time I was having blood work every week.

[01:02:53] I had to see each of those doctors every week and they told me. Absolutely, positively no [01:03:00] exercise period end of conversation. Nothing that elevates your heart rate. Let me tell you where that got me.  After following that advice for three months I couldn't take it anymore on a Monday morning about a month ago.

[01:03:16] I went for blood work again. Creatinine was still high 1.9. 1.35 is the high end and CK was. 200 is considered the upper end of normal now. I didn't know this yet because the test didn't come back until 24 hours later on Tuesday, but I gave blood and then I went to train that afternoon. I did deadlifts.

[01:03:39] I did pullovers and some Network the doctor when he heard this after he called me Tuesday. He was really fearful of what that. I was going to do I should what do you want me to do? He says give blood again Wednesday or Thursday. So, you know 24 to 48 hours lady later the result like creatinine actually dropped to [01:04:00] 1.3 in my CK to 800 which is still high but think about it 14 something to 800.

[01:04:08] So if there's not necessarily from what I can see it cause and effect relationship or if you work out you're going to get in the red zone. Here's what's important to you.  You need in any medical situation to be your own best Advocate. That doesn't mean, you know being Cavalier. It does mean you don't take everything for gospel.

[01:04:33] You don't have had I not research my condition little more thoroughly. I would still be sitting here terrified to exercise. For form for straight month, I'd be starting at creatinine. You know, I'd be staring at these creatinine and CK numbers convinced as they gave me the impression. I was one step away from dialysis.

[01:04:56] You know, I also became extremely depressed during that time [01:05:00] that I wasn't working out. And I was probably be honest. I was pretty miserable to live with God bless my wife you would be too if they take away, you know, they took away your favorite thing in the world you'd be miserable too. Now. You don't need to be a doctor to read blood work.

[01:05:17] They even flag the stuff as high or low that's out of range. So, you know so that you don't miss it. Make sure by the way whenever you get it done make sure to demand. A copy of that blood work. That is your right right there like muscles you stop using them you lose them.  Think critically question assumptions and walk into your doctor's office prepared with documentation to support your position to be clear.

[01:05:49] This should not be an adversarial exercise with doctor doctor is there to help you you're paying for his services? Use them in [01:06:00] summary. I will tell you this you get into any medical condition or discussion with the doctor.  Do your research be your own Advocate if you ever doubt what to do remember this the six best doctors on the planet Are One sunshine to water three rest for are five diet and six exercise.

[01:06:24] Oh six doctors can fix a lot of things and that concludes my to feces on the matter.

[01:06:32] Carl Lanore: [01:06:32] Okay. So and in honor of Sean can earn Shield we're going to do a short short banter because then I have to get ready for this interview with

[01:06:40] Coach Rob Regish: [01:06:40] Leo Kosta. 

[01:06:43] Carl Lanore: [01:06:43] I am a junkie. When I was in when I was a young guy in the 70s, it was weed.

[01:06:49] It was LSD was Quaaludes. It was to naul's and second all's crystal meth. I snorted heroin, you know, it was all that stuff

[01:06:59] Coach Rob Regish: [01:06:59] then

[01:07:00] [01:07:00] Carl Lanore: [01:07:00] I had children. I don't even smoke weed anymore. That was for like, I don't know 17 18 years. Yeah, then come out the other side and single, you know, go through a divorce.

[01:07:13] I'm single I start smoking weed again and the next thing you know, I discovered performance-enhancing drugs. I'm like, oh this is so much better than all the crap I used to do. In the 70s because this is actually going to make me bigger and stronger and and it's a positive. It's positive. The one thing I have been able to kick and I've tried so many times as caffeine.

[01:07:34] I gave it up. I come back. I gave it up. I come back. I gave it up and you and I were joking I said, you know, basically with junkies. I'm not hook to heroin. I'm not hooking, you know, I'm not on heroin. I'm not that kind of junky but at the end of the day you and I both have addictive personalities.

[01:07:49] Don't way

[01:07:50] Coach Rob Regish: [01:07:50] absolutely hundred percent.

[01:07:53] Carl Lanore: [01:07:53] You think that's part of what makes us love physical culture. We're addicted to the way it makes us feel. 

[01:08:00] [01:08:00] Coach Rob Regish: [01:08:00] Absolutely 100%

[01:08:02] Carl Lanore: [01:08:02] Okay guys. Okay. That's the end of the banter. Thanks for being here. That's it.

[01:08:06] Coach Rob Regish: [01:08:06] You know, you know, you know, what's funny. Is it the kidney dark look at me and he says because we were discussing, you know, your theory on the federal.

[01:08:13] He said you take stimulants I said every day he looked at me. He says every day I said for 35 years. Ephedrine and caffeine there were there was a precious short period of time think it was a week or two carlman. We're speculating it was the ephedrine that was causing us and that appears not to be the case.

[01:08:35] But you know, honestly that there's stun absolutely stun. So yeah, we're junkies under person as a matter of fact. I open the black box today and tell

[01:08:46] Carl Lanore: [01:08:46] people what your black boxes this is something that you've had supplements in four years, right?

[01:08:50] Coach Rob Regish: [01:08:50] Yeah. It's a black box with a combination lock on it and it's been a long time since I went in there.

[01:08:59] I don't know if you can [01:09:00] see this this very nice looks like

[01:09:01] Carl Lanore: [01:09:01] a pretty it looks like a protein powder jug.

[01:09:04] Coach Rob Regish: [01:09:04] Yes. Yes. And in fact I waited this morning it contains two and a half pounds of the Federer. Extract and I will tell you this it is at least 15 years old and just as strong as the day I bought it and if you're a stim junkie and that didn't drive you crazy.

[01:09:26] Then this certainly will crominus

[01:09:29] Carl Lanore: [01:09:29] holy beep is that for?

[01:09:32] Coach Rob Regish: [01:09:32] Two full bottles of it still

[01:09:34] Carl Lanore: [01:09:34] ho man.

[01:09:36] Coach Rob Regish: [01:09:36] Yeah. And so yeah, we're you know, we're still junkies. We like these things and personally, I'll tell you from my perspective. It is simply because stimulants the most people who bring them way up here.

[01:09:49] Given my demeanor and personality it brings me from down here up to normal, right? That's good. That's it. I feel productive. I feel happier. I can see no [01:10:00] physical. Damage that it's doing

[01:10:01] Carl Lanore: [01:10:01] I know they doctor put you on benzos for the rest of your life and make you feel like crap. There's no problem with that.

[01:10:06] Coach Rob Regish: [01:10:06] Yeah, exactly and recommend or

[01:10:08] Carl Lanore: [01:10:08] put your put you on ssris that make you feel numb to life for the rest of your life. There's no problem with that. But God forbid you take something that makes you up and and excited about life. No, no, don't do that. Don't do that.

[01:10:20] Coach Rob Regish: [01:10:20] Yeah, the government banned in 2004 and you know the DEA continues to this day with great time and other stuff da is terrified that somewhere.

[01:10:30] In America today, someone is using something to feel better if that's really what it boils down to if it's a god-awful drug that you know affects you terribly like you pointed out benzos or opioids. That's okay. That's okay because big Pharma makes tons of money out of it Federer extract, but you can't get any more which contains real ephedrine alkaloids.

[01:10:59] Is [01:11:00] they don't get a cut of that and it by far it was the most effective fat burner anybody has ever come up with big Pharma still cannot how

[01:11:11] Carl Lanore: [01:11:11] many people supposedly died from ephedra supposedly.  The

[01:11:17] Coach Rob Regish: [01:11:17] Rand report. I want to say it was, you know less than 10, you know every

[01:11:23] Carl Lanore: [01:11:23] day every month a hundred people died from Tylenol.

[01:11:28] Yeah every month. So let that sink in when you think that the FDA is protecting.

[01:11:35] Coach Rob Regish: [01:11:35] Yeah, not only that. Here's a good example that ran study that they commissioned their puppet organization to kill a federal one of those deaths that they attributed to ephedrine was a guy who drove his car into a 18-wheeler.

[01:11:50] I think it was decapitated. They attributed that ephedrine because all they found ephedrine alkaloids in his sister. Well, if it

[01:11:57] Carl Lanore: [01:11:57] well if car accidents [01:12:00] Under the Influence or a problem than and then they need to take booze off the market.

[01:12:04] Coach Rob Regish: [01:12:04] Imagine that huh?

[01:12:05] Carl Lanore: [01:12:05] Oh, no, but they make a lot of they make billions of dollars in taxes on booze Yep.

[01:12:10] This is this you know, this is the hypocrisy folks. This is the hypocrisy that we live under the Food and Drug Administration doesn't really care. If you are harmed by the foods and the drugs that they have oversight as long as they get as long as the government gets their cut of your death like in tobacco

[01:12:29] Coach Rob Regish: [01:12:29] good booze.

[01:12:31] Carl Lanore: [01:12:31] It's okay. It's cool die that's are okay. As long as the government gets their cut if they see the stuff that telling people it's small numbers 10 people but they're not getting their cut on that threatens their Partners the companies that are giving them their cut Yep. They're their markets like like ephedra like like cray.

[01:12:55] That's a different story. No. No, we can't let that happen. We are going to protect you from it. Yeah,

[01:12:59] [01:13:00] Coach Rob Regish: [01:12:59] God awful. Absolutely. Got of quick question for you. Are you interested you interviewing Leo now know

[01:13:06] Carl Lanore: [01:13:06] he's interviewing me and at two o'clock local time. So an hour and a half cool. I mean half hour.

[01:13:13] Coach Rob Regish: [01:13:13] He of just so everyone knows real Kosta was the art. I was the author rather of big beyond

[01:13:20] Carl Lanore: [01:13:20] belief big beyond belief.

[01:13:21] Coach Rob Regish: [01:13:21] And even before that you might want to ask him about this Bulgarian burst training which was different because I ordered both of them when I remember but he was he spearheaded both of those and I want you to think about this much like myself.

[01:13:37] He's not out there Hawking supplements, you know as his only product for first and foremost he was talking training and how important that was back in the late 1980s late 1980s. So here's a guy who understands what it really takes to build muscle. You should listen to every word. He was [01:14:00] two decades ahead of his time as far as I'm concerned about what he wrote about.

[01:14:05] I would be very curious to know what he's up to today.

[01:14:09] Carl Lanore: [01:14:09] He had an app that he had was launching. He came on my show year or two ago and he had a workout app. He was launching. I don't know where he is, but I'll find out will I'm going to take this interview with him. I'll let you guys know when it's available to listen to so it's not

[01:14:23] Coach Rob Regish: [01:14:23] going to be live.

[01:14:24] Carl Lanore: [01:14:24] I don't think so, but maybe it is I don't know. I have no idea. You know, I don't care if it's live. It's not live it. I'm there. I'm going to be the same Carl no matter what so it doesn't matter.

[01:14:33] Coach Rob Regish: [01:14:33] Cool. Yeah, thanks of. It's going to be wonderful.

[01:14:36] Carl Lanore: [01:14:36] All right. Listen. Thanks a lot for listening today.
