[00:00:00] Carl Lanore: [00:00:00] welcome back to another episode of super human radio. Today is, uh, July 7th, 2020, and we will be performing the blueprint power hour in just a moment. Those of you have questions. Please post them on Facebook while you're watching this video or on YouTube. If you're watching
[00:00:17] Coach Rob Regish: [00:00:17] this video on YouTube
[00:00:18] Carl Lanore: [00:00:18] and we will get your questions, I promise.
[00:00:21] Uh, we have a lot of questions to answer today that was sent in ahead of time. And we always work in the live questions as well. Uh, before we get started, of course I have to thank my title sponsor, and that is legendary foods. They make the show possible. If you like the show, patronize the sponsors and definitely patronize legendary food because
[00:00:40] Coach Rob Regish: [00:00:40] their products are amazing.
[00:00:42] Um,
[00:00:43] Carl Lanore: [00:00:43] I've said it before. I loved their nut butters. You know, sometimes I just want something sweet to punctuate a meal and I'll take one of their nut butters and has that have no sugar in them? No added sugar, but they taste ridiculously decadent and rich, and the [00:01:00] flavors are amazing. And, uh, I'll just take a, take a tablespoon of that and that'll satisfy my sweet tooth, but also there, uh, tasty pastry is basically.
[00:01:11] Their version of a pop tart with all the crap taken out non-GMO uh, it's uh, it's. It has less than one gram of sugar. It has nine grams of protein. It fits your macros. If you're focusing on low carb, whether it's kedo, uh, or whether you're a high protein, low carb person. Uh, so check them out. Of course. And, uh, without further delay, let me get my cohost on here and play his music.
[00:01:40] Coach Rob Regish: [00:01:40] Calling
[00:01:40] Carl Lanore: [00:01:40] all
[00:01:41] Coach Rob Regish: [00:01:41] blueprint, army
[00:01:42] Carl Lanore: [00:01:42] fall in line. It's time for the blueprint power hour with coach Rodriguez on the superhuman
[00:01:48] Coach Rob Regish: [00:01:48] radio network.
[00:01:53] Carl Lanore: [00:01:53] Hey, Rob, I forgot to say, use the code SHR for 10% This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. I don't know how I, [00:02:00] you know, I'm so used to doing video now that I forget to say certain things for the listening audience, which is really the majority of our consumption is the audio podcast. And then I haven't, I haven't been bad about it.
[00:02:11] That that was the first one for me. I think I it's the first time. I didn't say that, but anyway, how you doing? How are you doing?
[00:02:17] Coach Rob Regish: [00:02:17] Doing good today happens to me would be my grandmother's 93rd or fourth birthday. So I'll be off to the cemetery after the show. Um,
[00:02:26] Carl Lanore: [00:02:26] that's nice that people still do that by the
[00:02:28] Coach Rob Regish: [00:02:28] way.
[00:02:29] Yeah. You know what I mean? She was a wonderful woman. She was a great role model. She reminds me a lot of my wife. I wish they could have met, but, um, you know, it's important to remember. Right. And it only takes a few minutes. So that's what I'll be doing.
[00:02:44] Carl Lanore: [00:02:44] Good. Very, very good. Now you have something going on over at the dot com.
[00:02:48] You have a special right now, don't
[00:02:50] Coach Rob Regish: [00:02:50] you. Yeah. You know, you talk about the code SHR and what it gets you. Um, look, I realize times are still tough for a lot of people and they're probably going [00:03:00] to be for awhile. Right. But the whole COVID thing. Um, so. I have decided to do two things about it. Number one, I have lowered the cost of a monthly subscription to the blueprint bullet and two, four 99 for your first three months, uh, which is about as low as you can get less than what a cup of coffee these
[00:03:22] Carl Lanore: [00:03:22] well, let's be honest.
[00:03:23] There's a lot of people that have heard about the blueprint Bolton and for whatever reason they have just sat on the fence. So the idea behind this promotion is to do this. Too. It's such a ridiculous offer. We think a lot of people are gonna take advantage of it for 99, for three months of the bulletin.
[00:03:39] And once you have it
[00:03:40] Coach Rob Regish: [00:03:40] ready,
[00:03:41] Carl Lanore: [00:03:41] and once you have it, we know what's going to happen. You're going to want this information. Month after month, it's a small amount of pay to pay for a vast amount of information that coach Rob puts together every single month. Plus let's not forget access to everything in the blueprint.
[00:03:59] Bolton vault.
[00:04:02] [00:04:00] Coach Rob Regish: [00:04:02] And a free and a free sample, the issue or at least topics. So you can see the kind of work that I put into it. So my, my real goal here, my objective is to get people to try it because I know like you said, once they see what's in there and what's coming every 30 days, they're going to like it.
[00:04:21] My favorite testimonial is a guy who signed up during one of the specials. He said, um, I fully intended. So subscribe for 30 days. I forget what the spec might've been tired to
[00:04:32] Carl Lanore: [00:04:32] kick the tire, right. He was going to take you off or kick the tire, right.
[00:04:35] Coach Rob Regish: [00:04:35] That was like five years ago. And he, you know, he. He writes to me all the time.
[00:04:40] And he, he very much liked, um, the tip on antichrist team, which is an interesting story. And, and, you know, related to that next month, I will be debuting a compound, which has been shown now in multiple studies to increase phosphocreatine stores within muscle, even more [00:05:00] so than creatine monohydrate if you can believe that.
[00:05:04] So, um, Before you forget, go to coach rodriguez.com. You can get your, can download your free sample, uh, and you can use the code SHR to get the first three months at less than $5 a month and access to almost a hundred back issues now. Um, that's, uh, you know, that's our best offer ever. And, um, I'm proud to say a lot of people have already taken us up on it and like got a lot of nice, really, really nice emails too.
[00:05:36] So, um, thank you to you guys. And I look forward to the rest of you who want to give it a try.
[00:05:42] Carl Lanore: [00:05:42] So there you go, go to dot com. Use the code SHR and get three months of the blueprint Bolton for the flat fee of four 99. If you don't like it, cancel it. That's it. I predict you're going to like it because you know, my, my old saying is if, if I read a book and I get one thing [00:06:00] out of it, just one.
[00:06:01] I'm ahead of the game, because once you learn something that you use day in and day out, week in and week out, month in and month out, year in and year out, it is so worth whatever you paid for the book and the time it took you to read it. So there you go. Check it out. All right. So we're going to get right to the first question.
[00:06:17] It comes from Mark. Callus I believe is his name. Yeah. I've heard you say two cycle, most supplements, any exceptions to that rule?
[00:06:27] Coach Rob Regish: [00:06:27] Yeah. You know? Um, well, first thing first, there are always exceptions. Right? And so it goes with supplements too, when it comes to what stays and what goes. Um, I have a few hard and fast rules.
[00:06:41] That I live by and rule number one is I will categorize things pretty much into two classes. The first is stuff for general health and maintenance state staples, if you will. Um, and then the second stuff for performance enhancement slash more exotic stuff, or maybe something new, [00:07:00] right. That I read about in the bullet.
[00:07:01] And then I say, yeah, you know what I want to try. That sounds like it might have potential. So, um, staples. As they're known would include things like fish oil, vitamin C vitamin E green tea, right. EGC G uh, and I top those off by taking two to three capsules of tranquility in five days out of seven. And TQ is just a nice one stop shopping type product that gives me.
[00:07:30] Gives you five different, um, nutraceuticals, antioxidants and adaptogens. So that's curcumin, ashwagandha, Rhodiola, Astra, xanthan, and five HTP. And also as, as a result of what I learned on this show and what's benefiting, not just me, but more importantly, my wife in her battles with spin skin cancer. I take a gram of ginger a day, uh, as a preventative against just about everything.
[00:07:58] If you read the [00:08:00] research over the years, I have also found value in adding the following things, uh, TMG track Buffalo glycine, sometimes known as betaine vitamin K too. Which will help in preventing calcification of the arteries can Fasten thin during those months where I'm getting a lot of sunshine and I want to protect against burns and other issues.
[00:08:22] And they settle, assisting a magnesium, either citrate colonate or aspirate, a highly absorbable form, a vitamin D and melatonin, you know, so you can add those to the list as well. Almost all of those are very inexpensive, very reasonable. Right items to be taking. Um, and so almost all of them stay in the mix pretty much all year, all year long.
[00:08:47] I also want to make one other important point because they know they've gotten a bad rap lately and that's this, I am a big believer in the antioxidants. I always have been. I I'm convinced that they are crucial [00:09:00] to your overall health and anti-aging and cellular repair. So that's just my take on things on the performance enhancement side.
[00:09:09] I pretty much keep it to two products and that's largely a function of, they contain so many different things. I'll run Sempra gen for eight weeks, with four weeks off. And during that one month off I'll use Progeta directs pretty heavily. They're very efficient products by virtue of the fact, for example, Cynthia, Jen already has your essential aminos TMG, beta alanine.
[00:09:34] Rhaponticum right. All the pro Gemma Drex has the Creotine, the AMA cyclist and lactogen M which is a functional analog of amongst others as such. I don't have to buy and mix up and all their. Individual products. There's nothing wrong with that, but that's how I do it. A glycine or GABA I use at night for sleep.
[00:10:00] [00:09:59] Occasionally, I will use GABA 30 minutes prior to training with ephedrine and, and or caffeine. Uh, that's another staple by the way, as you all know, uh, it hasn't been for almost 30 years now. I will use crates, Tom and FENa boot. Occasionally they are two mood altering substances. Uh, that frankly take the edge off things for me.
[00:10:23] I don't drink other than maybe one glass of wine. So that's how I'll deal with extra stress. I guess you can spend a lot of money, right. And where to draw the line is a personal thing. The vast majority of what I use and what I recommend is preventative. It's very cost effective. And in most cases it's difficult if not impossible to get from just food.
[00:10:48] And so, you know, the classic example. Yeah. How are you going to get gram quantities of vitamin C, which you need for its antioxidant function, a on a low [00:11:00] carb, low sugar diet. You're not going through here. You'd have to eat a whole crate load of oranges, right? Ain't happening. Um, ditto for take two and things of that nature.
[00:11:09] Magnesium's another really good example. Some estimates have up to 75% of North Americans is deficient and that's simply a function of, we have soiled the land and stripped it. With nutrient value. So here's the bottom line. Uh, I think maybe separate things into those two categories, staples, performance enhancing stuff, and use what your budget allows us.
[00:11:34] You know, most of what I use are nutrients tied directly to improving my health. I'm 50 now to some of that, right. It's going to play into it. And while some people will argue with me, Hey, I don't take anything. And I get by just fine. I have higher standards than just getting by and I think you should do
[00:11:54] Carl Lanore: [00:11:54] so this is Joe DAS Rolla.
[00:11:55] For some reason, his security settings are such that his name isn't passing through. So I [00:12:00] went to the website to Facebook and looked and he says he loves EFA dream. And it's still widely available in Canada. Nathan . I tried Cray Tom and, uh, And total war from red con one this weekend as a pre-workout. And I have to tell you something, man.
[00:12:15] I, it works. I, you know, the, the, the Kratom got rid of any kind of pain I had that would restrict me from really, uh, driving my muscles and the total war just got me excited to be at the gym. And I, I even did cardio this morning. I'm starting to fall back into my, my, my place right now. And this is also from Joe Nasrallah.
[00:12:37] He says, uh, Believe it or not. This is the first time I'm watching SHR on Facebook live, hoping I don't get pulled away by a work emergency. And we hope you don't too. We hope you get to stay here all night
[00:12:47] Coach Rob Regish: [00:12:47] long.
[00:12:49] Carl Lanore: [00:12:49] Yeah. So let's go on and get the next question, which comes from Phil. Hickerson. He says, I heard you're your shoulder routine the other day and understand all the [00:13:00] pressing exercises.
[00:13:01] What about stuff for your rear and side delts?
[00:13:06] Coach Rob Regish: [00:13:06] Yeah, you know, he brings up an important, uh, question or point because most guys who bench or overhead press a lot, they have. These big overdeveloped, front delts, and very underdeveloped rear inside doubts. You can see these folks coming a mile away. Their palms will be rotated facing backwards, where if your hands are falling at your sides, just naturally, they, your Palm should be, you know, facing each other as opposed to rotate it back.
[00:13:35] So the question becomes what to do. Um, the short answer is. Is that on shoulder day that I make sure I perform, uh, let's say face poles immediately after every heavy pressing movement. So I consciously focus on trying to lift as much weight as I can in big basic movements for the shoulders. Um, and [00:14:00] in order to keep the rear delts.
[00:14:03] In in line, so to speak, I will perform, uh, some combination of stats and reps of a hundred face polls. So you might, may or may not be familiar with the exercise typically it's I'm with the cable at about shoulder height. It's pulled back here. It works everything from the traps to the rear delts to the, to the back.
[00:14:25] You can also do that with a band. I think alternating between the two is a great idea. Um, it is not something that you're going to do a ton of weight on. That's not what it's meant for. Um, it is simply to address those issues in the rear delts that, uh, that may need addressing now. On chest and back day.
[00:14:48] Uh, it's a different story. Meaning I will lift a lot more weight in my rolling movements. And so what I recommend to people is this, let's say [00:15:00] you've got an upper body push pull day. Okay. Or chest and back, let's say, I think it's really good policy. To perform jump sets, right? One pushing, one, pulling and match is many reps rep for rep and set for set as many times as you push you pull.
[00:15:20] So if you're using, for example, if you're super setting bench presses and see the cable rows, you perform a set of CD cable rows first. With a weight that let's say sees you failing at the six to 10 rep range, and then you move immediately to the bench and you do the same rest as an example, two minutes in between supersets rinse, wash, and repeat until such time as you're done performing, let's say five super sets, keep track of the weight you're lifting, but also the total number of reps you get.
[00:15:51] And the time it takes you start to finish the ideal. Is to, let's say, um, you do five sets of five on each, you know, [00:16:00] the first time out the ideal is to keep the weight and the rest intervals the same and build up the number of reps, such that the total amount of work total tonnage you're doing in the same period of time becomes magnified.
[00:16:17] And until such time, as you're doing, let's say a total of 80 to a hundred reps for both, both exercises, all five super sets. Once you're able to do that, you can increase the weight and start climbing up the ladder again. But it is that concentration and magnification of total tonnage in the same unit of time.
[00:16:39] That is the physiological trigger. For muscle growth. One of the thing you might want to do, especially if your delts are lagging rear delts, perform at least one vertical row, like a chin up in one horizontal row, like a one-arm dumbbell row. Um, and do that first in your super sets, [00:17:00] such that both the width and thickness of your back, which is inclusive of the rear delts is maximized.
[00:17:08] Remember vertical rows for width. Horizontal rows for thickness. You need both. Okay.
[00:17:15] Carl Lanore: [00:17:15] We have a question from someone in the audience. Let me just pop it up here real quick. From Damon SIM Damon SIM says, do you guys have any recommendation on how to deal slash heal? A partially torn tricep muscle? I think it's been muscly says bell, but.
[00:17:32] Coach Rob Regish: [00:17:32] What do you think? Well, that's a tough one. Um, because there are all different types of quote unquote, partial tears. I saw a guy yesterday that had a partial tear that he's been dealing with during this whole thing. And what the doctor told him was you can try to rehab it and needless to say, you're not going to be handling world record.
[00:17:56] Poundages. You're not going to be doing anything too [00:18:00] intense. You're objective in my mind. And to any injury like that is after getting a correct diagnosis, improving blood flow. And if the weights prove to be problematic, then I would highly encourage you to, um, perform sled dragging. You know, for, in any type of extension type of exercise like this.
[00:18:25] Why? Because you don't get quite the centric that you do with the weights it's blood flow and blood flow is what will heal the injury. If it doesn't require surgery. Other than that, I would recommend BPC one 57 and or CSUs quadrangular terrace. Uh, something standardized to 5% or less key to steroids, the lower percentage extracts, do a better job healing, tendons, ligaments, and muscles, the higher percentage extracts, those being 10% or above, do a better [00:19:00] job at, um, let's call let's call it, uh, body recomposition purposes.
[00:19:07] Those would be my tips.
[00:19:09] Carl Lanore: [00:19:09] Okay. So a tear, a torn muscle is it could be a lot of things, right? Is it torn in the muscle belly? Maybe that's what he meant. Bell belly. If it's a tear in the muscle belly, it's prone to heal properly. The key, the key here is to keep it flexible, to keep it from developing scar tissue that actually makes this a rigid area in the muscle and prone to tearing again.
[00:19:32] So I would, I would do very lightweight and I would do. Full range type stuff, but very, very light. If you feel any burning sensation in the area, just stop muscle belly tear. He says good. Okay. So did, this is easy to actually deal with. This is a better tear if you tear, um,
[00:19:49] Coach Rob Regish: [00:19:49] Uh,
[00:19:50] Carl Lanore: [00:19:50] soft tissue. Yeah. If you, if you, yeah, if you tear a tendon or ligament, these tears are problematic.
[00:19:57] They're hard to, uh, to [00:20:00] recover from harder. They take longer, they're a vascular and the, just the other issues with it that are just mechanical issues, but the muscle belly wants to heal properly. So you have the facia, that's torn. That's the soft tissue, but that's the finished portion of it. And the rest of it is going to be actual muscle tissue itself.
[00:20:17] The thing that I would tell you to do is a do very, very light, full range stuff every day, every day. Because if you don't, then the days that you don't do it, then the tissue is going to heal in such a way. So, so you want, you want the tissue to heal so that the muscle can still have full range of motion.
[00:20:37] If you just leave the muscle alone, it's going to create this. This wealth of necrotic tissue, scar tissue on it. And that's never going to be flexible, but flexible again, it's going to be like the bead on, on, on a, on a welding job. And so you want to do full range of motion, flexibility, work to keep that muscle.
[00:20:57] You know, maybe three, four times a day, real light stuff. And [00:21:00] then you want to inject directly into the site, not into the muscle, but just underneath the skin. And you sit at the triceps, you're going to have to get somebody to help you with this, but you want to inject both BPC one 57 at a half a milligram, twice a day.
[00:21:13] And you want to get IGF one EDC mechanical growth factor MGF but not the pegylated version. You don't want the peg to could the pegylated version of this long acting. MGF. And I think it's contrary to our, what our physiology actually wants. You want just the regular old MGF it doesn't have a long half life in the body, but you want to inject about a half a milligram of that directly into the same area where the BPC is going and you can put them both in the same insulin syringe.
[00:21:42] So you got a half a. Half a milligram of BPC, one for the seven and a half milligram of account of growth factor. Uh, IGF one sec, not the pegylated version. Do that twice a day for about a week or two, you'll start noticing healing really, really, really fast. When I detach the three attachments in my hamstring, I [00:22:00] actually injected.
[00:22:01] BPC and McConnell growth factor four times a day into that area. And I was actually, and I continued to train my, my, my tricep, my, my, uh, quads, because I wanted that stretch, that stretch. I wanted that stretch in the hamstring and, and sure enough, I mean, I came back so fast and I, my, my hamstrings are just the one on the left with three attachments missing is just as strong as the one on the right.
[00:22:28] So that's, that's the protocol that I would use. Okay, so now we're going to take our first commercial break. So here's what to do when to take a quick commercial break. And when we come back, we have lots more questions. The next question looks like it comes from Steve Williams. Uh, if you're listening live, we'll be getting to your question and don't forget if you post questions now here on Facebook or.
[00:22:48] A YouTube, we will answer your questions. You just have to be patient. We will get to your questions. If you can't stay for the whole time, ask you a question, go do what you gotta do. You can always come back to the video later and watch it. [00:23:00] Then stay tuned. We'll be right back with more of the blueprint.
[00:23:02] Palo Alto
[00:23:03] Coach Rob Regish: [00:23:03] is the superhuman
[00:23:04] Carl Lanore: [00:23:04] channel evolution just got kicked up a notch.
[00:23:11] Welcome back. And the next question comes from Steve Williams. Steve says, what was the supplement? You teased a few weeks back, the one that you sent down to mass, what is it designed to do?
[00:23:27] Coach Rob Regish: [00:23:27] Yeah. Well, okay. So a couple things, um, for obvious reasons, I can't really say much about, you know, about it, given that it's in development, I can say this, it's showing a lot of promise.
[00:23:42] Um, a. It was going to be a four ingredient product instill probably will be a fifth ingredient was sent down to mass this week to swap out for one of the others to see if it could be improved even [00:24:00] further. But, you know, needless to say, I'm really, really excited about it. Um, because you know, when you work.
[00:24:06] Hard on something for a long time and it's starting to look real good. Right? You don't, you get excited. You don't want, you certainly don't want people to steal it. And that's what I want to be careful of here. Um, and I'll give you a good example. There's a supplement company out there by the name of high tech.
[00:24:27] If you check out their Lex Sojun and ad copy. There, I don't know what the name of their product lactogen product is, but you'll find it. If you look for it, if you read the ad, copy, it is taken almost word for word from my writeup on lactogen and in progenic dress,
[00:24:49] Carl Lanore: [00:24:49] it would have been nice if they would have reached out to and says, Hey, we're introducing a lactogen and product.
[00:24:53] Could we pay you? To write the, the writeup for us. I mean, you may have, you may have said, [00:25:00] yeah, sure. What the hell I, you know, I got no problem with that, but instead they just steal it just because it's on the internet. And,
[00:25:06] Coach Rob Regish: [00:25:06] and literally not only did they steal that they then went and stole a lot of my forum posts yeah.
[00:25:16] Carl Lanore: [00:25:16] So, I mean, is it, is it obvious to anybody that they just copied and pasted them or did they, did they reword them or did they do anything to try to distance themselves from obviously plagiarizing your, your stuff?
[00:25:29] Coach Rob Regish: [00:25:29] In most cases, it's literally word for word here and there. They changed the word. Um, but it's, it's just blatant, you know?
[00:25:37] And, and look, you know, when their CEO is a convicted felon, I guess it shouldn't surprise me, but the point I'm making is, um, I don't want that to happen again here. Right. And, and unfortunately these people are out there, so I have to. To stay away from the bottom dwellers. So to speak in this, in this business, we know I can tell [00:26:00] you this, the product is designed to be taken at night time.
[00:26:05] And it has a rather profound effect on sleep. Um, what's some body recomposition properties that are really the ones that we're zeroing in on. Now. We're very pleased with the way it contributes to sleep. We think this is going to help a lot of people, right? Given what the chronic sleep deficit is in this country, but more important than that, um, you know, look, a lot of different things can knock you out.
[00:26:34] The trick here is to work with your body, uh, given what it does after you fall into a deep sleep and build a bigger, better, and leaner you. And so that is what is being kind of fine tuned right now. We know it works well. We're happy with, like I said, one part of it, it's just the other now [00:27:00] mixability and these deals, some of the practical matters that you run into when you do a product.
[00:27:05] It's, it'd be great. If you just came up, Hey, get these four ingredients, throw them altogether. You know, it works fine. Mixability is an issue with two of these four key ingredients. So, um, We're going to, we could be a number of things we could try to. Micronize it. You say it to the lab, you know, can you guys micronize this?
[00:27:26] Micronize it. Um, that's that's one possible solution. Another is a two part formula, right? One is a powder. Then the other one is in cat and the other part of it is encapsulated. And you know, the third possibility, I guess, is just a straight encapsulated product. And if that's the case, you'll probably have to take a lot of caps, just like Cynthia gin.
[00:27:50] But look, you know, when you're dealing with high potency, herbal extracts, Amino acids with very few exceptions placing [00:28:00] being one of them. Uh, it's not a very powerful, palatable thing. And the greatest product in the world will not work. If people aren't compliant
[00:28:10] Carl Lanore: [00:28:10] with it, you take it. Cause it tastes like monkey ass.
[00:28:14] Right.
[00:28:14] Coach Rob Regish: [00:28:14] Right, right. So, so these are the kinds of things that we're bumping up against. Um, I do think when it's all said and done people are going to be surprised when they see some of the ingredients, which is to say that almost hearkens back back to Cynthia, Jim, many of the ingredients, people are going to look at it and say, okay, you know, these have been used before in sports nutrition, but also they're going to see at least two that are.
[00:28:39] Pretty much going to be brand new to them. And so we're very excited about that. It's just making sure that we have the absolute best materials, meaning raw ingredients that you can get your hands on. And that's really where mass comes into play. With the first time I sent him a Cynthia gin formula, I knew it worked.
[00:29:00] [00:28:59] I tested it on myself on a bunch of other people. The first time I got his finished product back. It worked even better. And the simple reason is everything else was the same. It's just that he has the ability and how, you know, he's been in business 27 years sources the absolute best raw ingredients. So, um, this all, what am I saying?
[00:29:23] I guess I'm saying it's going to be a little while longer, but I do think in the grand scheme of things, this is going to be a product that helps more people. Uh, I'm hopeful than all my other products combined. And that's, that's a big statement, but, um, it has the potential to do that. So as more information becomes available, I will certainly share what I can hear.
[00:29:49] And, and also I'll say this, I'm going to make sure once this thing's ready, S H our listeners are going to get the first crack yet. Absolutely.
[00:29:59] Carl Lanore: [00:29:59] This is [00:30:00] Patrick Rogers. For some reason, I said that this, uh, video platform
[00:30:04] Coach Rob Regish: [00:30:04] has some photo security issues and
[00:30:05] Carl Lanore: [00:30:05] some
[00:30:06] Coach Rob Regish: [00:30:06] people's security settings on their Facebook pages
[00:30:08] Carl Lanore: [00:30:08] don't allow the pass through of their names.
[00:30:10] I don't know what it is. I have to figure it out so that I can have people
[00:30:13] Coach Rob Regish: [00:30:13] do something different.
[00:30:15] Carl Lanore: [00:30:15] Patrick Rogers is saying he took advantage of the SHR deal on the be strong bands. I can't wait to hear your feedback. After the first week after the, just after the first week, I want to hear from you really.
[00:30:26] I'll have you on the show cause Patrick. Like of all the people in my audience, you know, Patrick is an extra young man. He ran strongman competitions. Uh, he is a rancher. He is a farmer. He is,
[00:30:40] Coach Rob Regish: [00:30:40] uh, you know,
[00:30:41] Carl Lanore: [00:30:41] uh, uh, uh, Hunter. He's a, he's a man's man. You know, Patrick is a strong dude, uh, salt of the earth kind of guy.
[00:30:49] And I'm really interested in hearing your opinion of these things, because I know you're a no BS guy. So let, please let me know, uh, once you've had a chance to, to take them for a ride a couple of times, like within the first week [00:31:00] I have a feeling you're going to say, yeah, I see changes in my muscles that I haven't seen in awhile.
[00:31:04] Coach Rob Regish: [00:31:04] So let's let him amazing. He's an amazingly strong dude. And if anybody's gonna know it's going to be,
[00:31:10] Carl Lanore: [00:31:10] anybody's gonna notice something it's going to be him for sure. So Bobby Jagger is a Jagers Jagers. It says I did my first handstand pushup last week. And wanted to thank you for helping me get there so much more gratifying than a barbell press, other than building up the reps.
[00:31:25] Where do I go from here?
[00:31:28] Coach Rob Regish: [00:31:28] Yeah, this is, um, It's an interesting subject, right? So I'm grateful. I was able to help him. Uh, and I say that because inverted work really does give you. A truckload more satisfaction than just grabbing a bar and pressing it overhead. And if you think about it, um, I think the overall growth stimulation is much greater too, because as is the case with the chin up, you're moving the body and weight through space [00:32:00] simultaneously and therefore, um, the brain is at a much higher central nervous system as well.
[00:32:05] Is that a much higher activation level? You're going to stimulate more muscles. So. Having said that, um, I'm not sure. I wish I had a better way of quantifying that for you. The, the, the feeling is certainly there probably because it takes time just to learn how to kick up into a handstand. You know, that in and of itself is a learned skill.
[00:32:28] Personally. I also think it has a lot to do with proprioception and balance two things that, that are present in, let's say barbell work that are not present in machine work, but not nearly to the same degree as when you're inverted doing these things.
[00:32:44] Carl Lanore: [00:32:44] So, yeah, because think about, think about, think about the muscles that adjust working to keep your core straight.
[00:32:52] Coach Rob Regish: [00:32:52] Oh, yeah.
[00:32:53] Carl Lanore: [00:32:53] So, so that you can actually, so you don't fold up, you're literally erect whether you feed her against the wall or not [00:33:00] those muscles, a lot of times aren't getting work the same way when you're standing on your feet. And pushing something overhead very, very different,
[00:33:08] Coach Rob Regish: [00:33:08] very different. Your abs just contracting.
[00:33:11] They must contract statically to write, just to keep you in that position. So you're absolutely right. Head to toe. I think it works a lot more muscle mass, so, but the question becomes, Hey, you just, did, you just did his first, uh, handstand pushups. And so you did one or two or however many. Where does he go from here?
[00:33:29] Well, Couple of different avenues first, you can, you can certainly build the reps up. You know,
[00:33:36] Carl Lanore: [00:33:36] I'm not really, let's be honest. That's where he should start. Right. He should get to the point where he could do 10 solid reps, which is going to take him a while. Anyway.
[00:33:45] Coach Rob Regish: [00:33:45] Yup. And, and absolutely, I would say that would be the next step is to, as to where to go.
[00:33:53] I used to think that you would have to, if it was best to focus on that exclusively, I [00:34:00] now have a slightly different opinion after realizing that you're able to, to progress in other areas. So let me give you an example. After you're able to do five or six. Um, you can add weight to the exercise.
[00:34:15] Carl Lanore: [00:34:15] So I was going to say, after you get to a certain point, then you had put a weight vest on it.
[00:34:19] Coach Rob Regish: [00:34:19] Yes. And, and, and this is crucial. Most weight vests have small sandbags in them. Right? Find the smallest ones you can. I have a 20 pound vest with two pound little sand weights. And so you take, you know, most of them out and you start with two pounds. You do as many reps as you can, two, three, four, whatever.
[00:34:40] It may be even one the next week you add two more pounds. And before you know it, you're doing handstand pushups with an additional 20 pound weight vest or more. Right. Okay. You can also increase the difficulty of the exercise without adding weight by performing them, [00:35:00] um, on handles. And they make some of these handles, um, specifically for this they're just raised off the ground, somewhat such that the range of motion is increased and therefore the difficulty of the exercise is increased.
[00:35:18] Do not buy cheap. I made that mistake by a very sturdy pair of handles that you can get the most. I'll I'll call it Palm surface area, because remember when typically when you're doing handstand pushups, you don't want to have your fingers here on the ground. You want to have them spread out why your greater surface area to balance on and the press from it's the same thing with the handle.
[00:35:47] So that's another idea you can also attempt to do simple handstands away from the wall. So clearly this right
[00:35:58] Carl Lanore: [00:35:58] now, you're now you're really [00:36:00] activating those muscles to a degree that you're, they have to be precise because you're using balance now.
[00:36:05] Coach Rob Regish: [00:36:05] Right. And, and so, uh, I'll tell you, I've been all over YouTube.
[00:36:10] I've seen how people teach this. Everybody has a different method, the facts of the matter, or this there's no real secret here. It takes practice. And lots of it. You're going to flop around like a fish out of water. Maybe the first month or two that you're doing means fine. I don't have any problems. I go out here in my condo complex and I do it.
[00:36:34] I've been doing it for the last month or so last week, huge improvement in the amount of time I was able to actually hold these things. So, um, it doesn't the other nice thing about that is this freestanding hand stamps, just getting the balance down. They don't take much out of you. And you can practice those every day.
[00:36:56] Even with a bad elbow, I'm able to [00:37:00] do those almost every day. Eventually you will get better and better. Uh, and so just like any other skill, it takes practice. One of the kids that was documenting his little hand standard venture, the freestanding handstands, it took him 156 days. Another guy took him over a year.
[00:37:20] Everyone is different. Two words, just keep these in mind. Keep trying the final thing that I'll tell you, you can try to do. And that helps is, um, I talked before about stacking little formats on top of each other, right? To shorten the range of motion. Take that 20 pound weight vest, throw all the weight in it.
[00:37:45] Stack your maths back up. Let's say five or six of them. Kick up into a hand or head stand rather so that your head is on the map. And then from a dead stop from the bottom position, [00:38:00] push up off those maps. If you can, for however many reps, you can get, even if it's one do the same thing next week, but do so with.
[00:38:11] By removing one more map. They should be about a quarter inches in height. Now, what have you done if you're doing two or three of these things, uh, your progress on the handstands, at least mine has been excellent exponentially faster and greater than if I had just tried to build up reps because in addition to building up reps, I do them from a dead stop position like that.
[00:38:35] And I also do the weighted ones and I've made now you've got progress. Uh, to make, not just on one, right, one way, but three different ways. And so you're almost guaranteed of some increase every week and that's a lot more on handstands and I'm sure everybody wanted to hear, but, um, the, like any other body weight [00:39:00] movement, they are scalable and they allow you to, um, hit a lot of muscle mass with a very efficient compound movement.
[00:39:10] Carl Lanore: [00:39:10] Okay, we're going to take a break and we're going to come back and hit the blueprint tip of the day. And then later in the show, I'm going to tell you about my experience using DHM. We did a show about DHM on how it increases, uh, liver function, but more importantly, it has a unique capacity to clear alcohol out of the system faster.
[00:39:33] And it's now considered a very potent, very effective anti hangover drug. I say it's a drug, but it's a supplement over the counter. It's available on our website now through a company called pure nootropic.net. Um, so I'm going to tell you my experience because I drank a lot of tequila Saturday night and I haven't drank tequila and I don't know how long and, uh,
[00:40:00] [00:40:00] Coach Rob Regish: [00:40:00] it.
[00:40:00] Carl Lanore: [00:40:00] It's an interesting story. So let's take a quick commercial break and we'll be right back with the blueprint tip of the day with coach Rob, ruggish go to coach Rob dot com to learn more about it. The blueprints. Well, let's, we'll drive
[00:40:12] Coach Rob Regish: [00:40:12] back listening to the superhuman channel
[00:40:14] Carl Lanore: [00:40:14] we're ripped and we're ready.
[00:40:19] Yeah, I got to give it another shout out. I just heard a new spot. Um, Select savory snacks. The biltong is unbelievable. I will never eat beef jerky. Again. It stuff's unbelievable. We'll talk about, we'll have him on the show. Talk about it. It's an ancient way of curing meat that's done in Africa. And I actually had this stuff when I was in Ireland, John Bolger, who listens to the show, met up with us and he gave me a bag of biltong and I was like, Oh my God, this is the best dried meat I've ever had.
[00:40:52] Well, this company selects savory snacks. They they're producing it here in the United States and they're doing some amazing stuff. All right. So, uh, let's talk about [00:41:00] what the blueprint tip of the day is, and that is here we go.
[00:41:04] Coach Rob Regish: [00:41:04] Alright. The tip of the day is the world is opening up again. And so yesterday it was back to the gym jujitsu and just a couple observations that I had.
[00:41:16] So, um, knock on wood, uh, the world, uh, at least up here in the Northeast seems to be opening up again, which is to say, like I said yesterday, the gym open. Um, as well as jujitsu. So I had my work cut out for me. I was trying to figure out by reading their website, what was allowed, what wasn't going to be allowed, et cetera, et cetera.
[00:41:43] Um, so a couple observations. And when I walk in there first, it was apparent to me that a lot of people suffered without a place to train. Not everyone, of course, but a lot of otherwise, even gung ho weight [00:42:00] trainers put on a lot of fat and it's pretty clear that the lack of activity was the culprit, but all, you know, a few other things and importantly, um, uh, nobody was better off for it.
[00:42:14] And I'm talking here as well about right. Um, mental health. There are a lot of people in this world, me included. And if they don't get their workout depressed, you know, it depresses me. Uh, some people have it worse than others, but it's a very real thing. And I saw a lot of it. Uh, the lack of activity.
[00:42:37] Could be argued that, you know, they, they could have made their own activity. Okay. But you know, the bottom line is there were a lot of people there with a lot more body fat than they had even three months ago. And so fatter is undeniably sicker. And make no mistake about it, everyone. Every one of us pays.
[00:42:58] So the way I look [00:43:00] at it, though, right? There's a dual responsibility here. Individuals have no excuse, really, because even if they couldn't exercise in the gym, they could have watched at least watch what they ate, taken a walk, et cetera, et cetera. On the other hand, the powers that be. Uh, that regulated gyms and their members to secondhand citizen status.
[00:43:23] In my opinion, did nobody, any favors people who regularly praying are undeniably healthier people. And I saw, I don't know about you guys, but I saw no great outbreak of COVID or anything else amongst people who trained with weights. I saw plenty of outbreaks. Among people that didn't train with them and otherwise didn't get any physical right exercise.
[00:43:52] Uh, so I get there and of course everyone has to wear a mask, at least that's, those are the rules now. Just how [00:44:00] realistic this becomes, uh, became real apparent real fast after I loaded up a Prowler, right. And started to sprint up and down with it. Even if you just rent it with it lightly, obviously it's impossible to get enough oxygen, especially if you're working hard, right.
[00:44:21] What you will wind up getting, it feels like is a lot of carbon dioxide. Right. The oxygen you breathe in as OTU gets into your bloodstream, picks up a carbon is excreta the CEO to, you know, they're literally forcing you in my opinion, to ingest a waste product, right? Not unlike I compare it to drinking soda.
[00:44:44] So, you know, that's something that I predict that eventually they're going to find has major health consequences. So I hope they drop that right quick. Now. There is some good news. Our gym owner use this time to really step [00:45:00] up his game. And by that, I mean, uh, I get there and there's all new. Everything from ceramic tile and wood paneling on the walls, uh, to tons of new equipment and new weights and that paneling on the walls.
[00:45:17] I was really happy to see. Uh, and it's good because until you learn, for example, how to kick up into a headstand or handstand, you will be punching holes in a lot of walls with your heels. Don't ask me how I know. Oh, I know that trying not to come up short and fall backwards. So, um, the weights themselves appeared to be almost all brand new vinyl coated plate with holes in the plates, such that carrying them around for most people is no big deal.
[00:45:52] Right? You got somewhere to grab now. And then the best part about it is this, there are no thicker than regular plates, which means you can [00:46:00] load just as many on the bar. Thankfully, he did keep, uh, he's got 400 pound plates around. He kept those around and, um, as well as the four weight neck machine, he rearranged everything.
[00:46:15] And I had a little panic attack when I couldn't find the four way neck. I eventually found himself. Um, so that was good. And then I walked around the corner into the power area. And behold there's a monolift, which I was told alone, cost him about $5,000. So new power racks, new leg press new monolift new weights.
[00:46:43] Uh, I saw some new hammer strength equipment, a new reverse hyper, and I was told by the owner that there's still more on the way. He probably correctly deduced that a certain number of folks wouldn't be coming back. And that [00:47:00] opened up garage gyms or, you know, underground, AKA trained at home from now gyms.
[00:47:06] And, you know, didn't need a membership. Uh, this is technically a club fitness, but it retains its strong Gold's gym roots. Uh, I also noticed some new, some new science he put up on the walls, which read as follows real gym, real weights, real results. Which means this right. He's doubling down on the fact, this is a real gym, not a breeding ground for mediocrity like planet, you know what, uh, which was a true move.
[00:47:39] I thought, because these kinds of places, real gyms are getting fewer and fewer. They're almost extinct. Even with all that though, I still did believe because I didn't know what, what it was going to be like. I did my heavy deadlifts and other stuff at home. Um, I wanted, because I wanted to make sure I [00:48:00] get that done first.
[00:48:02] And so then I ate and my rested for like two hours. Then I went to the gym for some four way network and, and, um, the sled sprints overall, I was astatic to be back, you know, and I. I can't wait to return and play with some of the new toys, so to speak, especially that monolith. And then, so finally, after that, I went home to eat shower, um, a couple more hours, and then I was off to jujitsu, uh, which was also, you know, it's first day open, unlike most classes though.
[00:48:37] Uh, we did no warmups. We didn't do groundwork more groundwork, weapons, defenses, or rolling. What he had set up was he had heavy bags all over the dojo. And so we spent our time doing various strikes, uh, on the heavy bags. And then when you weren't striking, he has [00:49:00] you do burpees for an hour straight. In a mask.
[00:49:05] And based on my experience doing that, I am looking for a new mask because like the sled sprints, um, I had a paper mask paper slash fabric, and when it gets wet, it makes a fantastic suffocation device. I mean, I couldn't believe I marveled at what a perfect airtight seal it makes. Over your nose and your mouth when you breathe in, right.
[00:49:34] Or at least attempt to when it's wet. And it's going to, you know, if you're going to sweat, it's going to get wet. Our instructor. He tried to spin that as being good for dealing with suffocation. That might
[00:49:46] Carl Lanore: [00:49:46] well, okay. Okay. So. A guy is coming on Friday, Andrews Olson. He is one of these Butenko guys. He's a breathing guy.
[00:49:56] He's very, very intelligent. He's up there with Wim Hoff and all [00:50:00] those guys. And, um, and the inch increase in blood carbon that people think blood carbon dioxide is a waste gas. It's not in fact carbon dioxide levels. Elevating are critical for oxygen delivery by red blood cells. People don't understand carbon dioxide.
[00:50:19] They think, Oh my God, my carbon dioxide levels are going up. It's bad for my immune system. It's bad for my health. It's bad. No, actually it's not true. Uh, there, and all you gotta do is think about people. W what, uh, what, uh, athletes who want to, um, imitate what happens at training and high levels. Do. They reduce their oxygen intake by wearing masks.
[00:50:44] And when you reduce your oxygen intake and your co two goes up, your red blood cells increase and your oxygen delivery increases. So I've been sitting quietly while everybody's freaking out about, Oh, my CO2 levels are going up. It actually isn't bad for you. [00:51:00] It may actually be good for you depending on.
[00:51:02] Your current health status. So we're going to talk about that Friday. I'm going to completely flip the script. I know I'm going to have a lot of people say it's stupid, but it's not the science behind it. This isn't somebody's opinion.
[00:51:12] Coach Rob Regish: [00:51:12] Okay. Well then that's a new one on me. I guess. The way I felt was the only thing I was getting.
[00:51:18] Was carbon dioxide and no oxygen. You know, when I, when I breathed in these masks, it was horrible.
[00:51:25] Carl Lanore: [00:51:25] Have you ever seen it, have you ever seen the masks that people wear to simulate, uh, training at high at high altitudes?
[00:51:35] Coach Rob Regish: [00:51:35] No, that's kinda, that's not my sticks.
[00:51:39] Carl Lanore: [00:51:39] it restricts your oxygen intake and increases your CO2, which has the same effect as shooting erythropoietin.
[00:51:49] If you're a cyclist or going to 8,000 feet. I mean, you know, one of the reasons that the Kenyans win everything is because they train at the highest altitudes in the world. Their blood [00:52:00] is like pure oxygen. So they, they run these, uh, these marathons, they run fast and everybody, they run, they run, they run after they're done running, they could run back to Ethiopia if they want to, to the there's, there's a big value to health and performance to training in, in, in, in, uh, what they call hypercapnia increased, uh, uh, uh, CO2 levels and, and, and the science behind it is sound.
[00:52:27] And it's what has driven. Uh, Buteyko breathing. It's really, it really is good for you real quick, Joe, Nasrallah says that BJJ classes are not re have not resumed in Canada and Ottawa, and even the gyms are still closed. I didn't know that it's amazing.
[00:52:45] Coach Rob Regish: [00:52:45] Well, you know, then I guess the next point is all the more relevant, uh, I don't want to say how good it felt to help about a half dozen guys.
[00:52:57] Learn body weight training during this whole [00:53:00] COVID mess. Uh, I have more than one. Tell me they were actually glad the COVID thing happened because otherwise they would have never taken bodyweight training. Seriously. I know,
[00:53:10] Carl Lanore: [00:53:10] I know
[00:53:11] Coach Rob Regish: [00:53:11] two of these sick, two of these six guys lost their jobs. And so needless to say they didn't have any money, right.
[00:53:18] For a home gym. I gave one my copy of convict conditioning. I actually bought another guy. Copy. Um, both of these guys, great guys, they've been with me a long time, but you know, I basically gave him as much help as I could. And then coach them over the phone for, for whatever questions they had. Um, a third guy bought his own and found that despite the fact that he had a fairly serious shoulder injury, he could perform most of the movements, including.
[00:53:50] Handstand pushups now. Yes. He's only doing a partial, you know, he's doing the top third of it right now,
[00:53:55] Carl Lanore: [00:53:55] still,
[00:53:57] Coach Rob Regish: [00:53:57] but he reports no pain, no [00:54:00] pain and everything else has given him tremendous pain. So he's hooked now, as well as some of these other guys on the body, weight work, some of them exclusively, which is to say, at least they've told me I'm not going back to weights.
[00:54:16] Why because after three, four months without them, and just the body weight stuff, they look better. Well, they look better. They're pound for pound, the strongest they've ever been. And in the words of one guy, I feel like I have new joints. That's exactly. That's exactly what he said to me. Right. So, so look, here's, here's the bottom line on the whole COVID mass in the world, opening back up.
[00:54:43] Adversity has once again, right. Made itself known in a major way. Some people from what I can see Rose to the challenge, some people just kind of treaded water and other people failed miserably. Some will [00:55:00] be going back to gyms that are bigger and better equipped than ever. Like my, I hope yours is the same.
[00:55:06] Some people. Are going to have to wait longer, like our friends up in Canada. Um, and some will be saying goodbye forever to those gyms. The lesson though, is this? Nope.
[00:55:21] Carl Lanore: [00:55:21] Oh, something went wrong. Hold on. We just lost the internet. I think trying again. Hold on
[00:55:32] all on Rob. I don't know if you can hear me or not. Rob, can you hear me?
[00:55:38] Coach Rob Regish: [00:55:38] Rob
[00:55:38] Carl Lanore: [00:55:38] might not be idea. Rob, Rob,
[00:55:42] Coach Rob Regish: [00:55:42] Rob gunning for
[00:55:44] Carl Lanore: [00:55:44] Rob, but we lost the internet for a second.
[00:55:48] Coach Rob Regish: [00:55:48] Oh, okay.
[00:55:49] Carl Lanore: [00:55:49] So I think, well, the summary is if you could just start your summary over again. I'm sorry.
[00:55:57] Coach Rob Regish: [00:55:57] So, so yeah, what I just wanted to say [00:56:00] is this.
[00:56:02] The bottom line is adversity made itself known in, in the, in a big way, right? COVID changed our world. Some people Rose to the occasion, some people treaded water and some people failed miserably. Some will be going back to Jim's bigger and better equip like mine, hopefully yours, their number. Some people, uh, are going to have to wait to go back like our friends in Canada.
[00:56:29] And some people said goodbye forever. The lesson though, is this the next time adversity hits and it will make lemons out of lemonade because in virtually any situation, you can find something positive. So good. Just off, it's almost like watching Colvin company. Full, you know, come full circle, although I'm not convinced we're totally out of it, but really to see what [00:57:00] people look and perform, like after this whole mess, it really tells you a lot,
[00:57:05] Carl Lanore: [00:57:05] you know, the media has confused everybody.
[00:57:07] The objective of. Social distancing and quarantining wasn't to stop people from getting sick. It was to stop the medical system in the hospital from being overwhelmed. Everybody thinks that we can just wait it out. Oh, well maybe we just stay quarantined a little bit longer. It's not going to go away. The, we, we learned from the Spanish flu, it had three waves.
[00:57:29] Every wave came and killed people. If you're one of those people who. You have comorbidities that you will die from COVID you need to stay quarantined. You need to stay away from other people. You need to wear a mask. You need to do all those things. If you're somebody who. Is going to be a, uh, asymptomatic type of a care, a person, which by the way said they symptomatic people can infect you.
[00:57:54] It's only the presymptomatic people, the people that are in that five to seven day window where they've been infected and [00:58:00] they don't have symptoms yet that are the dangerous ones. We're talking about a very, very narrow, narrow group of the population. But this idea, like we need to get back to life. I don't want to see anybody die.
[00:58:10] I could get this virus. I could die from it. There's no doubt about it. I'm 62 years old, but you know what? I'm not going to stay home in cower in my home, hiding from it because I'll get killed by something else. Then I'll die from not training anymore. I'll die from falling off my motorcycle. I mean, come on, we have to stop this nonsense.
[00:58:28] We really, really do
[00:58:30] Coach Rob Regish: [00:58:30] get to live your life. Yeah.
[00:58:32] Carl Lanore: [00:58:32] Uh, Michael Nipper says, um, remember when author Jones said free weights destroyed his joints.
[00:58:42] Coach Rob Regish: [00:58:42] I don't recall that statement by Jones. Uh, but, but I don't doubt this is exactly what he said in large part because he had something else to sell. Um, but he's got a point.
[00:58:55] I mean, certain movements do not agree with certain people.
[00:58:59] Carl Lanore: [00:58:59] So I know [00:59:00] this is Joe Nasrallah because he said, this is the first time he's watching live. Thank you for being here, Joe. Wonderful have you. We have to figure out how Patrick Rogers, if you could tell me how you got your name to show up, I'm going to email Patrick cause his name didn't show up in the beginning and then he did something and it did a excellent point.
[00:59:16] The next wave is coming likely late, late fall, early winter could be, could be sooner than that. You know, w we have all these idiots out there of shoulder to shoulder riding right now. We were seeing a new cases and younger people whose rioting who's out there, 36 and, and younger. Where are the numbers?
[00:59:34] Where are the top cases coming from 36 and younger, but, you know, they have very little symptoms, but they have it. Yeah. Anyway,
[00:59:42] Coach Rob Regish: [00:59:42] what is hype? Suzanne
[00:59:44] Carl Lanore: [00:59:44] hypercapnia is, is well hyperoxia is having too much oxygen in your blood, right? Hypercapnia is having too much carbon dioxide in your blood.
[00:59:53] Coach Rob Regish: [00:59:53] Okay. Well, yeah.
[00:59:54] Carl Lanore: [00:59:54] And so, but, but actually hypercapnia, we're going to talk about a Friday. I predict that people [01:00:00] will come away from Friday's show going. Wow. Oh, what are we worried about? Like, let's all like, like I'm literally thinking about starting to wear a mask while training periodically, and I don't even care about COVID.
[01:00:13] I just want, I just want to raise my seal two levels while I'm training, because that has profound effect on your endurance. So, and, and, and hopefully when I do the show with Anders and he's brilliant, the guy is just amazing. I've learned so much from him over the years about breathing, uh, and how it changes your physiology.
[01:00:31] Uh, um, I'm hoping that. The, uh, that this next show that we do will literally blow people's minds. Tommy D says, unemployment is the biggest virus. You're right. 40,000 people die. Every time unemployment goes up 1%. This is a known fact it's used in statistical models. It's used in medicine it's used in investment planning.
[01:00:54] Every time unemployment goes up, 1% 40,000 people die in the United States from a [01:01:00] variety of reasons. And, you know, unemployment, according to that alone, we have a half a million people going to die this year because of a cause of COVID and not because of the virus because of the way it was handled.
[01:01:11] Coach Rob Regish: [01:01:11] So.
[01:01:12] Carl Lanore: [01:01:12] All right, let's take a quick commercial break. Stay with me, Rob. I want to talk about DHM when we come back, if you're like me and you like to drink a little bit, uh, Sit tight
[01:01:22] Coach Rob Regish: [01:01:22] whose oxygen for the power of
[01:01:29] Carl Lanore: [01:01:29] welcome back. Well, I want to talk about something, you know, I make, I don't hide the fact that I like to have a cocktail once in a while. Oh, who my kid. And when I do drink, I drink a lot. I don't drink often, but when I drink, I drink, I. You know, I, I put away a considerable amount of liquor and it's usually pretty strong stuff.
[01:01:48] I'm not drinking wine, I'm drinking, usually mixed drinks and cocktails. And so, um, we did a show. Um, we did a show that was, let me see if I can [01:02:00] find it here. Yeah, it was called DHM for hangovers and liver function was SHR, uh, number 25, 15 hangover drug shows wider benefits in USC research. So there's a hangover drug out there called DHM for short and, uh, I'm really impressed that Elliot did such a good job pronouncing it too, by the
[01:02:21] Coach Rob Regish: [01:02:21] way.
[01:02:21] He's, he's great when he voices spots.
[01:02:23] Carl Lanore: [01:02:23] And so this, this is a, all the research shows that if you take, I think it's 500 milligrams before you go out drinking, or even after you've been drinking, uh, you wake up in the morning and you have no hangover. You don't have that really horrible feeling at all. And so I put it to the test.
[01:02:43] Saturday night. I went out to some good friends home for party, with a bunch of us there and I don't drink vodka. I just don't like vodka. It's just, you know, it's like drinking, rubbing alcohol to me. I like something that has a little different, interesting flavor. [01:03:00] So I picked up the, uh, Don somebody, a tequila bottle and it was supposed to be like really good tequila.
[01:03:09] It's white tequila, Don somebody. And it's a very, very good bottle of tequila. And so, you know, there was this much left, it was a pretty stout bottle tall, and there was about this much left in the bottle. And when I went home that night, there was just this much left in the bottle. So I drank probably, I don't know, maybe 10, 12 ounces of it.
[01:03:31] Somewhere around that, you know, enough to fill up a, a soda can. Uh, and, uh, I took the DHM before I started drinking. And then I took one that night, when I got home, I said to Elise, I'm going to take one more just to be on the safe side. And I woke up in the morning and I not only did I, was I not hung over at all.
[01:03:50] I actually felt good. I woke up in the morning and I was like, wow, I got a good night's sleep. I feel refresh. This is bizarre because at least it increases a certain enzyme [01:04:00] in the liver. That metabolizes alcohol and something else. Some kind of acetol maybe it's the acetol lated alcohol. It metabolize it.
[01:04:09] It's the acetylation of the alcohol that causes the hangover. It's the, that's what causes your brain to be all messed up in the morning. Now I've told people. I hate drinking now. Cause it literally takes me two to three days to feel better. Like I would never, ever go to the gym the day after I went out drinking because I just don't have it.
[01:04:31] I don't have the strength. I just don't feel good. And by the second day I start to feel myself, definitely about a third day. I'm back to normal and that's true. The older you get, the longer it takes for the alcohol to get out of your system. This stuff is a game changer. If you're somebody who knows like, Hey.
[01:04:48] I'm not mother Teresa, you know, um, I'm not going to, I'm going to have a good time. This summer, 4th of July just passed, you know, the lots of holidays in the summer. People like to go to the beach. They like to drink. They like to party. [01:05:00] You have to get this stuff. You really do go to poor. I'm sorry. Pure Nepal, pure nootropics.net.
[01:05:07] P U R E N O T R O P I C s.net. Look for the product called DHM capsules. Uh, if you use the code SHR 10, you'll save 10% off that, and this company is amazing. Rob you'll get lost on their website. They have every frigging nootropic you could want. All of it and it's all that, it's, they, they mass spec, everything, everything is guaranteed to be 100% of what you're buying.
[01:05:35] This company is solid, but, but I wanted to put this up there because it's very hard to get the DHM. And if you look at the DHM, that's being sold by certain companies, it's way frigging expensive because they're selling it exclusively as hangover. Drug DHM is good for your liver. If you're on an oral steroid regimen.
[01:05:56] This stuff is a game changer. The USC [01:06:00] research showed that this compound helped people who had liver function issues due to type two diabetes.
[01:06:11] Coach Rob Regish: [01:06:11] How does it address the, uh, uh, dehydration or does it. Most it doesn't.
[01:06:17] Carl Lanore: [01:06:17] No, no, it doesn't. It doesn't address the geometry. You have to, you have to drink water, obviously.
[01:06:23] It's not going to keep you, it's not going to make you retain water. So it's not going to hold back water. It's you're still going to pay, but I don't think alcohol is as dehydrating as people think it is. I think caffeine is more dehydrating than alcohol.
[01:06:39] Coach Rob Regish: [01:06:39] Yeah, especially in large amounts, right? Yeah.
[01:06:43] Carl Lanore: [01:06:43] I know.
[01:06:43] I know too. A lot of people go, Oh, uh, the reason you get hung over is because you're dehydrated. I don't think anybody's ever approved that. I know that that's where you're probably thinking, well, well then it must affect the dehydration. Cause isn't that what causes hangover, know what causes hangovers, the accumulation of an acetol, [01:07:00] um, aldehyde, which is a metabolite of alcohol.
[01:07:05] And that acetol gathers in the brain and totally jacks you up. That's what it is. It's not from the alcohol and it's not from being dehydrated. Uh, we, we know that blocking this acetol group makes the hangover go away. And in fact, people who use this DHM before going out drinking, say they don't get drunk.
[01:07:27] Because it metabolizes the alcohol faster. So you don't even like that. That could be a good thing or a bad thing. If you're going out to get drunk ticket after if you're going out just to have a couple of drinks and you're going to have to drive home later, then take it during, because it will metabolize the alcohol faster.
[01:07:42] Coach Rob Regish: [01:07:42] Yeah. It, you know, it's interesting because, um, I am not a drinker. I never have been, uh, for one very simple reason. I, I I've had a couple, you know, nights, like most people were, I drank too much. And I can honestly tell you the hangover that I felt the [01:08:00] next day was enough to keep me away from the stuff for decades, literally decades.
[01:08:08] And so I hope it's a blessing or what it is, you know, to be able to drink substantially and not be hung over the next day. I think from, from a perspective of maybe. You know, less calling into work, sick, that's sort of more productivity. It's probably a good thing.
[01:08:31] Carl Lanore: [01:08:31] I actually thought when I was out in Ireland, they, they, they call alcohol ism or drinking in Ireland, the disease, I think they call it or something like that.
[01:08:43] Coach Rob Regish: [01:08:43] The disease.
[01:08:44] Carl Lanore: [01:08:44] And I was talking to John, uh, and about making a supplement so that I have a reason to come to Ireland more often. And I said, maybe I should do some research to see if I can cure hangover. He says, yeah, you can call [01:09:00] it the cure then. But I mean, cause everybody in Ireland drinks, you know, the pint of beer or two every single day.
[01:09:05] And, but you know, like so many people have a cocktail at the end of the day because that's how they feel like they're winding down. So many women will have. A glass or two of wine at night as they start getting older. Cause it just takes the edge off. Um, yeah, if you're going to do that and you don't want the damaging effects of the alcohol, you gotta use this product.
[01:09:29] This is, this is, this product is a big, big deal because let's be honest. Alcohol is a big part of our social fabric today. A lot.
[01:09:38] Coach Rob Regish: [01:09:38] Yeah. I, you know, it's interesting. Um, Alcoholism runs in my family. And yet I virtually have never touched the stuff probably because I learned from an early age, you can either drink heavy or you can train, lift heavy.
[01:09:57] Yeah,
[01:09:57] Carl Lanore: [01:09:57] no, you're absolutely right. You know, [01:10:00] we, we know, we know that alcohol interrupts protein synthesis. So when I, when I know I'm going to go out drinking, I don't train that day. Cause like I'm black. Why, why would I do that?
[01:10:10] Coach Rob Regish: [01:10:10] Hopefully it's a product for people that do this infrequently, but when they do do it, they're able to get up the next morning.
[01:10:19] And as that's my best friend's father said once when I was in high school, if you're going to drink like that, you better be ready to play with the big boys, which means you better get up tomorrow morning and go to work like everybody else instead of taking a path. And so in that respect, I hope it does help a lot of people
[01:10:42] Carl Lanore: [01:10:42] that did, but nevermind that forget about the alcohol.
[01:10:45] I'm taking one every day now because it's so good for your liver. I mean, it literally. Improves liver function. It helps the liver detoxify itself. It's an amazing compound. It's [01:11:00] good for the liver of people with type two diabetes that if they're worried about developing fatty liver disease and stuff like that, this is the, this is the product, but it has this sexy side where if you want to go out drinking one night and you take one or two of these one before, and one, after you wake up in the morning and you don't even realize you drank last night.
[01:11:18] Coach Rob Regish: [01:11:18] Is it a, I'm assuming it's naturally occurring. Yeah. Is it something new or is it something that was always there and they just discovered,
[01:11:26] Carl Lanore: [01:11:26] I guess it's something new. I guess it's something though. Cause I, I haven't heard any, it's only been talked about the past four or five years and now they're, you know, you can see USC is doing research into its effects on metabolic disorders, not even alcoholism.
[01:11:40] Coach Rob Regish: [01:11:40] Well, whatever it's doing, it has to be very profound, right? Because we know what a strong drug alcohol is, and we know, and it's not just the liver, right? It's every organ in your body. It's your brain, brain cells for like the whole nine yards. And so if it keeps. [01:12:00] People from sustaining damage that they otherwise would incur then.
[01:12:05] Absolutely. I'm all for it.
[01:12:07] Carl Lanore: [01:12:07] So there's one other thing I want to mention. So I've been riding my motorcycle every single day. I go to the gym and street clothes now because I'm not going to, I can't shower. The showers are closed. There's no sauna. So I ride up on my Harley. I walk in with my steel toe boots.
[01:12:21] I get my work out out of the way I go back out and I get on my Harley and I ride right to the studio. Well, So writing every single day, make your clothes stink terribly, terribly. You don't realize it, but the exhaust from cars that you're, you're riding through with being filtered through your clothing.
[01:12:42] Yeah. I mean, I could smell it on myself now. It's this metallic smell. It's like dirty rusty garage parts. It smells like. And I, you know, I only point this out because, you know, we don't, we don't realize how filthy our frigging air is today. We [01:13:00] really don't because we go in our cars and we have our controlled environmental controlled air conditioner.
[01:13:04] We go in our homes, we have our environmental controlled air conditioner. You ride through the streets on a motorcycle for one day. You can't wear those pants tomorrow. They stink so bad.
[01:13:15] Coach Rob Regish: [01:13:15] Yeah. If, if it works like that for alcohol, then you have to believe it does. So for all of these environment, other
[01:13:21] Carl Lanore: [01:13:21] environmental, another reason why I'm taking this stuff, it's like, I got to make sure that now that I'm riding the bike, I'm not, I'm not protected by my car.
[01:13:29] I'm breathing in like this morning, I was waiting at a light and there was a LG and a truck. That's our power company. It was pretty far away from me, but it started up and it was, it's a diesel truck. It must've been sitting overnight. It started up and it blew this plume of black smoke. And I w I watched the smoke go.
[01:13:50] I was sitting at a light and I'm looking up and I'm just watching the smoke. And the cloud is getting bigger and bigger. And the smoke is dispersing and it was probably [01:14:00] 200 feet up. It was still visible. And I'm thinking like that stuff. In the air, I'm riding through it all day long now on the motorcycle
[01:14:10] Coach Rob Regish: [01:14:10] and that's one truck.
[01:14:12] Carl Lanore: [01:14:12] Yeah, exactly.
[01:14:14] Coach Rob Regish: [01:14:14] Exactly. Yeah.
[01:14:16] Carl Lanore: [01:14:16] Yeah. You know what? I think one of the things we did learn from this whole COVID-19 thing is I think that it would be a great idea. If we could start to have one day a week or one day, every other week where people don't drive to work in the road, you're empty just one, maybe one or two days a month, because that'll have a profound effect on the quality of our air.
[01:14:37] We already saw it when, when everybody was saying, Oh, Covidien, no cars on the road. Right. And then LA is saying for the first time, in like decades, that air is clean.
[01:14:48] Coach Rob Regish: [01:14:48] It's like,
[01:14:49] Carl Lanore: [01:14:49] yeah, just after a week or two of not drunk. Imagine if we just started to say, you know, uh, once a month, you know, w w three days a month, we're just not going to drive our cars.
[01:14:59] You're going [01:15:00] to work from home commute. From home. People would probably be happier and our air would be frigging cleaner. Holy
[01:15:06] Coach Rob Regish: [01:15:06] mackerel. You're right. And you know what, then that's one day. Imagine every other day,
[01:15:13] Carl Lanore: [01:15:13] imagine the accumulative effects of doing that for years. Like our air would actually be better.
[01:15:18] We don't need a green, we don't need a green new deal. We don't need all this other nonsense. We just need to take time off from driving our, our personal cars, you know, here and there. That's all we need.
[01:15:29] Coach Rob Regish: [01:15:29] You know, this is speculation, but if this product is helping with the. No less than the damaging effects of alcohol.
[01:15:40] Could it also do that for prescription drugs?
[01:15:43] Carl Lanore: [01:15:43] Absolutely. I think that this is a great product to take. If you're on a cycle of orals. Absolutely. Absolutely. Yeah. Anything that improves liver function, there's wonderful. Anything, and you could stack it with other things, so Marin, whatever you want, but this stuff is like [01:16:00] unbelievable.
[01:16:00] If it, if it can let me drink 12 to 15 ounces of tequila in, in a few hours and wake up in the morning and not even feel like I drank the night before then this stuff is amazing.
[01:16:16] Coach Rob Regish: [01:16:16] It sounds like it, it might even supersede a Tunica, which is right.
[01:16:21] Carl Lanore: [01:16:21] Maybe they, maybe they work through different pathways.
[01:16:23] Maybe you take to go with it. That's all.
[01:16:26] Coach Rob Regish: [01:16:26] Yeah.
[01:16:27] Carl Lanore: [01:16:27] I think it's interesting stuff. Yeah. It's called DHM. You can go to pure nootropics.net. And save 10%. It's it's very inexpensive on top of that. I mean, you get, I think it's like 120 capsules or something 60 cow, but I mean, it's very inexpensive and it is amazing.
[01:16:43] It really, really works. I would have, I would have bet that I would have felt bad for three days after drinking that much to kill
[01:16:50] Coach Rob Regish: [01:16:50] three days
[01:16:51] Carl Lanore: [01:16:51] and I felt good the next morning. I felt good. Sunday morning, I woke up. I was like, I can't believe I don't have a hangover.
[01:16:57] Coach Rob Regish: [01:16:57] It sounds like interesting stuff. Very excellent.
[01:16:59] Carl Lanore: [01:16:59] Check it [01:17:00] out. Show them some love. They are sponsors on the show and plus they've got every nootropic you could imagine everything you've ever wanted.
[01:17:07] Coach Rob Regish: [01:17:07] Yeah. Are you just on their site now? What do you think? It's, it's quite a, quite a pick list. I haven't seen this. I don't think ever in terms of nootropics in one place, one
[01:17:20] Carl Lanore: [01:17:20] place it's like Christmas morning.
[01:17:22] If you're somebody who's new to nootropics, that's where it is.
[01:17:25] Coach Rob Regish: [01:17:25] Sandra's
[01:17:25] Carl Lanore: [01:17:25] playground. I listen, that's it. For today, we have great shows the rest of the week. Don't forget Friday. We're going to blow the lid off all this nonsense about. Carbon dioxide, uh, gathering in the lungs. After you listen to this show, you're going to want to wear a mask.
