[00:00:00] Carl Lanore: [00:00:00] Welcome back to another episode of supreme-a radio. So we're on a brand new video platform. Uh, no matter what Facebook page you're on, we'll see your comments now. Uh, 99% sure that's right. There's one, maybe my personal page. You may have to authorize the new software to post your comments. We're also going live today for the first time on YouTube.

[00:00:24] And not that I have a lot of YouTube followers. We've

[00:00:26] Coach Rob Regish: [00:00:26] really

[00:00:27] Carl Lanore: [00:00:27] not done a good job of building the channel, but we are focusing on that more now and today. Is Tuesday, which means that the blueprint power hour where your questions are answered, some of you emailed them into on This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

[00:00:45] Others ask them live during the show, and we're going to get started with coach Rob rubbish in just a second. Before we do that, we have to thank our title sponsor, and that is of course, legendary foods. The makers of the amazing [00:01:00] tasty pastries, which is basically a pop tart with nine grams of high quality protein, less than one gram of sugar and a three to four grams of net carbs.

Uh, check them out. Show them some love.

[00:01:34] They do contribute a lot of money to the show,

[00:01:37] Coach Rob Regish: [00:01:37] uh, to make it possible.

[00:01:39] Carl Lanore: [00:01:39] And, uh, we're going to remove that image. Now I'm getting used to this new platform here. I'm going to play his music. Here we go. Calling all

[00:01:50] Coach Rob Regish: [00:01:50] blueprint army,

[00:01:52] Carl Lanore: [00:01:52] fall in line. It's time for the

[00:01:54] Coach Rob Regish: [00:01:54] blueprint power hour with coach

[00:01:56] Carl Lanore: [00:01:56] Rodriguez on the superhuman radio network.

[00:02:03] [00:02:00] Hey, coach, how you doing?

[00:02:05] Coach Rob Regish: [00:02:05] Doing okay. I hope everybody had a happy and safe Memorial day. Um, we, uh. In all honesty, we're going through a little rough patch. We had to put our 13 year old golden retriever ginger down yesterday. Um, but you know what? It was time and, uh, death is part of life, and she did right next to me is her sister Molly, who's looking for her right now.

[00:02:34] Um, but she's going to be okay and we're going to be okay. And it's a tough thing. You know, animals are part of the family.

[00:02:42] Carl Lanore: [00:02:42] Now you live in Massachusetts, one of the States that have very, very locked down. How have they opened up the gyms yet?

[00:02:49] Coach Rob Regish: [00:02:49] No, they have not. Um, I'm not even sure that they have a definitive date yet.

[00:02:55] I did hear something about, um, maybe [00:03:00] late July, but it's certainly not going to be June 1st like you guys, you know, at least you have light at the end of the tunnel. I

[00:03:07] Carl Lanore: [00:03:07] hope that you can stay with me after the show just for a little bit. I want to talk about something that's really upsetting to me in the face of this pandemic and the government's concern for people.

[00:03:17] So hopefully you'll stay with me, uh, after we answer everybody's questions and finish up. So I haven't trained in two months. I feel horrible. I feel I now I know what I would feel like if I was a 62 or Whitman who'd never trained. It's just terrible fear. I'm not happy at all. Um, it makes me sad. I don't feel good.

[00:03:39] Uh, I've lost a considerable amount of muscle. I can see it. I bet you I'm down to two 15 right now. And it's all muscle loss. It's not, cause I can still see the, I can still see the veins in my upper quads. I just can't see the muscle.

[00:03:52] Coach Rob Regish: [00:03:52] Yeah. Well sometimes your mind plays tricks on you too, so don't be too hard on yourself.

[00:03:57] Carl Lanore: [00:03:57] No, I'm not because I'm gonna, I'm gonna use this to double down. [00:04:00] I am going to double down. So, um, we have comments. Let's see who's joining us already. Uh, so, so this is what happens if we don't have your permission to show your name. It just says Facebook, a user and a, but Ricardo Davis says, Hey, from Jamaica, Hey, and I like your bike, man.

[00:04:19] Very, very nice. Same colors. This is my new Harley, same colors. And Dave Hartnett is joining us. Please help me out by, uh, by saying hello. And, uh, I will, uh, post your, your comments, give you a shout out. It also helps us to see how this new platform is working. He says that he likes you a classic ICO pro shirt.

[00:04:39] Coach Rob Regish: [00:04:39] Rob. Yeah, it's an oldie but a goodie for those that remember it. Like a pro was the supplement company that Vince McMahon launched. And very quickly it tanked. But you know, there are some funny moments from that time, uh, with Witcher for another time. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:04:57] Carl Lanore: [00:04:57] So let's get right down to the business of answering [00:05:00] people's questions.

[00:05:01] Coach Rob Regish: [00:05:01] Sure.

[00:05:01] Carl Lanore: [00:05:01] So the questions, first question I had to truncate, so I'm going to read it from the original document. Jeff Peterson says, I finally started incorporating body weight work into my training and can already see many benefits. I'm wondering though about my supplement stack. Right now, I'm using what most would consider the staples Creotine protein, a pre-workout.

[00:05:22] I also use testosterone to between five and 700 milligrams a week is what I'm doing optimal or are there better products that I should be using.

[00:05:33] Coach Rob Regish: [00:05:33] Well, it's, it's certainly an interesting question. Um, it's somewhat difficult to answer and here's why. Uh, it sounds like he's performing both body weight work, uh, and weights, which, by the way, I think is not only, okay, it's probably optimal, right?

[00:05:52] It's the old golf club analogy. You're going to shoot your best round with all, all woods or all irons. Obviously, the answer [00:06:00] is you need both. To shoot your best round. And that's honestly exactly how I see body weight training and weights. You know, it's, it's using the best that each offers. So when we get to supplement, so, um, I'll be the first to tell you that loading up on things like high dose testosterone.

[00:06:22] High dose Creotine, G H releasing peptides, MK, six 77 anything that's going to result in pounds on the scale and rather quickly for most of those is going to be a boom to your bench press, squat and deadlift. And so there's truth in the old power lifting saying weight moves weight. Right? I mean, that's why we have weight classes.

[00:06:49] That's why the totals in the super heavyweight class are much bigger than they are in the lightweight classes. I will also tell you that [00:07:00] those additional pounds will work against you in almost every body weight movement that you do. And so that goes certainly for things like, uh, you'll see it most noticeably in chin-ups.

[00:07:13] Enhanced stand pushups because those are two moves where you're truly lifting a hundred percent of your body with me. So you know, knowing that you're performing both body weight stuff and weights, I would tell you the following as far as supplementation, the first thing I would do is I would back the test down to.

[00:07:35] Let's call it 300 milligrams a week, maybe even 200 milligrams a week. Now, 300, if I'm not mistaken, is the lowest study dose showing a performance enhancing effect. Um, that I've heard from plenty of guys though, that take 200, that's a, they get great results there too. It's not going to be five to seven 50, but you're probably not going to get the [00:08:00] water bloat right, that you would, they're either, um.

[00:08:04] Which is just a fancy way of saying you're looking for lowest effective dose, whatever that is. Next. Uh, I'll address creatine cause that one's tough. I would either forego creatine altogether, depending upon how much it does for you. Or, um, I would opt for a lighter dose of either creatine hydrochloride or.

[00:08:30] Uh, CRE, alcohol. And so the goal there is to get the strength boosting effects from creating without putting on any more than, let's say, one to three pounds of, of scale weight. Uh, because, you know, even though it doesn't sound like a lot, believe it or not, that can make the difference many times between getting a handsome push up and not getting it, um, in conjunction with that, or in the total absence of any creatine.

[00:08:59] I [00:09:00] run Cynthia and I would tell you that of your two most powerful things that you could use a low dose of testosterone and estrogen would be my bread and butter. If you're looking to get the most out of both weight training and body weight stuff. Now, are there some things that you can add to that where you can realize additional benefits?

[00:09:22] Yeah, I think so. Um. I like an additional, let's say 1.6 grams of TMG trimethylglycine. That's in addition to what's already in Cynthia gym, two to four grams with touring again on top of what Cynthia gin has and something that's not in Sampha gin, 15 grams of glutamine, let's say immediately before and then 15 immediately after training.

[00:09:50] Any, or all of those will result in an improvement in the status of cellular hydration. It [00:10:00] doesn't seem to happen though, to the degree that. You know, hammering creatine monohydrate well, where you get this spillover effect in. Some people like me, you know, I get a moon face from it and it's just a lot of waterways.

[00:10:13] It's not something that I want. So that supplementary then is probably going to result in your optimal strength to weight ratio. Which is really what you're looking at when you're talking about doing the best you can in the big classical barbell lifts, a weight training and body weight stuff, you know?

[00:10:35] Um, it will also, I'll say this, it'll also go a long way towards keeping you lean year round, because you always have that gut check of the workout, which is, you know. Am I doing okay? I'm like, body weight stuff, and if I'm not, what do I need to do now? So that would be the supplement stack that I would use.

[00:10:58] It's an interesting question [00:11:00] for sure.

[00:11:00] Carl Lanore: [00:11:00] You know, the other thing with creatine is that there's a lot of debate out there, whether or not creating shifts, substrate utilization to glucose and carbohydrate, which in this world today of many of us being low carb kind of people, um, we have to rethink. The application of creatine in modern training today, because if you are, if you're a low carb guy and you're, you're trying to run more on free fatty acids and ketones and you're trying to keep glucose levels low, uh, I don't know that, I don't know that the creatine is going to benefit you.

[00:11:36] Um, you know, there's a lot of schools of thought out there, but there, there's one study I remember reading probably seven or eight years ago that implied that using creatine when cutting. Was a bad idea cause you put, your body isn't going to go after the fat, which is the whole goal of cutting because it's going to prefer glucose.

[00:11:55] Coach Rob Regish: [00:11:55] Interesting.

[00:11:57] Carl Lanore: [00:11:57] You know, the little, the little, uh, [00:12:00] separate pieces here and there that move. Um, Johnny Gray says last week you mentioned the equity doing something to increase performance, something different than what I usually hear. Was it electrolyte intake or something similar.

[00:12:13] Coach Rob Regish: [00:12:13] Actually what he heard and what I mentioned was the fact that equity has been shown to result in a rapid influx of calcium, um, what's called calcium flux in the muscle, uh, which is an extremely interesting effect that I'll go into here in a second.

[00:12:31] Carl Lanore: [00:12:31] You don't, you don't, you know what? You know what anabolic steroid does that

[00:12:35] Coach Rob Regish: [00:12:35] trend. Yep. So trend

[00:12:38] Carl Lanore: [00:12:38] trend increases calcium channel activity and muscle tissue and heart, and it's why the heart rate generally when you start a trend cycle, your heart rate usually goes up at least by 10 15 beats per minute, uh, because the, the conductivity of the heart is just so much more sensitive and that's where you get your strength from.

[00:12:56] That's why you so much strong with trend because calcium channels are [00:13:00] activated to a greater degree.

[00:13:02] Coach Rob Regish: [00:13:02] Yeah, I remember you saying that. Um, but it's interesting that it does it, you know, I'm sure not to the same extent,

[00:13:08] Carl Lanore: [00:13:08] but still, that's a wonderful aspect that, that, that, that actually does that it's really great.

[00:13:12] Coach Rob Regish: [00:13:12] Right. And, and so, you know, way back in 2012 when I was asked to do my first product since the gym, I was aware. That act. He did have this effect. I admittedly didn't fully understand it at the time. The first study pointing to the fact that it did. This was published a couple of years beforehand in 2010 fortunately for me though, my intuition was correct and so far as I have the right ingredients in the right amounts for this too.

[00:13:45] Really works so that it could leverage it. So let's talk about why this calcium is important. Calcium flux in both muscle contraction and anabolic signaling. So the sarcoplasmic reticulum. [00:14:00] Is where these calcium ions are stored, which are released when a muscle cell is stimulated, which is to say mechanically loaded.

[00:14:09] When you lift weights, the calcium ions, um, then enable the whole crossbridge muscular contraction cycle to occur. And that's a gross oversimplification. But if you think about it like this, uh, it starts, that whole process starts and ends with calcium. Which should tell you something about how important it is right now.

[00:14:33] ATP is also another major player there. Um, and just remember that for a little bit later. Now, you know, if you're, if you're thinking about it, you're F you first might be tempted to say, Hey, let's just hammer a bunch of calcium and increase the body's calcium supply the same way we do create a team. The problem is that.

[00:14:57] Um, the body maintains a very tightly [00:15:00] regulated pool of calcium, so you can actually increase the total amount, um, what's being, what you, what you can do is you can increase the rate. Of that calcium flux. So it's, it's here, right, where we can start optimizing the whole process. And it turns out, like I said, prior equity does this, and specifically it was mentioned in rhaponticum.

[00:15:28] I don't want people to take my word for this. You can go out to pub med, you know, the pub med ID is two Oh three. Six, three, two, three, seven for the study, which was titled the steroids elicit a rapid calcium flux leading to AKT activation and increased protein synthesis in skeletal muscle cells. Now, that alone is a very powerful mechanism to leverage.

[00:15:57] But I didn't stop there for [00:16:00] the, for, uh, for a very good reason. And that reason is we're getting back down into ATP. So while it's true, you can't Mac, you know, you can't change really, your calcium levels. We do know that you can maximize cellular ATP via what? Via creatine, which is all well and good. Um, but I wanted something even a little bit more than that.

[00:16:25] And so instead of using, and I didn't want the water. So instead of using creatine, I use two other compounds, one called elevate ATP, which is an orally active ATP as well as organic acid. And so. It turns out that the combination of those two ingredients not only increases cellular ATP, but it rapidly regenerates it as it's used up, for example, when it's depleted during a workout, um, [00:17:00] orotic acid alone regenerates ATP in three different ways, not just one.

[00:17:05] It's not a one trick pony. He does a lot of different things. Um, and so that increase in cellular energy then that. Cynthia and gives you, uh, is not only ATP, it is boosting muscle glycogen. Um, it explains the enhanced performance effect that you see in the animal studies. And now human studies on act, the steroids, and in particular, I'm talking about the most demanding test of all of cellular energy, which is forcing those poor little rats to swim until they drought.

[00:17:42] You know, in those tests, the rats that got active steroids swim 22% longer than controls and enforced running tests, they went 32% farther. So here's the bottom line. It's [00:18:00] clear that ACTIS Generon works through a yet another mechanism here. Right, which makes three now. Uh, and in the near future I do plan to go in depth, uh, with my folks about trying to leverage this effect even further.

[00:18:17] The goal, and I believe it's possible, is to have an almost instant strength increase of 5% at least 5% which doesn't sound like a lot until you realize it's 15 pounds on a 300 pound lift, 20 on 400. Uh, and so on and so forth. You know, as the numbers get bigger, so does that 5%. So, uh, you know, if you're on my list, so to speak, look for that, for that in another month.

[00:18:45] If you're not, just understand the quality of these Jeroen product, uh, does, does many, many different good things for you, whether it's mine or someone else's.

[00:18:57] Carl Lanore: [00:18:57] So, uh, Jan, uh, Kowalski [00:19:00] says, what about Argentine for better nutrient absorption three times during the day? I've never been a fan of, of Argentine or I do like Argentine alphaketoglutarate, but for the alphaketoglutarate portion, a lot of the research on our Janine has failed to show that it's effective at doing anything unless you take such a large dose that you end up with osmotic diarrhea.

[00:19:22] What do you think about this?

[00:19:24] Coach Rob Regish: [00:19:24] Well, I would say, if you're going to use it for what he's proposing, a nutrient delivery and associated blood flow

[00:19:31] Carl Lanore: [00:19:31] oxide, he's talking about nitric oxide at that point in time. Right.

[00:19:34] Coach Rob Regish: [00:19:34] I'd skip our Janine and use citrulline any day. Yeah. You know, six in the research on citrulline, most certainly shows, um, performance enhancing benefits, especially in aerobic activities.

[00:19:50] But in the weight room as well.

[00:19:52] Carl Lanore: [00:19:52] I mean, I use Argentine alphaketoglutarate because it's cheaper than calcium alphaketoglutarate and the alpha ketoglutarate is [00:20:00] very valuable as you age. Um, so that's the only reason why I take that form, but I think there are better things that will increase nitric oxide, uh, Jan and enhance nutrient absorption then, uh, because if you look at all the original research on arginine.

[00:20:17] Oral doses in order to raise, uh, um, uh, nitric oxide levels are almost impossible to achieve. And most of that stuff got really, they were doing intravenous Argentine on all those early studies. I think he, he's, uh, I got diarrhea from creating, can't use it yet. And I, I get it. A lot of people do, you know, this is the funny thing, Jan, about, uh, oral amino acids in general, which creating technically is.

[00:20:45] Argentina is glycine is when you take large doses, they almost always give people something that's known as osmotic diarrhea. They actually pull fluid from the intestines into the intestines, and [00:21:00] that creates almost explosive diarrhea in most people. So I get it, I get it. But if you like Argentine and it's working for you, then God bless you.

[00:21:09] Keep using it. But, um. I think there are a lot, I mean, Hey, you know what, eight milligrams of Cialis a day will increase whole body nitric oxide production. There you go. So, I mean, you can buy it online now very, very cheaply. Um, but yeah, no, I, I get it. And not everybody can take creatine either. They get, they get diarrhea from that as well.

[00:21:30] Uh, let's move on to the next question. Um, this one comes from Laura Stone home. He says, I'm using the 11% solution that you wrote about in the blueprint bulletin. How would you ramp up the weight before the two work sets

[00:21:50] Coach Rob Regish: [00:21:50] this? My answer is going to be very controversial because I do not warm up like other people do.

[00:21:56] So I'm just going to give you an example. All right? Uh, to [00:22:00] work out, to go, I had, uh, I had a dead lift 400 for two sets of five. That was, those were the work sets that were called for. My warmups, believe it or not, looked as follows, three 70 for one three 90 for one for 10 for one for 30 and then finally four 50 for one before I stripped.

[00:22:24] Then stripped 50 pounds off the bar, rested a good 10 15 minutes and flew through my work sense. That is obviously very atypical compared to what most people do. But let me give you an example of why, and let me give you my rationale. Then I'll give you an example of what other people do. My rationale is this.

[00:22:50] I think any strength athlete needs to be able to express his maximum strength or damn close to it. On a [00:23:00] moment's notice. What are you going to do? You're going to get in a street fight and say, Hey, tell you what, give me 10 minutes to get a warm up. You know, your kid gets pinned under a car. He doesn't have 10 minutes for you to warm up.

[00:23:13] All right, so that's a part of my rationale, but let me tell you why. My very low volume warmup. Uh, differs from what's typically seen and what's, what I typically see is that one 35 for 10, one 85 for 10, and then maybe two 25 for eight, two 50 for eight, two 75 for five, 300 for five, three 35 for three and maybe three 65 and three 90 for one to three reps.

[00:23:47] Carl Lanore: [00:23:47] That's a lot of work before you start doing work. So it works out

[00:23:50] Coach Rob Regish: [00:23:50] well and okay, and you're absolutely right, and let's put a finer point on that. If you do the math, that is a whopping [00:24:00] 10,365 pounds that you asked your muscles to lift before you got to your work set. So you know, in my opinion, that's a great way to deplete your muscles, have a drastic amount of chemical energy in that energy that you will not now have at your disposal when it comes to your work sets.

[00:24:26] Now, if you compare that to what I did in my warmups, which adds up to just a little over 2000 pounds. No, I wind up with five times more chemical energy that I don't have. I didn't squander. And Oh, by the way, when I get to those work sets, they feel light as a feather. I'm not, so certain years are going to either.

[00:24:50] Now what I, what I do is an extreme example and yeah, I stretch a little bit beforehand and so on and so forth, but I've been doing [00:25:00] this for over a decade and never once. Have I gotten measured and deadlifts aren't the only big lift that that I do that now what you might take away from this is, alright, I'm not going to do something that drastic, but you might opt for something a little less drastic from what I'm suggesting.

[00:25:21] But in time, I'm confident that if you experiment with very low volume warmups, you will find it. Okay. Um, you, to my mind, you want to do two things with warmups. Number one, you want to, uh, you want to show quote unquote, show your central nervous system await. That is going to be very close to what you're going to be working with or more.

[00:25:49] And secondly, and ideally you want to overshoot that somewhat. So that when, when you do strip 50 pounds or however many pounds off, [00:26:00] your workouts will be light as a feather. It is the same principle as, um, a baseball player that puts a donut or two on a bat if you've ever swung a bat with a donut or two on it.

[00:26:14] And then. Stripped them before going up, you know, if that, how like that, that feels now. And therefore your speed and consequently speed as part of maximum force, um, is maximized. So, I dunno, I, you know, I'm, I might be a total anomaly.

[00:26:33] Carl Lanore: [00:26:33] I know a lot of powerlifters who grab a very, very light bar and do high repetitions to get blood into the muscle.

[00:26:42] To prepare the joints, but then they grab some very heavy weights and just do singles. They do one single with this one single. With that, you know, it's more of a bodybuilder workout when you do all this kind of stuff, that's almost pre exhausting the muscle, because the idea is if you preexist [00:27:00] the muscles are going to grow faster, but if you're looking, if you're looking at strength, it's almost exclusively as the goal.

[00:27:07] You really have to, uh, you have to kind of put your ego aside, grab some light, like coach Wade. When he's getting ready to bench press, he grabs two little dumbbells. I like, I don't know, maybe 20 pounds, and he just does, you know, a lateral raises for his shoulders and he does some other stuff and he just does high rep stuff to get blood into the muscle.

[00:27:29] Then he gets under the bar and he starts pushing 300 pounds, like right out of the gate. But he's only doing singles. You know, he'll do a single and then racket. And then when you look at that approach, you see that that's what a lot of real dedicated strength trainers. Uh, w we'll do two to warm up. So we're going to take a quick commercial break.

[00:27:50] We've got, uh, we've got questions. We've got comments. Uh, you're watching the blueprint power hour or listening to it right now on the podcast.

[00:28:22] Coach Rob Regish: [00:28:22] This is the superhuman channel

[00:28:25] Carl Lanore: [00:28:25] evolution. Just got kicked up a notch.

[00:28:31] Welcome back. You know, brain gate has a special that's available to my audience and nowhere else will you get this? You can actually get the brain gage for 29 95 a month. This device is amazing. Uh, you can assess your recovery and be precise about it. You can assess your brain health. If you're somebody who's having some issues, you have autoimmune disorders, neuropathies, and so on.

[00:28:52] 29, 95 a month, no longterm contract canceled when you want. Um, this is, this is like having [00:29:00] a couple hundred thousand dollars worth of lab equipment at your kitchen table. And you can use it in the comfort of your own home. It's really, really amazing stuff. Let's get some questions up here from the live audience.

[00:29:11] So first,

[00:29:12] Coach Rob Regish: [00:29:12] the

[00:29:12] Carl Lanore: [00:29:12] cure. So a long time listener and fan of the show. Tommy D says, are there any legit studies done on longterm consistent crate? Tom use three to five grams almost every day. And my deepest consultant condolences to you and your family for Ginger's passing.

[00:29:32] Coach Rob Regish: [00:29:32] Yeah. Well, to answer your question, I'm not aware of any longterm studies done on daily use of a Creighton in the amount of three to five grams, which is probably, uh, considered an average to slightly above average dose.

[00:29:48] Some people get a lot more mileage out of it, others don't. What I will say is that there is a lot of, uh, history, if you will, in Southeast Asian countries. [00:30:00] Where field workers, uh, have been chewing Creighton leaves forever. And the story goes that I heard anyway, was that, um, the people that own the farms typically, uh, you know, they can choose what kind of workers they want.

[00:30:17] There are basically two kinds of workers, some that smoke pot and some that you create Tom leaves. I'll give you one guess as to who's a better, more motivated work worker. You know, it's, it's the crate, Tom folks. I don't think it has any deleterious longterm effects whatsoever, including so-called addiction, which in my opinion, is no different.

[00:30:43] Um, and possibly quite a bit less than caffeine. You know, it's about as addictive as

[00:30:48] Carl Lanore: [00:30:48] caffeine. Yeah. I don't, I don't know of any longterm studies. They're probably coming. Um, yeah. So we have some more comments and questions. So Joe, uh, [00:31:00] ferry says hello from Rochester, New York. How you doing? Joe? Longtime fan of the show.

[00:31:05] So samurai Jack I think is asking a question that I talked about in a recent show, uh, how you can make sure that have a baby boy. So this is, this is actually a legit question and I challenge anybody to try this and you'll find out it works. So, um, genitalia, uh, differentiates before sexual preference.

[00:31:26] The, the brain, uh, sexual preference occurs in the third trimester. And genitalia formation occurs in the first trimester. The first three months have lots of sex with your wife, ejaculate in her. So that testosterone is being absorbed, that testosterone will convert some of it to DHT. DHT is what turns a vagina into a penis.

[00:31:51] Uh, so, you know, we all start out as baby girl, supposedly. But, uh, the differentiation of gen Tayla genitalia is [00:32:00] driven by dihydrotestosterone, and that's what changes the, the baby in the womb, into a boy. Now, sexual preference happens later on. In the brain and obviously there's an opportunity to make sure that that happens to be a boy as well, by continuing to make sure your wife's testosterone levels are as high as possible.

[00:32:23] We see that, you know, someone just emailed me and said, Hey, you know, I'm on testosterone therapy and my wife wants to get pregnant. The doctor says I have to get off. I know more than I can count on two hands. Bodybuilders who had babies while they were on. And they all had boys, and I'm sure that they had sex during their pregnancies with their wives.

[00:32:48] So testosterone influences the, the baby becoming a boy. That's my, that's my story. I'm sticking to it. Dylan Goudreau says strict carnivores for three months now. Should I take  [00:33:00] out completely? I don't know why you would create this creatine in meat,

[00:33:07] Coach Rob Regish: [00:33:07] right?

[00:33:07] Carl Lanore: [00:33:07] I don't know why you would.

[00:33:09] Coach Rob Regish: [00:33:09] Okay. Yeah. There's nothing I could add to that.

[00:33:13] It's, I don't know why that would cross his mind, but I wouldn't take it out. Especially if he's getting benefit from it now.

[00:33:20] Carl Lanore: [00:33:20] Yeah. I mean, there's no reason to take it out. Creatine is not a bad thing. If you're using it and you and you like using it, I don't think you have to stop. Samurai Jackson, I am the best.

[00:33:29] Okay. You got name your son Carl. If you have a baby boy, you got to name them Carl. Now that's the deal,

[00:33:34] Coach Rob Regish: [00:33:34] right?

[00:33:34] Carl Lanore: [00:33:34] There you go. All right, so let's go. Let's go. Let's go. So we have a question from Paul Reynolds. He says, what's your take on training to failure? Should I do it? And if so, what's the best way? Well,

[00:33:45] Coach Rob Regish: [00:33:45] I'm not the only guy that trained this way, obviously, but I do have a, I think, some unique experience, uh, as I trained for a spell under Mike mincer.

[00:33:56] Uh, mr heavy duty, uh, prior to [00:34:00] his passing B then as it may, um, I really need to go back to the beginning. It was in college when I first noticed the benefits of performing one all outset to complete muscular failure. And so that we're clear, um, that that being concentric failure there is also East centric failure and et cetera, et cetera.

[00:34:24] But yeah.

[00:34:27] Carl Lanore: [00:34:27] But I want, I want you to, I want you to establish what you consider failure. So if you're doing a movement, a full range, as soon as you can't execute that full range, you now are failing. Or do you go till you can't move the weight at all?

[00:34:43] Coach Rob Regish: [00:34:43] I go until I can't move the weight at all.

[00:34:45] Carl Lanore: [00:34:45] Okay. Okay.

[00:34:47] Coach Rob Regish: [00:34:47] So in other words, you cannot complete another

[00:34:50] Carl Lanore: [00:34:50] rep, right?

[00:34:51] Even a half rep even a half.

[00:34:53] Coach Rob Regish: [00:34:53] Yeah. Okay. Um, so, uh, I learned fast though [00:35:00] that it wasn't just a physical thing. Meaning getting in the right mindset is, is not easy, and it's crucial for your success is especially. Uh, coming from a multiset protocol for many years. Uh, so what that means basically is if you've been used to spreading your intensity over five sets, five sets of five, and you step into heavy duty training, it's going to take you a couple of weeks to get out of that.

[00:35:34] Um. Mentality and the physical machinations of holding back a little bit to make it through five sets. You know? That's just the reality

[00:35:45] Carl Lanore: [00:35:45] because we know this, there's research that shows. That if you know you have to do three sets of something, you actually regulate your output. You know what I mean? We know this.

[00:35:56] The same thing happens with sprinting. People who they will now give me an all [00:36:00] out sprint. They don't give you an all out sprint because they're, they, they, they're actually gauging, like if you say, give me it all out sprint for 30 seconds. The reality is most people can't sprint all out for 30 seconds unless you're a professional athlete.

[00:36:13] So they actually regulate how fast they go to make it last 30 seconds. We know that is a fact.

[00:36:19] Coach Rob Regish: [00:36:19] Yeah. And so that's number one. I would tell you, it takes a few weeks in order to rewire your brain, to be able to push your body, you know, just to the brink in one set. Oh, okay. It's really unique. You've got one shot, uh, that during that one set before you'll have another opportunity to progress again.

[00:36:43] Meaning if you got 300 pounds for six last time. And you don't get 300 pounds for seven, you get something less than that. It's going to be another week or more until you're given the opportunity to do that. And I'll tell [00:37:00] you, that weighed on me very heavily at that age, 1819, 20. Um, because who's not in a hurry to get big and strong right.

[00:37:11] Learning to do that on big basic compound lifts is also a lot harder than it is to say do it on dumbbell curls. Um, but having said that, I found that when I was able to do that consistently, I made great strength gains. In fact, they were some of the best strength gains and the fastest strength gains I ever experienced.

[00:37:34] There's a cost though, to doing that kind of business. You can't keep topping yourself forever. You know, like, like any powerful medicine, adjusting your dose is crucial. Too little and you won't stimulate growth too much and you're going to plateau fast and hard. I would tell you that for periods [00:38:00] of between six and eight weeks, let's call it, of so-called heavy duty training, can be very productive.

[00:38:07] Very productive. You keep that up too long though, and you will eventually hit a very nasty plateau. And it's, in my experience, it's not like you can see it coming. You just, you're, you feel like a freight train and then you walk in there and one day, wham. It's like you got hit by a freight train. You aren't even close to being able to hit max numbers.

[00:38:32] Um, you also need, I think, to learn from Dorian Yates experience for those unfamiliar during was, uh, I think seven time, mr Olympia winter in the early nineties, early to mid nineties. And he was perhaps, uh, Mike Mansour's star pupil at the time. He trained for Roshe Slee.

[00:38:53] Carl Lanore: [00:38:53] He all, he also changed. What was acceptable on the Olympia stage.

[00:38:58] Cause he was the first [00:39:00] athlete to step up there near 265 270 pounds and shredded beforehand. He was the first mass monster. He changed. He redefined what athletes had to bring to that competition.

[00:39:13] Coach Rob Regish: [00:39:13] Yeah. And so he really took this type of training to heart and practiced it and pushed himself harder than almost anyone else for most of his career.

[00:39:25] And then all of a sudden he retired one day. He is still paying for that training style today in the form of injuries. Um. But as I've said, it's worth experimenting with and you'll probably be best served doing so well coming off of a high volume phase, or you know, at least something where you're performing at least three sets.

[00:39:50] You know, some guys, five sets of five, the guys that come off. German volume training. God bless you for even attempting it. 10 sets of 10. You [00:40:00] can imagine the change when you go back. One set to six to eight reps to failure. It's, it's, you know, it's like whiplash. Um, the most important thing to learn, I think when you, when you're actually doing it, is the proper regulation of training frequency.

[00:40:20] The, you need to keep this in mind. All the time. As you grow stronger, the stresses on your body become greater. Uh, likewise, the inroads into your recovery ability become greater in order to grow bigger and stronger than you need more time between workouts now, more creatine now, more testosterone now, more protein, more time.

[00:40:51] And that can be a very difficult thing to accept for people, especially when you're in a hurry to get big and strong. Right? [00:41:00] Finally, I'll say this. Um, it needs to be used sparingly. Ironically, I think the best form of high, high intensity training was brought to us by Dan Dushane. And I think he had by far the best real world application of it, a better understanding of it than most people gave him credit for.

[00:41:27] But listen, it's been lost to the mist of time because what did most people want to hear about from dam wasn't training. They want to hear about drugs. Yeah. Right. He's the, he was the steroid guru. He wasn't the training guru. Um, so anyway, it's a shame he won't be remembered for that contribution, but you know, it is what it is.

[00:41:49] You should use it. And you should use it sparingly and learn from it, and then I'm confident that you will gain from it as well.

[00:42:00] [00:41:59] Carl Lanore: [00:41:59] So Troy Gibson says, I've noticed my strength in my workouts has decreased even though I work out five times a week. That might be why I am 48 now. Wondering what's the best weightlifting routine that would get my strength back?

[00:42:13] Maybe some more time off or better yet. I'm going to, I'm going to, this is a shameless plug. Okay. But I'm going to put it up there so. You can get yourself this, gauge your brain.com code SHR for 29 95 no longterm contract. You can get the brain gauge and you can assess if you're over-trained by using it.

[00:42:37] It will tell you if you're a whole betrayed, and you can use this with great accuracy. It may just be that you do need more time off. How much time off? Well, that's a crap shoot, right? If you use a technical device like this. You can actually assess when you're ready to go back into the gym and train hard again.

[00:42:56] So don't, you know, we have technology now that would [00:43:00] actually be very beneficial, uh, to figure freaking out. But go ahead, Rob. I mean, he's, he's 48 years old. He's training five times a week.

[00:43:08] Coach Rob Regish: [00:43:08] Well, um, I would tell you that that's probably too much. I'd also tell you that you might have difficulty doing it, but.

[00:43:16] Take a week off and then train two days a week and watch what happens right back to me about your strength. After three weeks of that, I think you're going to notice a big difference.

[00:43:26] Carl Lanore: [00:43:26] So I think Jan wants you to spell Dan Duchenne's name. Apparently he'd never heard of Dan Dushane. Dan Dushane is the reason bodybuilders use, uh, aromatase inhibitors.

[00:43:37] Uh, he also introduced new bane. Which became, uh, which is, uh, which is an opioid that a lot of bodybuilders use to quell the pain and became addicted to it. Um, he is the reason people use Clenbuterol. Dan was the guy who introduced most of the drugs that are used today. Uh, by bodybuilders into the bodybuilding world.

[00:43:58] Uh,

[00:44:00] [00:43:59] Coach Rob Regish: [00:43:59] protein.

[00:44:00] Carl Lanore: [00:44:00] Yeah. Well, he brought whey protein to the market. That's right. It's D. O. U. C. H. A. I. N. E, if I'm correct. Right. Dushane.

[00:44:07] Coach Rob Regish: [00:44:07] D. U. C. H. A. I. N. E.

[00:44:10] Carl Lanore: [00:44:10] D. U. C. H. A. I. N. E. Dushane

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

[00:44:14] Carl Lanore: [00:44:14] Yeah. If you do some reading about him now, he had a newsletter, didn't he have, was it body Opus was his book or the underground? Yeah.

[00:44:20] Newsletter or something like that.

[00:44:22] Coach Rob Regish: [00:44:22] His newsletter where he had the dirty dieting newsletter. Um, his book was one of his books was, uh, his last one. Body Opus. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[00:44:33] Carl Lanore: [00:44:33] Guy. The guy was brilliant, but at the same time, he destroyed a lot of lives because, uh, a lot of the girls that went to him, he put them on drugs that ended up really hurting them in the long run.

[00:44:43] Yeah. So let's get this next question in and then we'll move on to, uh, I think the blueprint tip of the day. So Henry Kozlowski says, I've been reading about heat shock proteins. I did my first show on heat shock proteins in 2006. Just for the record. They seem promising, [00:45:00] but how come we don't see supplements that work on them?

[00:45:02] Also? What about nitrates? I, uh, chopped it up a little bit to make it fit.

[00:45:08] Coach Rob Regish: [00:45:08] Go ahead. Yeah. Well, uh, if I remember correctly, he checked proteins were poised to be the next big thing. Sometime after the introduction of the  products have their run a number of reading a lot about them, and I'm not certain about this, but I think Metrix had a product that supposedly have them or.

[00:45:34] Modulated them or something. Um, the product was largely theoretical though. And the truth is, the truth is it never sold. Um, nor is that around today. But, but let's rewind for a second. What are these heat shock proteins? You know what, what do they do? Why would they, why would you want to fool around with them?

[00:45:55] The body expresses more of these  proteins in response [00:46:00] to the physiological stresses of training. And they then contribute to things like, um, they repair misfolded damaged proteins. They reduce free radicals. They increase the immune response, they improve fat. You know, you got faster muscle recovery. Um, some people even said that they retarded agents.

[00:46:25] So all of that's good stuff, but even so, you know, where are the products that do this? Right? The short answer is that until just recently, as far as I'm aware, no OTC product would qualify as something. That could do that. Um, at least to any meaningful degree. And I think the market for seven product speaks to that.

[00:46:51] Now. I do think, I think that's going to change because I think I found a compound that does it and yes, it has [00:47:00] naturally occurring. I'm just working on sourcing it and getting it farmed out to some guys to validate. What I think it's going to do. It might not, I don't know, but it sure looks that way in the literature.

[00:47:15] Um, with respect to nitrates, uh, you know. There are a fair number of products out there that use nitrates. Now you'll see things like creatine nitrate. I think I've even seen glutamine, nitrates.

[00:47:30] Carl Lanore: [00:47:30] I don't understand why anybody would think that nitrates would trigger heat shock proteins, and quite frankly, you want heat shock proteins train hard and sit in a sauna.

[00:47:41] That's, that's, that's the easiest way of turning heat shock proteins are just train first. And then sit in a hot sauce, I mean something that's up in the one 80 degree Fahrenheit range and sit there and sweat and that you'll get a turn heat shock proteins on.

[00:47:57] Coach Rob Regish: [00:47:57] Actually I read his question as two [00:48:00] 70 they were two separate things.

[00:48:01] Maybe they weren't, I don't know. Um,

[00:48:04] Carl Lanore: [00:48:04] let me go back to the original question. Hold on a second. Cause it may be, cause I had, I had a truncate the question to get it to fit.

[00:48:11] Coach Rob Regish: [00:48:11] You

[00:48:11] Carl Lanore: [00:48:11] said, um. I've been reading about heat shock proteins. They seem promising, but how come we don't see supplements that work on them?

[00:48:21] Are there just no ingredients that make more of them? Also, what about nitrates? I like like IC, Creotine nitrate and other nitrates around they, are they any good? Yeah, you're right. He, he's asking about nitrates separate of the heat shock protein question.

[00:48:37] Coach Rob Regish: [00:48:37] You're absolutely right. So nitrates are interesting.

[00:48:40] There is. There are studies, um, showing performance enhancing benefits, and they are, like I said, attached to many a different amino acid and other things that I've seen. Um, my understanding [00:49:00] is that. Like, and no two products. You know, they were there to increase the, you know, your pump during training, which I never put much stock in anyway.

[00:49:11] Uh, they're very expensive because I'm not mistaken. Only one company has a patent on it. What I can tell you is if you are interested in nitrates. Um,

[00:49:24] Carl Lanore: [00:49:24] and getting a hot dog.

[00:49:26] Coach Rob Regish: [00:49:26] Well,

[00:49:30] no, but, but, but there are two things. Uh, there are two sources, natural sources, uh, rich, very rich in nitrates. One of them is beet root juice, powder beets, and the other one that's, you don't see as much of, but it's out there is a deep red spinach extract.

[00:49:52] Carl Lanore: [00:49:52] And celery, believe it or not. And celery

[00:49:55] Coach Rob Regish: [00:49:55] and

[00:49:55] Carl Lanore: [00:49:55] salary's higher nitrates.

[00:49:56] Yeah, and is it a funny, the food [00:50:00] scientists go, Oh, nitrates are bad for you. Nitrates are bad for you, but they completely forget. There's a variety of vegetables that have one nitrates in them. Then your average hotdog. I mean, you know, I guess I wonder why no one talks about that. I get it because nobody wants to talk about it.

[00:50:18] That's why.

[00:50:18] Coach Rob Regish: [00:50:18] Yeah. Yeah. You know those, to be totally honest, those are two areas that aren't my thing, so to speak. I, I still take the position that he checked proteins. There hasn't been anything. There is not anything now on the market that actually elevates them. If there was and it worked, you'd be hearing a lot more about Mike

[00:50:43] Carl Lanore: [00:50:43] and Jan.

[00:50:44] You're talking about using Argentine to increase energy, uh, nutrient delivery because of the increase in, in, uh, in nitric oxide. You'd be better off using nitrate products like the beet root juice and stuff like that, because that [00:51:00] increases nitric oxide to a greater degree than Argentine. So just, just, uh, just the thought.

[00:51:05] If that's what your goal is. I mean, that's something you should look at, but yeah, if you want to increase heat shock proteins, train hard, get in the sauna, sit there and sweat. Sit there until it's uncomfortable. When it gets uncomfortable, that's when stuff is happening inside your muscles. We're going to take a quick commercial break.

[00:51:22] When we come back, we have the blueprint tip of the day and it's a good one. Stay tuned. We'll be right back.

[00:51:30] Coach Rob Regish: [00:51:30] Over superheroes. This is this superhuman.

[00:51:34] Carl Lanore: [00:51:34] Welcome back. I'm in a hurry to get back. Uh, we have, and thank you for everybody who's participating today in the show and asking questions. Thank you very much for helping me assess this new video platform. I really, really like it better than the old one. Okay.

[00:51:51] Thanks for helping out. So, uh, the blueprint tip of the day today is what dogs can teach you about love lifting in life. Very [00:52:00] appropriate given Ginger's passing, I guess.

[00:52:02] Coach Rob Regish: [00:52:02] Yeah. Yeah. You know, like I said yesterday, we had to say goodbye to her. Um, she was our 13 year old golden retriever. She had a cancerous growth on her back, um, and she had begun to show signs of distress.

[00:52:21] And actually over a year earlier, she had been diagnosed with cancer and it just wasn't looking good and that, you know, at that time she was our only dog. Despite that grim prognosis, we were amazed at how she showed. No, no change in her daily routine. No signs of distress. You know, she still took the stairs.

[00:52:45] She still loved going to the park. She'd still chased the ball. Her appetite was still good. She just had this tumor thing kind of growing on her. Um, we couldn't figure out what was going on [00:53:00] until a little while later. We brought Molly home to live with us. And, and my RA, my wife actually rescued little Molly, which he, she's also a golden from a shelter, kind of on a whim one day.

[00:53:15] And, and poor Molly. And she's scared of her own tail though. She's got issues with anxiety and ginger. Um, being at a full size adult dog at the time was a lot bigger and we didn't think of the two of them meeting would go that well. Incredibly though she welcomed Molly into our home. You know, right off the bat, she shared her toys with her.

[00:53:43] She shared her blankie with her, you know, and she even rough house with her when Molly wanted to play. And so, you know, ginger was showing her the ropes and in retrospect, thanks. She was getting her ready, right to be the top dog, so to speak. [00:54:00] So. All right. I mentioned cancer. Um, you would think with that original diagnosis, she wouldn't have lasted long, wrong.

[00:54:10] Um, ginger was a fighter and she squeezed, squeezed every bit of life out of that last year that she could right up until the night we said goodbye. She was surprising us. You know, I figured that night, um, before we put her down, I figured I'd sleep downstairs with there because. Her back leg. She was limping and, and the stairs were becoming difficult.

[00:54:35] Well, it didn't matter. She climbed those stairs all by herself to sleep, um, together with all of us as a family and that manager, her, that mattered to her a hell of a lot. Losing pets is hard right. I think especially with dogs, any pet, but especially dogs. Louis Louie Simmons joke once [00:55:00] about why dogs were better than women.

[00:55:02] He said, you can lock your dog and your wife in the trunk of your car, and when you open it, your dog will still be happy to see you. Um, they ask so little. And they give so much back. You know it. Anybody with a dog knows it's unconditional love and that is very rare in life, be it from a dog or otherwise, but provided you treat the dog well, they will always return.

[00:55:35] In spades. You know, whatever you give them, no matter how bad of a day you had at work, no matter what happened in the gym, your dog will let you know how much they loved you and missed you. When they greet you at the door. That's what they do. You know? Now you can think about, you can think what you want.

[00:55:58] About what I'm about to say [00:56:00] next, but both me and the wife noticed it last night and I sleep like a rock. Um, when ginger came to bed with us, she would sleep on the floor on, on my wife's side of the bed. And when she wanted to get our attention, she would wag her tail and knock it against the wall. And it really sounded like a knock.

[00:56:21] I mean, it was, it was kinda loud. Um. And so last night. It happened again and it was unmistakable. It was thump, thump, thump. In fact, it was so pronounced. It woke me up and like I said, I sleep like a rock and it rattled the aluminum baseball bat. That I have leaning up against door on my side of the bed, just in case we get any unwelcome company.

[00:56:53] Um, and it's for sure it wasn't modeling because number one, that's not our emo, but number [00:57:00] two, you know, she was sleeping on the other side of the bed. So, you know, do the math on that. Finally, um, a dog's life is very short. You know, in general, they age seven years for every one human year. So their time here is limited.

[00:57:19] And that always struck me as kind of cruel. But if you consider it from another angle, it really teaches you how important it is to spend time with your dog, your family, and your friends, and to make every second count. Um, dogs teach you that. I don't know how else to say it. So, um, long way of saying, if any of you have been moved by this, I would encourage you to visit a local shelter today because there are so many [00:58:00] loving, deserving dogs that need someone special.

[00:58:04] You can be that person. And I'll tell you this, in my experience, you'll know. What dog is meant for you when you see them in life and vice versa. You know? And so I'm going to end with the following quote, which I think really says it all about dogs that dogs have given us their absolute all. We are the center of their universe.

[00:58:29] We are the focus of their love and their faith and their trust. They serve us in return for scraps. Owning a dog is without a doubt the best deal man has ever made and jokes, truer words have never been spoken. I never had dogs when I was growing up, never had pets. And, uh, I feel a little robbed now that I have had dogs.

[00:59:00] [00:59:00] Carl Lanore: [00:59:00] You wish you would've started sooner now, huh?

[00:59:03] Coach Rob Regish: [00:59:03] Yeah, I mean, it's, it's terrible losing them, you know, you know the deal, we were talking about it before we got out of there. Um,

[00:59:11] Carl Lanore: [00:59:11] yeah. Part of the family,

[00:59:13] Coach Rob Regish: [00:59:13] part of the family and, and, and yeah, it was a, it was a hard day and the next couple days are going to be hard, but for 13 years, she brought love into my wife's life, you know, and, and for five of mine, so.

[00:59:32] I consider myself fortunate to have known her and to have loved her. Yeah, it's a wonderful story.

[00:59:41] Carl Lanore: [00:59:41] So I'm just going to put these up real quick. So, uh, Jan said, uh, he, uh, drinks, thanks for the tip. I drink every morning spinach blend with water and tomato juice, and I feel more nutrients are absorbed by my muscles when taking our Janine and he notices that he's fuller [01:00:00] and his veins.

[01:00:01] Are more visible after 24 hours after taking Argentine. So it works for you. That's good. You know, everything is individual today. What worked for you may not work for other people. So when you find what works for you, you have to keep doing it. So I want to take a quick commercial break, and when we come back, I want to talk about something that is not discussed at all in the, the throws of this pandemic where we are so.

[01:00:28] Uh, let's say, concerned about human health. There's something that's glaring and obvious to me, and I want to see if it's as obvious to many of you. Stay with me, coach. Okay. Can you stay with me for this? Okay, so we're going to take a quick commercial break. This won't take long, I promise, but this is critical thinking at its best

[01:00:47] Coach Rob Regish: [01:00:47] state too.

[01:00:49] This is the superhuman channel

[01:00:51] Carl Lanore: [01:00:51] doing

[01:00:52] Coach Rob Regish: [01:00:52] reps with the

[01:00:52] Carl Lanore: [01:00:52] weight of the

[01:00:53] Coach Rob Regish: [01:00:53] world.

[01:00:58] Carl Lanore: [01:00:58] Welcome back. This is going to be short and sweet.

[01:01:00] [01:01:00] Coach Rob Regish: [01:01:00] Sure.

[01:01:01] Carl Lanore: [01:01:01] But this is, this is critical thinking at its best. So the entire nation is fighting divided. Oh, you know, if you don't wear a mask, you don't care about other people. Um, if you, if you're not going to take a vaccine, you're, you're putting other people at risk.

[01:01:18] And we're hearing all this stuff day in and day out. And, and it's made me think a lot like, so right now, you and I, we could start smoking cigarettes. We could go out to a store, buy a carton or a pack of cigarettes and make the commitment that I'm going to start smoking cigarettes. I'm going to smoke these every day until I have to smoke them every day.

[01:01:45] And that is a freedom. That's a choice that I make. Right? Right. Nobody makes me, okay. So according to the, the world health organization and the CDC tobacco kills up to half. Of its [01:02:00] users. That's a 50% mortality rate. We hear a lot about virus mortality rates right now,

[01:02:05] Coach Rob Regish: [01:02:05] right?

[01:02:07] Carl Lanore: [01:02:07] Is it 1% is it 10% is a 0.7% well, tobacco kills half of the people that use it, but it gets worse.

[01:02:16] Of the 8 million people that die each year worldwide, 1.2 million of them aren't the ones smoking the cigarettes. They are exposed to people who smoke the cigarettes.

[01:02:28] Coach Rob Regish: [01:02:28] Yeah.

[01:02:28] Carl Lanore: [01:02:28] So you know, people are saying, Oh, Carl, you got to wear a mask if you care about everybody else. Well, I can start smoking right now. I can take up cigarette smoking and I could expose people around me to the inhaled smoke.

[01:02:43] If I smoke inside my home or my car, we know that that's actually called third hand smoke because the inside of the interior gets coat coded with this stuff and it does oxidize and come off over time. So. No one says I can't start smoking, but they tell me that I have to wear a mask if I care about other [01:03:00] people.

[01:03:00] Okay. In the United States alone, 480,000 people every single year like clockwork die because of tobacco use, both direct and secondhand exposure. These are conservative numbers. This is BS. It's more than that. It absolutely is, but let's just keep it. On the monthly basis. So these numbers are easy to understand.

[01:03:22] That's 40,000 people in the United States. Americans die every single month from both secondhand smoke and primary smoke, and secondhand smoke is a public health issue. Everybody agrees on that. That's why you can't smoke in restaurants anymore. There are some public buildings you can't smoke in, but you have to walk through that smoke.

[01:03:43] Because they usually put the smoker's lounge somewhere up front of the building. So you have to literally walk through the smoke to get into the building. Okay. But nobody disagrees that this is a public health issue, but yet nobody's saying, Hey, what are we going to do about tobacco use in the United [01:04:00] States?

[01:04:00] It kills 40,000 people a month. Think about that. In 2009 and here's why. In 2019 the revenue collected by the U S government was 12.4 6 billion with the B from taxes on cigarettes and tobacco products. So if you take the 480,000 people here that die in the United States from cigarettes, the government makes $25,958 for each death.

[01:04:27] Coach Rob Regish: [01:04:27] That's incredible.

[01:04:28] Carl Lanore: [01:04:28] And that's why nobody's saying, you know, if we're going to do this stuff for coven. We're going to say, Oh, you got to get a, you got to get a a vaccine. No choice. You have to get a vaccine. Or if we're going to say no, you got to wear a mask. You can't, you can't be without a mask cause you're putting other people at risk.

[01:04:44] When are we going to be honest about tobacco use in this country? It's the number one killer. I mean, think about this. It kills more people every year in the United States and globally than any thing. Else, but yet we just ignore it [01:05:00] and act like it doesn't exist. So we can focus on these other little farty things that kill people, hand guns, all this other nonsense.

[01:05:07] None of those. None of those arguments mean anything to me until people say, okay, before we start talking about hand gun death, before we start talking about drunk driving deaths, before we start, let's talk about the number one killer of people globally today. Tobacco. What are we going to do? Something about that.

[01:05:25] Coach Rob Regish: [01:05:25] It's amazing to watch our elected officials act as if this, this issue doesn't exist at all.

[01:05:34] Carl Lanore: [01:05:34] Exactly

[01:05:36] Coach Rob Regish: [01:05:36] it. I mean, think about it. We put it on CSPAN or whatnot and listened to the nitwits that are talking about banning SARMs or whatever their next,

[01:05:44] Carl Lanore: [01:05:44] everything. They're banning everything and they're doing it all in the, in the guise of public health, public interest, public safety, but yet, and you know it's, you know what?

[01:05:54] It's kind of like, it's like we're going to outlaw slingshots cause too many people get hurt by them. Meanwhile, a [01:06:00] hundred people a day of being shot by guns. And that, this is just an analogy. I'm not an anti gun guy at all because that's not the answer, but you can't tell me that we have to do this, this, and that to protect people.

[01:06:12] And it's killing six people a day when this is killing 40,000 people a month just in the United States.

[01:06:18] Coach Rob Regish: [01:06:18] Yeah, and those figures, quite frankly, need to be shared, I think farther and wider because like you said, you're not going to hear those. From the powers that be?

[01:06:30] Carl Lanore: [01:06:30] No. Could you imagine our government just summarily going on, we're going to give up.

[01:06:33] We're going to give a 13 million billion dollars a year. We're just going to give it up. We'll get up. We're going to put tobacco out of business once and for all. We'll get to keep, you know, and there's an easy way to do this, right? Everybody who's on tobacco now has to have a prescription. You sell the tobacco products in a dispensary environment.

[01:06:50] I know people are going to say, but then there's going to be bootleg tobacco. Yes, but if you can't walk into a store today. And buy a nicotine vaping product or a [01:07:00] nicotine tobacco product, then it becomes that much harder to start smoking, and I don't care if it's impossible to stop everybody from smoking cigarettes.

[01:07:10] I don't care. At least put the effort in and make it look like you give a damn.

[01:07:16] Coach Rob Regish: [01:07:16] Imagine. The uproar. If you said 480,000 people a year, a year, imagine the uproar if 480,000 people a year died from Covin 20.

[01:07:31] Carl Lanore: [01:07:31] I'll forget about it. They wouldn't want you to stay in your house, not breathe, lay down on the floor, don't sit up.

[01:07:37] They would get, they would give you all these stupid measures to help protect you and the public, but meanwhile, you could start smoking cigarettes tomorrow morning if you want

[01:07:46] Coach Rob Regish: [01:07:46] to. That's nuts. Yeah. It's frankly, it's a dereliction of duty. Um, and it's, listen, it's a, it is a fault of humanity. [01:08:00] That they are ignoring this issue in the interest of money.

[01:08:05] Carl Lanore: [01:08:05] Well, that's exactly it and that is my point. I'm going to close with this statement. In the United States, you can kill people, not go to jail. You could kill 480,000 people a year, in fact, and not go to jail. As long as the government gets their cut. It's the government's getting billions of dollars from it.

[01:08:27] They're going to turn their back. So this is until someone says, we have to do something to get tobacco products off the market completely. Well over the course of the next 30 years, you know, they, they want to do the green new deal over the 30 years. That's another thing. Co two emissions are down by 25% globally, globally right now, new emissions.

[01:08:52] But. The green new deal. Didn't even hope to do that, but my point is, until somebody says, we're going to do something about [01:09:00] tobacco, the number one killer of Americans, we're going to stop ignoring it, and the government says, you know what? We're ready to give up $12 billion. We'll find that someplace else because making $12 billion on human lives is just as the business we want to be in.

[01:09:12] When they do that, then when they say, Oh, we want to do this because it's a public safety, then I'll, I'll take them seriously.

[01:09:20] Coach Rob Regish: [01:09:20] Yeah, no, I agree. That's in the end. It's good that you're getting these kind of figures out there because you're not going to hear it in the mainstream media.

[01:09:28] Carl Lanore: [01:09:28] They don't want to talk about it.

[01:09:29] Where's, where's the, where is the media on this? That's all they talk about his death from this and death from that. And it's laughable compared to what tobacco kills every year. And you know, and people say, well, it's a choice. It's a choice. People can choose, and I'm all for that. If that's the case, then if the choice to wear a mask, if the choice to be locked down.

[01:09:48] It's a choice to get a vaccine. Those are choices too. If I could choose to do something that's going to kill me and the people around me and burden us financially [01:10:00] due to health care of my choice, then I should be able to say no to a vaccine, say no to the lockdown. I want to go to work every day, say no to wearing a mask.

[01:10:09] Because if you're going to tell me that that choice is okay and it kills more people than anything in the world, then don't tell me this choice isn't okay. That's it. Yeah,

[01:10:17] Coach Rob Regish: [01:10:17] that's it. A great, great point.

[01:10:19] Carl Lanore: [01:10:19] It's all BS. All right. That's it for today. We have great shows this week. The guys from Piedmontese are coming on.

[01:10:24] Do you know that Piedmontese beef is myostatin no beef?

[01:10:29] Coach Rob Regish: [01:10:29] No.

[01:10:30] Carl Lanore: [01:10:30] This is going to be this. There's only one type of beef you should be eating. It's from piedmontese.com if you use the code SHR. You got two free 10 ounce New York strips with a purchase of as little as $50

[01:10:45] Coach Rob Regish: [01:10:45] wow.

[01:10:46] Carl Lanore: [01:10:46] And everybody who buys it says to me, Carl, I've never tasted beef like this, and there's a reason it is genetically better beef to eat.

[01:10:53] We're going to talk about that this week. Hi brother.

[01:10:57] Coach Rob Regish: [01:10:57] Take care.

[01:10:57] Carl Lanore: [01:10:57] See you later. See everybody tomorrow [01:11:00] and thank you for participating today. If you ask questions made comments, I really appreciate you being here and come back tomorrow. We'll do it again. .
