[00:00:00] Carl Lanore: [00:00:00] Welcome back to another episode of superhuman radio. Today's Tuesday, we're going to have the long awaited blueprint power hour. You guys have been missing

[00:00:07] the past two weeks. We'll find

[00:00:08] out why that

[00:00:09] is the case.

[00:00:10] And then also, uh, we have to thank, uh, legendary foods, a title sponsor, uh, because they give this show a generous grant to be our title sponsor.

[00:00:21] But the reason they do it. Is because they believe in the mission of the show. I

[00:00:25] Coach Rob Regish: [00:00:25] can guarantee you that, uh,

[00:00:28] Carl Lanore: [00:00:28] Ron Penna, uh, who is at the helm of a legendary foods, uh, has been a long time fan of listening to the show. And he understands all the good that we do, uh, by being on that bleeding edge of the spear and braking, um, information.

[00:00:46] Faster than anybody else. I don't care who it is. I don't care who it is. The people that are getting praised today, uh, at the top of the food chain and the health and fitness world, talking about stuff that we talked about a decade ago on this [00:01:00] show, and you all know that. And that's why legendary food deserves your attention and your patronage.

[00:01:08] And also because they make some of the most amazing snack foods that will make you less guilty about eating snacks, namely their new tasty pastry, which is basically a pop tart with nine grams of protein, less than one gram of sugar and for impact carbs and delicious. So delicious that. They can't keep them in stock.

[00:01:32] People are eating them three and four a day. Did that delicious. Go to eat legendary.com and learn more, and of course always tell them that you came from super human radio and without further delay, let me get his music going here. I'm a little slow on the button here. Calling all

[00:01:52] Coach Rob Regish: [00:01:52] blueprint army fall in line.

[00:01:54] Carl Lanore: [00:01:54] It's time for the blueprint

[00:01:56] Coach Rob Regish: [00:01:56] power hour with coach Rodriguez

[00:01:58] Carl Lanore: [00:01:58] on the

[00:01:59] Coach Rob Regish: [00:01:59] superhuman [00:02:00] radio network.

[00:02:04] Carl Lanore: [00:02:04] Hey Rob, how you doing? Uh,

[00:02:06] Coach Rob Regish: [00:02:06] I am doing well. More importantly, my wife is doing well and we, uh, wanted to say thank you to everyone that offered prayers, uh, and inquired as to how she, she was doing

[00:02:18] Carl Lanore: [00:02:18] emails from people going, what's going on with coach Rob? He hasn't been on the show in two weeks.

[00:02:24] Coach Rob Regish: [00:02:24] Yeah. Yeah.

[00:02:26] Well, you know, long story short, my wife had major surgery, but she's out of that now. She's home. She's sexually sitting by my side right now. Uh, she's recovering and, uh, it's gonna take a while, but, uh, I have full confidence should be back to 100%. So one of the thank you, uh, to the audience for all of your thoughts.

[00:02:47] You know, her surgery was four or five hours, but it flew simply because of the number of texts I was getting from people asking about how she was and answering them. Yeah.

[00:02:58] Carl Lanore: [00:02:58] That's good. That's a wonderful thing.

[00:03:00] [00:03:00] Coach Rob Regish: [00:03:00] Very, very good. Yeah.

[00:03:01] Carl Lanore: [00:03:01] Uh, okay. So let, anything new we need to talk about before we move forward at  dot com any special deals?

[00:03:07] I know mass pro sent the, Jen is back in stock, right? It's

[00:03:11] Coach Rob Regish: [00:03:11] back in stock in a shipping. So I got that text this morning. I know some people have already received a small advance supply that mass had, but the mother load has made it to mass and it's a, like I said, it's, if you haven't already gotten it, it's in the mail.

[00:03:27] Okay. Yep. Good to know.

[00:03:29] Carl Lanore: [00:03:29] All right, so the first question actually comes from Joe Blanchard, is that right? Yeah. Blind shirt. He says, uh, I was in a local CBD store the other day and I noticed Cray Tom shots. What's in these shots and how do they compare to just plain old whole leaf? Great. Awesome. And how often should I take it and what does it do?

[00:03:50] And there must be something to it because the guy at the store said they sell a ton of them.

[00:03:58] Coach Rob Regish: [00:03:58] Yeah. Well, there certainly is [00:04:00] something to do it, it's, it's hard to imagine. But, um, I first started talking about Cray Tom on this show maybe six or seven years ago. Uh, no, I was by no means the first person to talk about using it.

[00:04:14] Um, but in the bodybuilding community anyway, it was still relatively new. Um, and, and even, even now, there are some people that are just discovering it, and ironically, because of the CBD stores that carry it. So they wander in there to look at CBD, and the next thing you know, they're learning about Cray Tom.

[00:04:35] So, um, uh. It is indeed unique stuff. The chemical responsible for, for its quote, unquote drug like effects is something called Mitra gene speciosa, and it occurs in different levels and different strains of the plant, but generally Cray Thom and parts of feeling where your muscles completely relax. [00:05:00] But unlike, uh, let's say prescription drug like Tramadol, which has a similar type feeling, you get a curious sense of energy along with it.

[00:05:11] And so what I mean by that is I'm not talking about a stimulant type energy. It doesn't feel like a federate or caffeine or any of that. It's more along the lines of. You know, uh, I want to do something productive. I want to read a book. I want to write something or paint something I want to work out. So it is entirely different in that respect.

[00:05:35] But also consider this, um, if you go back and look at its use in its native native, uh, countries, Malaysia, Borneo, etc. So workers in these countries are largely people that work on farms. And they're generally using one of two things. Either, um, smoking marijuana or they're chewing Cray Tom leaves and [00:06:00] the farmers themselves that hire these people.

[00:06:03] You can only imagine who they'd rather hire because the great town folks that are a lot more

[00:06:08] Carl Lanore: [00:06:08] productive. Yeah.

[00:06:10] Coach Rob Regish: [00:06:10] Yeah. But, um, you know, that's, that's its use and its native habitat over here. More and more people are using it for its analgesic effects and coming off, frankly, prescription and otherwise opioids.

[00:06:27] Right now, the FDA would tell you, and the DEA would tell you that it is an unapproved, Craig Thompson, unapproved, dangerous, and addictive drug. I would tell you that they are both liars. Cray Tom, in fact, is exceptionally safe. Let me put it this way. If you overdose and take too much the worst, the worst thing that's going to happen is you're going to get dizzy and throw up.

[00:06:55] That's it. Try that with opioids and the next thing you know, [00:07:00] you'll be horizontal. Complete with a toe tag.

[00:07:02] Carl Lanore: [00:07:02] I've actually taken marginally too much, and I think I told this story on the air once. But I went out to dinner with some friends and I couldn't talk. I felt on the edge of nausea every second, almost on the edge of feeling car sick.

[00:07:18] Like that's what it was like. And I thought to myself, you know, this is horrible now. I, in fact, the past three days, not today, but yesterday, the day before and the day before that I took two grams of OPM S, which was a high quality organic crate. Tom, that comes in capsules. Uh, and, and, uh, it's called SIL, OPM, S silver.

[00:07:42] And I took two grams in the morning three days in a row, and I definitely had more energy. I felt happier. Uh, the pain that I live with and don't complain about, just went away. And today I didn't feel I taking it. And I [00:08:00] didn't take it. So this whole idea that it's habit forming or mildly addictive, I just don't see it.

[00:08:06] I don't see it.

[00:08:07] Coach Rob Regish: [00:08:07] Yeah. You're going to read and hear these horror stories that the FDA and the DEA are frankly making up about it being, you know, horribly addictive. The truth of the matter is this, Cray Tom is about as addictive as coffee. Okay. Now it comes in different forms. Uh, but you know, he inquired specifically about the shots in terms of what's in them.

[00:08:31] It varies. The one I purchased recently, um, for my wife had the following in it. It had . It had Mitch, Regina speciosa, uh, California poppy seed, white Willow bark, which is, we know is herbal salycilic acid. Aspirin. And passion flower skullcap and boswellia Serrata. So obviously that blend is heavy on the anti-inflammatories and the [00:09:00] ante in the analgesic effects of Cray Tom and some of those other compounds.

[00:09:06] Uh, and at the same time though, it's clearly a, a relaxation nighttime type formula. You know, when you see things like passion flower, skullcap, feening, these are things that are usually put in sleep AIDS. Yeah, yeah. Nighttime blends, that sort of thing. So, um, understand this though. The war on Cray, Tom will be never ending.

[00:09:28] Once the FDA or the DEA gets caught in one lie, they just go on to make up others. Now

[00:09:35] Carl Lanore: [00:09:35] they've tried the American governmental way.

[00:09:39] Coach Rob Regish: [00:09:39] It is. They'll just keep hammering away at it. Until they get there.

[00:09:44] Carl Lanore: [00:09:44] Well, let's be honest. Why are, why are they hammering away on it? Okay. For the same reason that they hammered away on medical marijuana and now recreational marijuana in the States where it's available, and that is pharmaceutical [00:10:00] company prescriptions of opioids.

[00:10:03] Uh, uh, of anxie Lytics of pain relievers, uh, of sleep AIDS. They have shrunken in States like Colorado, Nevada. Why? Because people go out and buy a little weed. They smoke it, they feel great. Well, the same thing is going on with Cray. Tom. People are literally kicking the opioid habit using Cray time. You would think that every doctor in America would say, we're going to start using Cray Tama as a transition drug to get people off of opioids, but they're not.

[00:10:33] And here's why.

[00:10:34] Coach Rob Regish: [00:10:34] Right?

[00:10:35] Carl Lanore: [00:10:35] Because the companies that make and profit ope from opioids don't want that to happen. Just like they don't want more States legalizing marijuana.

[00:10:44] Coach Rob Regish: [00:10:44] Yeah, it's really, it's sad. You know, if they really wanted us to fix that opioid problem, they'd be going down that road, but they don't, um, they want to protect their pharmaceutical overlords.

[00:10:55] Uh, so one last thing, uh, they tried banding crate time on the federal [00:11:00] level. They ran into big problems. They tried doing that in the dead of night. Um, and then they were rebuked. And so now they're, they're trying to do so at the state level. So the American Cray Thom association is fighting them in every state in that every term.

[00:11:18] But they need your support. So I would encourage you, whether you like Cray Tom or not, to visit This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and offer to help in the cause. Because even if you don't use or like Cray Tom. The FDA and the DEA, or they're just come and go on to them, whatever it is that you do, like in use next.

[00:11:43] Carl Lanore: [00:11:43] The God's honest truth. It really is.

[00:11:45] Coach Rob Regish: [00:11:45] Yeah.

[00:11:45] Carl Lanore: [00:11:45] I like Craig, Tom, and I don't, I don't abuse it. I use it once in awhile, you know? That's it. Jack Patterson, uh, says, uh, you've said many times the supplement industry isn't very innovative. How can I be innovative with [00:12:00] supplements? What if I order raw materials and make my own stuff.

[00:12:04] Coach Rob Regish: [00:12:04] You know what he did? And this was a really interesting question. I thought he, he posed a really interesting thing here. Um, and it, it actually isn't a bad idea, at least from a creative standpoint, right? This is, um, the way and a lot of great American company started. There were just people that wanted, they were, you know, not satisfied with the status quo.

[00:12:28] And they come up with products and services that go on to become huge companies. The problem, um, is that due to a law that recently went into effect one one 20 in China, the raw materials for at least a lot of the fun stuff is becoming very scarce. So as a one one they had ceased producing everything from SARMs.

[00:12:54] Two new tropics too. Of course, you know, uh, steroid powders and pro [00:13:00] hormones and the like. Now I have every confidence. Some other countries pro is going to step in and, and, and pick it up. Um, but that's the situation today. Sidebar. Um, you could go to a place like Ali Baba, dangerous, dangerous

[00:13:19] Carl Lanore: [00:13:19] danger, danger will Robinson cause you could buy some, you could buy some real crap.

[00:13:24] That's not only dangerous for you to use, uh, but, uh, isn't even what you ordered. So you've got to be careful about that one.

[00:13:31] Coach Rob Regish: [00:13:31] Right? So the, you know, the, the, um, the rumors about quality of Chinese material in most cases, are well warranted. The other thing is Alibaba doesn't sell to end customers, right?

[00:13:45] They're going to want a business license. So, you know, it's not like they sell direct to consumers. Now. Um, well, I have a license to conduct business for, for my business or EIN or a tax ID [00:14:00] number. I'm not sure who they check to see

[00:14:09] if that's really valid. Wow. So the point I'm trying to make,

[00:14:20] you want to go to break car? What the hell? We can do that. I will be right back.

[00:14:32] Carl Lanore: [00:14:32] welcome back. We're going to finish on Jack Patterson's question, but I got to mention something. I think that you're the right guy to have this conversation

[00:14:39] Coach Rob Regish: [00:14:39] with right now. Okay.

[00:14:41] Carl Lanore: [00:14:41] The importance of having life insurance for your family. A lot of guys don't have life insurance today. Guys, our age guys that regularly get you hear that, Hey, did you hear who died?

[00:14:56] We're at that age now with stuff like that happens and there's a [00:15:00] lot of guys out there that don't have any insurance at all, and because part of it is because they don't want to have to go through the hassle of applying for insurance, but. This company is advertising on the show now, big Lou, because I recently used them to buy a bigger policy.

[00:15:17] God forbid, something happens to me. Elisa is taken care of and my three kids are taken care of. They made it so simple. They sent the girl to the house for the blood work and she did the EKG sitting on the sofa one morning. Everything went through like boom, boom, boom, click, and it was all done and I'm paying a ridiculously low amount for.

[00:15:37] Over $600,000 worth of term life insurance, Paul, and at 61 years old when it's supposed to be very expensive, it's not. Yeah.

[00:15:44] Coach Rob Regish: [00:15:44] That's great. I mean, that's, that's a real, that's a very important thing. And, uh, it's good to know there are places where lifters and people like us can get it. Well,

[00:15:56] Carl Lanore: [00:15:56] here's the interesting thing about them.

[00:15:58] So they cater to people [00:16:00] with type two diabetes. So the rates that they had quoting of for people who is sick, they couldn't believe. I like the guy that I worked with, Shane, he said to me three times, but you don't have diabetes. I says, no, he like later on the conversation, but your blood sugar is okay.

[00:16:14] You know? I was like, no. They're used to dealing with those people. When you go to this guy, the rates are better because they're already planning that you are sick and here's, and here's the reason why this is important. Rob, there's another company out there that advertises that they only sell life insurance to healthy people.

[00:16:32] Well, here's what I found out, because they advertised on the show a couple of times, two years in 2014 and 2016 or 2016 2018 I forget who it was and here's what I got from the audience. A lot of people said, Hey, I didn't qualify for what they considered healthy. I ended up having to buy regular life insurance through them.

[00:16:50] What was the big deal of going to them. So this is exactly the opposite. Big Lou is selling life insurance to people who is sick, who can't qualify. So when people from our [00:17:00] audience go in there, they're like, Oh great, we've got a ridiculously low rate for you.

[00:17:04] Coach Rob Regish: [00:17:04] Yeah, yeah. I've heard that there are ads on radio terrestrial radio too, but yeah, this is a great audience.

[00:17:11] I would think that's a perfect fit.

[00:17:14] Carl Lanore: [00:17:14] Um, Robert. David, if you're still listening, we'll put your question up as soon as our Rob answers the rest of Jack Patterson's question, we have a question to put up from a viewer.

[00:17:23] Coach Rob Regish: [00:17:23] Sure. So, um, where I left off was basically, look, you know, you could go to China, but the reality is there are, there are problems with that.

[00:17:33] One of the problems is. Um, they're not going to sell a lot of book material to individuals. Uh, another problem is obviously quality control. Now, the other option you have is to. Look into one of the few, and the numbers are dwindling number of companies in this country, which provide bulk raw materials.

[00:17:55] One of them was a family owned business beyond a [00:18:00] century.net. They were in business for many, many decades. They were the original, uh, company in this country that carry bulk stuff. Those companies are going out of business. So what I would tell you is. One of the things that you can still do is, um, order up some bulk essential amino acids, order up some nonessential amino acids and work, work the ratios like I did to arrive at a customized intro workout made to your physiology.

[00:18:33] And I have a sneaking suspicion it's going to be different for different people. Now it is a long, expensive process. I'm not going to kid you. It's what I did almost 10 years ago now going back to , but it's without question worth the effort and in my opinion, it's one of the better and safer things you could do to bide your time until some other company, you know, a supplement [00:19:00] company gets its act together.

[00:19:02] And truly does something worthwhile, innovative, whatever you want to call it. It's just not happening out there right now. But you know, definitely points here for Jack in the, you know, if they are, if they're not going to do something about it, then he is. I like that attitude and I would encourage others to, uh, to do the same.

[00:19:24] Carl Lanore: [00:19:24] My mic was closed. I want to give you one other option. Yeah, sure. And that is all American pharmaceutical. And here's why. I have had dr Jeff run one off batches for me and a friend, Dr. William seeds came up with this, uh, amino acid blend that he wanted to make available, not only to himself, but some of his patients.

[00:19:47] And dr Jeff was very reasonable. He, you know what the minimum purchase was? Obviously this is not going to be, it's not going to have a label. It's not going to have a fancy bottle. It may be shipped in a bag. But, [00:20:00] so if you reach out to all American pharmaceutical, and I'll give you their number right now, this is another option, (406) 671-8332 (406) 671-8332 that mountain time coaster M and a in Montana.

[00:20:14] And, and you get someone on the phone that's in the contract manufacturing division, and you say, look. I'm not making a product for resale. I want to make it just for me. What is your minimum? You know, what's your minimum is? You know, you may be able to buy $500 and get everything you want. They'll blend it, they'll find it, they'll source it.

[00:20:32] They'll test it to make sure it's what you think it is, and they'll deliver it to you and you're done.

[00:20:38] Coach Rob Regish: [00:20:38] Yeah, I had heard they had that program. I didn't know that they still have it, but that's a, that's wonderful. If that's the case.

[00:20:44] Carl Lanore: [00:20:44] Yeah. I mean, if you're doing one off stuff, they're not gonna do labels for you.

[00:20:48] They're not gonna do FDA, you know, uh, uh, passable labels. They're not gonna do any artwork for you. They're not going to put them in individual bottles. But doctor doctor sees, I think he bought a [00:21:00] ridiculous amount of amino acids already blended the way he wanted it, and the ratios, he wanted it for like three or $400.

[00:21:07] Coach Rob Regish: [00:21:07] Yeah, you can't, you can't do that anywhere else. That, and you know, if it's coming out of there,

[00:21:12] Carl Lanore: [00:21:12] that's the thing. And then you don't have to worry about, well, did I source real material? Because dr Jeff tests everything when it comes into the facility. Then they test it again before they put it in your product, and then they test it again to see if it's in your product.

[00:21:26] And you get all, you get all of that and you don't have to worry about where you're sourcing the material. Just tell them that, you know, you heard a show on superior radio and, and, and, uh, Rob and Carl said to reach out because you have this one off project that you want to make.

[00:21:39] Coach Rob Regish: [00:21:39] Yeah. Excellent point.

[00:21:41] Carl Lanore: [00:21:41] So there you go.

[00:21:41] Let's get this question up here.

[00:21:43] Coach Rob Regish: [00:21:43] Oh, hold on a second.

[00:21:44] Carl Lanore: [00:21:44] Robert. David, I didn't read it yet. He says, I love your show. I have a question that I will listen after because I need to go back to work first. Your opinion on TRT and PSA levels. Okay. I have strong opinions on that too. [00:22:00] I've read different views on the connection of TRT and enlarged prostate.

[00:22:06] What both of your views or experience on this topic? Thanks. Okay. You go first.

[00:22:13] Coach Rob Regish: [00:22:13] I do not think that the link between testosterone and, you know, elevated PSA levels is there. I think that's based on one study, if I'm not mistaken, of one person going back, God knows how many years. Um, I've seen much more evidence that estrogen and other things contribute to, um, problems in, in the PSA area.

[00:22:37] But look no credible TRT. Doctor. Is going to not test your PSA levels and watch them like a Hawk. And so again, I just do not see the link. Uh, I do not see the, the direct link to testosterone is the boogeyman, which it seems to [00:23:00] be the prevailing opinion of the vast majority of medical doctors, including my PCP guy.

[00:23:07] You know, um, I've been on HRT now for five years, six years. Like PSA is fine. There's nothing wrong with it. Nor do I expect there to be anything wrong with it. And even if it does go up, I do not believe it is due to testosterone or the amount of, even the amount of testosterone. But go ahead. Oh,

[00:23:30] Carl Lanore: [00:23:30] wow. I'm looking for this show that we did.

[00:23:32] We did, we actually just did a show about this, so I can actually point you to a show. It was a renew life RX show and, uh, it was about, um, the linkage between prostate health and testosterone. And I'll find it here in a second. So here's, here's the bottom line. PSA is, are not exclusively found in prostate.

[00:23:54] Coach Rob Regish: [00:23:54] Tissue,

[00:23:55] Carl Lanore: [00:23:55] they sit. This is what science does. So there's a, there's a a [00:24:00] peptide called B, and, P. it was originally found in the brains of pigs. So the B stands for brain, and the N stands for new trick, and the P stands for peptide. But then when they feel, realize that it was also president heart tissue, and it was actually made by the heart, they reduced the name to B.

[00:24:19] And P. And they leave the beat. They don't use brainer anymore. It's B, B new trick peptide because why would you care about a brain peptide that's in the hardware with ads? I mean, when they discovered PSA, they found it in prostate tissue, but about seven years later, they found it in breast cancer tissue, found it.

[00:24:42] They found it in kidney tissue. Yeah. So now it's not prostate specific at all. In fact, it, it's, you can't even use the ne that you can't even use B, B, a prostate or specific in the name. They have to rename it. So other tissue makes [00:25:00] prostate specific antigen, number one. Number two, what the sh the shows that showed here, where the hell is it?

[00:25:09] We did a show Relu renew life. All right, here is the new study at the pathway. Testosterone projects. A P no, no, that was cardiovascular. I did a show recently. I'm, I, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm at a loss right now. I'm trying to find that. Yeah. Here it is. Challenging beliefs of testosterone therapy and prostate cancer.

[00:25:29] It's show number two, four, six, five. Okay. Yup. From, um, from February 5th. So there is research out there now that shows that you can reverse the most aggressive prostate cancers by giving patients testosterone. This isn't bullshit. This is real. Dr Samuel den Mead was the first person to do this study. He came on my show in 2014 since then, other doctors are involved now.

[00:25:59] They're [00:26:00] now calling it bipolar. Testosterone or estrogen therapy. The reason they call it bipolar is because they give, they give you a super physiological dose, bodybuilding dose, but then you don't get another dose sometimes for two months. Then it just trails off into nothing that, that what they found out was super physiological levels of testosterone.

[00:26:28] Damage, prostate cancer, DNA killing, prostate cancer. I can't make, you can't make this stuff up. So all these years that they'd been literally chemically castrating men to keep them alive from prostate cancer, they'd been doing exactly the opposite of what would cure them. They ended up staying on. Andrew did deprivation therapy for decades.

[00:26:49] They sick, they're miserable. They become diabetic. That bone mineral density drops. They have no quality of life, no libido. They're depressed. It's horrible. Cutting the testicles off of a man is [00:27:00] horrible. That's what they do chemically.

[00:27:03] Coach Rob Regish: [00:27:03] And if you think about it logically, right? If testosterone was the boogeyman and it really, you know, grew prostate cancer.

[00:27:13] Why would it be in your body in the first place? You know? And, and it also does not make sense because over the course of a man's life, his, you know, his testosterone levels fall. Yep. The longer men live,

[00:27:27] Carl Lanore: [00:27:27] they get prostate cancer, right?

[00:27:29] Coach Rob Regish: [00:27:29] The more prostate cancer showing up. So, you know, I know.

[00:27:34] Carl Lanore: [00:27:34] Here's, here's the linkage from the study.

[00:27:36] We talked about this study on this show. Two, four, six, five, go listen to it. So here's the linkage. Testosterone deficiency starts. The prostate remains normal. Then prostate cancer. Starts to creep up as metabolic syndrome kicks in. When you have low testosterone, you end up having problems [00:28:00] managing blood sugar.

[00:28:00] So it could be argued that your low testosterone is actually leading to, uh, uh, metabolic changes that lead towards pro to diabetes. Once you have full blown diabetes, your rate of prostate cancer progression not only goes up, but it is the. Limiting factor. It's not testosterone. It's the fact that you are become insulin resistant in the presence of low testosterone in the presence of low testosterone, not in the presence of high to stop.

[00:28:31] Cause if you have high testosterone, none of this happens because you never become insulin resistant.

[00:28:36] Coach Rob Regish: [00:28:36] Right. Yeah. It's amazing, isn't it?

[00:28:39] Carl Lanore: [00:28:39] And here's the problem with this. Every news channel in America should be talking about this study. Why aren't they?

[00:28:50] Coach Rob Regish: [00:28:50] It makes you wonder if it really, it's, I saw it the last time I was in to see my personal physician.

[00:28:57] He said, Hey, you keep taking that [00:29:00] testosterone year. You're going to eventually, their PSA is going to go off the charts and we're going to have to carve that out and then blah, blah, blah. I didn't even bother, you know, at some point you, you to let him let him just

[00:29:13] Carl Lanore: [00:29:13] let him talk. Let him say what they want.

[00:29:15] Look, look at two grams of testosterone a week. My PSA has never went up above 0.5 right now at 500 milligrams a week there. Point two. Yeah. So, I mean, I, if if stop high testosterone led to prostate cancer, I'd have prostate cancer. Every body builder would have prostate cancer, but no diet in their lifestyle, heaps them to developing metabolic disorders.

[00:29:41] They don't get prostate

[00:29:42] Coach Rob Regish: [00:29:42] cancer. It's amazing, isn't it?

[00:29:45] Carl Lanore: [00:29:45] It's all, you know, it's all been a pack of lies, you know? That's all.

[00:29:50] Coach Rob Regish: [00:29:50] Yeah.

[00:29:51] Carl Lanore: [00:29:51] Something's coming in the air tonight. It's all been a pack of lies.

[00:29:55] Coach Rob Regish: [00:29:55] Alright.

[00:29:55] Carl Lanore: [00:29:55] So the next one is the anonymous, and I can see why because he doesn't want to turn anything in [00:30:00] political.

[00:30:00] He said, uh, I'm going to read the whole question cause that's just an excerpt of it. He says, I've heard you and Carl talk about Joe Biden before and how he's been a negative influence on the world of bodybuilding. No, not just the world of bodybuilding, all professional sports. All professional sports, all professional sports.

[00:30:18] Ah, can you elaborate a bit more on him? He is a presidential candidate in 2020 and I'm trying to make an educated decision as to who I should vote for. Well, first of all, you're not gonna have to worry cause he's not going to be the, he's not going to be Democrat cabinet candidate. He's running out of steam.

[00:30:34] But this is a good question. Go ahead Rob.

[00:30:37] Coach Rob Regish: [00:30:37] Well, you know as much as I can, my answer will be. Um, there's little to do with politics as possible and, and everything to do with the facts surrounding Joe Biden's history with performance enhancing compounds. So with that as a backdrop. You know, here's the four one one.

[00:30:56] I'm on Joe. Um, and what I, what I [00:31:00] think he would be like as a president would, you know, insofar as performance enhancing drugs, supplements and physical culture in general, way back in 1990 Congress, her testimony from the FDA, the DEA, and even the AMA, the American medical association, that steroids did not.

[00:31:23] Warrant classification as controlled substances.

[00:31:27] Carl Lanore: [00:31:27] In fact, in fact, Anthony Roberts has written about this years ago that the DEA wanted nothing to do with arresting law abiding people for taking anabolic steroids. They didn't want, they had bigger fish to fry. They want that. Nothing to do with that. Right.

[00:31:44] Coach Rob Regish: [00:31:44] And so you know when, when that became obvious for all to see. Then Senator Biden decided to appeal to something other than logic and reason. He started to appeal to people's emotions. [00:32:00] So he then made sure that there was this steady stream of YPI athletes who were paraded onto the stand blaming steroids for everything from turning females into males to Steve Corson.

[00:32:17] Uh, the offensive lineman, I think for the Steelers, right. He was the guy that was awaiting a heart transplant. Um, and the father, I forget his name, whose son supposedly committed suicide due to Cortland or who?

[00:32:31] Carl Lanore: [00:32:31] Taylor Hooten tele hoot. Right. I actually had Don Hooten on my show in 2006. And challenged him.

[00:32:38] And he admitted that it was probably the SSRI that caused his son to commit suicide and not the anabolic steroids because the doctor took his young son off of anabolic steroids without any PCT and put them on SSRI as the kid went into a deep depression and killed himself. Right.

[00:32:57] Coach Rob Regish: [00:32:57] So, so, you know, Biden, make sure [00:33:00] this steady stream of people is up there telling their sob stories.

[00:33:04] Um, and so he was among the first to use the save the children mantra, right? To pull the wool over people's eyes, pretending as if his new law, putting steroids in into a schedule three controlled substance status would make America safer and, and clean up professional sports. Well as history has shown, it has only led to more and more steroid use, both in professional sports and society at large, a thriving black market.

[00:33:38] And there is no end in sight. But of course. Joe isn't doing anything about that. Now, if you'll notice, he hasn't done anything about it since he originally passed that legislation because that's not what he's really, that's not what he cared about. He did it simply to say he did something as a us [00:34:00] Senator, you see in the polarized world of Washington DC.

[00:34:04] Even back then. Steroids, even today, or a nice, safe bipartisan softball issue. The kind that is tailor made for the Joe Biden's of the world so that he can stand on his soapbox and say, I cleaned up professional sports. I made you, I made the world a safer place for your kids. There's one more. Disgusting note about this guy, and I use, I use that word very specifically.

[00:34:35] Carl Lanore: [00:34:35] That's a strong note.

[00:34:35] Coach Rob Regish: [00:34:35] Yeah. He actually told the world that we're not for steroids. Yeah. He would have been a professional baseball player. Listen, the truth is that Biden was wrong

[00:34:49] Carl Lanore: [00:34:49] enough. Actually. He actually. Insulted every professional and Olympic athlete on the planet when he implied that [00:35:00] hard work, skill, motivation, dedication, have nothing to do with success in sports.

[00:35:07] Just the decision to use drugs is all you need. And you know what? No one called him on this because nobody wants to get splashed with bud from, from, from reckless, reckless uncle Joe. But the reality is the moment he said, I could've been a pro baseball player, how do you think I feel? He was like, he was, he was virtue signaling.

[00:35:28] I could've been a pro baseball player if I would have taken out of Bolick steroids. Joe, you can't be anything, but you are a liar and a politician. You were made for this. You do this so well. How you sleep at night baffles me. I want to learn because I have trouble sleeping when I worry about things.

[00:35:47] This guy doesn't worry about anything. He lies. And he doesn't worry.

[00:35:52] Coach Rob Regish: [00:35:52] Yeah. And I mean he's a very, to me, he comes across as very arrogant and aloof [00:36:00] and  out of touch. Right. And everyone, I think from everyday Americans to Al Qaeda, by the way, when we raid and get raided bin Laden's compound, they found a note saying to assassinate everyone else, but leave him B

[00:36:15] Carl Lanore: [00:36:15] cause he's a dummy.

[00:36:16] Coach Rob Regish: [00:36:16] Yeah. It would be more useful to their cause.

[00:36:18] Carl Lanore: [00:36:18] Could you imagine this is a true story and they've actually had, they've had other intelligence like this that, that Joe Biden is not, not a worry to, to, to organizations and individuals who would propose to hurt people in the U S they see him. He's not a threat.

[00:36:36] He's not a threat. He's too busy kissing kids back of their neck and sniffing their hair and, and saying stupid stuff. The guys . The reality is, I mean, uh, uh, what's her name? Chelsea Gabard. Kelsey guy. Uh, Kelsey Gabbert. W

[00:36:51] Coach Rob Regish: [00:36:51] what's her name? I'm not familiar.

[00:36:53] Carl Lanore: [00:36:53] I mean, the, the one from Hawaii. This girl is like worthy of people's attention as a democratic [00:37:00] nominee and no one wants to talk to her because.

[00:37:03] The majority of people that try to appeal to aren't thinking, they're not critical thinkers. They're, they vote with emotion. They don't vote with their brains. If they realize that Joe, Joe Biden can't run anything,

[00:37:15] Coach Rob Regish: [00:37:15] it's really, it's unfortunate and collectively, right? So that's the story on Joe's past, at least as it relates to performance and enhancing substances.

[00:37:26] So, so just no one understand this, understand a vote for this guy. Is a vote to deny the right to use the supplements of your choice and the right to put whatever you want into your body. That's just, that's the facts of the matter of how he has operated. And really, if you think about it. Do you want somebody in the white house who's ruled by emotions instead of logic and reason his entire career, he's been ruled by this and [00:38:00] he continues to exploit these types of

[00:38:02] Carl Lanore: [00:38:02] things because I really think that he believes his lies.

[00:38:05] I think he believes that he would have been a pro baseball player if he would have come to agree to take, keep in mind at his age when he would've been playing baseball, we didn't have these steroids. Like we do today. We, we needed these steroids didn't emerge until the late sixties early seventies he ate, he was graduated from school and he was already a allying politician by then.

[00:38:28] So there was nobody pushing. There was no CIBA rep pushing. Uh, uh, uh, Diana bowl on athletes at his college. And in fact, it wouldn't have been illegal. Keep that in mind. It would not have been frowned upon when Seba first introduced the Annabelle Franco Columbo, uh, ADL. They had doctors prescribing it specifically to build muscle.

[00:38:53] It wasn't illegal. This guy, he's such a bad liar. That he forgets that timing, uh, [00:39:00] and reality kind of don't work with what he's saying. He wouldn't have been offered these drugs and had he, they wouldn't have been illegal. He could have taken them.

[00:39:10] Coach Rob Regish: [00:39:10] It's true. Wake up,

[00:39:12] Carl Lanore: [00:39:12] wake up. People wake up. I'm sorry, I, I, you know, I can't help it.

[00:39:17] I just, I just despise the guy. I think he's smarmy and slimy and I, and I, and I, and I can't believe that people really want him to be president of this United States. Uh, okay. Are we ready for the next question? It's from Clifton. So Jeff Clifton says, speaking of testosterone, do you think tribulus and ashwagandha would be a good one, two punch?

[00:39:38] Coach Rob Regish: [00:39:38] It's not going to raise testosterone to the level that's going to accelerate muscle building. Then, and let's be honest, that's what everyone or the vast majority of guys that are lifting wanted to do. You can, it doesn't have the potential to raise testosterone. Yes. And IGF one, yes. Two to the levels that will [00:40:00] accelerate muscle building.

[00:40:01] No. Now can those two things help with stress? Can they help with sex drive? Absolutely. And I tell you that's, that would be where their proved value lies. The tribulus as well, if you remember, has been shown to cut tissue damage in half

[00:40:18] Carl Lanore: [00:40:18] as much as it has what would be considered an adaptogenic quality to it.

[00:40:22] Coach Rob Regish: [00:40:22] Yes. So, so are those useful items? Yes, but, but are they going to boost testosterone to the levels that you want them to or, and I want them to know, no. Otherwise, why would people go on HRT?

[00:40:37] Carl Lanore: [00:40:37] I know my brother in law email the other day and said, what do you think of boron? I said, for what? He said, you know, to raise testosterone.

[00:40:43] I said. You used to be on testosterone, why aren't you on it anymore? Of course his doctor told him his PSA is again too high. So I sent them a link to the show that we just did and said, have your doctor listen to this show? And it's like, and I said, why would you want boron when you could just take [00:41:00] testosterone?

[00:41:00] You're not going to make your, your testicles, your hypothalamus, your pituitary. Once you hit 60 years old, they don't work well anymore. Why waste your time reviving them? Why re waste your time repairing? The 40 year old countertop and your house where you could rip it out and put a brand new one in.

[00:41:16] Coach Rob Regish: [00:41:16] Good analogy. Real good analogy.

[00:41:19] Carl Lanore: [00:41:19] I mean, come on. People have to stop this nonsense that testosterone is bad. It hasn't been bad in your body for how many decades now all of a sudden, it's bad. Don't listen to this nonsense.

[00:41:28] Coach Rob Regish: [00:41:28] Yeah. Yup.

[00:41:29] Carl Lanore: [00:41:29] Uh, when we come back, we have a question from, uh, John Fitzgerald and, uh, you're listening to the blueprint power brought to you by coach Rob ruggish.com, which is where you should go.

[00:41:42] To learn the tricks and tips to get stronger faster. And, uh, I want to, I forgot to say when I was talking about big Lou, the insurance company that's sponsoring the show now and telling you guys that if you don't have life insurance and you're in your forties and fifties, you are irresponsible [00:42:00] because you will die someday.

[00:42:02] And the people that you leave behind are the ones that are going to need that support financially. And it doesn't take a lot. You call them up. The phone number is (800) 352-9239 and if you can get Shane on the phone, get him, the guy is great. They'll send somebody out to the house, do blood work, they do the paperwork, go online with you.

[00:42:24] It's fast, fast, fast. You're approved. They underwrite it. It takes about two weeks to get everything underwritten. And next thing you know, you go to sleep at night and you think to yourself, one thing I don't have to worry about is dying tonight in my sleep because my family is taken care of. And that's why I'm doing it.

[00:42:40] One less thing that why wake up in the middle of the night to go pee. I start worrying about, Oh, and I really need to get life insurance. Get that out of the way. It's easy, it's inexpensive, and they make you feel good about it. (800) 352-9239 big Lou. Stay tuned, we'll be right

[00:42:55] Coach Rob Regish: [00:42:55] back. This is the superhuman chapel where we use [00:43:00] oxygen for the power of good.

[00:43:08] Carl Lanore: [00:43:08] Would help if I open up my microphone. Welcome back.

[00:43:12] Coach Rob Regish: [00:43:12] Let's

[00:43:12] Carl Lanore: [00:43:12] get the next question up there.

[00:43:17] Well, this one comes from John Fitzgerald. What's the latest on creating? I heard there's some new research coming out, uh, soon showing even more benefits. He may be talking about the one that shows a mitochondrial biogenesis. Is that the one you found, Rob?

[00:43:34] Coach Rob Regish: [00:43:34] Yeah, but you know, to be fair, it seems like every week there's something new, right?

[00:43:41] Some new benefit to create a team. I G I generally stay away from creatine questions since it's beaten to death. You know, you can go to any board anywhere and get a pretty good overview of what creatine is, you know, how much to use, what it does, et cetera. [00:44:00] Um, but having said that, there is in fact some new info that's come out.

[00:44:04] So as soon to be published, study. Showed this increased mitochondrial activity, which is huge, right? Given the mitochondria are the powerhouse of cells. There was a catch though, in, in that research I'll, I'll be at, you know, for, for our audience's purpose. It's not going to be a catch. What I'm talking about is, um.

[00:44:29] You can't just take it and get this benefit to, you know, better mitochondrial activity. You need to exercise to

[00:44:37] Carl Lanore: [00:44:37] exercise by itself, increases mitochondrial biogenesis, especially if it's an intense exercise,

[00:44:43] Coach Rob Regish: [00:44:43] right? Put the two of them together, obviously. Right? Um, or dynamite. So that's exciting. Not just from a performance enhancement perspective, but more so if you think about longevity.

[00:44:56] Because increased mitochondrial function, [00:45:00] right? And all of your internal organs should benefit. You know, if you Jack that up, then everything else should function better. Um, and, and there's, well, here's a few reasons why. It's why that's important. A lot of seniors die from quote unquote old age, right?

[00:45:19] Which is really a euphemism for muscle wasting brought on by inactivity. And greatly decreased food and nutrient uptake. That's just how it is right now. The utilization and the assimilation of food is just not what it once was. Even the total volume of food is not what it once was, so it's a double whammy when your calories drop below a certain threshold, everything slows down.

[00:45:48] The fibroid metabolism rates of amino acid coding and sequencing, et cetera, et cetera. Creatine plus exercise revs up the mitochondria, [00:46:00] and it looks from that, from this study that it can do it even on lower calories.

[00:46:05] Carl Lanore: [00:46:05] That's impressive.

[00:46:07] Coach Rob Regish: [00:46:07] Well, yeah. Very impressive. Which means, what does that mean? Well, to athletes, that's all well and good, but think about.

[00:46:15] Old folks, right, who can't quite pack away the groceries like they used to.

[00:46:20] Carl Lanore: [00:46:20] God blessed me. That's one thing I have is a huge frigging appetite still. Yeah, it's constant. It's just kind of

[00:46:28] Coach Rob Regish: [00:46:28] me to not one of you was my twenties but it's still a,

[00:46:31] Carl Lanore: [00:46:31] Oh no. Mine is more I, I've learned to eat more food because back when I was a young kid, I was out drinking a lot.

[00:46:36] I wasn't worried about what I was eating and I didn't have the muscle I have today. Today. I mean. Even when I do intimate and fasting, I mean, it's, I, I have a ravenous hunger. Once I break my fast, I just rabbit.

[00:46:49] Coach Rob Regish: [00:46:49] Yeah. So if you take one of these oldsters, um, who, what let's say was not exercising or taking creatine, and then you have them take creatine and [00:47:00] start a little bit of exercise, I would imagine it's going to be a huge boon.

[00:47:05] Uh, to their health because it's going to have, the practical effect is going to be, it's not going to just strengthen their muscles, muscles, but their heart and the function of every other just about internal organ, right? So think about it. Livers that detoxify the body more efficiently. Kidneys that filter out waste more efficiently.

[00:47:26] You know, hearts that beat stronger. You get the picture. Overall. Five grams or so. A day of creatine with food is a great insurance policy against all sources of disease States,

[00:47:40] Carl Lanore: [00:47:40] and you don't have to worry about taking too much creatine. Like people say, Oh, too much creatine. It puts strain on your kidneys.

[00:47:45] That hasn't been really shown. But if you're worried and you don't want water, weight gain associated with loading phases of creating, taking five grams a day is all you need.

[00:47:56] Coach Rob Regish: [00:47:56] Yeah. Even even three grams a day at the end of 30 days was [00:48:00] shown the

[00:48:01] Carl Lanore: [00:48:01] same saturation. Yeah.

[00:48:02] Coach Rob Regish: [00:48:02] Right. Reach saturation. Just a little score.

[00:48:04] Yeah. So you're going to be getting all of these benefits that you're hearing about. Plus I'm absolutely certain, even more that haven't been discovered yet, and I would, I would argue that it gets more important that you do that. The more the right, the older that you get. So, you know, as we get more information, uh, I'll be sure to pass it along here, but this increased mitochondrial activities, exciting and not just from a performance enhancement perspective.

[00:48:36] So sorry about that. How

[00:48:39] Carl Lanore: [00:48:39] much do you need text messages from people? What's that? I don't mean to, I don't take it every day. I probably take 15 grams a week on average. I don't take it every day.

[00:48:48] Coach Rob Regish: [00:48:48] Okay. Just curious.

[00:48:49] Carl Lanore: [00:48:49] I guess, you know, part of me is worried about its ability to shift substrate preferences to glucose.

[00:48:57] There is some evidence that it does. So if you're [00:49:00] dieting, uh, and you're eating carbs, it may, may kind of not be your friend. So, uh, before we go onto the next question from Eric Bader, we have a question from an audience member, Charles Dawson. He said, what's your opinion on a really good over 50 year old barbell workout guide or instruction?

[00:49:23] I think Brooks pubic, right? I mean, he caters to the older, older lifters, but I can't do it, but the blueprint, but the blueprint works for 50 year olds too.

[00:49:32] Coach Rob Regish: [00:49:32] Yeah. Crooks has done a lot of good work for, for older lifters, and in fact,

[00:49:37] Carl Lanore: [00:49:37] I don't like this thing about older lifters. All the lifters can do everything young lifters can do.

[00:49:42] If they don't treat themselves like, Oh, the lifters, but let, let me finish the question here real quick. I've found that the mind does not realize the body is getting older. That's the truth. And that's the reason for a lot of injuries until the body shouts out with pain. What I knew as a good workout [00:50:00] when younger is not so good.

[00:50:01] Now, what do you think.

[00:50:04] Coach Rob Regish: [00:50:04] Gray Heron black iron is a great book on this subject. Um, he's absolutely right about the mind, and I'll tell you the one overriding thing to keep in mind, no matter what you know, workout program you pick is this expectations will make or break you. If you turn 50 and you expect to be weaker slower.

[00:50:28] Smaller than you will be if you turn 50 and expect to be as strong as you were at each 25 like I'm doing right now, you will be you people simply live up or down to expectations and strength training is no exception. Yeah.

[00:50:47] Carl Lanore: [00:50:47] You just got to go slow. That's all. Take your time. Yeah, that that's, that's the truth.

[00:50:51] Aiden Ray, we have another question from a live viewer. What's your diet look like right now, coach? Are you cycling diets? Any fasting [00:51:00] going on?

[00:51:01] Coach Rob Regish: [00:51:01] Yeah, actually, uh, Monday through Friday, uh, I eat a low as in under 30 grams or so carbohydrate today, but I do so in intermittent fasting type sit, you know, um,

[00:51:16] Carl Lanore: [00:51:16] schedule form

[00:51:17] Coach Rob Regish: [00:51:17] format.

[00:51:18] I am carb loading just one day a week on Saturdays. Now. And so yeah, you can make that Sunday through Friday, I guess. And what I'm finding is that is what is necessary to keep my waist down as my strength and my muscle comes up. Uh, is that a consequence of being 50 perhaps? Is it a consequence of. Of what types of carbs I'm eating and how many maybe, uh, but it's working, you know, if the tape measure is making bigger circles around your arms and legs and your waist is getting smaller or staying even staying the same.

[00:51:58] Uh, you're moving in the right [00:52:00] direction and the pounds on the bar keep going up and the body weight stuff, you know, so I feel like I'm hitting on all cylinders. To answer your question, it's a little mix of the anabolic diet and intermittent fasting and it's serving me well.

[00:52:15] Carl Lanore: [00:52:15] I want to go back to Charles Dawson cause I kinda feel like I rushed through his, his question and I want to, I want to address the, what I knew as a good workout when younger is not so good now.

[00:52:25] And that's probably because he is feeling okay. Pain or he feels like he's not making the progress. And you know, our brains, you're right. Our brains don't realize where we're older. Um, I mean, when I hear myself and the thoughts that run through my head, they're not of an older 61 year old man. They the same guy when I was 25 and probably a touch of it when I was 16.

[00:52:49] That's, that's most of us grow out of that, but me not. Um, but I think that you can still train as hard. I just think that you have to take [00:53:00] it in slower steps, and if you having pain, shoulder pain, elbow pain, that that isn't a result of the workout as it is a result of your body not having what it needs.

[00:53:12] So I would consider, if you're not already looking at HRT hormone replacement therapy, I would consider, I would ask you to consider things like peptides, like BPC one 57. Um. You need to, you know, that's what this whole thing about hacks, you know, I don't even like the word anymore to be honest, because it's really BS.

[00:53:33] Everybody's got a hack, you know, Oh, we're going to hack this. We're gonna hack that. Um, I, I think that you have, Elise and I talk about this all the time. It takes a lot more effort. To be able to do the things we want to do at 61 when you, when you were 25 and 30 and 35 you could go out drinking with the guys and show up at the gym the next morning and train, you know?

[00:53:58] So [00:54:00] I think that you could still train as hard as you want to, that you think you can, but I think that it just requires slower steps, smaller steps. And progression. And I also think the older you get, you have to train just about every day. I mean, you can take off Saturday and Sunday, but I think you need to train five days a week the older you get because, because the gains you make when you're young, you could take time off, go back to the gym and boom, fall right back into it.

[00:54:28] But the gains you make when you're older, if you take a week off because you had to travel for work or something like that, you get back in the gym. You know what I'm talking about, Charles? It's like, Oh man, I can't believe how heavy his weight is. Like I was just doing this last week for reps and today I feel like it's heavy.

[00:54:42] I think you have to train more frequently and you do have to train smarter, but I do think you can achieve all the strength you want, the gains you want, but just be, go slow with it. That's it.

[00:54:52] Coach Rob Regish: [00:54:52] Okay,

[00:54:54] Carl Lanore: [00:54:54] so let's see here. We have another question to answer. Eric Bader, we didn't get to him yet, did it? [00:55:00] Let's see.

[00:55:00] No, he said it looks like Cynthia gin is finally back in stock as I received my bottles just the other day. Can you tell me the best way to use it during these times when supplies may be tight? I guess he doesn't want to run out more.

[00:55:18] Coach Rob Regish: [00:55:18] Yeah, it's a fair question because look, you Simpson Jim was out of stock for for the better part of four months.

[00:55:25] Really? So.

[00:55:27] Carl Lanore: [00:55:27] Yeah. Oh man.

[00:55:29] Coach Rob Regish: [00:55:29] You know, in past shows I've tried to, uh, give examples and reasons as to why. And in, in large part, it's that one of the ingredients were, Polycom is only harvested once a year in late August when peak actives are there. And we go to Russia to get it. So if you think about it, you have to.

[00:55:53] You have to figure out how much respond to come to buy to get you through most of the year. [00:56:00] Um, it getting it back over here is no small feat, nor is it cheap. And so it's the single most expensive ingredient and a lot of the other things in , uh, end up waiting, let's say on that one. Now, there are other ingredients, like for example, orotic acid that is not a stock item at most of these supply houses, which means it needs to be special ordered, which means.

[00:56:28] Um, it adds to time and expense. So, and, and I've only covered right there, right? Two of the ingredients, there are 14 more, some of which are less esoteric, but still your best bet if you don't want to be shut out and you want to make things last as long as possible, I would tell you to buy as much as you can, especially when you see a sale.

[00:56:53] And then more importantly, use it strategically, which means. With the first bottle. Take it [00:57:00] every day. Like I recommend 10 before the workout, maybe five more after, after the heaviest of days and nine to 10 on your off days with food the next 30 days and the next bottle you crack open, only use it on training days only.

[00:57:17] And so doing that is going to allow you to get most of its unique benefits while stretching your supply as far as possible. And, and defacto your money as far as possible. Now, a lot of people, because of the effect  has, they're convinced, I want to address this. They're convinced their painkiller Senate or something along the lines of, you know, um, over the counter painkillers, what are they seeing?

[00:57:48] Carl Lanore: [00:57:48] Analgesics and said, yeah,

[00:57:50] Coach Rob Regish: [00:57:50] send me in a fin and all that other stuff. There are no painkillers in Cynthia, Jim. Um, there [00:58:00] is, there is no boswellia Serrata. There is no curcumin and there is no CSUs. I've heard people say, ah, you got that in there. It's not on the label. No, no, neither. None of those are in there nor nor any other dedicated, let's say anti-inflammatory.

[00:58:17] So let me again, state unequivocally, no painkillers or anti-inflammatories in citizenship. Nothing in there that isn't on the label. It feels like there is, yes. But that is not the case. It was designed to accelerate wound healing. I'll be it on the inside of the body and not specifically to treat injuries.

[00:58:41] It just turns out that, and this was this, I got this feedback shortly after it was released. It's a happy coincidence. People are writing me, telling them it's healing their injuries and you know, you can talk to just throw out anybody that's used it. If they've got. Niggling little injuries, they're going to tell you they're either gone [00:59:00] or they're greatly mitigated.

[00:59:02] So I would speculate soft tissue injuries, a benefit in the case of Cynthia gin, due to the interplay between the , the erotic acid, the trimethylglycine, and the essential amino acids, which as I told you I worked on for years, I would not rule out the role of magnesium. Uh, or the orally active ATP, elevate ATP, which is what we use.

[00:59:31] Those are possibilities as well. But look, here's the bottom line. More and more people are realizing just how good Cynthia Jen really is. And I was blown away when I heard how many preorders we had, um, from what John told me, you know, and, and those all have been filled. Uh, to the best of my knowledge. And the reason is simple.

[00:59:53] This is not some run of the mill 34, 95 pre-workout we're talking about it is real effective [01:00:00] supplementation that isn't cheap. Right? So when you see that many people lining up and saying, Hey, Oh wait for four months to get in line first, come over, sir. It really says something. Yeah. Oh, great. You know, I hope that helps.

[01:00:14] We're hoping to avoid. Right sellouts, but it's always a possibility.

[01:00:21] Carl Lanore: [01:00:21] Last question before we go to the blueprint. Tip of the day is from Mike GLRS. She says, can you tell me the best way to build your upper chest? I'm 17 years old, five, nine, and weigh 175 pounds and have a lot of upper chest area to fill in our inclines.

[01:00:39] Really all I need to do,

[01:00:41] Coach Rob Regish: [01:00:41] you know, I'll, I'll try to make this quick. Um. Look at five, nine, one 75 we need to build a chest before we talk about building an upper chest. Okay. Uh. If you are spending time obsessing over trying to build part of a [01:01:00] muscle or even worse, trying to shape part of a muscle, you are wasting your time.

[01:01:06] I am not one that believes that you can train to shape a muscle. If you really believe that, then I want you to train to shape your bicep in the form of a square. It take as much time as you need to and then come back and tell me how successful you are. Uh, I do believe that you can train to enlarge a muscle and let the genetic chips fall where they may, so to speak.

[01:01:33] Okay. So instead of focusing on yadda, I need to do aim Klein's at a certain degree. Uh. I honestly believe a steady diet of heavy depths bench presses and pullovers is going to build about as big a chest and about as full of chest as your genetics will allow. Okay. Now I will concede that there are certain variations of those moves.

[01:01:58] That will lead to [01:02:00] the chest getting sore in, in different areas. Right. Geronda had Geronda depths, dumbbell presses with the dumbbells touching whether or not that really results in more muscle in that area. I haven't seen it. I've just seen guys chest get bigger and smaller depending upon the training that they're doing.

[01:02:19] So. You know, it's, that's my, that's my take on everything. The bottom line is I generally try and remember this advice as it's always served me well. The more you try to isolate a muscle or part of a muscle, the lower the tension is going to be. Muscles don't know angle. They don't know isolation. They know they don't know how to fire partially.

[01:02:45] Either they fire with everything they've got or nothing at all. And muscles grow in response to overload. The more overload you can generate with a given movement, the more your muscles will grow. So I would tell you to [01:03:00] stick with those movements that I cited and like I said, work like hell and let the genetic chips fall where they may, you know, genetics will determine the shape of your muscles.

[01:03:10] You just focus on realizing. Your genetic potential.

[01:03:13] Carl Lanore: [01:03:13] Yeah. Make them bigger. They'll have shape once they get bigger. I was going to take a quick commercial break. When we come back, we have the blueprint tip of the day. Stay tuned. We shall return music going and now we go.

[01:03:28] Coach Rob Regish: [01:03:28] Your

[01:03:28] Carl Lanore: [01:03:28] radio

[01:03:29] Coach Rob Regish: [01:03:29] got ripped. It's super human radio

[01:03:39] Carl Lanore: [01:03:39] okay. The blueprint tip of the day is a lesson in the power of critical thinking. Take it away, Rob.

[01:03:44] Coach Rob Regish: [01:03:44] Yeah, this is a good one. So sometimes you really need to think out of the box, right, to get better results. Um, and I had a recent training session just yesterday that I thought illustrates this really well.

[01:03:56] I'm, I'm mu, I am moving [01:04:00] from a very low volume loading pattern to a much higher one. So I had, I was working with just two work sets, um, and that, that worked fantastically, by the way. But I'm moving to a program now with six. And typically when you switch from a very low volume to very high volume and vice versa, you get great results.

[01:04:24] The only downside is that when sometimes when you move from low volume to a much higher volume, you run into problems and one of those problems is much greater set to set fatigue. Right? You have to be in better. Uh, you have to have a better work capacity.

[01:04:43] Carl Lanore: [01:04:43] Conditioning.

[01:04:44] Coach Rob Regish: [01:04:44] Yeah. Yeah. Conditioning. Uh, until you

[01:04:47] Carl Lanore: [01:04:47] get, you actually go through this right now.

[01:04:48] So this is great for me. Gut. Yeah.

[01:04:51] Coach Rob Regish: [01:04:51] So until you get used to it, you tend to lose a lot of strength in, in your later sets and doubly so if you're on a low [01:05:00] carb ketogenic diet most of the time, which is what I am and you guys that are on that know exactly what I'm talking about. So with that in mind, right, I recently did this, this kind of deep dive into the high volume program that I was embarking upon.

[01:05:16] Step one is just understanding why the program works and this particular one works because the total tonnage drops from workout to workout. It starts very high and it continues to drop every workout, and there are six to a point where it's very low, provided that you can hit the required total tonnage.

[01:05:39] Every workout you will succeed on max day. Step two in this process though, is to think critically about what you're doing. Each workout, and as I looked at the first workout, a couple of things jumped out at me. The set rep spread for it goes little, something like [01:06:00] this. Set one, two 50 for 10 set two to 65 for eight, 300 for eight three 25 for eight three 64 eight three 85 for eight a total.

[01:06:12] In my case, total tonnage of 15,580 pounds lifted across those six sets. Now, let me ask you a question. When you were, when, when you perform a workout like this, when are you at your strongest during your first step or during your last set?

[01:06:33] Carl Lanore: [01:06:33] Well, actually I would say the second set is stronger than the first set.

[01:06:39] Coach Rob Regish: [01:06:39] Okay.

[01:06:39] Carl Lanore: [01:06:39] But then probably around the fourth set, you're going to start to get weaker and weaker.

[01:06:44] Coach Rob Regish: [01:06:44] Am I wrong? Uh, no. I don't think you're wrong. I, I think you're expressing it just in a little different way. Okay. To me, the answer is I'm undeniably stronger. My first set, right? While I'm still fresh [01:07:00] and before the proceeding five sets take their toll.

[01:07:04] And I'm sitting here thinking to myself, wait a minute, man, if I get to that three 85 for eight, and I'm totally exhausted, there's a chance I might not get it. There's gotta be a better way. And the solution to me, to me, it was obvious, reverse the set order and start with the heaviest set first, uh, with each set thereafter.

[01:07:28] Only getting lighter and easier,

[01:07:30] Carl Lanore: [01:07:30] but increasing the reps. Right. Or staying with the same reps,

[01:07:34] Coach Rob Regish: [01:07:34] you're, you're sticking with the same route. Okay. Okay. It's just tackling the heaviest weight first as opposed to last.

[01:07:41] Carl Lanore: [01:07:41] Yeah. It makes good sense.

[01:07:43] Coach Rob Regish: [01:07:43] And so doing, so for me, it resulted in a much higher likelihood.

[01:07:49] It's gonna result in a much higher likelihood of people getting all of their required reps. And the total tonnage is the same. Either way, whether you start [01:08:00] light and finish heavy or finish start heavy and finished light, you're going to lift the same 15,580 pounds. Not only that, your form on that first set is probably going to be better.

[01:08:15] Um. If you do it upfront, whereas if you do it later on, if it's the last set, then your form might be compromised because of fatigue. Okay. It happened, you know, as, as you fatigued from set to set, you're more prone to get sloppy with your reps. Right. In order to hit the required numbers, uh. There was also another benefit and I wasn't expecting this one.

[01:08:42] Instead of walking out of there feeling flattened, and I've done this workout before the regular way, uh, I wa I left limited abundance of energy and I have the gas to breeze through my accessory and supplemental movements. And so instead of leaving the gym [01:09:00] depleted and drain. And quite possibly, maybe, you know, worse missing a rep or two.

[01:09:05] I was refreshed and I was looking forward to the next workout. Right? It's beautiful. Now I will conceive, this might not work for everyone, but I have a sneaking suspicion that it'll suit most lifters better than what they're currently doing and far better at that. To me, it's the difference between drudging uphill.

[01:09:29] Right through a workout verse versus rising to the occasion on set one and then it's all downhill from there. Cause that's exactly what it felt like. Okay. That's the good news. The bad news is none of that happens without critical thinking. If your program works. Okay, why does it work? You need to answer that question.

[01:09:55] Can you explain it to someone. How it is that that program is going to [01:10:00] get you bigger, stronger, more explosive, etc. Whatever your goal is, because if you can't answer that question, does a good chance that whatever you're doing is a waste of time. I mean, just punching in and racking up gym hours doesn't cut it.

[01:10:18] It never has. It never will. It is what you do instead while you're there. And it's always been about that, and it will always be about that. If you're still confused. Okay. And you're interested in getting a little help. I offer some really dirt cheap introductions to this kind of stuff. Dirt cheap as in five bucks a month, that tiny investment will pay huge dividends and you will leave the gym knowing you took another step towards your goal, whatever it is.

[01:10:52] Which is a mighty satisfying feeling. Believe me, I sit here today knowing I made the right moves on that and some of [01:11:00] the other stuff that I did. Whatever you do, I can assure you of this. If you're not willing to think critically and learn, no one can help you, but if you are willing to think critically and learn, then no one can stop you.

[01:11:20] and that's really honestly and truly how it goes. Uh, look, I know a lot of people are still walking in there and winging it, and maybe, maybe you're happy with w with where know that has you today and, and where you'll be a year from now. I don't know. Uh, but if you're not, I would highly encourage you to start thinking critically about what you're doing, why and maybe about how to do it better.

[01:11:50] Yeah.

[01:11:50] Carl Lanore: [01:11:50] Good stuff. Really, really good.

[01:11:52] Coach Rob Regish: [01:11:52] Yeah. It's, you know, it's, and it's something that, I dunno, to me it was intuitive. Hey, I'm just going to reverse this. [01:12:00] Why do the law, why do the heaviest set last, get it out of the way first and then just

[01:12:04] Carl Lanore: [01:12:04] run it. A lot of people. I mean, I've always trained that way, but we've done the hobbyist movement first and then gradually, literally lightened up and did more reps as I went further down the, uh, yeah, it makes perfect sense.

[01:12:18] It really does.

[01:12:19] Coach Rob Regish: [01:12:19] And, and listen, nobody is suggesting you don't warm up. Nobody's suggesting you just launch in your heaviest set. All I'm saying is after you're done warming up to that weight and you tackle it. It's, it's literally downhill from there and it makes everything so much easier. Yeah. Easier.

[01:12:40] And you've left, you've lifted the same total tonnage, and you've accomplished the same thing. So looking at it that

[01:12:46] Carl Lanore: [01:12:46] way, yeah. The goal shouldn't be to destroy yourself. Lee Haney said it best when he said. Stimulate. Don't annihilate the body.

[01:12:54] Coach Rob Regish: [01:12:54] Amen. There you go.

[01:12:55] Carl Lanore: [01:12:55] Great. Great discussion. Long awaited show. Two weeks off the air coach Rob will be [01:13:00] here every week moving forward.

[01:13:01] I'm sure. Yes, sir. We're happy that he's back and we're happy that Jen is feeling

[01:13:06] Coach Rob Regish: [01:13:06] better after her surgeries. And,

[01:13:09] Carl Lanore: [01:13:09] uh, that's it for today. Tomorrow I had a show booked about a very interesting piece of workout equipment, but. Uh, my guest is in the UK and I don't think that she knows the show is tomorrow.

[01:13:20] So we may end up not having a show tomorrow, but we will have a show Thursday and Friday. I can tell you that already.

[01:13:27] Coach Rob Regish: [01:13:27] Cool. So

[01:13:27] Carl Lanore: [01:13:27] anyway, that's it for today. Thank you for watching and listening. Go to  dot com and that's where you can learn and buy and show your appreciation for all the hard

[01:13:39] Coach Rob Regish: [01:13:39] work that

[01:13:40] Carl Lanore: [01:13:40] coach does.

[01:13:41] All right, Rob. Thanks a lot brother.

[01:13:43] Coach Rob Regish: [01:13:43] Thank you.

[01:13:44] Carl Lanore: [01:13:44] And we'll see your body. We may see you tomorrow. We may see it Thursday. We'll find out. We'll find out pretty soon. Okay. That's it.

[01:13:52] Coach Rob Regish: [01:13:52] I've got some music going here. Bam. [01:14:00] .
