[00:00:00] [00:00:00] Carl Lanore: [00:00:00] hey, Hey, welcome back to another episode of super human radio. Today is Tuesday, uh, January 14th, 2020 for those of you listening to the show a hundred years from now. And, uh, today is the blueprint power hour, which we're going to start just a moment, but before we do that, I have to mention something that I've failed to mention in past shows this year.

[00:00:22] Uh, legendary foods is signed on to be the title sponsor of super human radio. The title sponsor carries a great financial load that makes this show possible. Keep the show float as other sponsors, uh, trail in and trail out. January 24th in just 10 days, legendary foods is going to set the world on fire with a new food product that they're going to introduce.

[00:00:52] Keep in mind that the two people driving legendary food, uh, are [00:01:00] Shannon Norton Pena, who is the brain child of the quest bar. That took and her, her husband, Ron Penna, those two people, obviously with a team of people behind them, but the Genesis of quest nutrition began with in Shannon's kitchen. Uh, and they're going to do this again.

[00:01:24] Uh, when you see what legendary food foods is introducing January. 24th you are going to be so excited because snacking is going to become guilt-free once again, and on that note,

[00:01:40] Coach Rob Regish: [00:01:40] calling all blueprint army,

[00:01:42] Carl Lanore: [00:01:42] fall in line.

[00:01:43] Coach Rob Regish: [00:01:43] It's time for the blueprint power hour with coach

[00:01:47] Carl Lanore: [00:01:47] Rob Ray gash on the superhuman

[00:01:49] Coach Rob Regish: [00:01:49] radio network.

[00:01:53] Carl Lanore: [00:01:53] Hey Rob, how you doing?

[00:01:55] Coach Rob Regish: [00:01:55] Good man. I'll tell you. Guilt-free snacking sounds good to me.

[00:01:58] Carl Lanore: [00:01:58] You know, Shannon [00:02:00] Penna, um, loves to cook, but she loves to take things that taste amazing, that you want to binge eat, uh, and make them actually healthy to binge eat. And she's amazing. And then Ron Penn, I can't. Uh, pay him enough credit.

[00:02:23] The guy is, he's a genius, not just in business, but just as a person. Uh, he's an amazing individual. Two to two super people, uh, joined together. Uh, it's, it's unbeatable team. They really are. How are you doing?

[00:02:40] Coach Rob Regish: [00:02:40] I'm doing great. I had a, a, a great workout yesterday, the last heavy one of my loading pattern before ID load max out.

[00:02:49] Uh, but that went well. And, uh, you know, what can I say? I'm healthy and happy. Right? 50 years old. So it could be doing a lot [00:03:00] worse.

[00:03:00] Carl Lanore: [00:03:00] So you and I were talking off the air. Oh, feedback. Uh, you and I were talking off the air. I have really got my sleep dialed in and we were talking about how. This journey of physical culture where where it's performance is so important that you're willing to make sure your sleep works, your diet works, your supplementation works, your training works, and you get to a point where you feel so amazing, so amazing.

[00:03:29] You feel so strong, so energetic, so mentally prepared, so, so, so excited about life. And, and that, and that when things go wrong, like in 2018, two foot surgeries totally derailed any serious training for me. You know what? It feels like to feel amazing and you, and you can't wait to get back there. And actually, I'm getting back there right now.

[00:03:53] I can feel it. And the truth of the matter is 90% of the population never know what it [00:04:00] feels like to feel that way. So they have no reference, uh, of, of. What it feels like to just have everything, like all the, all the planets line up. Audio is just functioning 1000%. Isn't that sad?

[00:04:16] Coach Rob Regish: [00:04:16] Yeah, it is sad. But, um, you know, as physical culture is, we have a gut check, right?

[00:04:22] And that's the gym. And so where most people might be able to, to be on a chronic sleep deficit and drag themselves through a day of work. Um, if you get, when you get to the gym and you're in a chronic sleep deficit, you are not going to outperform the last time that you were in there, which is the whole reason you go anyway.

[00:04:43] And consequently, we have a population that thinks that feeling this way is normal and it's not. It's crazy.

[00:04:54] Carl Lanore: [00:04:54] Yeah, it's, it's actually very sad and it's at the root of a lot of the illness that we see in [00:05:00] this country too. But anyway, I digress. So your training is going good. That's exciting. Anything exciting over at  dot com.

[00:05:08] Coach Rob Regish: [00:05:08] Yup. We're going to have a  is going to be shipping next week. I am told so round about the middle of next week. If you have your synth agenda order end, it'll be going out the door first come first served, and it has been a long wait four plus months.

[00:05:25] Carl Lanore: [00:05:25] I know. I see people commenting about that. They're waiting for it and waiting for it and waiting for it.

[00:05:29] I know.

[00:05:30] Coach Rob Regish: [00:05:30] I see that. It's unfortunate, but it's, it's on the way. There was a call made to the lab yesterday just to confirm the timing. So, uh. Hey, you know what? If you're in line, look for your bottles soon.

[00:05:43] Carl Lanore: [00:05:43] Couldn't you just put green tea extract in there? Nobody would have known.

[00:05:49] Coach Rob Regish: [00:05:49] Oh, they would know. All right.

[00:05:50] When they use it.

[00:05:52] Carl Lanore: [00:05:52] All right, so let's start off with the first question that comes from Dan Pansky. I hope I'm pronouncing that right. Dan. Uh, [00:06:00] Dan says. Let me get back here. I'm sorry. I really think what's missing in my personal case, a higher IGF one level, so I've been looking at G H releasers. My first stop was MK six 77 but that stuff put almost 10 pounds of water weight on me.

[00:06:18] I've also heard arginine works, so I started researching that and other amino acids. Finally finding a product called secreted Gog. One gold. Can you tell me if it works? Uh, and whether effervescent delivery really makes a big difference.

[00:06:37] Coach Rob Regish: [00:06:37] Yeah.

[00:06:38] Carl Lanore: [00:06:38] Yeah. Well, those, those burps that you let out afterwards, what triggers a growth hormone release?

[00:06:46] Coach Rob Regish: [00:06:46] Um, well, for, I want to tell you first and foremost, if you think IGF one levels are your rate limiting problem, which I really doubt they are, but if that's what you think, then the first step in my mind is to get a [00:07:00] blood test for him. Right, cause you got, you need to know where you stand. Personally I doubt the absence of any, just one hormone can make that much of a difference.

[00:07:11] Now. Yes. Things like testosterone replacement therapy make a big difference for guys. But still, if you're talking about, you know, optimizing muscle gain and fat law. It's never just about one hormone. It's about all of them working in concert with each other. And so when you hear here are people, you know, hearkening back to their youth and saying to themselves, my God, I can't believe how good I used to feel, how fast I would recover from, you know, training or injuries.

[00:07:44] What they're talking about was that hormonal symphony of all. Of your hormones. Okay. And, and there are a lot of people still looking for the fountain of youth. It hasn't happened yet and I rather doubt today's supplements are going to [00:08:00] do that for you. But let's talk about this. She created a God one product, cause I do see it advertised heavily all over the net.

[00:08:07] So as I looked at it, um, the main. Ingredients in terms of boosting. G H seemed to be a five and a half gram prop blend of the following glycine, which we discussed before, glutamine, GABA, and alpha GPC amongst a few other things in there. And while all of those have been shown to result in more GH really.

[00:08:33] Um, none of them elevated around the clock and therefore their impact is going to be minimal, at least for what you know you're looking at.

[00:08:41] Carl Lanore: [00:08:41] Well, Oh, well Robin, let, let, let, let's, and I know you and I are on the same page with what I'm about to say, but a lot of these growth hormone releasing products that claim to raise your growth home at 100% when you're producing virtually no growth hormone or so little growth hormone, raising it 100% doubling it is virtually meaningless.

[00:09:00] [00:09:00] If you think you're going to get. Uh, from an oral supplement, what you would get from either Frank growth hormone injections or injecting real peptides that raise growth hormone, you're mistaken.

[00:09:14] Coach Rob Regish: [00:09:14] Yeah. And when it comes to these aminos that I just mentioned. Um, you, you need multiple grams of each to see any, any, any GH release that was seen in the studies.

[00:09:26] Now,

[00:09:27] Carl Lanore: [00:09:27] if G H is, uh, equivalent to diarrhea, then they definitely raised  dramatically because they will create it. They will keep you very close to the house after you take them. Yeah.

[00:09:41] Coach Rob Regish: [00:09:41] Thank you for reminding me. Because if you use effective amounts, like let's say. Oh, you know, the conversation starts in terms of glycine, you know, at about 10 grams.

[00:09:53] You better keep the Sharman handy, or at least, you know, start with two grams and go up gradually.

[00:09:58] Carl Lanore: [00:09:58] And arginine is another one, [00:10:00] right? What do you have? Don't you have to take 10 grams of arginine in order to have the, uh, the, the, uh, uh, effect on somatostatin that you're looking for? At least that'll keep you home for an hour or two crapping.

[00:10:14] Coach Rob Regish: [00:10:14] And I don't know if you've ever tried it, but our Janina is one of the most bitter

[00:10:19] Carl Lanore: [00:10:19] substance tastes on these horrible idea

[00:10:22] Coach Rob Regish: [00:10:22] on earth. So, you know, the aminos and the other things that are in here that purport to elevate G H are not in there in the levels that do it even transiently. So, uh, we get to effervescent delivery.

[00:10:38] This came about several years ago. Uh, and I think it was first used in conjunction with creatine. And while it is true that, you know, it can cause the stomach to dump its contents in the duodenum, um, faster. There's nothing related to that that points to the greater GH release. I [00:11:00] think it might be a product differentiator because you get to see the little fizz and look in your cup, I guess.

[00:11:06] Um, but you know, it's a gimmick. It's a gimmick. So, so here's what I would tell you. If you are going to use one of these natural options, one of these amino acids in lieu of something like MK six 77 real growth hormone, I have long told people to pick either GABA. Or glycine and dose that appropriately at bedtime, ideally on an empty stomach.

[00:11:34] Now, yes, there is research step. Both of those do elevate growth hormone in GABAs case, four to 500%. Um, whether you're exercising or not, or before sleep, but that's not why I recommend them. I recommend them because both of those amino acids also have studies in a whole heap of anecdotal evidence showing [00:12:00] deeper sleep, deeper and better sleep and sleep.

[00:12:04] As we discussed earlier, Carl, you and I is when your body repairs itself, the muscles grow larger and stronger. The fat loss happens. Your batteries are recharged. Simply sleeping better will lead to a more productive cascade of all of those hormones that I mentioned that are necessary. To maximize training adaptations, right?

[00:12:29] Building more muscle and burning more fat. So here's the bottom line. I would stick with the two amino acids that I mentioned. The unlike the others, glycine is actually sweet and GABA has virtually no taste. I would, um, use the glycine. I would build up. Slowly to 10 grams. Uh, and as far as the GABA goes, I would start at two grams and maybe work up to five.

[00:12:55] At the most. They are economical, they are effective [00:13:00] for much deeper and better sleep. And you certainly don't need effervescent delivery with either one of them.

[00:13:07] Carl Lanore: [00:13:07] The whole purpose for effervesce effervescent, supposedly is it neutralizes stomach acid. Uh, but the reality is that amino acids go right through the lining of the stomach and into the bloodstream.

[00:13:21] They're not affected. They're not affected by the, uh, the acidity of the, of the gut. So, go ahead. I'm sorry. I was going

[00:13:28] Coach Rob Regish: [00:13:28] to say, especially isolated amino acids.

[00:13:30] Carl Lanore: [00:13:30] Yeah, that fast. They go right into the bloodstream, but, but, but if you really serious, if you're really serious about raising growth hormone, go to this website.

[00:13:41] Peptide sciences.com if you've never bought from them before, use the code SHR and you'll save 10% off your first order and order the CJC plus G HRP six combined in one vial at four milliliters of [00:14:00] bacteriostatic water or sterile water for injection to that. Got to refrigerate it after that, before you add water to it.

[00:14:08] You can keep it in the freezer for up to two years. It'll stay good and then get an insulin insulin syringe and pull it back just to the 10 unit Mark and inject that three times a day first thing in the morning, sometime in between a meal in the afternoon and about a half hour before bedtime. And you will produce the growth hormone that you did when you were 16 years old, three times a day.

[00:14:34] And if you do that consistently, if you really do that consistently and give it about three months, you go, Oh God, three months, dude. Three months is what it takes to see the changes in from growth hormone. Even if you're injecting Franc or growth hormone, you'll, you'll feel and start to notice things in two weeks, but in three months you'll be leaner.

[00:14:55] You will have more muscle, you'll be sleeping better, you'll feel better. [00:15:00] Your hair will grow faster, your nails will grow faster. If you do that, then you are actually taking a truly pharmacological approach, raising growth hormone that you're never going to see on a commercial on TV. You're never going, you know, Sarah vital.

[00:15:14] You're never going to see it in a, in a magazine. You're never gonna see it anywhere because why? Because it really, really works. So

[00:15:24] Coach Rob Regish: [00:15:24] yeah, that's great. That's, that's,

[00:15:26] Carl Lanore: [00:15:26] that's the thing I do it. I do it three times a day. I'm 61 years old. And you know what? I've come back from some really severe injuries. Uh, I'm training.

[00:15:36] I will be squatting and dead lifting within the next two to three months. And then the sky's the limit for me. I'll try my best not to injure myself. That's the real thing. All right, so the next one comes from, uh, Phil Tom keel, and he says.

[00:15:57] Coach Rob Regish: [00:15:57] The question here, come on,

[00:16:00] [00:16:00] Carl Lanore: [00:16:00] I need a new mouse.

[00:16:01] Coach Rob Regish: [00:16:01] This mouse doesn't work anymore.

[00:16:02] Carl Lanore: [00:16:02] I want to know what you think about Biotest supplements. Boy, I haven't thought about them in years. These guys will all the rage 20 years ago and they're still around today, which you say is a good thing. Do you have. Any worth look, anything worth looking into.

[00:16:19] Coach Rob Regish: [00:16:19] Yeah. You know, um, Biotest which is the supplement arm of testosterone.net.

[00:16:25] They, they were in fact doing some very innovative things 20 years ago. Today they are much like AST research, in my opinion, the sitting on a stale product line with some good products. Um. Some bad products and a lot of mediocre ones that are just frankly overpriced basics. Um, now I will say this, I referenced that they were innovative at one time, if I'm not mistaken, they were the very first with transdermal for Android dial.

[00:17:00] [00:17:00] And also, nor for Andrew dial. Okay. And those were, I remember one was called Andrew Saul, and I think the other one was called Nando Saul. They were their respective pro hormones in a, in a very simple ice, approachable alcohol base and nothing more

[00:17:16] Carl Lanore: [00:17:16] guys are propyl alcohol. Gets about 10% of what's compounded into it through the skin, but only for a short time because the alcohol has such an astringent effect on the skin that once the skin becomes dried out, nothing gets in.

[00:17:32] Um, the, the, the flux across the skin requires the skin to be well-hydrated. I, I spent a lifetime, uh, compounding. Transdermal, so I'm telling you that that was like a real, like you are wasting so much product, but go ahead. I'm sorry.

[00:17:51] Coach Rob Regish: [00:17:51] Yeah. So I'll tell you what though, I do remember a distinct, you know, lift in mood at least from there for a D [00:18:00] product of the little bit that did get through, but be that as it may their best product way back when was probably something called mag 10 it was a comp that was a combination of four a D.

[00:18:13] Fo carbonate, which was there, you know, they extended the half life and the duration, yada yada. And. A one testosterone, which most people would have been probably more familiar with as methyl one test. But nonetheless, those two were in this orally active solution that tasted like red hots, if I remember that.

[00:18:35] But, um, the current mag 10 product they have is nothing like that. It contains no problem whatsoever. They also used to have a nor ephedrine based fat burner. One of, I think only two to ever appear on the market. Centracs had the other one. Um, and I can't remember the name of that product, but, uh, it, it w they were both very sharp province.

[00:19:00] [00:19:00] Biotest also pushed some real losers. So chief among those was a product called methoxy seven.

[00:19:07] Carl Lanore: [00:19:07] Was that what I was just looking for that wasn't that the one that was in a base of 100% cholesterol.

[00:19:14] Coach Rob Regish: [00:19:14] Lester row tasting.

[00:19:16] Carl Lanore: [00:19:16] Let me tell you something. The cholesterol was building muscle. It really was. It wasn't the methoxy isoflavone that was in there.

[00:19:22] Coach Rob Regish: [00:19:22] Yeah, you're absolutely right. But that was a real stinkers. A Mio, something called myo stat CSP three which was a purported natural myostatin inhibitor, which was derived from seaweed. And Karbala 19, which is a four school on base product that they, they claim outperforms and a VAR in their advertising.

[00:19:46] And I'm almost certain that's still up there today. They seem to be pushing this stuff, uh, Indigo something or other. It's an oral, I guess, which is a, uh. It's loaded what they [00:20:00] call the world of those things in blueberries, proanthocyanidins

[00:20:03] Carl Lanore: [00:20:03] and anthro signings. Yeah.

[00:20:05] Coach Rob Regish: [00:20:05] Okay. So it's built, it's billed as this glucose disposal type product.

[00:20:10] Um, the only place I've heard about it, doing good things or noticeable things are on Biotest boards, which are heavily, heavily, um,

[00:20:18] Carl Lanore: [00:20:18] seated with

[00:20:19] Coach Rob Regish: [00:20:19] chills. Yeah, exactly. And so otherwise, you know, the rest of their line, they have 'em. They have a TribeX, I think an alpha male product, which are probably among their best sellers.

[00:20:32] They contain tribulus and URI coma longer folia as well as the four school and as their active ingredients. But again, you know, I would tell you they're simply over pipe overpriced. Trib. Longer folia and forskolin, you know, you'd do much better buying the highly purified single ingredients if you're looking to go that route.

[00:20:55] So here's the bottom line on bio test. Other than a [00:21:00] couple of things, like maybe their protein powder and they've got a fish oil product that's. Uh, what of the, I forget the name of flameout flameouts the name of it. There's nothing that really interests me there. I don't think any of the mainstream people are interested in it either.

[00:21:15] I think they might go there to read some of the articles and they've got a certain, they certainly have a deep bench there, but you know what, uh, even in the case of their protein powder for official oil, you can buy better and usually get a better price on it. Thrives. A great example. You know, and, and, um, Carlson's fish oil.

[00:21:38] There's another one,

[00:21:39] Carl Lanore: [00:21:39] the best, the best fish oil products on the market today, but you have to search for them made by a company called Metagenics. Uh, this company has dedicated millions and millions of dollars to science. Of fish oil. They even have some rarefied forms where they've isolated just certain components of fish oil and [00:22:00] concentrate them called SPM actives that literally, uh, force inflammation to resolve, not, not suppressed.

[00:22:07] Big difference resolved. So there, if you want good fish oil products, look for Metagenics.

[00:22:13] Coach Rob Regish: [00:22:13] Yeah. So perfect example there.

[00:22:16] Carl Lanore: [00:22:16] Danny, Danny, Geraldo, or Kondo says, uh, how effective is CJC 1295 with the input? Maryellen, it's very effective. It's just as effective as . The problem is that for some reason the food and drug administration has told, uh, the, uh, compounding pharmacists that they can no longer offer GHR P six.

[00:22:36] I have no idea why that is. Um. Yeah, just GA Charpie six, like tailor-made. They can't get you a CJC 1295 with GHR.  even though it's probably more effective than the implant Maryellen, but the impa Maryellen is effective too. Yes. Those, to use it the way I said Danny. Uh, you want to take it three times a day, first thing in [00:23:00] the morning before you eat, sometime in the afternoon in between meals, at least an hour to an hour and a half after a meal and then before bed.

[00:23:08] And if before bed makes you stay awake, cut your dose back. That's all you need to do there. Okay. So, uh, the next question we have comes from Jerry Denning and Jerry says, what are your thoughts on. Training to failure, does it work? And if so, what's the best way to use it? I've tried it in the past and had great results, but could never stick with it.

[00:23:36] Coach Rob Regish: [00:23:36] Yeah. You know what? Every few years training to failure, uh, enjoys this Renaissance of sorts. Right. So that's probably why you're seeing it come around again for too many years. The strength training community. Has lacked accurate measurements, and this is where I'm going with one set to failure training to failure way [00:24:00] back when was a, was an early way to ensure that you hit 100% of something, right?

[00:24:08] Because you can measure it in many different ways, but if you can no longer, if you carry it to the point where you can no longer lift the weight. Then that you have reached content-rich failure and early advocates like Arthur Jones. Uh, he was quick to point out though shortly after writing about that, that there was one more than one way to skin a cat, meaning, uh, eccentric failure.

[00:24:35] So you might not be able to continue to lift right away. However, you can still at that point, lower and even heavier weight under control, um, until you can no longer write, control it. And then the rep speed increases dramatically and it drops. So Jones was very fun. Of writing articles about [00:25:00] negatives and how much they helped him.

[00:25:02] He claimed miraculous results in both himself and others. And so as soon spread to, you know, other in, in various other forms to his students, I have tried negative only training and, and used it as he recommend. Um, and it'll certainly make you stronger. However, I'll be honest with you. I, I will say that I think you need the concentrate part of the lift as well.

[00:25:32] There's no question in my mind. There are benefits in both. And so looked at, from my perspective, there are benefits to hitting positive, muscular failure and negative. It's no accident, almost everyone with lots of muscle performs both, right? I mean, how many, how many pro bodybuilders. Ever stepped down to the Olympia stage and said, Hey, I did all this doing negatives.

[00:25:58] Right? It just doesn't, it [00:26:00] just doesn't happen. Um, you know, they're, they're not going to get up there and say, I built this body using just static holds. But anyway, back to failure for a moment in my mind, right? There are three types. There's concentrates, there's East centric, and then there's static. Right?

[00:26:16] Static failure. There may even be a fourth type if you think about it, and that's partial repetitions in the strongest range to failure. I think if you're going to try this, you need to start slow. Okay. With maybe concentric only failure first,

[00:26:34] Carl Lanore: [00:26:34] once a week.

[00:26:36] Coach Rob Regish: [00:26:36] Right, and that's the other part of this. You didn't notice.

[00:26:39] You need more recovery time when you're training to failure. It's just how it is now. Negatives can be incorporated at some point, but only sparingly, in my opinion. Not every workout, static holds or partial reps. those are the domain today, uh, of Pete Cisco. And [00:27:00] I think he's This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. he has some very

[00:27:05] This is what's, um, I was looking at this the other day. It was pretty savvy. I'd like to know more about it. He has some interesting training software that uses a predictive index to tell you how soon you can productively train again, and how long is too long? Right? So we know there's a range. And there's a, there's a range where you can go back in there and make progress again.

[00:27:32] And you know, there's an early range and there's a late range when it's too late. It's called I think, engineered gym or engineered strength or something like that. And you know, if you're interested in high intensity training and training to failure, I would encourage you to look into it. You know, it could be something that could help you tremendously.

[00:27:53] He's big on measuring. And I, you will know within a month whether or not it's working for you. [00:28:00] Apparently the software, uh, gets better and better the more, the longer you use it given it has more data points. Right. I, for the life of me, I can't imagine how it can account for things though. Like lack of sleep,

[00:28:15] Carl Lanore: [00:28:15] a bad night's sleep derails every, right.

[00:28:17] Coach Rob Regish: [00:28:17] Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that has to be included, but here's the bottom line. Training to fail your works, but like all training, the body doesn't respond forever to it. You can absolutely refine it though, for your purposes. And so the classic example being in the blueprint, the original blueprint, we use it, but in a very judicious manner, in fact, for for just five workouts, but we use it as a very, at a very specific time, which.

[00:28:53] We use it more or less as a bridge into bigger and better things, and it works [00:29:00] incredibly well, especially as you come off of a higher volume phase, like everything else, it eventually stops working, but you can milk it for a good long while

[00:29:11] Carl Lanore: [00:29:11] if you want to. And I don't think it, I don't think it necessarily stops working permanently.

[00:29:16] I think what happens is people overuse. So th th these types of advanced techniques are so depleting of the nervous system. They cause such fatigue that the body's not to protect itself. Uh, so, and this is why it's so important. What you just said is that you use it sparingly. You know, you just don't use it like training to failure every single session, unless you're literally going home and sleeping.

[00:29:47] Hour for an hour, hour or two after you work out, and then you're getting a good night's sleep every single night and your calories are high because we know that over-training is, is directly related to [00:30:00] your intake of calories that we talked about that and then that study. So if you're doing all those things, you may be able to.

[00:30:08] Train to failure more frequently through the week. But the reality is if you're doing things like static holes, so, so if you do a static, you notice that there becomes a point where the muscle starts to undulate you are holding on. That undulation is nerves firing fibers that were not engaged. It's going, Oh, these two fibers are about to collapse.

[00:30:32] They can't hold it. So let's fire two fresh fibers. And so. That process puts a great demand on the nervous system. You just can't come back and do that three days in a row. You may be able to, don't get me wrong, but you won't get gains from it. In fact, you'll start getting weaker. So if you use these advanced training methods, you have to be very sparing with them.

[00:30:55] Coach Rob Regish: [00:30:55] Yeah. That reminds me, I was taught once that if you reach a point [00:31:00] during your workout where your hands are trembling, visibly trembling, you're no longer working your muscles, you're frying your nervous system. And you know what? That's been pretty good advice over the years. You know, there were times when I just sit down and they tried to hold my hand still as much as possible, but you can see it trembling a little bit.

[00:31:19] Um.

[00:31:21] Carl Lanore: [00:31:21] Exactly. It's getting tired and you don't, I, so we have a question from Michael Kane that we're going to lead off the next segment with. Uh, we'll, we'll come back. So stay tuned. You're listening to the blueprint power hour visit coach Rob rakish.com often. Get stronger faster. We'll be right back.

[00:31:40] Coach Rob Regish: [00:31:40] You are listening to the superhuman channel.

[00:31:42] Carl Lanore: [00:31:42] We're ripped and we're ready.

[00:31:53] Coach Rob Regish: [00:31:53] welcome back.

[00:31:55] Carl Lanore: [00:31:55] So, uh, we have a question from the audience. We have a question for you, Michael Kane. [00:32:00] I'd like to take a crack at this one first, if you don't mind, coach. Sure. So he says, uh, because this is a personal problem of mine, right? I'm the, I'm the guy who just trained back yesterday, but I see you dead lifting, so I want to go dead lift with you, even though that's not a sensible thing to do.

[00:32:15] Um, I know what you mean about loving training. It's really, I love to train. If I never gained another ounce of muscle or strength, I would still show up at the gym every day. How do you overcome your love of training and stepping back when you're doing too much, but feel like. You can keep going. So to to think about something that Lee Haney says, matter of fact, I'm trying to get him on the show cause he's aging great.

[00:32:43] You know, Lee said you can train intense or you can train long, but you can't do both. And I'd like to modify that. You can train intense or you can train long or more frequent. But you can't [00:33:00] treat both. And that is the answer that I've discovered. Michael. Uh, I am training every day right now, but I'm hitting, I'm doing a whole body workout.

[00:33:12] I'm only doing two sets, and I'm undulating where one day I go in and I train low reps and a heavyweight. The next day I come in and I lighten up a little. The next day I come in, I lighten up a little bit more, just two sets, so I'm not exhausting the muscle. I'm not taking the muscle and doing so much collateral damage to the muscle and the nervous system that the next day I'm super weak.

[00:33:39] I'm not because I'm just doing two sets, but if you do that five days a week, you're doing 10 sets per body part. That has a great impact on muscle growth and strength gains without destroying you. Now think about it. If you are a construction worker and your boss said, [00:34:00] our job is to move all those bricks and build this wall this week, you wouldn't show up to work and go, how can I make this the hardest I can for myself?

[00:34:11] No, you'd pace yourself. You'd pace yourself. You go, okay, I'm going to move 150 bricks a day. I'm going to lay them in the wall and cement them, and I'll do that five days a week. I do the math in my head. The wall is built. You don't show up day one and go, I'm going to crush myself. I'm going to try to do this all in one day.

[00:34:28] We need to start to recognize that exercise is the modern replacement for work and activity that we used to do. And you're in decades past, right? We were laborers. We were Hunter gatherers, and so now exercise, Oh, we can crush ourselves in an hour where before we had to like save energy. So if you start thinking of your training more like you would work, then you could see how you could show up every day and do your work.

[00:34:59] Go home [00:35:00] and eat dinner, sleep good, and show up again and do the same work again and make progress. And progression is the key here, not crushing yourself. So that's what I've discovered for myself. You back off on the intensity or you oscillate the intensity, you back off on the duration. You don't train that muscle.

[00:35:21] For for for 30 sets one day and you spread it out over the course of a week and you end up getting all the work done that you need to make progress. Go ahead, coach. You jumped in.

[00:35:32] Coach Rob Regish: [00:35:32] Well, for me, the motor, the motivator, I guess is not being on dialysis.

[00:35:37] Carl Lanore: [00:35:37] Yeah, you have a different problem,

[00:35:39] Coach Rob Regish: [00:35:39] right. Having had a multiple rhabdo episodes, but let me tell you what I am doing because.

[00:35:46] I'm limiting myself now since my last one to two days a week with the weights. So similar situation. What do you do on those other days when I feel like I can go in into [00:36:00] the gym today, even after deadlifting yesterday, I feel like I could go in and crush it. I think it becomes a matter of taking that energy and putting it towards something else and something else could be.

[00:36:14] I'm going to train my son and his friend, and therefore, you know, I'm still in the gym. I'm still, you know, around weights and I'm helping people. And that's a great feeling. You can also take that energy and redirect it towards what you are not good at. Which for me is cardio, right? I mean, working your heart and lungs on the pipes is a weak area for me.

[00:36:41] I'm just not, you know, I, I've, the muscle that I have built is certainly not slow Twitch. I, I've learned that. Um, but it's something for me to look at and say, I can go in today and I can still exert myself. I can push the sleds, you know, sled sprints. I can run [00:37:00] on the treadmill, I can do these other things.

[00:37:02] And. Bring my weak areas up without having to resort to heavy weights. And the other thing that you might want to do with that time and energy, frankly, um, is right. And I know a lot of people probably. Don't want to do that or wouldn't think about doing that, but writing down, you know, what your, what your training, how your training is going, especially as compared to looking back in your training journals where you were a year ago.

[00:37:33] In fact, that's a very good, that's a good exercise. Write a couple paragraphs on where you were a year ago and were and where you are today. You know, it's going to be an eye opener for a lot of people. Um, a lot of people, and hopefully it'll help give you some direction when you do go back into the gym.

[00:37:51] Yeah.

[00:37:52] Carl Lanore: [00:37:52] Yep. So the next question comes from, uh, bill surreally and he says, I know you speak highly of [00:38:00] the trap bar, dead lift, but I'm hesitant because I usually dead lift Sumo style, won't I lose strength? I'm not competing anymore. And just doing this to look better and stay strong.

[00:38:13] Coach Rob Regish: [00:38:13] Yeah. Well, the trap bar dead lift it.

[00:38:16] It's a tremendous exercise. I've talked about it many times here, but there are some nuances you should be aware of. First, it's really, uh, uh, you know, the best of a hybrid between the squat and the deadlift, right? Which it gives you, you know, the best of beach. That's my personal feeling. It is safer.

[00:38:38] Certainly safer than a regular deadlift given, right? It centers your weight and there's less temptation to lean forward using more of your lower back to lift the weight. Now, ironically, the studies show that you can lift around 7% more with a trap bar versus a regular deadlift. I say, ironically, because to [00:39:00] me.

[00:39:01] It feels like you can't, you can evolve your lower back to the same thing, you know, to the same degree, and therefore you're not going to be able to get that extra right into the lift. Um, so you'd think you're not able to lift as much weight. At least in my case, that's what's true. And if I, when I go back to a, uh, a straight bar deadlift from a trap bar, I reliably lift more weight.

[00:39:29] And maybe I'm an anomaly, but that's, it is what it is. So be that as it may, uh, it is still a tremendous lift and I think you should give it a shot. There's another nuance, so you should be aware of, it's more of a quad dominant movement, right, than it is. I'm working the posterior chain and we live on a, in a, in a world of quad dominant people, like quite a few, quite a few.

[00:39:56] So. Your posterior chain. Uh, Luke's [00:40:00] hams lower back. Are probably going to need some more work. Um, and I would suggest to do that work. Either something like box squatting, if your back can take it, uh, do both of them. Or if your lower back can't take it, there's the reverse hyper. There's the glute ham raise.

[00:40:17] Um, there are wide stance belt squats following right, following your trap bar work. Another movement, and this one is way underrated and way under utilized, in my opinion, are wide stance leverage squats. You know, the leverage squat for whatever reason, just not stress my lower back anyway. And I would argue most people's, the way irregular squat does, and it's a fantastic tool because of the many different foot positions you can put yourself in.

[00:40:48] When you step inside of a trap bar, you're not going to, you know, that's not going to be a wide stance. It is by its very nature, right? A close stance and there's nothing wrong with that. Just understand the [00:41:00] muscles on your backside need to get work too. Okay. Glued ham bridges are also an excellent assistance lift to work that posterior chain with almost zero right or zero vertical compression of the spine.

[00:41:13] One final note, if you plan to trap bar dead lift and occasionally go back to your Sumo dead deadlifts, which is fine, you know, everybody curves that it's okay. To use the high handles. I'm the trap R as opposed to the low ones because the high handles more accurately reflect the shorter duration or the shorter range of motion rep rather of the bar stroke, right on a Sumo deadlift and it'll help them to carry over.

[00:41:42] So I hope that helps. Um, they're, they're both great lifts, and I would encourage you to do both.

[00:41:49] Carl Lanore: [00:41:49] Another, another forgotten movement because most people don't do them right. And they end up hurting themselves, uh, is the good morning. Yeah. [00:42:00] This is great for the lower back, the glutes and the hamstrings. Uh, and a lot of people find out that they much stronger than they ever thought they were.

[00:42:08] Uh, when doing a good morning. So that's another one. But you gotta make sure you're doing it right. Uh, okay. So Danny, a Geraldo or Kendo has another question I'm going to pop up here real quick. He says, what are the peptide is effective or more than fragment? One 76 one 91, which is also known as AOD nine six Oh four.

[00:42:27] So there's a couple of things you need to know about this peptide. Number one, if you take it and you don't use growth hormones, accreta, Gaga. It will actually suppress the natural growth hormone production of your body. Because you've got to remember, this is a fragment of growth hormone. And, and, and your body has a feedback loops and it sees this, this fragment, and it thinks, Oh, wow, we got a lot of growth hormone.

[00:42:50] But in fact, this particular peptide, AOD nine six Oh four Oh one 76 to one 91, which was the old school name, um, [00:43:00] has a unique, uh, fat loss. Ability without the potential negative effects of growth hormone on this. Then why people use this, right? They use this because for some reason they don't want to use growth hormone.

[00:43:14] You could just use growth hormone or growth hormone secreted Gog, like we just talked about, get the same result. The other thing is. The mistake that people make with ALD nine six Oh four, which by the way, is becoming very popular for people who have soft tissue injuries and, and uh, and also being used in treating certain autoimmune disorders.

[00:43:35] Uh, so keep in mind, again, it's a portion of grope homo. It has pleiotropic effects, but that whole. That whole fragment that they're cutting off and throwing away also has important effects, but the problem that people have with the fragment. And they say, Oh, it doesn't work is you've got to inject this multiple times a day.

[00:43:57] I've heard as much as five times a [00:44:00] day. In order to see the fat loss, you'd be better off using the CJC 1295 with impa Maryellen, or CJC 1295 with J HRP six three times a day, and you will still see the fat loss, but you'll also have lots of other benefits. I'm not a big fan of AOD nine six Oh four. By itself.

[00:44:18] I think it should only be used when you're using growth hormones, accreta, Gog, that also making sure you don't shut off your own growth hormone production. 

[00:44:29] Coach Rob Regish: [00:44:29] the only thing I can add to that is when fragment one 76 was new, I used it. Did not use it multiple times a day. Did not use it with another, right. G, H R H and got absolutely zilch out of them.

[00:44:42] And now I know why. Um, but it's, I guess that's a cautionary tale. And. You know, instead of jumping on every single new thing that comes out, maybe give it a few months to see how it's optimally used. Yeah,

[00:44:56] Carl Lanore: [00:44:56] yeah. I got, I got to put this up cause it's kind of funny. Jeff Clifton says, I'm going to try [00:45:00] hip thrusts after watching Carl doing them with the Buick, that actually those weren't even heavy.

[00:45:05] So it was 365 pounds. I, I've done five, 500 pounds for reps. I don't know that I could do that today. Uh, but once my, my glutes and my lower back and my legs get strong again. I will. I will do those again. But thank you very much. That's a very nice compliment for you to say to me. Uh, so the next question comes from, uh, Matthew Lawrence and Matthew says you've got extremely broad shoulders.

[00:45:32] What specifically do you do to get great shoulders like that? Where are they always wide and what exercises helped you develop them the most? I would imagine so a bit. It's clavicle, right? I mean, you could probably have the bone structure too, right?

[00:45:48] Coach Rob Regish: [00:45:48] Interestingly enough, no. Wow. And, and I have some theories behind, and I can see that by the way, in trending my son now, uh, who, who, when he started, he [00:46:00] had extremely narrow shoulders.

[00:46:02] And my father, same thing, very narrow shoulders. I will, I will tell you that. Uh, and it's a guess, but it's probably a good guess, um, that. Those breathing squats and pullovers had something to do with it, giving me a bigger shelf, right. To develop Delta. But there's an old saying in bodybuilding and it goes like this.

[00:46:25] You can't hide weak shoulders. And they're absolutely right. And the trouble is that due to, you know, for a lot of people anyway, due to all the bench pressing that goes on. The front delts get way over developed. It pulls the entire body forward, which in addition to leading to injuries, ruins your, the appearance of your shoulders.

[00:46:48] Now you can stop these people a mile away, uh, by the way that their hands fall at their sides. You will notice that their palms are rotated backwards, [00:47:00] always, always. And again, they're being pulled forward by their. From Delta and they're extremely weak, if not non-existent rear notes. So that's a telltale sign.

[00:47:13] If you're doing that and you catch yourself doing it, that's a telltale sign that, um, you've have way overdeveloped front delts and you need to get to work on the back. Now, in terms of how I got. Here, um, which is no world record, but I do get nice comments on the shoulders and a lot of people ask me about it.

[00:47:34] My story is this, my genetics actually favor narrow shoulders. That's how it started out. So I had to build them. And a big part of that was breathing, squats and breathing. Pullovers I would also tell you that in my youth I did a lot of overhead pressing, uh, both standing and seated. And I also did something called the Bradford press.

[00:47:57] I don't know which I, I think we've touched on on this [00:48:00] show. Um, but if you look it up, you know, you start from a position, the bar's under the chin, it goes just over the head and then to the back, and then back again. For whatever reason, my shoulder development really took off when I started doing those.

[00:48:16] And I don't know if it was just a timing thing or what, but, but that's what happened.

[00:48:23] Carl Lanore: [00:48:23] I would also

[00:48:23] Coach Rob Regish: [00:48:23] tell you that I was blessed with Bulletproof shoulders, especially in my youth. So, you know, they allowed me to do things that most other people. Uh, are, are not able to do or were not able to do. And I'll give you a good example, even to this day when I had this shoulder operated on the very next day.

[00:48:50] I went into the gym and could get under a squat bar and hold the bar like this. And I know plenty of people in my gym that can't do that period without an injury. It's just [00:49:00] they're so restricted or whatever. It gives them a lot of pain. So I'm somewhat of an anomaly there. Um, now. I never did. So-called isolation movements from my shoulders.

[00:49:13] Things like dumbbell side laterals, front raises when I was young, those were never on the table. It was all about trying to up the amount of weight you could press over your head instead. Uh, uh, you know, instead of those like tuition movements, I ended up building them a little bit by default to meaning.

[00:49:36] That because I usually super setted a push movement with a pull movement. I built very strong front and rear delts because I was doing justice to my pushing and pulling exercises. So you're not thinking about building your doubts, right? You're thinking about your back and your chest. Maybe. Um, but ma'am, the shoulders get it too.

[00:49:57] So when I was doing things like flat dumbbell [00:50:00] presses and see the cable rows. And dip super setted with chins. Those were, that contributed a lot. I think in my late forties, I could no longer overhead press, which was due to this severe arthritis in the right elbow, um, at one. And that took its toll because.

[00:50:20] I came across a picture of myself in the gym and the picture I saw didn't lie. I had lost a lot of shoulder development because of the fact that I wasn't able to press anymore. What brought my shoulders back fast, frankly, were two movements. Number one, the hand stand shoulder press. I taught myself how to do that, and number two, we get back to the leverage squat machine.

[00:50:46] I use that right to stand there and use it as a suppress.

[00:50:49] Carl Lanore: [00:50:49] I see a lot of people

[00:50:50] Coach Rob Regish: [00:50:50] do that extremely effective. Extremely. Especially if you don't put your legs into it,

[00:50:56] Carl Lanore: [00:50:56] it actually mimics a jam of press. Like if you go get a [00:51:00] bar, put it in a corner, you do jammer. You could do that with the leverage squat machine too.

[00:51:04] Right? Right. Yeah, and for those of you who have a really good old fashioned, a calf machine, a standing calf machine, you can do it with the pads on the calf machine too. Yes.

[00:51:16] Coach Rob Regish: [00:51:16] Excellent point. Um, and now, you know, as far as the handstand shoulder presses go, I know you don't see those very often, for whatever reason, and I'm not sure, uh, what this is, I can do those pain-free even with an added weight vest.

[00:51:33] As opposed to if I grew up a barbell and Trump push it overhead, it's excruciating pain, but that's a good lesson in, you don't have to give up. You can find movements where it doesn't hurt or it doesn't hurt as much. So I'm good to go on those, even piling additional weight on, but I only got there because I tried them.

[00:51:55] Right? It's a process. Um, the, the leverage [00:52:00] squat shoulder press, I perform that in a very strict style, no leg drive, and very slow negatives. And I can do those with minimal pain. You know, the, the Hansen shoulder press, I have no pain. Those I have minimal pain on. Um, and between those two movements and did not take much time from my shoulders, right to come, come back and come back fast, I have, uh, I have my son doing something similar.

[00:52:30] And, and again, he started with very narrow shoulders. This is, if he's going into his third year of training now. Um, they are, they have filled out quite a bit, and as well as his back, like I was standing in front of him or in back of him rather the other day, the son of a guns taller than I am now, but his, I was amazed right by his back and shoulders.

[00:52:54] So, um, anyway, you know, there's nothing fancy in what I was doing, [00:53:00] you know, I've, I was doing. Um, 20 rep breathing squats and pullovers. I was super setting dips in Chen's, uh, you know, he's going to be doing push presses. Um, and on the leverage squat machine, he likes those for whatever reason. So I'm, I'm just going to continue to encourage him.

[00:53:18] He did not want to learn the handstand pushup. That's fine. Right? So instead I, I've got them overhead pressing with a trap bar. And if your gym has one and the sleeves are long enough on each end. I would encourage you to absolutely try using a trap bar for the overhead press. Because if you think about it does the same thing that it does with your dead.

[00:53:43] It centers your body perfectly, perfectly.

[00:53:46] Carl Lanore: [00:53:46] So I have very broad shoulders. Structurally. My dad had them and my son has them. And we all suffered from the same problem. Anytime I buy a sports coat or a jacket, there's this rumble of [00:54:00] material right at the base of my neck that has to be trimmed out because my shoulders are so straight across.

[00:54:07] But having big round shoulders is important to me, and that's why. I train my shoulders first. Every time I train. Like right now, I'm doing full body stuff, right? So if you want big round shoulders, train them first. Make them a priority. So the first thing I do when I go into the gym is I do seated dumbbell presses or seated machine presses, number one.

[00:54:29] Then I go over and I do. A dumbbell raises or or machine, uh, lateral raises. You know, where you sit in, and then I do rear Delt on the reverse pec deck. Then I move on to everything else. When I walk into the gym, I'm fresh, I'm strong. I'm excited about being there. I train my shoulders first. So pick the body part that's lagging and make it the priority.

[00:54:51] And every time you go to the gym, train it first. And you watch what happens, watch what happens.

[00:54:57] Coach Rob Regish: [00:54:57] I do the same exact thing, so I [00:55:00] would concur a hundred percent.

[00:55:01] Carl Lanore: [00:55:01] Uh, the next question comes from Todd  and just give me a second to put him up here. And so, uh, Todd says, uh, if anabolic steroids all legalized tomorrow.

[00:55:15] Oh no. He says, I've heard you talk about things like methyl one test before, and it sounds incredible. Uh, may have been fun when they were legal. Let's say all steroids will legalize tomorrow though. What would you take and why?

[00:55:29] Coach Rob Regish: [00:55:29] Yeah, this was a real, I'd never gotten this question. Uh, well, listen, since we're pretending, I'll also pretend I'm young again, and that's

[00:55:37] Carl Lanore: [00:55:37] not,

[00:55:39] Coach Rob Regish: [00:55:39] well, that's not just to be, just to be funny, because as, as you'll see.

[00:55:43] That makes a difference, I think, in, in what your choices are, what you can tolerate, et cetera, et cetera. So I would tell you that if I had my druthers and I was in my 20s again, the first thing I'd want to try is trend because I'm all [00:56:00] about strength. And from everything I've ever heard about trend, it's an incredible, you know, ride strength-wise.

[00:56:09] Um, apparently it doesn't put a lot of weight on you, which is just fine. You

[00:56:13] Carl Lanore: [00:56:13] know, we talked about that yesterday in a show. If you add something that increases estrogen production, it will put ma trend can trend is used as a hardening agent because it creates dry muscle. But that's because it doesn't aromatase number one.

[00:56:27] That's why cattle farmers give a cows trend plus after dial Ben's away. Yeah. And they put on five times more muscle weight when you add the extra dial, and that's the missing link. If you want to both on trend, you've got to have higher estrogen levels. Okay. I'm sorry.

[00:56:43] Coach Rob Regish: [00:56:43] That's okay. Um, I'm just going to say no, that's the, that's the good side of it, right?

[00:56:48] Those are the positives. The trade off would be these peculiar sides, like, like the trend car. Um, although how much to do, how much of that was due to contaminant?

[00:56:59] Carl Lanore: [00:56:59] I never got, I [00:57:00] never got Trent cough when I used trend bologne and Anthi. I only ever got it from trend ACE. I don't think it's the, I don't think it's from the contaminants.

[00:57:09] It could be from the high levels of benzyl alcohol we were using in order to keep it in an aseptic environment. Uh, it also could be the speed in which the, uh, acetate Esther releases into the bloodstream. Uh, I, you know, I, I don't know where the trend cough comes from, but I never, never, I did get it with Trent ACE.

[00:57:29] I never got it with Trent.

[00:57:31] Coach Rob Regish: [00:57:31] Yeah. I, that would be one of the things I guess that would, that would concern me. There are others, I'm not the least of which is, is kidney toxicity, but

[00:57:40] Carl Lanore: [00:57:40] well, and is where more recent research is showing that, uh, it may predispose people to developing dementia later on in life, which I really am not happy about when I read that one.

[00:57:51] I mean, I mean, the high blood pressure, the sleeplessness, the night sweats, that always feeling like you're on the verge of being sick. Uh, [00:58:00] the rapid heartbeat, it sucks. Sucks. Sucks. But once you stop, it starts to go away and, and, and, and it goes away and it's gone. But the whole idea that like 30 years from now, you could end up going, what's my name?

[00:58:12] And it's all because you use trend. That doesn't, that doesn't sound good. That doesn't bode well with me.

[00:58:17] Coach Rob Regish: [00:58:17] Yeah. You know, people that have that I know that have used it, um, have told me that it also makes them feel aggressive as hell. I mean, you know, just like begging for a fight over stupid stuff like

[00:58:30] Carl Lanore: [00:58:30] Rob, I gotta I gotta tell ya those.

[00:58:32] When people have those kinds of personalities, beer makes them feel that way. Drugs make them feel that way. Trenell make them, I was using high levels of trend at a point in my life where I should have wanted to just buy a gun and kill a bunch of people. Never, never did that to me. So I think if you're an asshole, you have the probability of being a much bigger asshole on trend.

[00:58:53] Coach Rob Regish: [00:58:53] That's it. Yeah. Well that's good to know. Um. But being a very laid back person, I don't [00:59:00] think I'd be very concerned with that because those types of things, it's like stimulants. They bring me from down here, just up to normal, you know? And a little aggression in the gym is a good thing. Uh, now one thing that I think would have been very problematic for me.

[00:59:15] Is the sleep, the sleep disturbances. Yeah. You're universally reported as horrible on trend.

[00:59:24] Carl Lanore: [00:59:24] You wake up in the middle of the night, completely covered in sweat, anxiety attacks. Uh, you fall asleep for a little while. You wake up again, you fall asleep for a little while, you wake up again. A lot. A lot of people say, Oh, it's because it's such a strong androgen.

[00:59:36] It's excitatory. I don't believe that. I think it's hormonal. I think what it does to your hormones just Jack you up to a point where you just don't sleep well anymore. Wow. It's almost like women go through menopause. That's what it's like.

[00:59:49] Coach Rob Regish: [00:59:49] Yeah. That's a good point. Um, the other thing, the other thing would be modeling.

[00:59:56] The other thing would be blown kidneys. Um, [01:00:00] which, which I, I never had kidney issues right when I was younger. They don't, they only popped up in their forties, so, you know, I, I probably would have skated by on you. Youth like a lot of people do now. Otherwise, I would have liked to have tried a bombs. Right?

[01:00:15] And of course the ball. A bombs in particular have a reputation of strength builders. One guy at my gym who could be used a lot of it, he told me just being within reach of the tablets would make you stronger. And I laughed. And he said, that's only a, a small exaggeration. Um, but honestly, I would imagine a lot of that has to do with water retention and right.

[01:00:41] And by all accounts, that's a drug that causes massive amounts of that. So I don't, you know, otherwise I don't think it would have bothered with the Anna VARs and the wind straws and the Primos of the world, those who would be a lot safer though, and probably more appropriate for somebody older, but there's [01:01:00] something else I need.

[01:01:01] I would have needed to be concerned with. With, you know, using the drugs that early in life. And that is frankly sterility becoming sterile. Now, it obviously depends, uh, but if you run enough of them or the wrong ones at high enough doses, over long enough periods of time, your absolute year, your sperm counts gonna suffer.

[01:01:24] Now, along these lines, I have several friends. Uh, that in their twenties, brand big, long, powerful cycles of, of powerful drug. And years later, you know, they meet the woman of their dreams and, and like a lot of women, you know, she wants to have kids and you can't do it because you're shooting blanks, right?

[01:01:47] I mean, that actually, that happens and that, that affects relationships. So, you know, my friend Doug, who passed away, he. He started early, but he also froze his [01:02:00] sperm. He was smart enough to do that. And at H, I think 46 or 47 he had two sets of twins. Unfortunately, he died at age 50 right when his kids are only three and four years old.

[01:02:12] But it is. It is, but, but look, here's the thing. If I'm going to be honest with my stuff. I probably would have been one of those people that was at least sterile because I don't think after I got on saw all this stuff, I don't think it would've ever come off with my personality. In fact, I'm sure of it, you know, my younger self would've never had the discipline to do that.

[01:02:36] So look, there's more to consider than just muscle before you take the plunge. And the antibiotics, I passed on them early, primarily due to the same fear that I have of them now, which are the legalities. Not necessarily side effects and the legalities of it. I'm not sure which drugs I would have been able to hack and what I couldn't, but what I can tell you what I am sure of is [01:03:00] this, if I did use them in my twenties I would have never maxed out my natural potential.

[01:03:06] And I think that's big. I think that's something you really need to look at. Yeah.

[01:03:12] Carl Lanore: [01:03:12] I don't have to answer this question per se, because I used everything I ever wanted to use. Uh, and, and recreational drugs too. So I, you know, I'm a product of the 60s and it was all good. And, uh, which I'm going to answer this question well.

[01:03:26] So first of all, uh, Jeff Clifton wants to know from you, how did you get your son inspired to work out? Did you have to motivate him or did he want to go to the, he sees you going all the time. Did he say, dad, when are you going to take me to the gym?

[01:03:38] Coach Rob Regish: [01:03:38] He did not want to go to the gym. He did not want any part of it.

[01:03:41] Uh, dad exercised his parental authority and brought him along. He did all of a sudden become it. Well, at least more interested in it when he sees progress. It wasn't five months ago, he couldn't do a quarter of a chin up. He can do, he can do [01:04:00] 10 with a 10 pounds around his waist. Now. And so  he sees his body starting to change.

[01:04:08] Right.

[01:04:08] Carl Lanore: [01:04:08] And you're not, I bet his friends that at his age, you know, they're looking at him cause that's what's going to happen when he starts adding that muscle and his friends don't, he steps into the hierarchy and the social structure.

[01:04:20] Coach Rob Regish: [01:04:20] Absolutely. Absolutely. So, you know, now these days, he's just strolls in there.

[01:04:25] Like he belongs there. And I tell him all the time that he absolutely, he does. And he's doing great work. And I, I bring a friend along too, that doesn't hurt, you know,

[01:04:35] Carl Lanore: [01:04:35] one of his friends,

[01:04:37] Coach Rob Regish: [01:04:37] one of his great, good. Yeah. Yeah.

[01:04:41] Carl Lanore: [01:04:41] Cool. There you go. Scott Dodd says, Hey Carl. The big fan for over 10 years plus. Keep it up, brother.

[01:04:47] Thank you very much. And thank you for being part of this audience for so long. I really, really appreciate it. Cause I don't know what I would do if I didn't have this as my job.

[01:04:55] Coach Rob Regish: [01:04:55] Uh,

[01:04:55] Carl Lanore: [01:04:55] Danny Geraldo Oquendo uh, what do you think about, uh, Bolden owned, [01:05:00] basically sippy, innate, uh, I, first of all, . Danny, I don't think anybody's getting real Bolden on it.

[01:05:08] So Bolden owners equal pores, equal poise is made for horses. Uh, unless you're going to a legitimate veterinarian and getting it, or you work on the race track like I did when I was a kid and it was accessible. Uh, most people are buying testosterone sippy. Nate being told it's Bolden. So most people can't tell you what Bolden owners like.

[01:05:32] And that's including me because the only Bolden own I ever use came from a UGI. I didn't know that it was real bolded on it. Now tread Balone is one that you can't lie about because it's got this yellowish color. It looks like cat urine. Right? So like when you see, if you see a bottle of Trenton, it's clear.

[01:05:50] It's not trend, it's yellow. Um, so, but, uh, I don't think Bolden is a good drug to use. I know people that have used [01:06:00] Bolden own. That it was legit Bolden own. And while it does add muscle and strength, I think it's a little too harsh for the body. Again, it's made for horses folded on his day. Porsches equal poise.

[01:06:12] The equal is for equine. Equal poise is a, is is a horse, a steroid.

[01:06:19] Coach Rob Regish: [01:06:19] I only had one friend that used it and he did not speak highly of it. Yeah,

[01:06:23] Carl Lanore: [01:06:23] I don't, I don't know that I, you know, I, it's probably wonderful. If you don't care about its potential damaging effects on your body. But again, Danny, I don't think anybody's getting real Bolden on if they're buying it from a UGI.

[01:06:35] Sorry. I will going to take our last commercial break and when we come back, we've got the blueprint tip of the day. Uh, so stay tuned. We shall return.

[01:06:47] Coach Rob Regish: [01:06:47] Spit

[01:06:47] Carl Lanore: [01:06:47] that out right now. This

[01:06:49] Coach Rob Regish: [01:06:49] is the superhuman channel.

[01:06:55] Carl Lanore: [01:06:55] just had a thought on the, uh. [01:07:00] Undulating training that I'm doing right now, day to day,

[01:07:03] Coach Rob Regish: [01:07:03] uh,

[01:07:04] Carl Lanore: [01:07:04] one to two days a week. I go in and do light reps, high reps, I mean low, lightweight, high reps with my be strong bands on. It's definitely working. There's no doubt in my mind about it. My body's bouncing back. Muscle memory is a good thing.

[01:07:19] Okay, so the blueprint tip of the day is the history of the supplement business. Tell us about it, Rob.

[01:07:24] Coach Rob Regish: [01:07:24] Yeah, well, this is timely because we are on the precipice of a great change. I feel, uh, and it's not necessarily a good one, but, uh, let's keep our fingers crossed. So as both a consumer and somebody who formulate supplements, so I sell them.

[01:07:41] I have a vested interest in it, but it gives me a unique perspective, I think, um, their development and their youth. So I've been in the market, so to speak, for 35 years. And in that time I've seen a lot of things that have come and gone. So I thought the audience might enjoy an abridged [01:08:00] history of the supplement industry because many aren't aware of just where things started or more importantly, where things are headed.

[01:08:10] So the entire sports nutrition category and some very interesting beginnings. Now, I wasn't around for the early stuff, but, um. We need to cover it nonetheless. So when the 1950s, uh, legit people like Rio Blair, um, they were, there was an attempt to bring useful items to the market, right? Blair's protein was miles ahead of anything else at the time.

[01:08:39] Vince Geronda was championing liver tablets, and there seemed to at least be a tertiary understanding that amino acids did something. They really weren't aware of how best to use them yet or what they did, but they were out there on the market and people were buying them and they kept [01:09:00] buying them, so they were doing something running in parallel with.

[01:09:09] Running in parallel with those products were were everybody's, everybody's favorite anabolic steroids.

[01:09:21] Carl Lanore: [01:09:21] Is mommy home now? I'm sorry, was that mommy coming home?

[01:09:26] Coach Rob Regish: [01:09:26] Yeah, yeah, sorry. Hi, Jen. He says hi. Yes, he just got home from work. I'm sorry. I'm running in parallel with those supplement products were anabolic steroids, and at one point, the price of a bottle of, of Diana Ball was equal to the price of a box of Joe weeders anabolic mega packs.

[01:09:52] Now guess which one built more muscle, right? There was really no contest and. Save [01:10:00] for weeders initial foray into the industry. The supplement business at the time was quite small. Sometime later though, steroids became illegal. They were added right to the, once he goes, 1990 or 91, uh, our friend Joe Biden.

[01:10:19] Carl Lanore: [01:10:19] Yeah. He would've been, he would've been a pro baseball player if it wasn't for drugs.

[01:10:22] Coach Rob Regish: [01:10:22] Right, right, exactly.

[01:10:24] Carl Lanore: [01:10:24] You know, you know, watching him go and, and talk and get his facts wrong. He's not sure what state E's in it just debated to be like, this guy has spent a life. And the funny thing is his tour is called the no malarkey tour, which malarkey means be like, uh, is used, uh, on the East coast.

[01:10:47] By, uh, Irish immigrants to imply BS bull S and so they are, that's a lot of malarkey. Mean that's a lot of bull S and the funny thing is that whole that it comes out [01:11:00] of his mouth is bull S so I just think it's funny, even even back then, I would have been a pro baseball player, but I wasn't willing to use drugs.

[01:11:08] Yeah. Okay. Joe.

[01:11:10] Coach Rob Regish: [01:11:10] Yeah. And so maybe it's not a political statement, but look, if you're considering voting for him, understand what his past was because the future ain't gonna look too rosy.

[01:11:21] Carl Lanore: [01:11:21] He's the reason that anabolic steroids are not, not legal in the U S but the illegal lichen in Greece and the UK and all these other countries, Mexico.

[01:11:31] Thanks Joe.

[01:11:32] Coach Rob Regish: [01:11:32] Yeah. And so, uh, steroids are criminalized there. Therefore, you know, extremely, if you're an athlete, if you were extremely unhip to be caught using steroids. Um, but here's the fact, there were some of the first underground labs were busted. Do Shane's was one of them. And more than a few of the steroid dealers went to prison.

[01:11:57] And ironically, when they got [01:12:00] out. They formed the nucleus of what was to become what is today. A thriving dietary supplement industry, these companies and their products. In some cases, they had names that sounded like the drugs. This is still true today. They're packaged to look like the drugs and almost universally they're advertised to work like the drugs to a generation of 15 year olds.

[01:12:28] Way back when that was reading magazines. Which were the primary source of information? Who, who wouldn't want legal steroids? Right. I mean, that's the ideal. By the 1980s there were enough products to line the shelves of small supplement health food stores. Not like they are today, but, but still, you know, a fair number of products.

[01:12:49] Hoffman, by that time, he was long out of the game. The big war seemed to be between twin lab and and weeder. Anybody who was anybody. Was using a [01:13:00] weight gainer, a milk and egg protein was out there. Various oddball items like diamond homocide and frack, Ferulic acid and boron. They all came and went. Cyber genics at one point was kind of a dark horse.

[01:13:16] They took the market by storm. They were the new kid on the block and they were selling tons of what they called. Importantly enough, a steroid replacement kit. So if you were a, if you were a kid though, during these years, it wasn't all bad because I can remember hearing, I can remember hearing about steroids even as early as 15 when I started, but with so many allegedly powerful over the counter supplements who needs it, right?

[01:13:47] I mean, to me there was always something new to try. And you know, something new to pin your hopes on. And this is true today still of the psychology of buying supplements. So if you paid [01:14:00] $100 for a cyber genics complete bodybuilding steroid replacement kit, you can be damn sure you're going to bust tail to make sure you got something out

[01:14:09] Carl Lanore: [01:14:09] and that, and that would probably be the value in it, right?

[01:14:12] Cause all of a sudden it made you dedicated, right?

[01:14:14] Coach Rob Regish: [01:14:14] Absolutely. And so, so none of them really worked as advertised, but. Um, they did keep me busy and intrigued enough to stay away from anabolics. So I, I guess it wasn't all bad. the 90s were really the decade where products that truly worked came out. I can recall creatine monohydrate from California body club that was even before EAs is foster gym, 80 bucks for a hundred gram bottle.

[01:14:45] But it did something. Right? That much you could feel dimed. A dream, you know, 25 right? That was a federal hydrochloride. Which went on to become one of my major food groups. [01:15:00] Nonetheless, the stuff worked and you knew it. Believe me, after you took it, whey protein hit the market. That was new and it was a big step up in most cases.

[01:15:10] From other proteins of the day. And then you had things like red ball and tribulus, um, which were kind of these mysterious compounds from Russia and Bulgaria respectively, that that created a buzz because there was, there was something to it, you could feel it. It wasn't a steroid like effect, but it was something so much.

[01:15:29] So they are still around today. So the number and pace at which these breakthroughs were coming during the 90s was dizzy until HMB came out, which was sent to quote unquote feel like DECA. And this is coming from a man Phillips. This is coming from the man who introduced Creotine, right? At least on a wide scale, on a broad scale.

[01:15:57] And. Needless to [01:16:00] say, each MBE didn't work like that, and the bottom kind of fell out of the industry. And by that I mean nothing much. After that came out, that actually worked, which brings us to circa 1996 I think when the very first pro hormones, those being D H E a and Anderson  came out. Neither of them did much in my, certainly in my estimation.

[01:16:28] But the industry kept plugging away and soon they were honest to goodness steroids on the market. You remember that? I mean, this is, this is sometimes referred to as the second steroid golden age. And you know, if you missed it, I guess I feel sorry for you. Was that, um, but then of course the government banned them.

[01:16:51] And it was back to bridge and amino acids and pre-workouts, which to this day are nothing more than, you know, dressed up [01:17:00] powder caffeine with in these freeze pop flavors and colorful labels and people keep buying them. Which brings me to really the topic at hand today. SARMs SARMs. Selective androgen receptor modulators originally sounded great.

[01:17:19] All of the benefits of steroids with none of the sides, except until just recently, none of them worked. I mean, none of them. Or if they did and you felt a little something, um, they actually cause shutdown and

[01:17:37] Carl Lanore: [01:17:37] what they were purported not to. When the first song was introduced, they said, and you know, HPT access disruption.

[01:17:44] So your body keeps producing all the testosterone it and it needs, that was the furthest from the truth.

[01:17:50] Coach Rob Regish: [01:17:50] Yep. And the same was true in some cases of your blood lipids, right. And liver enzymes and many of the other normal steroid side [01:18:00] effects. The only good news. I think is that there are now one or two, which actually do work.

[01:18:05] Carl Lanore: [01:18:05] Yeah. Like LDD something, something. Yeah. I've heard good things about that. I've heard that, that taking that in conjunction with, you know, some other things like you can really ramp up your response in a cycle.

[01:18:18] Coach Rob Regish: [01:18:18] Right. However, and I now have to bring you the bad news. The, there was a law enacted recently in effect, as of January 1st in China.

[01:18:31] Which, uh, is going to put an end to the party at least for a while, um, because, and there's another bill

[01:18:40] Carl Lanore: [01:18:40] until another country picks up manufacturing it, right? So China, China, China did this once before when we had the Olympics here in the United States. Uh, the winter Olympics in the, in the Northwest. Uh, our government put a lot of pressure on China to stop the outflow of growth hormone.

[01:18:57] And it stopped. And I actually had Anthony Roberts on the show [01:19:00] cause the, the, the, the black market on growth hormone just disappeared. And that's because the Chinese government was killing. Killing people who will like X supporting growth hormone illegally to the United States. That's how they stop things.

[01:19:15] They start killing people. But, but sure enough, Anthony, I talked about it. You know, once the Olympics left here, the American government stopped putting pressure on them. The deaths stopped, and people just took places in those factories and started selling again. And now you can get growth. Homeowner get into United States from China.

[01:19:31] Coach Rob Regish: [01:19:31] Right. So, so the combination of these two things, the law that's taken effect already in China and a bill specifically naming SARMs and classifying them in the same categories anabolics which will be soon in the, in the, in the U S Senate and which is almost sure to pass. Cause if the softball issue is going to conspire to make, to make things kind of miserable for a while now.

[01:19:59] I have the [01:20:00] inside story of what's going on, both in terms of what's going on in China and the U S and the upcoming February bullets. So read your readers are going to know what's going on, which products are going by, by which might still be around, um, and which ones to possibly stock up on instructions too, on what to do with that stash given these things are being put into schedule three.

[01:20:27] Um, which brings them into the same classes, anabolic steroids. So where do we go from here? It is, it's tough to say. China is effectively shutting down all production. Uh, the law reads, the shutting down the production, the importation, the export of all natural farms, peptides, and other specialty chemicals, right.

[01:20:50] That we've all been,

[01:20:51] Carl Lanore: [01:20:51] so now you're going to find out. Which peptide places really make their peptides in the United States [01:21:00] go or manufacture their own peptides cause very shortly, all those are peptides are made the United States, but they're really not. They bind from China. They're just going to go by the wayside.

[01:21:09] Watch

[01:21:11] Coach Rob Regish: [01:21:11] put. Think about what the politicians have done here.

[01:21:13] Carl Lanore: [01:21:13] Again, criminal law is something that doesn't deserve to be criminalized,

[01:21:17] Coach Rob Regish: [01:21:17] right? Your average consumer now now realizes. Um, nothing legal works like steroids or like they want it to. And the only comma compounds that came close, which were peptides and SARMs are now in the same criminal criminal categories.

[01:21:33] Anabolics so if you're going to take the risk then, and a lot of people still will, then you might as well order up and use the genuine article. Right. Not the SARMs and other stuff. Um, now you'd think our elected officials would know this, uh, either. Either they're that dense and they don't, or they do and they just don't care.

[01:21:58] It's a soft, from my perspective, [01:22:00] it's a softball issue. They can go back home to their constituents and say, look, I saved the children. Right? And then. The light up a cigarette, drive home, eat dinner, and wash down some opioid painkillers with their scotch. Right,

[01:22:15] Carl Lanore: [01:22:15] right,

[01:22:16] Coach Rob Regish: [01:22:16] right. That's exactly how it works in a lot of cases.

[01:22:21] Um, it is all in a good day's work for our elected officials who have done nothing for the American people, but enrich themselves and their families for generations. And if you don't believe that, pay attention sometimes to what goes on in us, Congress is going to make you,

[01:22:40] Carl Lanore: [01:22:40] it's going, we need term limits.

[01:22:42] Um, Danny Geraldo, uh, O Kendo, uh, and makes a point and I wanna I wanna make sure that we're not stuck in semantics, right? So the compound called one test sip or dihydro Bolden on sip, but it's not the same thing as [01:23:00] testosterone or EEQ. So. Dihydro Bolden own is a downstream metabolite of Bolden on an Declan eighth Bolden on an Declan  is equal poise.

[01:23:16] Now, if you can't find Bolden own, that's legit, you're definitely not going to find dihydro Bolden. Okay. Unless you have a doctor prescribing it  excuse me, a compounding pharmacist making it. So I really think we're splitting hairs here. So if you get real Bolden own, you don't need the dihydro Bolden on sippy and eight because real Bolden own will convert to dihydro Bolin.

[01:23:43] I think it uses the same five alpha reductase. A pathway that testosterone converts to DHT. Dihydrotestosterone but its  dihydro Bolden is a downstream metabolite of bolded own on Declan eight Bolden own on Declan  is equal [01:24:00] poise. Um, so we're, we're kind of, I'm splitting hairs here, but, but it's, it's a nonstarter because the possibility of you getting real bolded on from a UGI is rare.

[01:24:12] Uh, there was, uh, there was a, I want to say, dr D Pasqual did this a long, long time ago where they bought gear off the internet. They tested it for two things. They tested it for, uh, whether or not it was, what it was labeled, the potency and the possible, uh, possible contamination. And they found several of them with a stoppers actually had.

[01:24:33] Mold on them. Uh, but, but he, he, he, he showed that people were buying exotic stuff. They thought, Oh, this is Winstrol. No, is test sip. Oh, this is Bolden. Oh, no. Is test sip. Uh, so, so again, it's a nonstarter discussion because getting actual dihydro Bolden on sippy innate is harder than getting real Bolden on, which converts to dihydro Bolden.

[01:25:00] [01:24:59] And, and, and, and th 90% of that stuff just isn't legit. It just isn't Danny. So, like I said, unless you're getting it prescribed to a doctor and getting it from a reliable source, a different story, if it's

[01:25:11] Coach Rob Regish: [01:25:11] stolen and it doesn't, it doesn't build a well and making that home diagnostic like, what does it Roy test?

[01:25:16] Carl Lanore: [01:25:16] Droid test. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know how it works. I don't know how reliable it is, but yes, you're right.

[01:25:21] Coach Rob Regish: [01:25:21] You're right. So, look, if I was going that route, then maybe that's what I do. But, um, in any case, that is the state of the supplement industry in January, 2020. So look, the landscape once again, is shifting with another broad scale ban, both in the United States and China.

[01:25:42] I think you're 100% right, Carl. Once China shuts down production, don't just be another country that picks it up,

[01:25:49] Carl Lanore: [01:25:49] picks it up. Look, look. The United States government is stupid. So what happened with alcohol prohibition? As long as there's a market, there'll be someone willing to fill the [01:26:00] market. That's the bottom line.

[01:26:02] The drug, they  the war on drugs never worked. We got all the cocaine and heroin, and we, while weed is legal in most a lot of States now, but we have all the recreational drugs we could ever wish for on the streets. And this government has been fighting the war on drugs. And investing billions of tax dollars with zero impact on the availability of recreational drugs.

[01:26:25] You really think the only thing that may dry up the SARMs market is the reluctance to buy them when you can get real testosterone a lot cheaper.

[01:26:35] Coach Rob Regish: [01:26:35] Here you go.

[01:26:36] Carl Lanore: [01:26:36] The more the market will dry up before the supply dries up.

[01:26:40] Coach Rob Regish: [01:26:40] Right? And so in, you know, in January of the year 2020 it is absolutely maddening in my mind that Congress wants, again, is talking about, Hey, we've got a big drug problem.

[01:26:53] Let's put guys that want to add 50 pounds to their bench breasts in prison. You know, I [01:27:00] mean, come on, it's just beyond stupid. But Boopa boob

[01:27:02] Carl Lanore: [01:27:02] implants are legit. Uh, facelifts are legit. All that cosmetic surgery that puts people at great risk. Kanye West mother died getting liposuction. That's okay. That's all cool.

[01:27:15] Just don't, I'm telling you, uh, for some reason muscle is a scary thing to the government. And is it an interesting that guns are scary to them too? People possessing muscle and guns, scary to the government. What, what government would be afraid of people being stronger, more muscular, and having guns except one that may be wants to imply, impose some sort of tyranny on their population.

[01:27:42] Coach Rob Regish: [01:27:42] That is a great point, and in fact, if you read the SARMs legislation closely, do you know what the great sin is, is mentioned as the trigger for, for criminalizing these things? The great sin is building muscle. [01:28:00] It literally says things that build muscle in there are, you know,

[01:28:07] Carl Lanore: [01:28:07] bad. We don't want strong, we don't want strong, well armed legal citizens.

[01:28:13] We want to give all the power to the criminals. That's what we want to do.

[01:28:18] Coach Rob Regish: [01:28:18] That's the whole world's upside down. But look, that's where it is. Uh, it's probably, it's not going to be static, but it's going to be here for a little while until the market figures it out. And I'm confident that it probably

[01:28:30] Carl Lanore: [01:28:30] will.

[01:28:31] So tomorrow I've got Joel green coming back on. He just published a fantastic book about how to hack your body into a younger

[01:28:38] Coach Rob Regish: [01:28:38] self. Right?

[01:28:40] Carl Lanore: [01:28:40] So, uh, in 2007, I had Dr. Mark McCarty on the show. We talked about the first human intimate and fasting study. Who's actually done in Mexico and Dr. Mark McCarty was the guy who led the charge and wrote the paper.

[01:28:57] So in 2007, we started [01:29:00] to tell people about the value of intermittent fasting or time restricted feeding, um, eight hour feeding window, 16 hour non fasting window. And dr Oz went on. Uh, TV. This one, he's making his rounds that he wants to do away with breakfast, but 20, 20, cause you don't need breakfast.

[01:29:21] Remember? But he's rattling on. He's talking about intimate and fasting and he's got a new program that he's going to get people on and all. Let's say he's such a shill, but. He's a little late to the party, but then again, the audience he re reaches, they, they, they have no interest in real health and, and physical stature.

[01:29:39] So all we're going to move skip breakfast. Yes. Skip prep. So tomorrow we're going to flip the script and Joel Green's going to come on and explain to you why continuous intimate and fasting is a horrible idea. In fact, it's probably shooting down the results you're looking for. Yeah. And just [01:30:00] like a, just like continuous, being in a continuous ketogenic state is, I got a good friend.

[01:30:06] He's a beast. I'm not saying this like he's a beast. The guy is like, he, he, he's, he's a, he's like a, a Nordic God. He's so strong. He's got to say, he played pro football. He was to going to play pro football and he destroyed his knee so. He's been going through horrible anxiety attacks lately. Unbearable.

[01:30:30] He's been on the ketogenic diet for six years now. Uh, he, I told him, I said, he goes, I have such bad anxiety. I, it's freaking me out. I can't deal with it. He's a man. This guy's in his forties. I said to him, have you checked your blood sugar yet? He goes, no. He goes, Oh, I'm always in ketosis. And I said. Start eating carbs, just start eating carbs.

[01:30:55] He started eating carbs and all of a sudden he's feeling better. His blood [01:31:00] sugar and his ketones were very, very low when he was in an anxiety state.

[01:31:06] Coach Rob Regish: [01:31:06] He says,

[01:31:06] Carl Lanore: [01:31:06] how can I, he says to me, how could this be? I eat Quito. I mean, I'm so, no, because we talked about it on this show with Joel green. It's a bad idea to be in ketosis all the time, but now we've got all these idiots out there, you know, challenging.

[01:31:22] Well, what's your ketone level? What's your cutover of? It's like a pissing contest with some, you look, diet is not a choice. We evolve for two and a half million years eating a certain way, and now all of a sudden we all, I'm going to be vegan or I'm going to be cut out. No, no, it doesn't work that way. The body doesn't like that, and so tomorrow we're going to flip the script and I predict there's going to be a lot of people saying that we're wrong, but a few years from now, then it's going to come out that that's the way to eat and everybody's going to get on the bandwagon and they're going to forget.

[01:31:57] We talked about it years before. [01:32:00] So you're going to want to tune in. If nutrition and health and performance and longevity are important to you all in that cluster, all those, all those things, then you're gonna want to tune in tomorrow when I have Joel green on the show, because we're going to flip the script just like I've been doing for a decade now.

[01:32:18] Uh, we're going to change the discussion again.

[01:32:21] Coach Rob Regish: [01:32:21] Great. Sounds like a great show.

[01:32:22] Carl Lanore: [01:32:22] Going to be a great show. I listen, Rob, thanks so much. Visit  dot com or often. And make your gains keep happening. We'll see you tomorrow with more super Yuma radio. Thank you for the live audience that tuned in on Facebook for all the wonderful questions.

[01:32:36] We'll see you [01:33:00] .
