[00:00:00] Hey, hey, welcome back to another episode of superhuman radio. Today is Tuesday, which means I'm going to be joined or just a. By coach Rob Rajesh to perform the blueprint Power Hour. But before I do that, I have to say that our title sponsor is All American pharmaceutical their brand is EFX Sports and you get six of the top selling products absolutely free by going to superhuman radio dotnet and clicking the EFX Sports banner ads that are all over the [00:01:00] website.

[00:01:23] It's time for the blueprint Power Hour with Coach Rodriguez on the Superhuman radio network.
[00:01:32] Well, Rob warned me about this whole on let me get him on his mobile. Hold on one second. Okay, you there Rob? Yes, I am. Okay. There we go. I'll edit all this nonsense out of the podcast. So everybody in the podcast world will be spared this disastrous. Beginning to a great show. How you doing Rob?
[00:01:50] I'm doing well. How about you wonderful. Wonderful. What's going on this week at coach ruggish.com before we get started. Well this week we're going to be [00:02:00] debuting the newly updated hormone optimization course, and that'll take place the webinar on Thursday, November 8th at 2 p.m. For those that have signed up.
[00:02:13] Via my website. Thank you. I appreciate it. You can register for it over there if your current subscriber you'll have lifetime access to the replay on the band and just so everyone understands. This update focuses on total and free testosterone growth hormone and igf-1 levels insulin and insulin sensitivity as well as the all-important test the cortisol ratio.
[00:02:39] It's a hundred percent free and it's information that you really do need. If you haven't signed up yet. Please go to Coach Rob register.com now to register and we'll see you Thursday. Okay, and the first question comes from Andy battles, he says what do you think about the new sarm GSK two [00:03:00] zero eight eight one zero seven eight.
[00:03:03] I don't even like the name of it. How about that? I wouldn't use it. Just because of the long name. Yeah, that's a few. Do you know what the GS K stands for? I don't GlaxoSmithKline. Yeah, that's right. Because if glaxo yeah newest and they're now testing it on humans. So the journal of clinical endocrinology and Metabolism assumes to be publish a human study which for the first time gives an idea of this anabolic effect of GSK.
[00:03:38] However, as you'll soon find out the study also suggests, it has some pretty serious side effects. So what the researchers did was they gave GSK to. Healthy folks over 50 for eight weeks. Okay, both male and female got it. So, [00:04:00] you know that to me that was going to be an interesting facet of it.
[00:04:03] Here are the results the men who took four milligrams every day. They gained one and a half kilos and lean body mass. So what's that about 3 pounds over a period of eight weeks. Women who used one of just one point five milligrams daily gain three kilos of lean body mass so know about 10 pounds.
[00:04:28] So, you know, we know at least from that data that it works, but it seems it may also have some very serious side effects. Number one the amount of total testosterone in the men declined by two-thirds during those eight weeks sure sure and two weeks after the end of the, you know course or cycle their test levels have not yet recovered something similar was going on with free testosterone Volvo.
[00:05:00] [00:05:00] Robert Klein was more subtle there. But the big one another big one is this their HDL good cholesterol dropped by a whopping 30 to 45 percent. So, you know the side effects. I just mentioned they were measured Midway through the cycle. We all what were the side effects going to be after eight weeks.
[00:05:21] We don't know. Probably worth. I don't think that's a stretch to say that the researchers who have been paid or even work at the company that want to put this stuff on the market, you know, haven't measured side effects Beyond a week. Either that or they did and they're they're not including it in the study.
[00:05:43] So I'll quote them hear what they said was GSK was found to produce potentially clinically significant increases. In leave math with a differential dose-response between Sexes changes in clinical chemistry [00:06:00] were consistent with those previously reported for this arm and we're they described them as kept this relatively mild moderate arable and reversible in nature further research is now planned to study the effects of the lean.
[00:06:19] I mean math games that were observe one further note. This stuff will probably soon appear on the black market. Okay. I honestly expect that. This is going to have some very serious side effects like worse than what they're letting up because you got to think of it this way if I'm a dose of 4 milligrams it lowered the HDL level by 40% in you know within four weeks.
[00:06:48] What happens you don't want to cycle goes eight weeks and guys are using 20 milligrams. What do you mean? What do you mean eight weeks guys are going to use it year-round [00:07:00] through through here's the bottom line. This is just the latest in a long list of Storm's that isn't worth it. And it sure as hell isn't as good as the reference standard testosterone.
[00:07:13] Damn. Yeah, so it lookin in. Responsible for bulletins or next month rather. I'll be showing you a song that does look to be worth your while or at least a hell of a lot more so than this stuff remember Psalms were sold to us is all of the benefits of steroids with none of the side effects. And in fact you're seeing.
[00:07:35] Very little good and a whole lot of bad side. Well, you know, you know what charms reminds me of it reminds me of colio statin drugs cholesterol medication. So the gold standard to correct dis lipid emia and by corrected, I mean lower LDL cholesterol and raise HDL cholesterol is a six dollar bottle of niacin right?
[00:07:58] I think about this for a second [00:08:00] all of the research done. On Lipitor and all these other pharmaceutical drugs use niacin good old vitamin B3 real nicotinic acid. Not the flush free niacin the the stuff that makes your skin itchy for a couple minutes at a time. All of the research on statin drugs is done comparing itself to a six dollar bottle of niacin.
[00:08:27] Vellum believe yeah, and so and so and they can't they never can. They can't come up with a drug that is harmless to you and don't get me wrong if you take stupid amounts of knives and you can damage your liver. But if you take 500 milligrams a day you could correct your your your your dis lipedema.
[00:08:47] In a couple weeks without all of the side effects of muscle wasting and sarcopenia all that is muscle with him. But but out myalgia paint muscle pain dementia type 2 [00:09:00] diabetes. Those are all the side effects of statin drugs. It just pushes you deeper and deeper down into metabolic disease, but vitamin B3 doesn't do that.
[00:09:11] So Psalms did the same thing. They're trying to come up. Way to replace testosterone testosterone runs a man about six dollars a week to take a dose of his doctor is prescribing it for him probably cheaper if he's buying it on the black market and and and and and none of this stuff works the Psalms don't work and even when they do work, they have horrible horrible side effects way way way way worse than taking testosterone.
[00:09:36] This is just silliness by the pharmaceutical industry trying to capitalize. On something and they can't just like they couldn't beat be three. They can't be testosterone. They just can't agree a hundred percent. My Graham says. What's new that I can use for diabetes? I just read a study this morning that's going to be exciting.
[00:09:57] I'll tell you at the end the head. Well, I don't know if [00:10:00] this is new per se but there's something out there that you rarely hear about with respect to helping with diabetes coenzyme Q10 tens out supplementation with it lowers the glucose level in people with type 2 diabetes and in. It increases the concentration of good cholesterol HDL, which in turn reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease.
[00:10:27] So a bunch of Chinese researchers recently came to those conclusions and The Meta study in the international Journal of Endocrinology. So, you know, as far as the study itself, they looked at 13 trials in which people with type 2 diabetes. Retreated with various diabetes medication and and also receive coenzyme Q10 a total of seven hundred sixty five subjects participated in those trials.
[00:11:00] [00:11:00] And then the Chinese aggregate of the data and reanalyzed them if without going into the chemical soup of it all administration of coenzyme Q10. Lowers blood sugar. It improves insulin sensitivity. It just goes on and on, you know reduced fasting glucose levels. That effect in the reduction of what's called glycosylated hemoglobin show that when you take coenzyme Q10 it helps to control the glucose levels.
[00:11:38] There was a trend that it reduced insulin resistance didn't was the statistical significant, but it was there. So look I'm going to use their words. And then I'll give you my to Theses the there's they said the benefits from long-term treatment of Q10 the on [00:12:00] six months remain to be defined by Future studies.
[00:12:03] Meanwhile more randomized double-blind large sample size Trials of coenzyme Q10 for type 2 diabetes are needed in the future to validate. Levi's the results of this work. They pretty much of a good idea that it works. All they're saying is more studies are needed which translated means some this more Federal grant money now.
[00:12:29] So here's the bottom line on this stuff next to the are isomer over alpha lipoic acid and berberine. I would put coenzyme Q10 at the top of my list. But what were you saying? So this was just released today? This was a joint effort between the University of Dallas University of Texas at Dallas. And dr.
[00:12:56] Russell Ritter who? The Godfather of the pineal [00:13:00] gland he's been on the show numerous times over the past 13 years and a group of universities in Iran and one University in Canada, the School of Public Health University of Saskatchewan, they did a meta-analysis and systemic review of all the available research of randomized control trials that were done on.
[00:13:27] Melatonin supplementation, which is a lot that also looked at blood glucose levels and what they learned was. That melatonin stabilizes fasting blood glucose levels in type 2 diabetics. Better than anything else out there without interfering with insulin production without no short-term. The all these artsy's rcts were fairly short term 812 weeks.
[00:13:58] So they really couldn't give [00:14:00] an analysis of what happens with hba1c because it wasn't long enough for red blood cell turnover. But they want a longer study done because they think that melatonin could actually be something that could actually reverse type 2 diabetes in the long run by taking it at night before bed.
[00:14:17] Now if this makes perfect sense because think about it we know. That people who have impaired sleep become type 2 diabetic and people have impaired sleep arm producing enough melatonin because they're not sleeping. They're not going to bed at the right time. They're working at third shift, whatever they become obese that blood pressure goes up.
[00:14:36] They develop metabolic disorders. So just supplementing those people with melatonin when they do sleep actually allows their blood sugar to be stable throughout the day. It's incredible. Yeah, I mean something is here's another $6 supplement, you know melatonin and I did a show one of the show's I did with dr.
[00:14:58] Ritter probably five or six years ago. [00:15:00] The that that melatonin was the the the cheapest anti-aging supplement in the world and it remains to be yeah. This was just published in the this was just published today in the in the Journal of. Hormone metabolism. They go into dosage or that I miss that I'm sure that they do if you dig down into the rcts, but most of the studies done on melatonin use anywhere from 600 micrograms to three milligrams.
[00:15:32] Dr. Russell Rider is a proponent of very high doses. In fact today at the ripe old age of in his 80s and he still teaching. And he still publishing papers as you can see in his 80s. He takes 60 milligrams at night before bed. Wow, that's incredible. Yeah, and he's been taking when I first met him in 2005 and he came on the show in January [00:16:00] 2006.
[00:16:01] He was taking 20 milligrams of sub lingual melatonin every single night and he progressively increased that dose the older he became. This is timely because I have a sister-in-law who has Type 2 and recently got back from the doctor. Her blood work is just completely shocked and I'm sure her sleep sucks.
[00:16:24] Yeah. Yeah that too has never exercised or really die of it. So it's going to be a real sounds like. She's very fearful right now, but think about think about it via her entire lifestyle is going to have to change. That's why I keep telling folks build good exercise habits today and pays off big time.
[00:16:48] She just needs to start choose me how to drink some water taking some melatonin at night before bed start with that. They have 600 microgram doses. She can start with that. They have those at grocery stores [00:17:00] and then she can ramp up to three milligrams and see how that works for. Absolutely. Thank you.
[00:17:05] I appreciate that open putting together a short list for her now. I'll have I want answers because I just invited. Dr. Ritter to come back on the show. Just today I email them this morning. So I'm expecting to hear from him later today and we'll get we'll get more details. We're going to take a quick commercial break when we come back.
[00:17:21] We have a question from Dave Bautista. Bautista. Stay tuned. You're listening to the blueprint power. Welcome back.
[00:17:33] So Dave Bautista says what's new and exciting for fat loss. Yeah. So Danish scientist may have stumbled on a completely new strategy to induce fat loss. They think what color is called. It's called cancer. You lose weight. Okay, they discovered that [00:18:00] an approach that simultaneously stimulative two types of receptors led to an unprecedented rapid fat-loss effect, you know in mice the combination of something called I ceiling and be MPP.
[00:18:19] Really accelerated their fat loss. Now. There are receptors on the outer layers of your skin right where it registers cold if those receptors are activated fat-burning will increase due to among other things an increase of fat oxidation in brown adipose tissue of substance like menthol. Stimulates that receptor interestingly enough.
[00:18:47] However, the researchers discovered a synthetic compound that also stimulates their receptors something called a cylinder and so they injected fatten mice every day with different [00:19:00] doses of this stuff and they saw that the animals lost that because their energy expenditure increased. I'm going to quote from them.
[00:19:09] They'll be say however, the cold receptor is not found on Brown fat said one of the paper's authors. It seems that the cold receptor on the surface of the skin sends a signal to the brain. That subsequently activates the brown fat via nerve connectors the mice became Slimmer when they were given ice Ellen because it increase their energy turnover.
[00:19:35] However, the effect that we saw was not sufficiently strong to have any factual effect. For patients even if the researchers could optimize the medical product and this this was a telling part of their quote. If you want to change people's body weight. It is not enough to Target the energy turnover alone to really [00:20:00] create a negative energy balance.
[00:20:03] You also have to get people to eat less smokers eat less than people who don't smoke and that's in large part because of a nicotine and the cigarettes, right? It activates something called the Vic atonic acetylcholine receptor. What the Danes discovered was that the synthetic substance D MPP works in the same way.
[00:20:28] And so they injected that. If the fat mice the animals ate last and they lost weight, so we got two things going on right got a compound that cuts the appetite you have never compound that increases energy expenditure. This was the author's conclusion dmtp, not only suppresses the appetite it also has a huge positive.
[00:20:54] On glucose metabolism as opposed to nicotine, which is a poor effect on fat [00:21:00] in the liver and insulin sensitivity. We therefore combine their cylinder and DMP be and Achieve what you might call a synergistic effect on body weight. So in my mind, the only question now is how will host soon will I sell in Indy MPP or perhaps Menthol supplement?
[00:21:23] Appear on the market. I don't know the answer to that question that you know, the some supplement company might try to capitalize upon it but I found the study fascinating, you know, it'll probably explains why ice baths and nicotine gum both score pretty high on the feedback in the feedback department for losing weight, you know, there's a tangible quantifiable effect, so.
[00:21:53] I don't know something new to think about. So anytime they talk about Brown fat and [00:22:00] rodents. I immediately stopped listening because because the research has been done to show that rodents have the ability to produce Brown fat in ways that humans don't so the brown the brown fat discussion because I remember there was a guy who was promoting ice baths.
[00:22:17] To turn your feet out your fat Brown and and AD El Moussa did a couple really good blogs and he actually came on my show and we talked about this and it's just nonsense. I mean humans humans don't produce Brown fat as easily and if they do and when they do they usually produce it up back behind the neck and between the shoulder blades.
[00:22:37] I remember reading through same information on that same thing. Yeah, you know and so here's the silly thing right? It's kind of like the statin drugs thus arms. There's a point where people put more effort into something then to not do it the way is if that's currently available that it that [00:23:00] that they actually work harder to not do it the way that it's currently available.
[00:23:04] So the argument about humans creating Brown fat has been one that really shows. That it's not really possible. And if it is it's really really hard but you can build muscle really easy and muscle burns calories, you know, everybody wants to have brown fat so that they can be lazy asses and they're burning more calories.
[00:23:28] Well, you can be a lazy ass on your off days after you put on it some extra muscle you're burning more calories with those extra muscle so. We know how to build muscle anyone can build muscle short of somebody who has some you know dystrophy or something, you know, it's but we don't know anything about Brown fat the impact of it whether we can really do it how the hell do we do?
[00:23:52] It melatonin has been also a dr. Ritter came on my show and talked about one of the things that [00:24:00] increases Brown fat. The the Browning of white fat is melatonin. But who cares about any of that when you can build muscle and you can raise your metabolic your resting metabolic rate by building more muscle and that you can do and you can see it in the mirror and go.
[00:24:14] Wow. I got more muscle. I'm burning more calories now, right and if you want to take something that increases your energy expenditure. And I fear a bad ra.one all the function Cafe ephedrine caffeine a little aspirin to open up the blood vessels a little bit and get it into the because the thinning of the blood helps it irrigate the fat and and you're and you're home free.
[00:24:38] Jacob Winslow says. Is muscle text celtech creatine a good product. I didn't even know it was still around. Yeah it is it is it it just isn't it just glue shoot corn sugar and and some and some creatine. Oh, no, they've got a new they've got something new in it. So [00:25:00] so during the 2018 Olympia celtech made public that would be using the new ingredient soon.
[00:25:08] In addition to its creatine tons of sugar BCAAs trimethylglycine and phosphatidic acid is in there now something called Cinder which is a combination of extracts of the peel of the fruits. Of Garcinia mangosteen, a' and the leaves cinnamomum Pala. So mangosteen that all the rage mangosteen that's in everything today, right?
[00:25:35] Yeah, and so I recommended daily dose of Celtic Two Scoops provides 800 milligrams of this new Wonder chemical and according to the websites for the supplement industry Celtic as got exclusive rights to this Cinderella in even half of the stories about this stuff for to true that you can understand [00:26:00] myself that wants to keep it to themselves, right it works like steroids.
[00:26:05] That really true. Some of the studies indicate that it increases the production of nitric oxide, which we've all been inundated with since the mid 90s mid to late 90s. Now there was a study and that's the study went like this. So this month staff members of Layla published a human study. Evolving 38 subjects aged 18 to 39 in the Journal of international Society of Sports Nutrition.
[00:26:41] All of these folks have been training with weights for at least six months. The researchers gave half of them 800 milligrams of this sin Dora every day for six weeks the other half got a placebo. Results the maximal strength as measured by one rep max of the [00:27:00] subjects in the experimental group increased considerably more than the maximum strength of the subjects in the control group at the same time supplementation with cinder also improved body composition in the control group fat mass and fat free Mass remained about the same but.
[00:27:23] Respectively decreased fat decreased and muscle increased among the subjects who have receive good ol Cinderella. They do know what has no effect testosterone or igf-1 levels. So, Here's the bottom line if my view this is just more crap from MuscleTech. And if you're interested in creatine, you should use your money to buy creatine are there in the form of creatine monohydrate or kre-alkalyn?
[00:27:55] You can get a kilo of at least creatine model for. [00:28:00] 20 between 20 and 30 bucks. Kre-alkalyn is probably not that much more expensive. Both of them relatively cheap. They work exceptionally well and they will help you sell a lot more than glorified cinnamon got a surprise me from the longest time.
[00:28:19] They had a patent with alpha lipoic acid and creatine and that was one nasty drink. Where did it burn going down? Yep, I don't you know, I've never been a fan of any of their products and never and that not even their protein powders never ever ever because I was going to buy I was going to buy their creatine Celtic creatine 20 something years ago.
[00:28:46] When I learned about creatine and I read the jar and it said that it was it was predominantly like maltodextrine or one of the 100 or. One of the sugars one of the [00:29:00] sugars and the whole jar like the whole big jug was only like 20 servings. Yep, and I was like, how can this be 20 servings? You supposed to take 5 grams a day for five four times a day for the first five days to load.
[00:29:20] This is that that's that's the whole that's the whole jug and the joke was like $65 and when I then I've I kept looking and I saw this other little jar of creatine and I went over to that and back then it was expensive. This little jar preaching was like $36, but it was like it was like 80 servings and had no sugar in it, and I thought I don't get it.
[00:29:42] So I I remember emailing celtech because back then. I didn't know anything about anything. I like okay, I'll email them. So I emailed celtech and I you know, I suppose my question like yours and they said well you need to get the [00:30:00] creatine into the muscles you need that insulin Spike. And so you need all that stuff that's in there.
[00:30:05] They're all the sugar that's in there and I happened to be at a health food store about two days later and I saw. A bag of Bob's Red Mill dextrose powder it was a dollar 65 and I was like, okay, so I'll just fix my own dextrose 40 grams of dextrose into my you know, small little and I did it myself.
[00:30:29] I was like, I would never buy anything from Celtic. They're they're not they're not an honest company. No, and if you do the math, right the the ingredient that works is creatine 20 servings are five grams pop is a hundred grams of creatine, which you can purchase even back then you were probably looking at a hundred gram bottle like 30 bucks, but it's a hundred servings.
[00:30:52] Right? Well 5 gram or thousand maybe whatever it's a lot more cost effective [00:31:00] to purchase. Standalone creatine monohydrate and I know dr. Gallini has Creole Cohen in both pills and as a powder as a bulk powder, so can't go wrong with those know and by the way, dr. Glenn, he has a new fat burner called lies on five that has two patents on it.
[00:31:20] And the thing is real you need to get in touch with him and get a bottle to try so you can do a commentary on the show about it what you think of it. Yeah, I'll be reach out to them. We're going to take a break when we come back. We have a question from Steve Regal. He says rob you have compared resistance training to investing in the past why we're going to that's going to be a fun one.
[00:31:41] We're going to take that question next week. Come back. Stay tuned.
[00:31:48] Welcome back. Everybody knows that Rodriguez has spent the period of his life in the financial tools and instruments. And you know you do use the you like [00:32:00] me, you know, you do use the analogy of investing your invest in your body and Steve Regal says, you know, you keep comparing weight resistance training to investing.
[00:32:08] Why is it like investing? Well, it's a great question because very early in my life when I started weight training. I wondered I wondered how many weeks or months, you know, it would take. To see the muscle that I desired and later on that got refined down to hey, I'm going to be hundreds of sets or maybe thousands of reps were to take and only many years later when I mature did I get the real answer?
[00:32:41] It depends but one thing's for sure. It's likely more than you could ever imagine. So, let me let me speak to that topic for a bit. I have always wanted muscle and strength preferably a lot of it. I wondered of course, right how much time [00:33:00] this is going to take our ubian thinking in terms of like I said, Seth reps and workouts surely the answer had to be out there somewhere.
[00:33:10] Let me tell you what I learned the answer. If you're thinking about units of time is in years not weeks or months. In fact, the real answer from many people will be decades as in you know, that many to look and perform the way that I had always dreamed about now as far as sets and Reps, the real answer is so many you best not even think of it.
[00:33:36] Okay. In fact, I would tell you that a young young man. You know just starting out should just accept the fact it's going to be a long long time and instead try to enjoy the process. Sidebar the more mistakes you make along the way the longer it's going to be before [00:34:00] you get to where you want to be.
[00:34:02] The only thing I would focus on is the next workout getting stronger. The last time that you did that previous work out stay away from fans and focus on big basic movements and getting your training diet and rest habits, right? So every workout should be looked at as putting money to work for. Each workout is an investment in yourself in your future just like saving money now looked very few people have huge sums of money to save right very very few even fewer are going to pick the right stock investment ton of their money in it and Grow Rich overnight, which is sort of fortunate because plenty of people.
[00:34:50] Have gone broke that way you always hear about people's winners. You never hear about their losers and there are many of them the vast majority of [00:35:00] wealthy individuals in this country got that way by Saving small amounts over long periods of time decades just like your workouts. Okay along the way though.
[00:35:14] You can make bad decisions. Like majoring in the minors, right A lot of people right now are incurring a lot of brain tumors trying to determine if they cool Bolin five really does act like an anabolic steroid. And if I didn't tell you what I'm about to tell you, I would guarantee you that after Today's show a dozen or more people will contact me asking where they can get dico Bolin five.
[00:35:43] Just two points on this subject number one. I made the whole thing up and number two, not everyone is going to be so honest with you. They're going to try to sell you. Daiko Bolin 5 and there's a great story behind it. Here's the bottom line. [00:36:00] Forget get rich quick schemes in the same token. Forget get huge quick schemes real progress takes real effort done consistently for years and in both cases decades one other point that I like to make when someone is desperate whether that be you know, they need to.
[00:36:26] Save a ton more money or invest of different leaves try to get a bigger return or if they're just looking, you know to get huge quick. There's always going to be someone to sell you that fantasy and in both cases you're going to get burned and bad a lot of people that you know, sit down with a financial planner.
[00:36:51] And he doesn't have your best interest in mind. He has his best interest in mind. So he's going to sell you a product. That has a [00:37:00] pretty sweet commissioner for him and likewise. There's always a supplement out there screaming that it's the newest latest greatest thing. Both of them will burn you stick to the basics and enjoy the process.
[00:37:16] Because you know like I like my son is so smart. I mean he is so much smarter than I was at his age. I mean he is investing he's saving his money and you know what but you know what he doesn't focus on it. He just does it and then he forgets about and he goes rock climbing. He does the things in his life and that's the problem the get-rich-quick people the get muscular fast people that they're only focused on that in front of them.
[00:37:43] That's it. That's all they say. They don't see any of the. Benefits of the actions that they take and that's really a sad way to live your life it is because I'm glad you brought that point out because you know, if you've got your head buried in the sand and you've been training to be mr. Olympia [00:38:00] and you wake up and 40 years old.
[00:38:03] And you've got nothing else in your life other than your quest for the Olympia unless you actually win the Olympia but it's it's given me your life sucks. Yeah. Hello it little I'll never forget. My mother guy wants I was squatting with him in the gym. And I said, where do you live? And he said my truck I said what?
[00:38:27] You said I live out of my truck. Why do you have a job or anything? He says yeah, but it's just enough to buy food. That was his other thing so truck and food. We were done with the workout. We went out to his truck and he a little Hibachi Grill in the back and we had chicken breast and talk lifting.
[00:38:49] Sadly, the guy was in his 40s. This was when I was in my 20s. Wow, yeah. Yeah. [00:39:00] Yep, and he was believe me a long way away from the Olympia great guy love training but put everything to the exclusion of everything else. He put everything he had into that and. in the in the movie bigger faster stronger.
[00:39:19] By Chris Bell he there was a guy at the Gold Venice that was just like that and then he actually interviewed him during that during the Venice segment of the movie and he went out to the guy's van that the guy lived in behind the behind the gym. Yes in principle, right? Yeah. What do you do in the winter as I drive south and less than 4?
[00:39:45] Yeah, that's that's a good idea. He moves that's good. He can move he does have to buy a place there. He just picks up and goes Mike Mike G large says and this is this is an age-old question that I even I pondered 20-something years [00:40:00] ago. Should I focus on losing fat first before I start trying to build muscle with weight training?
[00:40:06] Oh, I hear this a lot a lot. Here's my two CC's at the bad idea. And here's why. Obese men in their 20s who lift weights can build up as much muscle as their slender counterparts English Sports scientists report that in the Journal of physiological reports. So there's something referred to as anabolic resistance is so if you peruse the animal studies.
[00:40:36] It doesn't make much sense for people with severe obesity to do strength training. That's what the journal say. If you and if you look at animals, if you fat enwrapped in mice, then the muscles lose the ability to grow the animals just don't respond right to continuous physical exertion, you know, certainly not like lean animals [00:41:00] they become as well as exercise scientists like to say.
[00:41:05] Anabolic, they have a condition called the antibiotic resistance the question becomes. Well, what about people the studies are not so clear about that? Okay, and so English Sports scientists were affiliated with low bro University decided to figure it out. They got eight slim and nine obese 20-somethings training their leg muscles.
[00:41:31] Just on the lathe machine. They took samples from the leg muscles and determine the production of muscle proteins during rest and after strength training here were the results in both the obese and the slim man strength training increase the production of muscle proteins by about 50% Okay. It was a bit smaller among obese men.
[00:41:58] But the difference was [00:42:00] really small really small who hear their conclusion. They think inclusion we have shown that obese young adults respond to an acute bottle resistance exercise with an increase in muscle protein synthesis comparable. To The Honorable lean counterparts. We also find no evidence for obesity induced impairments in anabolic signaling in other words, you know, no antibiotic resistance.
[00:42:30] Here's what I say that correlates pretty strongly with my thoughts almost exactly almost because I actually feel there's an advantage to people. Federal beef at least when they started out they typically a much bigger size and calf development. You know, I honestly feel that carrying all that weight around leads to more muscle in the legs.
[00:42:56] I've seen it over and over and over in many people [00:43:00] Russ one of the guys I train comes to mind used to be 300 pounds. He's 200 now. The upper body is relatively small getting bigger but his legs and calves are enormous. Yeah from carrying all that weight around all these, you know, put it slap a weight vest on your body with a hundred pounds on it walk around with it.
[00:43:20] Yeah. You have you have amazing legs and glutes and calves especially your calves will look like cows right? So, you know what, I would tell people thinking about this today this question hit up resistance training ASAP, especially if you're obese, right you stand to benefit the most or at least much more so than an ectomorph at least in that regard you will was one of the point about antibiotic resistance in humans.
[00:43:50] The researchers in this study seem to indicate. No, it's not a real thing. Once mail gets past the age of 40 [00:44:00] there is some data to suggest that there is some anabolic resistance meaning they need to eat a little more protein. They need to get at least those three grams of leucine to optimize protein synthesis and more most importantly.
[00:44:18] Muscle protein synthesis is in high gear and someone over 40 for about 24 hours afterward in twenty-somethings. It's 48 hours. So just think about that as you plot out. Let's say your protein and caloric intake in the days after training, you know, I was never a fan of. High high protein all the time was a fan of protein cycling to match your training.
[00:44:51] Yeah, I mean II haven't been watching my diet nearly as much as normal. I know I'm not getting as much from knock. I bet you there's some days [00:45:00] where I basically get a hundred fifty grams of protein and but my body is changing. How old were you when you started 40? Maybe 40 years old. Okay. So 20 years.
[00:45:17] Yeah, you know and you pick them up at age 40 and damn you build a hell of a lot of. For someone that had to start their Fort and keep in mind. I was not a muscular kid, so it wasn't like his though. I was muscular. I got fat and then I just dumped all the fat. I mean, I really had I was not a thick kid a friend of mine Eddie Ravine who later on became a New York City.
[00:45:42] Cop used to call me Gumby. And it wasn't because I was flexible. It was because when you looked at me straight on I would really wide I had broad shoulders. I was probably built like this wide laughs when I turned sideways I disappeared. I was flat. [00:46:00] I didn't have a thick chest and have a thick back and the thing that I noticed the most about myself today is just the sheer thickness of my chest and my back.
[00:46:09] I mean, my body is so much thicker and and and it's really a lot more muscle than somebody who. Was built differently like somebody who had a bigger rib cage than me, you know and maybe had more thickness to the body begin with would probably look a lot bigger than I do, but it's a more compact because I was never sick to begin with.
[00:46:30] Did you get the new be quick game? It was hard to tell because I was shedding fat at the same time. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I mean I was losing body fat and I was gaining muscle at the same time. And and so and it wasn't really until I hit 50 that I really got shredded. I figured things out diet-wise and it did help that I was divorcing and I had an apartment and I was able to cook and eat what I wanted when I wanted.
[00:47:00] [00:47:00] There's a lot to that I got to tell you the truth, you know, you know, I would I would get up in the morning and I would do cardio is live in an apartment that had a nice little gym. I would get up in the morning freezing out. I would go walk over and I would do cardio come home and eat work on the show for a while digest my food go to the gym and train come back and eat.
[00:47:20] Work on the show do the show and after my show eat again, and you know in the summertime as soon as my show was done. I was out by the pool laying in the Sun and so when you have a lot of control on your day, and it's just you. And no one else needs you to do things. You really can make progress very very quickly because you it's easy for you to do the same things day in and day out and no one is like, oh, you know, let's go to the movies tonight.
[00:47:46] No, I don't want to go to the movies tonight because I want to get up early to train now. You're now you're a dud. You know what? I mean? It's like oh, you know, you don't want to do anything. So. Who is a very exciting period for me quite frankly? It was kind of like a [00:48:00] monastic kind of a life very very solitary very narrowly focused on just the things I wanted to do and and and holy crap the progress, you know, the progress is amazing.
[00:48:11] I mean I had that the first time I saw my abs now I see my abs all the time now, but that was the first time I actually saw I remember I remember walking into the sauna one day. And I saw a guy who knew me from like five ten years ago who hadn't seen me since you know, all these changes and I looked at him and I said Derek man it how you doing.
[00:48:33] He looked at me I said, it's Carlin or he goes dude, man. He goes you ripped. He goes he goes when you walked in here. All I was thinking was damn. This guy's got abs, you know, it's like it was like, yeah, you know, I'm really focused on me. And prior to shr. Where did you get your information?
[00:48:53] Same place. Everybody else says the forum's, you know, same place same bellies. All right, let's take this last commercial break when we come [00:49:00] back. We have the blue blue print tip of the day stay tuned right back, you know technology is amazing. I just got new tritium sights for one of my hand guns.
[00:49:12] Yeah. Are you familiar with what tritium is? I'm not. It's a radioactive material left over from radioactive reactors. It's a liquid it glows for up to 12 years. There's no chance of getting radiation from it. But now they put it in sites. So the site glow green and the best of all they glow green at night in the dark.
[00:49:42] Wow, I mean I'm talking about glow. I mean like they look like little LEDs like even right now and daytime they're so they're so bright and green. It's. It's incredible. Yeah, I know technology technology is pretty cool. Sometimes it really is like that who would have thought this is probably a waste product [00:50:00] and then somebody was like Hey that stuff glows.
[00:50:01] Maybe we should maybe we should put it in handgun sites so that they they glowed brighter. Anyway, okay, and I was just speaking out checking it out. Good thing. Nobody walks past my studio. Okay, so what the blueprint tip of the day? Tip of the day is thoughts on what's possible when your mind is open to things.
[00:50:26] So in one of the gems that I train that there's a woman who box squats her name's Mary one day. We got to talk to him and I asked her I said hey, what's your one rep max? She said 315. Wow. Yeah, we gets better and that she saw me right recording numbers and my training log and she asked me what I was doing.
[00:50:49] I said, you know, I'm checking off my set and rep boxes. You know, I know how much weight I'm using boom. Boom. Boom. She said what I said, yeah. I [00:51:00] said I used these loading patterns to get stronger. They are incredibly effective way to train and then she asked me if I would share them with her and I obliged email to her that was four and a half months ago during that time.
[00:51:17] She's worked through German loading pattern one German loading pattern to and is just finishing up the Russian strength program generator now this Friday. She has her final workout in that Series where she peeps now get this she expects to PR anywhere between four seventy and five hundred pounds.
[00:51:43] Holy mackerel, which means conservatively speaking very added a hundred fifty pounds to her squat in the last four months just by learning to do something right progression, right? Yeah. This is Turbo progress. [00:52:00] Maybe that's our calling. Anyway, they also reports that every other list that she's performed gets the knock-on effect, which is to say the weight that she uses in all of our exercises have increased exponentially as you can probably imagine.
[00:52:20] This is really raised some eyebrows around the gym. So, you know what's coming next, right? Yep, there's just got to be on the juice has to be nothing else could possibly explain so it's progress It's been so astounding it can only be explained by the use of powerful bodybuilding drugs. I'm here to tell you.
[00:52:44] I know Mary. Well real. Well, she's not on any drugs. She doesn't even use supplements. She's on the power of information. So the question you really need to ask yourself valve is this [00:53:00] when was the last time you had a hundred fifty pounds to your squat in four months or a hundred fifty pounds period okay now for the really sad news.
[00:53:13] A few months ago. I offered to send these loading patterns to anyone who asks for free of charge. No strings attached. All you had to do was ask for. I got precisely one person who came calling. I literally can't give these things away. So I stop but I will never stop telling you the truth information is your most powerful weapon at your disposal.
[00:53:46] Okay On a related note. I told a friend of the gym recently I said, hey, you're Charles poliquin died. He said who he had no idea who Charles was because he doesn't read [00:54:00] about training. You know, I happen to have children's book and poliquin principles with me and I offered it to him. He turned his nose up at it.
[00:54:10] He does know who wrote The Underground steroid handbook wanted to though and he can speak at length. Almost verbatim the ad copy about the half-dozen supplements. He's on so if I replace those six supplements, let's say six that you're currently using the following six sources of information you be astronomically bigger and stronger super squats by Randall J.
[00:54:42] Strawson Westside barbell the conjugate meth. Subscription to the blueprint Bowen history strongest men and how they train the ultimate blueprint and convict conditioning.
[00:54:58] Just one of those books [00:55:00] can change your training life. So I'm going to keep telling you this, you know for one very simple reason. It's the truth. And you need to get on board with this stuff Pronto, especially when it's free. I mean like we we talked over the top of the show. I have a webinar Thursday, you can sign up for on my website register for it.
[00:55:26] It is a free webinar on hormone optimization. Okay, it is this Thursday at 2 p.m. I would tell you to do it because creatine and even steroids can't hold a candle to the power of information these loading patterns like you keep blabbing on about they are maybe one one-hundredth of the information of the ultimate blueprint and again, [00:56:00] This woman has put a hundred and fifty pounds of a squat.
[00:56:04] So by the way, she doesn't let her socks and without a belt too.
[00:56:12] You can only imagine right I'm assuming she's a big person right see if he's there. She's built like, you know a fireplug right now, okay. Fire hydrant, but look, you know, you can't take that accomplishment away from her. Even if she was doing this completely wrong. She went from 315 to 470 255 pounds and I have every confidence that she's going to come out closer to 500 the 470.
[00:56:45] So, I don't know. I mean sometimes I just really shake my head. It's tough. It's tough to get people to I guess believe that that information is that powerful. [00:57:00] Yeah, if you could walk in the GMT and buy a bottle of X of up your squat by 150. Yeah, but you got to buy three month supply right exactly.
[00:57:09] Would you do it? Yeah. Oh my God, I would pay astronomical amount of money. Yeah. So while you know what I don't have those loading patterns, I want them. Oh say no more. They're on the way. Okay, because you know once I get the foot surgery is going to happen the week after Thanksgiving. Yeah, I'll be six weeks with no weight on the foot at all.
[00:57:32] And then after that I will be rehabbing the foot and sometime in 2019. I want a bar across my back and I want to start squatting. Yeah, what is the third jury the week after Thanksgiving? Okay, that's that that Tuesday. In fact, that's one of the blueprint powers that I'll have to take off for because I'll be in surgery the Tuesday after Thanksgiving.
[00:57:55] It's the maybe recovery time six weeks no wait, and then the cast [00:58:00] comes off and I'll start rehabbing the foot after that. I guess wow. You got the PPC 150 all I got I got it all I got everything. I got bpc. I've got growth hormone. I've got everything. I need to make this sucker heal fast. Just like the first surgery so fantastic.
[00:58:18] So the goal is to get the bar back on your shoulder. Oh, yeah. My goal is to spot. I did stiff leg dead lifts the other day with a hundred and forty five pounds and nothing heavy and it's hard because I can't I can't purchase the ground with my left foot. Yeah, you know my left foot is rocking back and forth.
[00:58:38] The right foot is planted and and you know by not being able to rely on the front of my foot, you know, the pad of my foot that means that the right foot is not also you can't with you sit if you stand up out of a chair. Can't roll forward onto the balls of your [00:59:00] feet just one foot and the other one you stand on the heel, you know what I mean?
[00:59:04] It's just it's throwing everything off its thrown everything off. It's causing my left knee problems. So I'm ready for this to be over and yes, I will and 2019. I will be squatting again. I don't know what I'm going to squat in 2019, but maybe with the help of German loading patterns. I can get back into some respectable weight and then 2020.
[00:59:23] Maybe I'll be able to squat what I've done. Past who knows? I just sent them to you brother. Thank you call of any questions. There you go. There you go. All right, that's it for today. I guess thank you for listening. Also our renew our X renew ReNew Life RX our HRT sponsors getting amazing. I'm getting contacted from people who are reaching out to them and going I'm signing up with these guys.
[00:59:48] Adam Lamb is amazing. They answered my questions. Nope, no hassle. If you're on the fence about HRT. And you want to talk to somebody about it go to [01:00:00] Super Mario dot net and click the ReNew Life RX Banner ad you'll save 20% off if you decide to get lab work done, but you can just reach out to Adam Lamb and chat with him because this is an organization that can service you no matter where you live because they have doctors in every state.
[01:00:19] This is not telemedicine. This is doctors in every state who actually see you and they send people out to do the lab work. They come to your house. I mean, it's dynamite. I'm getting such great feedback from this sponsor. I'm so excited about them. So Schultz convenience. You don't think that Adam Lamb is he's built this this business from the ground up based on what people want what people need.
[01:00:45] You know ultra high level of convenience price-sensitive. This is not a steroid Mill. You know, this is this is good for women to women who want HRT and they don't have [01:01:00] a good HRT doctor in their backyard, right? So anyway, check them out. I just wanted to give them a shout out. We'll see her body tomorrow with more Superior radio.
[01:01:09] Thanks Rob. Thanks. I will see you tomorrow everybody.
