Show Notes:
[5:40] How to handle the anabolic diet when switching from bulking to cutting.
- You can lower total calories or shorten the weekend carb refeed.
- After the refeed has been shortened, cut down on the junk carbs.
- Zig-zag your calories to match your training.
[14:45] Westside vs. the World documentary.
- It does a great job of chronicling the history of Westside.
- The drug use of the athletes was not really addressed in the documentary, nor did it need to be.
- The documentary details the sacrifices required for success.
[25:29] Thoughts on DMAA?
- Rob enjoys stimulants because of his introverted nature. Stims raise his demeanor and engagement.
- DMAA’s crash is too hard.
- Craze was a good pre workout, but the body builds up a tolerance to those designer stims pretty quickly.
[37:36] Specialization tips. Are body part specialization programs a waste of time?
- Calves require a very novel stimulus to grow.
- Try heavy static loads or jump soles.
- The neck and forearms will grow pretty easily whenever they are trained regularly like every other bodypart.
- These programs are valuable if you have a lagging body part.
[41:36] Quality Tribulus.
- The three products that are worth using are Tribestin, Adaptogen-N, and V-MO herbs Bulgarin Trib.

- Trap bar deadlifts allow you to lift around 7% more than conventional deadlifts and has less of a lower back contribution.
- Sumo Stance allows for a shorter range of motion.
- Trap bar deads are better for older lifters.

[55:00] Cardio for women? My wife won’t lift weights.
- Women need to lift weights.
- Traditional cardio can be catabolic.
- Try heavy lifting 1x/week and Lactic acid tolerance training 2x/week.
[1:10:42] Tip of the day: get comfortable being uncomfortable.
