SHR # 2417 :: The BluePrint Power Hour
Show Notes:
[7:17] Vanadyl sulfate?
- It acts as a GDA by stimulating glucose uptake in a non-insulin dependent manner.
- There are potential liver toxicity issues due to its buildup in the body.
- Use blood work to assess effectiveness and toxicity.
[13:07] Craze vs. dirty stims?
- Craze contained a twice removed precursor to amphetimenes.
- These was a PEA analog.
- It gave a non-jittery, controlled focus.
[19:44] Progressing bodyweight exercises.
- Do a % equal to your age. (i.e. a 55 year old will do 55% of his training as bodyweight.)
- As you lose weight, these movements will become easier.
- Some weighted movements can’t be replicated by with bodyweight.
- Body weight movements naturally regulate appetite.
[24:45] Ecdy- Speculation of the studies performed on it.
- Rob values anecdotal experience using real ecdy.
- Studies can still be valid when they aren’t done in the U.S.
[38:30] Extra supplements for muscle gain while on HRT?
- Up your protein intake.
- Use Kroger’s break free, pasteurized egg whites.
- Dude, you are on test!
- Food will get you better results than adding anything else.
- The doctor can prescribe you Deca or Anavar if you are injured.
- Anavar is expensive.
- Deca has the side effect of erectile disfunction.
- Cardio helps with E.D.
- Meditation and proper sleep can help with anxiety related E.D.
- Anavar has a high anabolic to androgen ratio.
- Watch out for kidney damage from anavar.
- GH can help.
- Remember than anabolism isn’t discriminatory.
[48:55] Old training courses that Rob recommends.
- Super squats.
- Leo Costa’s Big Beyond Belief, Bulgarian Method, Titan Training.
- Gironda’s Muscle Has 6 Sides.
- Dr. Fred Hatfield’s methods.
[53:10] Should I forsake abs while mass gaining?
- Increase your protein intake to 2.5-3 times your bodyweight to overfeed, and your fat gain will be minimized.
[55:07] Peptopro vs. EAA?
- Peptopro doesn’t seem to perform as well as certain combinations of EAA in the real world.
- EAA ratios are easily manipulated.
- Peptopro ratios are set.
- Peptopro is also very expensive.
- Di and Tri peptides have to be broken down.
[1:02:33] Top range rack pulls: Are there any symptoms that would steer you clear from doing them?
- Get an MRI if you are in doubt about your back.
- Rack pulls made Rob’s back feel better when he had a subluxation.
- The movement is pretty safe as long as there is no trunk flexion.
- Using them 2x/month yields great CNS gains.
- Start with a light weight and make smaller jumps.
- Planking strengthens the lower back.
- Use an inversion table and PEMF for lower back pain.
- Inversions tables can stretch too much, so start on a smaller incline.
[1:16:55] Tip of the day: Using training to cope with loss.
- Seeing death at a young age can be the first time that you realize that adults don’t have all of the answers.
- Carrying on is not disrespectful to the individual that passed.
