SHR # 2421 :: The BluePrint Power Hour
Show Notes:
[4:15] When will Synthagen be back in stock?
- End of the year.
[15:20] Keeping inflammation in check.
- Sometimes inflammation is beneficial.
- Training in itself is an irritation to the body.
- Avoiding excessive training will go a long way.
- Hot and cold contrast showers are surprisingly effective.
- Infrared sauna.
- PEMF
- Mitored light.
- Nutraceuticals: baby aspirin or white willow bark, fish oil, curucumin, Boswellia Serrata, Kratom.
- Antioxidants: Superoxide dismutase, curucumin, green tea extract, short bursts of c-60, vitamin C, Tocotrienols (red palm oil is a good source), Astaxanthin, alpha lipoic acid, quercetin, fisetin, NAC.
- DMSO- be cautious of cell toxicity.
[32:29] Curcumin/turmeric as an MAOI?
- There are some herbs, such as saffron, that act as a natural MAOI.
- Anxiolytic and pain relief effects. High doses can have an SSRI type of effect.
[41:24] Walmart is now selling collagen peptides.
- Collagen is 40% glycine, meaning that it is important to buy organic.
[43:00] Stimulants to stay awake at work?
- The problem is lack of sleep.
- Get a sleep tracker and fix apnea if you have it.
- A Sleepon ring is around 90 dollars.
- Test levels could be too low.
- Lack of sleep can lower SHBG, rendering sex hormones less effective.
- If you have narcolepsy, stimulants will have the opposite effect of what they normally do.
- Modafinil is a controlled substance, but Adrafanil is not.
- Adrafanil must be dosed higher and can have higher risk of liver toxicity.
[54:06] The pointy bone at the top of my shoulder is sore.
- Could be an AC joint issue, bursitis, impingement, supraspinatus issue, etc.
- BPC-157, TB-4, and MGF would probably help.
[1:03:40] Weak shoulders? I have been doing Wendler’s 5/3/1.
- The issue is rarely hypertrophy. The usual problem is narrow clavicles.
- Larry Scott fixed this problem by seeking out help from one of the best coaches of the time: Vince Gironda.
- He played to his strength (arms) to draw attention away from his narrow clavicles.
- Ditch the overhead press for handstand pushups.
- Drop the upright rows.
- The Bradford press is a valid movement .
- Rob does not like lateral raises.
- Performing enough big pulling movements should build up your rear delts.
- The reverse pec-deck is a valid movement.
[1:15:17] Why do so many people avoid the real reason that bodybuilders die early (steroids)?
- The real issue is not steroids. They only contribute a small portion of the cause to a problem that is largely overblown.
- Larger people die sooner.
- There is actually a much larger sample of bodybuilders that didn’t die young.
- The media is not concerned with facts or details.
- Insulin, diuretics, and painkillers are more dangerous than steroids.
[1:29:53] How to make progress with limited equipment.
