Viewer/Listener questions are answered about training, nutrition, supplementation and more. Come join the fun and post your questions here. Nothing is off topic. PLUS The guys from Piedmontese.com stop by to teach Carl the right way to prepare beef. PLUS Science isn't like math or physics where the results are absolute and predicted by reproducibility. This is why you must apply critical thinking when reading science. And when your paper suffers from GiGo (Garbage In Garbage Out) people need to be weary of it. Here's an example with a paper pointing out the 10 things that can help prevent Alzheimer's. http://www.piedmontese.com Code SHR for 2 free 10oz NY Strip Steaks with every order of $50 - OR - 25% OFF site wide the weekend of 7/24. http://coachrobregish.com code SHR for $4.99 BluePrint Bulletin Special.

Some Questions Answered
Reid Jackson
I don’t have much time to train. Between 3 jobs, a family and other interests I can maybe get in two workouts a week. Sometimes for an hour but more often for just half an hour. What’s the best way to go about it?

Don Owen
I heard a show where you said PeptoPro really wasn’t worth it, then I see where its hydrolyzed casein. But I now see advertisements for hydrolyzed whey. That would be better, right?

Jerry Byers
I’m a prepper, or someone who prepares for the worst. While I don’t expect to build muscle if I have to bug out, I would like to keep it. Any tips on what’s best to bring to eat?

Art Barr
Why do I still see ephedra listed as being in some products? I thought it was banned?

Tony Massaro
I used to be built but have lost almost all of my muscle. Like a good 40lbs worth. I’m down to 140lbs, and it isn’t a healthy looking 140. The weird thing is that I sort of expected this from giving up lifting, although I continue to eat normally – same way as when I was lifting. Why is that, and what can I do about it?

BP TIP OF THE DAY: IT PAYS TO BE PREPARED

Show Notes:

[6:57] Best Way to train with limited time?

• Your best option is to go to bed an hour earlier and wake up an hour earlier.
• Use compound movements.
• Try to get the best effect out of the smallest number of sets.
• Superset antagonist groups.
• Aim for more work per unit of time.
• Triple drop sets.

[]14:30] Food and supplements to reduce DOMS.

• Assuming that you aren’t implementing completely novel stimuli eac session:
• Mass Pro Synthagen.
• 6-10 grams of EAAs
• 200mg of caffeine post workout (don’t let it interfere with sleep)

[16:50] Tight hips leading to lower back pain.

• Could be tight hamstrings.
• Static ab crunches could help.
• Use reverse hypers and bridges.
• Piriformis and psoas could be the culprit as well.

[20:54] Hydrolyzed whey and peptopro.

• They are both bitter.
• H Whey recovered isometric strength faster than isolate in a study.
• It also replenishes glycogen stores faster than isolate.
• It also leaves the bloodstream more quickly.
• Rob would opt for EAA over either.

[33:16] How to prep for the worst: keeping muscle.

• Water- at least 72 hours’ worth.
• 3 days’ worth of emergency food.
• Steer clear of SOS bars.
• Select savory snacks biltong is an excellent choice.
• Emergency food is being price gouged.

[45:00] why am I still seeing ephedra in supplements?

• It is the non-active constituents of the plant.

[49:40] Losing muscle mass from stopping lifting and  still eating the same amount.

• It depends on how fast you lose weight.
• Make sure to rule out cancer, HIV, etc.
• Increase protein intake after ruling out underlying causes.

[1:04:00] tip of the day: It pays to be prepared.

• You need water and the ability to prevent hypothermia.
• Put a thermal blanket in your car.

[1:17:00] Joe and Ben from Piedmontese give beef cooking tips.

• Thaw the day before in the fridge.
• Brown ground beef 15-17 minutes to allow fat/sauce to be reabsorbed by the meat.
• Reverse sear filets.
• Add butter for flavor, not tenderness..

[1:28:00] Piedmontese chicken.

• Air chilled.
• De-boned by hand.

[1:48:33] Not all “science” is scientific.
