• Most methods work to some degree but not forever.
• If you are ever confused about where to go in training, it is a good bet to default to 5x5.
• Charles Staley offers the most logical and common sense programming that Rob has seen.
• His written programs seem to have a better success rate than the other big coaches’ written programs.
• The Blueprint is a great option because it stacks various programs together in an effective manner.

• Shoot for bodyweight times 25 in calories.
• Liquid feeds are our friend.

• Hire a trainer or avail yourself to a good source of information.
• Proper nutrition and cutting junk out of your diet will do more than supplements.
• Buy a good mattress and pillow- “The rest of your days depend on the rest of your nights.”
• EAA are the first supplements that you should invest in.

[1:09:48] What is an effective method to lose  muscle.

• Rob does not recommend losing muscle.
• Sarcasm: go ahead and starve yourself, dramatically over or undertrain, stop training, stay up too later or get too little sleep, stress yourself out with alcohol, debt, and bad relationships. Add methyl prednisone for good measure.

[1:15:20] What are the benefits of switching from caffeine to ephedrine.

• Not much. The real magic is in the combination of the two.
• If you are dropping caffeine, Rob recommends sulbutiamine.
