Show Notes
[10:00] Incorporating Westside speed sets into a normal session without overtraining.
- Louis Simmons recommends against this.
- There are benefits to incorporating speed work.
- Try doing it after heavy work.
- Use 40-50% of your 1rm. Keep reps below 4.
[14:30] Best thing to do for tendon health?
- Rest
- Retool with bodyweight training (trx straps).
- Bpc-157.
- Igf-1ec
- 60mg vitamin C.
- Hydrolyzed collagen peptides.
[22:35] strengthening a patella tendon.
- Refer to the above advice.
- Pushing and pulling a weighted wheelbarrow up a slight incline can serve as a rehab in some cases.
[36:25] Advice for what to do with a fitness invention.

[40:52] Golfer’s elbow.
- Make sure to get a professional diagnosis.
- Rest it.
- Consider modifying your grip.
- Don’t ignore it and let it become tendonosis.
- Don’t use corticosteroids.
[53:08] Is all tribulus equal?
- You don’t want it from India or China.
- Alatus has better data for raising test.
- You cannot standardize trib for >60% furostenolic saponins.
- Thos saponins can also be found in fenugreek.
- Real trib picks up moisture very easily.
[1:01:43] Rob’s opinion on bodybuilding.com
- Almost all of the big boards are tied to selling supplements.
- The typical product is marked up to 6x the cost of production.
- Paid company reps.
- It is, overall, a money trap.
[1:06:43] Stacking DHEA, wild yam extract, and trib.
- Make sure to get vitamin c and zinc to blunt aromatization.
- It still won’t approach real TRT in terms of results.
- Preferably use transdermal DHEA.
- Suppressing the COX 1 and 2 enzymes can reduce aromatization because they are upstream substrate for aromatase.
[1:11:40] Can trib be home grown in the U.S.?
- Yes, but it won’t get the standardization that can be found in other products.
[1:20:17] Tip of the Day: Retooling from the ground up.
- Rob retools his training to be exclusively bodweight in nature whenever he sees injury coming.
- He always comes back stronger and his joints and tendons thank him.
