[00:00:00] Carl Lanore: [00:00:00] did you miss me? I was gone last week we ran we ran some really fantastic shows. Today is September 24th. My mother's birthday Florence Marie De nieve o was her maiden name and she was born September 24th. 1924. Today is September 24th 2019. For those of you listening to this show way way way in the future a hundred years ago from now, you'll know.
[00:00:27] And you know about my mom too. I was gone last week. I was out in California having some fun. I reran two great shows. I hope some of the new listeners took the time to listen to of doves diplomats and diabetes with dr. Melinda Watts fee, which is a game-changing book. And of course the other show I ran with isn't it funny?
[00:00:47] I forgot whether Iran reran to really good shows. I think the other one was on. Let's see Haram held syndrome. No, no, no the story of the human body with dr. Daniel Lieberman, which is another book that every human being [00:01:00] should read
[00:01:00] Coach Rob Regish: [00:01:00] and
[00:01:01] Carl Lanore: [00:01:01] so I reran those shows last week to give people a chance who've never heard those shows before to hear them.
[00:01:07] Of course. Today is Tuesday. We have the blueprint Power Hour. Calling all
[00:01:11] Coach Rob Regish: [00:01:11] blueprint Army
[00:01:13] Carl Lanore: [00:01:13] fall in line. It's time for the
[00:01:15] Coach Rob Regish: [00:01:15] blueprint Power Hour with Coach Rodriguez
[00:01:18] Carl Lanore: [00:01:18] on the Superhuman radio network.
[00:01:24] Are you doing
[00:01:24] Coach Rob Regish: [00:01:24] Rob I'm doing well. How about you
[00:01:27] Carl Lanore: [00:01:27] wonderful. Wonderful. Let me just adjust your mic a little bit. I think my mic is a little
[00:01:31] Coach Rob Regish: [00:01:31] low
[00:01:32] Carl Lanore: [00:01:32] test. Test test. Yeah, everything's all whack. They'll phobia. Okay. Yes. So, how is your training going I'll tell
[00:01:40] Coach Rob Regish: [00:01:40] you about my training is going terrific.
[00:01:42] I am going to wrap up this week. And then I promised my wife I would take two weeks off while she is in Europe and she's going to go meet Panos antonakos. So it effectively removes the risk that I'll have a rhabdo episode, which is what she was worried about
[00:01:59] Carl Lanore: [00:01:59] me. Are you [00:02:00] are you not are you not going to Europe also?
[00:02:03] Coach Rob Regish: [00:02:03] No, she her mother's actually taking her and her sister. I'm I guess once in a lifetime trip. Yeah, very nice. Very very nice. So I'm staying here with the dog.
[00:02:13] Carl Lanore: [00:02:13] Yeah, somebody's got to take it. That's the that's the downside of having dogs. Isn't it? Somebody's got to take care of the dog.
[00:02:18] Coach Rob Regish: [00:02:18] Yeah, you're not going away from unless you border him at a kennel, you know,
[00:02:21] Carl Lanore: [00:02:21] and then you don't know what's going to happen to them if they're going to be treated right or they're going to get sick while they're there and then you got to get a bunch before you came to drop them off.
[00:02:28] You gotta drop like a couple hundred dollars on Bordetella shots and everything else. It's like
[00:02:33] Coach Rob Regish: [00:02:33] yeah, it's a big production
[00:02:35] Carl Lanore: [00:02:35] easy to keep them home. So you remember three weeks ago. I tore my right hamstring.
[00:02:42] Coach Rob Regish: [00:02:42] Yes, I do. I was
[00:02:43] Carl Lanore: [00:02:43] and I was using bpc 157 and healed literally in like four days. I had no pain anymore.
[00:02:49] Wow, when I started training at the following week and and again the following week and I actually trained it this past.
[00:03:01] [00:03:00] Coach Rob Regish: [00:03:01] Let's see.
[00:03:01] Carl Lanore: [00:03:01] I got home. I trained at this past Saturday. I believe I. Yeah, Saturday and I trained legs again this morning and I heard the friggin hamstring again. Ha ha ha I'm going I went to fat but but I backed off immediately.
[00:03:17] I was like so tuned in and as soon as I felt even a hint of the burning I let the weight up and it's just not it doesn't hurt right now like it did the first time I heard it because I backed off right away, but back to the bpc and staying off of it for a while. I just went too fast.
[00:03:34] Coach Rob Regish: [00:03:34] What movement was it seated
[00:03:36] Carl Lanore: [00:03:36] leg curls and I slide all the way up.
[00:03:39] So I'm just sitting on the balls of my ass. So the hamstring can contract from both ends. And that's why I keep getting it up higher from the middle middle up instead of the middle down.
[00:03:50] Coach Rob Regish: [00:03:50] Well, okay. Yeah go slow.
[00:03:53] Carl Lanore: [00:03:53] I know I was actually two plates from the whole stack. This time was like so happy. I actually did one complete set Within.
[00:03:59] So I [00:04:00] graduated to that I did one complete set and then I thought let me go ahead and do a fifth set. I should have just stopped actually just
[00:04:06] Coach Rob Regish: [00:04:06] but
[00:04:07] Carl Lanore: [00:04:07] you know, I'm a jerk I am. What can I say? I am I admit it. I know it.
[00:04:15] Coach Rob Regish: [00:04:15] More beefy PC 157
[00:04:17] Carl Lanore: [00:04:17] already already did two milligrams that I did one this morning.
[00:04:20] I do want in the morning naturally and then I did another one right after the workout.
[00:04:24] Coach Rob Regish: [00:04:24] Yeah, great stuff.
[00:04:25] Carl Lanore: [00:04:25] Yeah. So anyway, and you are training. Good in the gym. Everything's going well.
[00:04:31] Coach Rob Regish: [00:04:31] I am I am like I said, this is the last week. I'll be doing some trap bar deadlifts some Network and also my other day upper body push full.
[00:04:41] So, you know, I'm excited. I do believe it's time for some time off and it's it's what I need to do at this point to make sure I don't put myself in the hospital
[00:04:53] Carl Lanore: [00:04:53] again. So Shannon your antenna why I saw it while I was out in, California. Has the most amazing trap [00:05:00] bar it is a three-sided trap are
[00:05:03] Coach Rob Regish: [00:05:03] you know
[00:05:04] Carl Lanore: [00:05:04] how trap are usually is, you know, like an almost a not an octagon.
[00:05:09] Maybe it is x 1 2 3 4 5 6. Yeah. I know what you would call that a septagon. I don't know. Well this trap bar has an open side. It's just three sides. So you can actually do lunges with it. You could do you can actually do farmers walks with it without having a short step because when I do farmers walks with a trap bar, right?
[00:05:32] I can't really walk as far stride as far as I want because of the bar the front of the bar in the back of the bar of the trap bar, you know restrict my stride. This is a three-sided trap bar. It's amazing you can lunge with it. You can do farmers walks with it. I mean.
[00:05:48] Coach Rob Regish: [00:05:48] That's actually a great idea because the only downside to it in my view is stepping in and out of
[00:05:53] Carl Lanore: [00:05:53] it.
[00:05:53] Yeah, you don't have to step in and out of it it is there is no in and out. It's not it's not a closed. You know, it's [00:06:00] not a closed form.
[00:06:02] Coach Rob Regish: [00:06:02] Good. Yeah, I would think that would be awkward to lift, but maybe not.
[00:06:06] Carl Lanore: [00:06:06] No, because it's not it's not it's the same thing as lifting a regular trap bar. It doesn't it's not the weight doesn't tilt differently because of the fact that it doesn't have a back side or front side, depending on how you holding it.
[00:06:16] Wow, who really cool stuff? Larry Manali says I buy a lot of my supplements at point of sale, which I realize is it always the cheapest and definitely not the cheapest. Are you aware of any exceptionally goodbyes, or where I can find some cheap Staples.
[00:06:35] Coach Rob Regish: [00:06:35] Yeah, you know, I've almost entirely discontinued buying things at point of sale.
[00:06:39] I mean, I just find them. I find it much easier and I'm less overwhelmed to go online find something that I like compare labels, right and then it's shipped to you. So it gets right to my doorstep. As luck would have it though the other day. I went to Walmart my wife wanted to teach me how to [00:07:00] shop so that I can survive when she's gone.
[00:07:02] Carl Lanore: [00:07:02] That's funny
[00:07:03] Coach Rob Regish: [00:07:03] crock. And and we you know, we found ourselves in the vitamin aisle. Now before I go any further, I want to State this Walmart is not the place that you want to be buying supplements in particular their protein powders creatine and pre workouts are atrocious. They've actually seem to have changed their Model A little bit.
[00:07:27] They used to charge like 10 or 15 bucks for two pounds of the crappiest whey protein you can imagine but their stuff is actually. Yeah, those three things I just mentioned not only are they the lowest quality formulas. They are horribly overpriced now, so it's not like they're any kind of bark now.
[00:07:48] It is true that they expanded from what I could see. They're herbal and amino acid lineup, but 95% of it appeared to me to be very [00:08:00] low-quality stuff. You're not in the case of herbs. You're not dealing with extracts, you know, no active ingredient no results. And in that goes to for their they're used to have a Turk to Merit or curcumin they appear very schizophrenic.
[00:08:17] At least the one that I go to they've got like three different versions. None of which I would be buying. I just don't consider it a good item for that now amidst all those losers though. There were two admittedly. I thought pretty goodbyes for the money and those being Gaba capsules gamma-aminobutyric acid under 50 milligrams of cap hundred to a bottle.
[00:08:42] I forget the price but it was it was cheap and then the other one. Being there green tea extract. So her first I would Gaba, you know, I think we discussed this last week. Yeah, there's a lot of research [00:09:00] showing both when taken at rest and before our before sleep at, you know, during training showing biologically active at that growth hormone release.
[00:09:14] The big benefit though to my mind. Those are transient G8 releases the big benefit though is sleep given how many people struggle with sleep? It's a good buy now Gaba is virtually tasteless and water. It's a much better by in a bulk powder. But some people like capsules and so. What floor of their capsules are going to give you about three grams of Gaba?
[00:09:39] Which on an empty stomach before bed? I'm a hundred percent in favor of you can also take it if you wake up during the night. It will help you get back to sleep better. You will certainly dream more vividly. I'll tell you that. With respect to their green tea extract. It's probably their best product that I [00:10:00] saw their 500 milligrams per cap 62 a bottle the product sells because unlike almost everything else there.
[00:10:09] It's a standardized extract and it's standardized for 95% poly phenols, 80% catechins and 50% egcg, which should mean you're getting anywhere between 200 and 250 milligrams of EGC. Deeper chap, which if you look into the fat-burning benefits of green tea intimately tied to egcg content that is superior to their quote unquote green tea fat burner, which you'll also see their that product only gives you a hundred milligrams of egcg per cap plus 80 milligrams of caffeine.
[00:10:48] I prefer to get my caffeine. Via a separate product and they're they're they're gentle herbs just about as good as you're going to find you get 90 200 milligram [00:11:00] caps for a whopping three dollars and 43 cents when you also use their Standalone green tea and obviously gives you the option of not using caffeine.
[00:11:12] In that is a big issue, especially I think if you're using creatine for my subscribers next month, I'm going to be debuting a brand new caffeine alternative. That's tax particularly well with egcg we reviewed another new one last month. But this one I think is even more impressive at least the studies that have been done on it.
[00:11:37] It's very difficult to find notes only available at one place in this country. And my subscribers will get that. So otherwise I would stay away from Walmart and all point-of-sale. I just don't like it's way too expensive from what I've seen all
[00:11:53] Carl Lanore: [00:11:53] POS, you know, so the other day I was in a hurry to get a supplement to try.
[00:12:00] [00:12:00] Yeah. I intended to order from bulk supplements.com and I paid as much for a bottle at Vitamin Shoppe. Yep, as I did for entire kilo. Add bulk. Supplements.com.
[00:12:14] Coach Rob Regish: [00:12:14] Yeah,
[00:12:14] Carl Lanore: [00:12:14] I don't know. It's a you know. Between Amazon and bulk suppliers of products, especially in the supplement industry. It's become virtually impossible for companies like GNC and and Vitamin Shoppe to really compete with the knowledgeable.
[00:12:37] The knowledgeable Sports Nutrition minded person because sure there's a ton of people that walk in there and go I was watching. Dr. Oz He was talking about raspberry ketones. You have raspberry. Oh, yeah sure. We have rather, you know, those people they're not the serious-minded Sports Nutrition people the [00:13:00] sport the series Sports Nutrition people are buying online bio because it's just it's almost ludicrous.
[00:13:07] The money you'll spend that a vitamin shop versus online. It's just ridiculous. It's it makes you feel stupid. I feel stupid when I go in there. I want to try this tonight. I don't want to wait till it comes from bulk supplements. So I buy a small bottle for $30. I got a kilo for 40, you know what I mean?
[00:13:26] It just it makes you feel stupid, but when you're in a hurry, too. Experiment that that's you know, where you are and I just can't you know and plus these bricks and mortar places are I mean not Walmart because Walmart sells everything, right? Yeah, but GNC and Vitamin Shoppe these these these stores are in trouble today.
[00:13:49] They're in deep trouble because they can't compete with Amazon anymore. Amazon has fulfillment centers all over the country. You literally can order something today and have it tomorrow. Yeah, you [00:14:00] know, I mean, it's just it's just it's amazing.
[00:14:03] Coach Rob Regish: [00:14:03] Yeah, I would agree.
[00:14:04] Carl Lanore: [00:14:04] So this I got to thank this guy.
[00:14:06] So this guy here who Tom is the reason that my audience has grown our Alexis score today is a hundred and twenty seven thousand for those of you who know what Alexa is Alexa is grades websites by their traffic and the lower the number. The the the better your website like Facebook is like a three there in the top three websites on the internet right and and being in the top one hundred thousand or less is like an amazing achievement for.
[00:14:42] We're a hundred twenty seven thousand this morning and a lot of it I owe to you Tom and his hard work on our social media and we're not even spending money at we're going to start spending a budget on social media shortly. We're just working the bugs out of some of the I want to get the transcription [00:15:00] done on the videos, but I got to thank and so oh Tom.
[00:15:03] Has been listening to this show because he's been working with me and the dudes in the gym all the time crushing it now, so it's is great. I so he says I want to ask you about a pre-workout supplement. What should I go for also? What's your take on having black coffee before work out?
[00:15:19] Coach Rob Regish: [00:15:19] I'll let you go first.
[00:15:22] You know, I have long maintained your best pre-workout is both ephedrine combined with caffeine in lower. Dosages now ephedrine the or Federer I should say and F. Adran alkaloids were banned way back in 2004. If you look hard enough, you can still find some very high dose per pill pure ephedrine products, but those places are comparatively few and far between you can still go to any pharmacy and pick up either primatene or Brock [00:16:00] a tabs.
[00:16:01] Primatene are twelve twelve and a half milligrams of ephedrine hydrochloride.
[00:16:06] Carl Lanore: [00:16:06] He's but he's in India. Don't forget
[00:16:08] Coach Rob Regish: [00:16:08] then he very well then well black coffee is a great stimulant, especially if you don't drink it everyday. No question about that cayenne pepper. Very underrated. Product to use pre-workout both in terms of lifting more weight and burning more fat, you know, so I would tell you if you're limited to just a couple of items those two are major players and it can give you a great workout.
[00:16:42] Don't overdo it though. For those of you that are have been drinking black coffee habitually. Getting away from that on off days that you're not going to the gym can be a big boom yerba mate tea it or in your [00:17:00] her mate in general is an excellent alternative. And so I would encourage you to look into that perhaps either as an alternative black coffee or on the days when you don't train experiment with your mate, And ultimately you'll arrive at a good place but black coffee and cayenne.
[00:17:23] If you don't have you know, the the tip access
[00:17:26] Carl Lanore: [00:17:26] to yeah, if you don't have that yet and I don't know what the landscape is like on supplements in your area of the country and whether or not they have supplements for pre workouts like we have in the US, but I'm not a big fan anymore of these pre workouts.
[00:17:41] I got to be honest with you. I think that they. They actually hurt us after awhile, especially when we become dependent on them. Yeah when we feel like oh, I can't go to the gym today without my pre-workout. If you can't go to the gym today without your pre-workout that means you need to take off.
[00:17:58] Yep, and this was a great [00:18:00] blog post by my good friend that Del Musa in his blog subversive t.com that people are actually very overtrained those who use pre workouts every time they train because to take your body hostage. You really don't know if you feel like working out you take that and you you all right, you all revved up and you work out and your body is really not down for the job you're forcing it.
[00:18:24] And so when you do this over and over again, you can actually hurt your body over. You won't make gains either when you're overtrained, but here's another thing. If you can get a good matcha tea.
[00:18:37] Coach Rob Regish: [00:18:37] Take
[00:18:37] Carl Lanore: [00:18:37] a fairly large dose of that. I mean like it maybe a teaspoonful throw it in your mouth and wash it down with water and give it about 10 minutes.
[00:18:46] I love. Matcha as a pre-workout because it doesn't just stimulate you but it kind of wakes up your brain and it kind of makes you feel extremely alert and all fatigue starts in the [00:19:00] brain fatigue doesn't start in the muscles out here. It starts in the brain when the brain starts to feel exhausted.
[00:19:09] The muscle stop working and matcha tea is Magic. I like matcha tea as a pre-workout, but please try to get organic because that type of tea is a heavily sprayed crop and you don't want to concentrate those chemicals in your body. If you can help it give matcha tea a try as well and let me know.
[00:19:30] Coach Rob Regish: [00:19:30] It's almost a nootropic effect that I used it long ago. I should probably pick up some more. It's very very good in different
[00:19:40] Carl Lanore: [00:19:40] than I don't like the taste of it. That's why I don't use it all the time. I just don't like the taste of it like when you throw the powder and plus it sticks to your teeth.
[00:19:48] Yeah, it's very hard to spot a hygroscopic. It sticks to your teeth. It really is it really is but it's a fantastic fantastic pre-workout fat very very underrated [00:20:00] pre-workout because people think oh, it's just matcha tea. It doesn't have yohimbine in it. It doesn't know you don't need all that stuff.
[00:20:06] You really really don't
[00:20:07] Coach Rob Regish: [00:20:07] really own.
[00:20:08] Carl Lanore: [00:20:08] All right. So let's go for another question here. This one comes from Lance Russell Lisa's. I know steroids course protein synthesis, but I'm not on them. Since I'm not what supplements do do it best and where does creatine fit into the picture? I'm 18 years old just started training with weights and never miss a Power Hour.
[00:20:31] Thank you for that. Lance and the most anabolic thing you can do is Rob is said Time and Time and Time and Time and Time Again is called food.
[00:20:42] Coach Rob Regish: [00:20:42] Yeah food really is the ultimate and Ibaka, especially. Given your age. Okay, so and that 8
[00:20:50] Carl Lanore: [00:20:50] I already know what he's thinking right now. He's thinking oh man, like I want something sexy and there's a couple supplements you can use but nothing is going to be high quality protein get at [00:21:00] least 1 gram per pound of body weight.
[00:21:02] And if you can find a way to get closer to 2 grams per pound of body weight. Watch what happens to your body and just a couple three short weeks.
[00:21:10] Coach Rob Regish: [00:21:10] Yeah you at age 18 you will be in a very unique position for the next seven to ten years, whereby you will never have better hormone levels. Okay, and that goes for all hormones not just testosterone.
[00:21:25] But if you think about that, you don't need a test booster. You don't need testosterone itself. Your body is already making poodles of it. The most powerful antibiotic that you can add to that as you said adequate high protein intake and calories and 20 times your body weight. There are studies.
[00:21:49] If you look if you look hard enough, there are studies showing that simple overfeeding adds muscle tissue in the absence of weight [00:22:00] training in individuals that are your age, okay? Your other hormones during this time or at Peak efficiency to you know, you've probably heard of well, obviously young athletes.
[00:22:13] Recover much faster from injuries and old ones, right? Why is that growth hormone? And other reasons? Why is it young athletes can seemingly eat anything and not get fat. Well, it has to do also with growth hormone testosterone insulin and insulin sensitivity, right? All of those things. The point is all of your hormones are working at Peak efficiency in relation to each other.
[00:22:39] And even when you're older and shooting test and shooting this and shooting that you will never again have that hormonal Symphony work. Everything is imperfect relation to each other. So eat the having said that if you look in the studies, and I was just looking at these this morning, [00:23:00] On catabolism anti catabolism sarcopenia the age related loss of muscle tissue.
[00:23:07] And what increases protein synthesis best I can sum it up for you in two words resistance training and amino acids. That combination is especially important for older athletes over age 40 as there is a condition that exists called anabolic resistance essentially what it means they have found. In an older athlete it takes 40 grams of protein versus 20 in the younger
[00:23:37] Carl Lanore: [00:23:37] and I love it.
[00:23:37] I love when I post a picture of my protein shake my post workout protein shake and say there's 70 grams of protein here people go isn't that too much maybe for you but not for me. I'm 61 years old.
[00:23:50] Coach Rob Regish: [00:23:50] Right, right. So so when a young athlete you have everything you need you have all the hormones in the perfect portion of each other you need [00:24:00] only ask.
[00:24:01] 20 times calories and body weight and you will see if you are lifting with any kind of progressive resistance plan big things happen now when it comes to creatine. You know, I look at creatine as something that is maybe the last 10 pounds and so let's say it's the last 10 pounds in your journey going from 170 to 220.
[00:24:29] Right. That's that's 50 pounds. Hopefully most of it is going to be muscle tissue 10 pounds of creatine. By the way is the best case scenario and that exist. I would tell you in people already with a large degree of muscle tissue. Why well, you know early games anyway at least are tied to.
[00:24:53] Creatine going into the cell nucleus and attracting water. So I like a [00:25:00] water balloon. So obviously the more muscle you have the more its creatine's going to give you but it is a one-trick pony once those 10 pounds are on and again, that's a best-case scenario enough. No amount of creatine. You take above and beyond that no form no matter what.
[00:25:20] Other supplement you take with it to increase creatine storage. You're not going to gain more than those 10 pounds and 10 pounds is chump change compared to the 50 or more that you can add through overfeeding. I will tell you this it's not it's really simple and the truth what works best is consistent progressive resistance training adequate rest versus training days, not over train.
[00:25:50] And lots and lots of food and through the final tool that I'll tell you if I to do or do it over again, this is exactly what I would have [00:26:00] done different the final tool to use, you know is a is a tape measure you can get any Dollar Store. Okay, and that tape measure you should take all of your measurements, but in particular your waist around your name.
[00:26:15] Measuring that every two weeks or so and backing off the food for a few weeks as soon as you gain an inch around the waist around an inch that's going to go a long way toward keeping you from Gaining too much fat. The fact of the matter is over feeding. Like I said is tremendously anabolic.
[00:26:35] Unfortunately as time goes by the more time that goes by the enzymes that store fat. Become more active than the enzymes that build muscle and so in order to restore that favorable balance between those two you need to back off the food for a couple weeks and then your body will be much more receptive again to that [00:27:00] overfeeding so to summarize big weights.
[00:27:04] Big amount of food sleeping bag you do those strengths those three things at age 18 for the next seven to 10 years. You will grow as much muscle as possible. If you want to add one thing essential amino acids during. It's like going to cost you about $20 a month and its research proven to increase protein synthesis six hundred percent when six grams are taken right before the workout as opposed to after taking them after elevated protein synthesis still four hundred percent.
[00:27:39] But in order to get the most out of it, take it pre or Internet.
[00:27:43] Carl Lanore: [00:27:43] I remember. When BCAA is were all the rage I talked about the fact that EAS were required because taking BCAAs was was like blowing the whistle and calling the workers in but not giving him any bricks and cement to build the wall.
[00:28:00] [00:27:59] And yeah, and now a study was just published that ad El Moussa wrote about that showed that BCAAs don't do anything good for muscle unless you have those other components.
[00:28:11] Coach Rob Regish: [00:28:11] Yeah fits you we both been right thing on that table for a long
[00:28:15] Carl Lanore: [00:28:15] time yet and yet companies are still selling BCAAs and people still buy and BCAAs.
[00:28:19] They
[00:28:20] Coach Rob Regish: [00:28:20] take to your right. They sell tons of it still look if you're going to do it if you're going to take amino acids do it right take all nine essential amino acids take it in or around your training. You will certainly be better off for.
[00:28:37] Carl Lanore: [00:28:37] The next question comes from Mike Sanders. He said so I Googled your name the other day and saw some pictures of you.
[00:28:43] There's one in particular where your traps look like. They're up to your ears for someone almost 50 years old. You look really good. What would you say are your biggest contributors? How old are you now?
[00:28:55] Coach Rob Regish: [00:28:55] I'll be 50 in January. Okay.
[00:28:57] Carl Lanore: [00:28:57] Okay.
[00:28:58] Coach Rob Regish: [00:28:58] Yeah. Okay. Yeah, [00:29:00] so I actually took a long time to think about this because.
[00:29:03] I think it holds real relevance for many people that are listening. So so here goes I would tell you that the single biggest contributing factor to the muscle that I have built. Was consistency, you know, I started at lifting weights at age 15 and I did not stop never stop along the way. You know, I made many mistakes many it did matter.
[00:29:33] I persisted along the way I had more than my fair share of injuries like persistent and like many of you I hit plateaus a lot of them and I got really frustrated but I kept at it unbeknownst to me at the time even a bad workout has its benefits. Okay things for example, like muscle mature. [00:30:00] You can build a lot of muscle and take up a lot of space in your you know, by the time you're in your early 20s.
[00:30:07] You will take up the same amount of space at age 35 or 40, but you will look much much better and that is owed to what's called muscle maturity. The muscle has a much denser more separated look and every workout you perform even if you fail to get stronger. Has an unit additive effect towards muscle maturity.
[00:30:32] I can also tell you that in almost the exclusive focus on compound movements has served me. Well even today I perform just one isolation movement some dumb some right dumbbell lateral for my shoulders to flush some blood in there the way I look at it was this. I was told early by [00:31:00] somebody that was a bodybuilder that you know, you can develop your inner chest when you have a chest when your chest is as big as you want it to be then you can go about fooling around trying to make your inner chest better your outer packs or what have you.
[00:31:16] I never got to a point where I was happy with how much muscle I felt. You know, I was always trying to add more but that exclusive Focus. On big compound movements was fantastic and a big part of the reason why I think I was able to maximize my by genetics. I'll also tell you that lifting heavy and always pursuing strength increases on primarily powerlifting movements.
[00:31:47] Gave me a razor sharp central nervous system even today I'll I look at a lot of guys in my gym that are as big as I am or bigger. I'm usually [00:32:00] stronger in most of those movements and that a pretty Advanced age and I attribute that to the central nervous system that I built. Another thing that heavy training provided me was myofibrillar vs.
[00:32:14] Sarcoplasmic hypertrophy. So in other words. My real
[00:32:18] Carl Lanore: [00:32:18] real real tissue fiber real tishri was developed as opposed to filling the tissue up with more fluid the very very important. You know, I'm using Blood Flow Restriction bands right now because we have a new sponsor coming on in a couple months.
[00:32:31] They're very sophisticated. They have the pump you can set them. Millimeters of mercury so you can actually reproduce the results that were in the original car to research and if that what that does is that builds that bill sarcoplasmic space that that stretches things. So more fluid can get in that doesn't increase new tissue big difference very very different
[00:32:59] Coach Rob Regish: [00:32:59] and for [00:33:00] various reasons over the years.
[00:33:02] I've had to take a couple months off. I lost no sighs. No, I took measurements before and after now your mind will play tricks with you your mind on. Oh my God, I'm getting smaller. No, you're not. You know, are you going to be as strong when you return to the gym? No, but it's just a matter again of tuning up that central nervous system.
[00:33:25] One of the thing for those folks who think training heavy. All those years is going to leave you riddled with injuries. I only have one and severe arthritis in the right elbow. But otherwise, I am injury free. I have great knees I have you know good shoulders I even have a good back after after all this time squatting and deadlifting and why is that I believe it is because with the exception of a few years when I was in my [00:34:00] teens, and I didn't know better.
[00:34:01] I kept volume pretty low. Reasonably low a lot lower than what most guys would look at and say, you know, you need more than the fact of the matter. Is this though? Your joints only have so many heavy lifts right left in them. There is a reason the proof of that is this there's a reason you don't see 80 year olds in Jim's squatting and deadlifting before five or 600 pounds, okay, or or lifting?
[00:34:30] Your joints will limit you more than the muscles even today at almost 50. I can make my muscles stronger that's not the issue never has been the tendons the ligaments and the joint Integrity is the issue. The less wear and tear the better. Okay My Philosophy now, is this the movements that I use now?
[00:34:55] I will be able to use when I'm in my 80s now. [00:35:00] Maybe not with the same weights but their movements that my joint tendons ligaments Bursa fascia. All of the underlying tissues can endure right? It's not going to destroy them. You can some My Philosophy up on training by it's a nice quote from Winston Churchill his most famous speech it consisted of nine words, never give up never give up.
[00:35:27] Never give up. Those are words to live by and words that you won't forget. How many do you remember you're here high school or college valedictorian speech now, no nobody does and why people get up there and they like to hear themselves talk get the kite and point across keep it short and keep it to something that people can remember and use and if that speech doesn't do it for you.
[00:35:54] I don't know. What does yeah. We're gonna
[00:35:57] Carl Lanore: [00:35:57] take a quick commercial break and when we come back, we have a question [00:36:00] from Ricky Phelps about X I stare on which is something that Rob loves to talk about. You're listening to the blueprint Power Hour here or on a superhuman radio network and you can go to Coach Rodriguez.com to learn more read.
[00:36:14] Be intrigued be fascinated be the strongest kid on your block. So go there today. We'll be right back.
[00:36:26] I have no idea why there was no commercials going out so you can't hear this music right now.
[00:36:32] Coach Rob Regish: [00:36:32] I can't hear any music or commercials.
[00:36:37] Carl Lanore: [00:36:37] That's weird. I wonder if the listeners can hear. Otama, first of all, we don't know if he's still listening if anybody still listening and tell me tell me if you can hear the commercials on the video side.
[00:36:48] That's all I so the next question comes from the dog now, Ricky Phelps says since you mentioned that yuman study on acctaste are own a few months ago. I've tried a couple products [00:37:00] containing XD and lack sojin in everything you said is true, especially about. Low quality versions being bunk and high-quality one surprisingly effective.
[00:37:10] Where do you think equity research is going next? I wonder how he knew which ones were low quality and high quality.
[00:37:17] Coach Rob Regish: [00:37:17] I'm probably listen to the show. Okay. Yeah, you know a decade ago in 2009. I wrote the following words in the blueprint. I'll never forget writing him because I knew people thought I was going to be crazy I wrote.
[00:37:33] It's my sincere belief that once the Final Chapter an active stare own is written. It will be found to have as many if not more benefits for people than fish oil now that is obviously a huge statement. But let's take a look at a brief overview of the completed studies. [00:38:00] Not just in foreign countries, but here in the US as well.
[00:38:03] These have taken place in Russia. Japan. China Germany Hungary Brazil, and of course the United States here's a sampling of the headlines at least are own gives rats. Mega muscles act each their own curbs fat storage during a high-fat diet. Activate their own repairs cartilage and Joints low-dose active steroids strengthen bones.
[00:38:37] That was a big one low doses of XD promote muscle building XD steroids for younger skin anabolic effect of XD stare on strong enough to put it on the doping list and just recently at Rutgers University and this. I think if I forget the organisms that they use [00:39:00] but those getting active were shown to live a lot longer specifically XD dramatically increased oxygen consumption via an increase in the activity of mitochondria.
[00:39:15] Now, yes that last one I just read to you has not been shown, you know to happen in humans yet. But you know when I read that I just thought to myself my God. I have always maintained that within three days of starting a quality excuse their own product it noticeably improved my cardiovascular capacity.
[00:39:40] You know it is that increased in the activity of the mitochondria the reason. I don't know. I just know it's something that I can I know within three days if this is a good product or not all of those benefits and more that is by far the you know, not a not a [00:40:00] comprehensive list, but all of those benefits are juxtaposed.
[00:40:05] To virtually no side effects, which is a remarkable achievement considering the performance-enhancing benefits and health promoting benefits of the stuff. Here's the bottom line. I am more more confident than ever. that this family of compounds and there are over 500 identified so far with more being identified every.
[00:40:33] Our someday going to be a mainstream item in the same way. For example that you see glucosamine or fish oil today. They will probably be marketed under a less ownerís name, you know anything with the words stair own or steroid and it or are going to set alarm Bells off from the general public, right?
[00:40:55] But someday you're going to be able to walk into Costco [00:41:00] or Walmart or one of these Mega stores. And you're going to see active sterile sterile of sterols their own steroids, whatever you want to call for sale and people will be using it for everything from arthritis to sarcopenia. So look, we know.
[00:41:19] Where is it going do the math 500 500 some arm directly steroids identified. Hardly, a fraction of those have been studied the ones that have have tremendous benefits and in the hits just keep on coming
[00:41:37] Carl Lanore: [00:41:37] well and when I would imagine this a lot of people saying like the the science is bunk, it would require a an international conspiracy.
[00:41:47] For all of these different countries to be studying this compound and over not and all lying about it and all lying
[00:41:54] Coach Rob Regish: [00:41:54] ago over decades. No, you know, I don't know at what [00:42:00] point the Skeptics say. Oh, okay, you know, you're right. Maybe they never will and it doesn't matter, you know, if you want to use them great if you don't that's no skin off my back either.
[00:42:12] I'll tell just tell you based on 35 years of doing this. Um, they do something for me and I'm going to keep taking
[00:42:20] Carl Lanore: [00:42:20] so the magic ingredient is like sojin and or that's the species that you recommend that people explain to people who are listening to us and all of a sudden now, they're going okay. I should have paid attention.
[00:42:32] What should they look for in a good XD?
[00:42:36] Coach Rob Regish: [00:42:36] A good active product. I would tell you first to find one where the source genus is reponsible MacArthur modes extract frankly. It is the richest source of XD steroids that there is most of the research on performance enhancement. In Russia anyway was done on it and it is the one that I would use lacking that [00:43:00] I would look for a good Suma sterile extract.
[00:43:03] That's also a rich source. Lex Ogen is technically a analog of Equis Tehran which. It functions in much the same fashion at a much lower milligram amount, you know the studies that sear off did it it did on it back in 1976 you looked at four versions and they were effective in amounts as low as 25 milligrams.
[00:43:34] So max Ogen in is a place I would go after. Getting something with ricotta come. It's just a more efficient version. I would tell you at a lower milligram dosage.
[00:43:49] Carl Lanore: [00:43:49] Interesting. Yeah, I and what do you use in and what is it? It's in Mass Pro, right
[00:43:55] Coach Rob Regish: [00:43:55] I use in math prosim fission. I use Republican [00:44:00] carcinoid say full spectrum extract.
[00:44:02] Carl Lanore: [00:44:02] So it has all has all of the even the Undiscovered forms of equity that you talked about a second.
[00:44:08] Coach Rob Regish: [00:44:08] Yeah, and there's a group of compounds in response to come full spectrum. Anyway, that's known as the left scenes complex and it is it's a complex of 10 to 12 XD steroids depending upon who's literature.
[00:44:20] You read that has a very distinct effect on human beings and I firmly believe it's the best source to use. I do use Lex Ogen. In progenitor X but that's for different reasons. Yeah, it is. It is primarily I would tell you a very good anti-inflammatory compound. So
[00:44:44] Carl Lanore: [00:44:44] I Steve Dar says I'm on the short side five seven or so and I'm 19 years old given that there are effective G8 products on the market.
[00:44:53] Now how viable is taking them to increase my height at 19 years old.
[00:44:59] Coach Rob Regish: [00:44:59] Yeah, you know it's a [00:45:00] mystery question because he's right, you know today we have several compounds that can Elevate GH Around the Clock although it's not that simple, okay. Taking these type of things during puberty or adolescence frankly.
[00:45:17] It's uncharted waters right there MK 677 wasn't around till recently the peptides to so I'm going to give you my best guess and that doesn't necessarily mean. It's right by the way, so take it with a big grain of salt. But I look at GH therapy for what it's approved for in this country doctor prescribes, uh to treat
[00:45:43] Carl Lanore: [00:45:43] idiot called idiopathic short.
[00:45:46] Coach Rob Regish: [00:45:46] Right. I wanted to use the word dwarfism.
[00:45:49] Carl Lanore: [00:45:49] I don't know how that's it. That's it. That's a it's called idiopathic short stature. It means that you don't have a problem with a pituitary gland and you're just [00:46:00] not growing. You have some growth hormone, but for some reason not enough to make you grow and it usually people usually encounter idiopathic short stature and are diagnosed with it at a very very young age.
[00:46:11] Usually by the time they're four or five or six a doctor will say wow. They're in the. Lowest percentile of growth of their age group and and the problem with idiopathic short stature is its treated which Supra physiological doses of growth hormone. Doctors generally prescribed between 35 and 45 I use a week.
[00:46:36] Now that bodybuilders use 5 6 7 10 12 14 IU's a day children who was suffering with idiopathic short stature get the low end of that. They get five six seven eight. I use a day of growth hormone to spark that kind of growth but there's a period of time where you know growth page played start closing up in the opportunity to influence their height his past and [00:47:00] I would say that 19 years old.
[00:47:02] It's probably that ship has sailed for.
[00:47:05] Coach Rob Regish: [00:47:05] Yeah, you know the research that I looked at even with that amount of growth hormone. The numbers weren't terribly impressive. You know, I saw an average increase of anywhere from 2 to 3 inches
[00:47:16] Carl Lanore: [00:47:16] and yeah, but I talked to a guy who's 5 7 that's a big deal.
[00:47:19] Like if his parents would have got on that ship a long time ago. He'd be six foot today, and he wouldn't be writing us. You can write saying so
[00:47:26] Coach Rob Regish: [00:47:26] yeah and the kids get never like 9 to 10 years old from what I could
[00:47:30] Carl Lanore: [00:47:30] see. Yeah, usually around 8:00. That's I said, you know, they'll start to be diagnosed with idiopathic short stature around six or seven.
[00:47:38] They'll start getting they'll the parents will go. Yeah, we want to do something and usually like 7 8 9 and it and and here's another interesting fact about it, idiopathic short stature and growth hormone. So there was a study done probably about 20 years ago. That showed that they had two children to two groups of children.
[00:47:58] They were treating with growth [00:48:00] hormone for idiopathic short stature and one group got 35, I use and equal five IU a day doses seven days a week the other group. They broke the dosing up across two or three days. So it was the same 35 I use a week but one group got five IU's a day and the other one got maybe seven, you know every foot over the course of five days or 10 over the course of three days and whatever and what they found was.
[00:48:33] The children that got the regular increment day in and day out had less growth from that same 35. I use than the children that got an irregular dosing pattern.
[00:48:45] Coach Rob Regish: [00:48:45] That's interesting. Very interesting
[00:48:48] Carl Lanore: [00:48:48] very interesting and that's why I've never used growth hormone at the same dose day in and day out.
[00:48:54] I'm not using growth hormone now because I'm using security guards instead, but I used growth hormone for pretty [00:49:00] close. Maybe I don't know 18 years and back in the day. I used to use two to three IU's a day and then went after I read that study. I just became you know, I would do five I use today.
[00:49:13] I take off a couple days. I do another five I use I take off a couple days. I was doing that same 10 to you know, 27, what are the 15 I use a week, but I was breaking it out differently. I wasn't consistent with it because of that study because I read that stuff.
[00:49:30] Coach Rob Regish: [00:49:30] Yeah, so so I guess the short answer to your question is, you know at this age and given the you know, the ultimate the ways of elevating growth hormone.
[00:49:42] I don't see it reliably increasing height. The real question is. for kids and maybe current listening that are thinking. Hey, maybe I'll give my kid MK6 77 when he's 12 13. The real question is can It screw a kid? And [00:50:00] the honest answer that question is I don't know, you know, I don't know and it's what you don't know.
[00:50:07] That should give you pause. Okay, I think there are certainly more dangerous compounds to be playing with but. I can't ethically say yeah, go ahead and try it at Camp her.
[00:50:22] Carl Lanore: [00:50:22] Yeah, and I'm K 677 isn't going to raise. Your child's growth hormone high enough to do the same thing that the typical growth hormone treatment for idiopathic short stature is going to do
[00:50:35] Coach Rob Regish: [00:50:35] it.
[00:50:35] Just yeah. I just can't it's interesting you say that because when I was using it, I was using 25 milligrams a day Monday through Friday and my lab values showed that it did elevate igf-1. But only slightly over the top of the range it wasn't like way into the stratosphere
[00:50:57] Carl Lanore: [00:50:57] and I think the thing I the problem I have with [00:51:00] okay.
[00:51:00] So the problem I have with MK 677 is two things phenomenon called GH bleed when you're when you're constantly producing a higher level of growth hormone. The pulse has become less effective and because. Because the body becomes more used to higher levels of growth hormone responds less and does that this is also goes back to what I just said about irregular dosing.
[00:51:26] We see that, you know, when the body has, you know, I'm a firm believer in abundance and scarcity the body responds differently to things that it has constant access to versus things that has scared that are scarcely access to the other. With MK. 677 is it almost always causes one two or three of the following symptoms water retention?
[00:51:52] Does that to me like immediately? Like I start retaining water lethargy. I just don't feel like I have a lot of [00:52:00] energy and number three some people respond to it with great anxiety. In fact some of the studies done on older people. The number one reason that some of the elderly had a drop out of the MK 67 study was because they started develop severe anxiety.
[00:52:20] So. Where did my camera go? How did I come off the camera? There we go. Okay anyway, so yeah, I but I think the boat is sailed. It's too late for him to do anything and but then quite frankly 5-7 isn't short and I know most body. I think I think Jay Cutler's 5 7 or 5 8. I mean I know a lot of body builders in five seven five eight.
[00:52:43] Coach Rob Regish: [00:52:43] Yeah. I mean that's not terribly short but I guess the bottom line do is question is no I don't think there's anything I can. Reasonably be done now and likewise. I can't say but try it, you know, it's not
[00:52:57] Carl Lanore: [00:52:57] going to hurt you Seth Landover says, I have a [00:53:00] question about supplement safety, like most people who left I use a lot of them.
[00:53:05] My kids are young but not toddlers their early teens. Should I lock the stuff up like medicine?
[00:53:14] Coach Rob Regish: [00:53:14] This is an extremely important question for the following. Today we have supplements that actually work that you can feel that that speed people up that slow people down. We've enough supplements that can alter your Consciousness.
[00:53:34] Here are the hard and fast rules in my book in my opinion. Any stimulant should be locked away or Out Of Reach of any child on my countertop, for example. We have no children that live here. My son's 13, which I'll get into in a second. So he's old enough, but on my countertop, I have bottles of ephedrine caffeine a [00:54:00] pre-workout in final development with a unique stimulant.
[00:54:04] There's even a bottle over there. I think of Alfea and buy it somewhere. And as we talked about before, I have two tubs of the original craze which are in a box, but let's say they were on the countertop to ingesting any quantity of those is not going to end. Well, especially for a child it might even kill him hormonal stuff.
[00:54:30] I wouldn't be concerned about in the least. Let's say you're on HRT. You can leave the biggest bottle of testosterone that you've got, you know out right on the table the with the needle they could shoot the whole damn thing. I would not worry about the child at all.
[00:54:47] Carl Lanore: [00:54:47] I would have to disagree with that.
[00:54:51] I mean, that's an I know. I know you're I know that you're you're using an extreme to make a point about the safety of testosterone. Yeah, but a young [00:55:00] child injecting testosterone. Pre-puberty would be a horrible horrible
[00:55:05] Coach Rob Regish: [00:55:05] thing.
[00:55:05] Carl Lanore: [00:55:05] It would cause lots of problems just like young girls getting estrogen cream on them from their mothers HRT when they're nine ten years old and all of a sudden they start growing a lot of hair and their nipples start growing and like I mean I get what you're saying, you're right.
[00:55:20] I mean testosterone is very very safe. It's not gonna you can't overdose on it can't take too much and die from it. And that's the point. That's the point you're trying to make.
[00:55:29] Coach Rob Regish: [00:55:29] Yeah protein powders. Those are certainly okay to leave out too.
[00:55:33] Carl Lanore: [00:55:33] How about if we give him a protein powder kids need more protein?
[00:55:37] Coach Rob Regish: [00:55:37] Well, I thought I thought about that but. I want to caution parents on doing that and I'll tell you why. The problem is that unlike the old days some of them like thrive. Tastes really really good like the I think cakes or Thrive smells and tastes like vanilla [00:56:00] frosting right on that might cause them though, for example to look at a label of craze that says candy grape flavor.
[00:56:11] Right and try and try and try a big scoop of that. You know, you see you see there what's going on? Yeah,
[00:56:20] Carl Lanore: [00:56:20] so taste too good. So they're gonna they're gonna want to try it especially if it's candy flavored,
[00:56:26] Coach Rob Regish: [00:56:26] right? And if they see Dad using it, you know, they want to be like Dad, you know, God forbid they get into your ephedrine or caffeine or even worse you handy.
[00:56:41] Here's my position at least worth my son and I discussed this with him as soon as he could understand. I had a very Frank conversation with him. And here's how that conversation went. I said Nick. You can see a lot of supplements on my kitchen counter. [00:57:00] Some of them can kill you. Just come out and say it, you know, just tell him the truth.
[00:57:08] Yeah. Some of them can kill you. If you take too much take the wrong combination, you know, let's say the child takes it before baseball practice. He exercises in the heat, you know without enough water or any combination of the above it can end very very badly for them including dying.
[00:57:34] It might not even be a case of excessive dosage either, you know, you take a tough a child central nervous system that's never had caffeine that certainly never been exposed to ephedrine and they take 25 milligrams of ephedrine and a couple hundred milligrams of caffeine. They might not die. But you're
[00:57:54] Carl Lanore: [00:57:54] going to be will end up in the ER.
[00:57:55] There's no doubt about it and your eyes and then they're gonna want to know what kind of parent you are that your [00:58:00] kid has access to this and I think they're eight. The easy simple answer is lock your supplements up put them in the highest cupboard, you know, a lot of us keep our supplements out because we're proud of them.
[00:58:10] But if they think there's if there's children around you should lock him up. She put them up out of the way.
[00:58:15] Coach Rob Regish: [00:58:15] Yeah, put them up and I will put stimulants of the top of that list and let's be honest. Almost everybody that I can see is using a pre-workout and here's the big problem. It's in the form of powder
[00:58:29] Carl Lanore: [00:58:29] and it tastes like candy
[00:58:31] Coach Rob Regish: [00:58:31] and he's like right some of them do they taste like so look don't take the risk.
[00:58:39] If it takes you a few more seconds or minutes to get in and out of a lockbox Moon by God do it because you do not want to be in the situation that you just described. I'm in an ambulance on the way to the hospital. What did this kid take? And why
[00:58:54] Carl Lanore: [00:58:54] why is it accessible to them? Right? Why did you want a pair?
[00:58:57] You'll have child protective services come visit you there's no doubt [00:59:00] about it
[00:59:00] Coach Rob Regish: [00:59:00] you went and you know on that that's even if the child makes a full recovery, which is maybe down. So look lock them away and have that conversation with him and then you will have done everything reasonably possible to prevent a tragedy and I have to believe it happens.
[00:59:22] Carl Lanore: [00:59:22] Now, I definitely happens. There's no doubt about we don't hear about it as much probably because it's small town type news and it doesn't go far. But I'm sure there are any kids out there that took. That actually maybe took a little pre workout and when they shouldn't have and maybe the pair don't even bring him to the hospital because they're afraid of what the hospital is going to report and Child Protective Services going to get involved and I'm sure it happens.
[00:59:45] We're going to take a last commercial break when we come back. We have the blueprint tip of the day stay tuned. We'll be right back. Welcome back. I have a green line down the screen of my iPhone that makes it virtually impossible to read. [01:00:00] I don't know if you can see this. I'm going to try holding it up for the.
[01:00:03] For the for the Fallen Hero Let's see something. I hope you can see that or not.
[01:00:07] Coach Rob Regish: [01:00:07] Can you see I see I get a close enough
[01:00:10] Carl Lanore: [01:00:10] now. I can't it's too bright. It's too bright here. So I have I have a green line. It's probably one two, three four millimeters by three to four millimeters wide running down just right of the center of my screen and it started out as one line.
[01:00:27] And then it became two lines and then three lines and for like each one of them a pixel wide and I went to the iPhone store yesterday to have it fixed. They're like, oh yeah. This is a common problem with the tens. We'll get it taken care of Wednesday. You can't do it today. You have to make an appointment.
[01:00:43] Ah,
[01:00:44] Coach Rob Regish: [01:00:44] okay, what a pain in the
[01:00:46] Carl Lanore: [01:00:46] ass what the blueprint tip of the day rum.
[01:00:49] Coach Rob Regish: [01:00:49] tip of the day is revisiting. Our old friend Tribulus Tribulus terrestris,
[01:00:56] Carl Lanore: [01:00:56] you don't really funny metagenic six [01:01:00] that Eliza worked for a very very good supplement company. They only sell through Physicians. They have a Tribulus product that they claim is amazing stuff.
[01:01:10] Coach Rob Regish: [01:01:10] Yeah, well suffice to say I've been using high-quality trim on and off since the very early 90s when it was available. In this country and so part of the reason is that like Equity sterile. There's a noticeable effect in de facto. A lot of companies subsequently got on the Tribulus train, unfortunately and again like acti there was a lot of junk material, right that was floating around.
[01:01:42] So people, you know, they they. You've got a bad rap basically, but I will first sum up my thoughts on trib and then get into an experiment. I'm going to be using it for the next I'm going to report on it and the next time you print bullet, but the first the four one [01:02:00] one on high-quality trip. The first order of business should be.
[01:02:07] In finding and using the best quality Tribulus that means in my opinion using one of the following three brands try besten. So Pharma tribest in the original Standalone Tribulus in foil blister packs number two adaptogen n which is a combo product but is primarily driven. Because of the the dominant ingredient is a whopping 1,500 milligrams of Bulgarian Trim in the normal 3 capsule dose.
[01:02:45] And then the third is by a company called V Mo herb. They are located in Bulgaria interestingly enough then they're Tribulus as you can imagine is their Flagship item. [01:03:00] It is standardized for. For us to know likes happenings, but in particular one of the furrow Snorlax happenings the speculated active ingredient Proto diocese now.
[01:03:18] It's my opinion that Tribulus is not a testosterone booster the increase will it isn't it is let me explain the increases that it has. In the studies work and not all studies show that work but their meager at best right? We're talking about a 12-2 at best a 30% increase in your total testosterone, which in most cases is not nearly enough to move the needle, especially.
[01:03:52] if you're starting low, so you got to. Total test level of 300 nanograms per deciliter, you know, [01:04:00] even a 30 percent increase is going to get you to what 390 I mean if you really not going to feel it until your high high normal and that assumes you have corresponding free testosterone levels. Now where does have Merit though is in the following areas one nitric oxide production.
[01:04:21] For healthy blood vessels and that gets back to the Ferocious and oleg's happens. You will also note if you look through the literature A lot of it has to do with tribulus and heart health interestingly enough goes back to nitric oxide production. Also related to nitric oxide are its Pro sexual effects.
[01:04:45] It's pretty clear from people that have used good quality trivial. You get stronger erections. Okay. You also will notice a heightened sense of libido. It's not tied to I don't [01:05:00] believe it's tied to your testosterone level, but you are certainly looking around a lot more than you were before me before you started using it improvements in anaerobic power.
[01:05:13] Have also been noted as measured by the Wingate test in particular in the study done on boxers. There was also a noted reduction in igf-1 binding protein which resulted in a realm 20% increase in the your endogenous igf-1 levels and interestingly enough. This is something that I just came across when I was reviewing Tribulus recently.
[01:05:41] A very substantial reduction in muscle damage as measured by creatine kinase level now as you can imagine, it's the latter effect that has piqued my interest. So the only trim that I listed that I [01:06:00] haven't used is vemos. So I actually wrote them with a few questions about it and to my great surprise they offer to send me about.
[01:06:10] Um, which I have course come up on their offer. So in the very near future, then I'm going to be doing the same month of vemos trim evaluating the following parameters with both subjective and objective criteria, its effect on libido its effect on anaerobic power and its effect on muscle damage as measured by creatine kinase levels now, I'm just wrapping up an experiment on her solak acid which we talked about a couple weeks ago.
[01:06:47] So the trip experiment is going to be right on the heels of that both were shown in studies to mitigate muscle damage having a positive effect on anaerobic [01:07:00] power and they showed a trend. For more muscle and a little less fat if I'm not mistaken the best study done on that showed that older folks did lose muscle.
[01:07:14] They do not lose muscle. They didn't necessarily gain new muscle, but hey, you know not losing muscle as a win, too. For now, all I can say about the ER so like acid thing is I have noticed let's say hey is a surprising finding with people will be reading about but one interesting note the trip study using boxers that showed less muscle damage that was done using a product that was analyzed.
[01:07:45] In found the contain the following which means it had to be a full spectrum product the most abundant constituents identified were six types of Tribulus terrestris saponins, [01:08:00] 25 our spirit staying three, six twelve try own 25r Spiro stem for and 312 died on Tribulus terrestris a pin and a and b.
[01:08:13] Something called guide. Oh, jenin and also dioxygen at which everybody knows Robert. Thank you. Yeah, a lot of steroids are actually made from dioxygen. So now the reason I listed those is this we talked about lack sojin and earlier the more heavy among you are going to recognize those 225 are compounds are just different chemical names for.
[01:08:39] Like so Janet they are usually synthesized but they're found naturally occurring in Tribulus terrestris.
[01:08:47] Carl Lanore: [01:08:47] I'm going to I'm going to start you know, what and you know what I just thought of I may start taking I know a Lisa has a
[01:08:53] Coach Rob Regish: [01:08:53] bottle of it. It's a it's called test defend I think is what it's called from familiar [01:09:00] with angry.
[01:09:01] That's from fenugreek test event.
[01:09:03] Carl Lanore: [01:09:03] No, I think test if it is the name of is the name of the product made by. Metagenic that's supposed to be a male testosterone booster
[01:09:14] Coach Rob Regish: [01:09:14] and
[01:09:14] Carl Lanore: [01:09:14] the Main Ingredients is
[01:09:17] Coach Rob Regish: [01:09:17] Tribulus
[01:09:18] Carl Lanore: [01:09:18] and maybe I'll start taking it, you know, the reason that Tribulus gives you a libido is because it actually makes the seminal vesicles that the produce pre ejaculatory fluid.
[01:09:34] Making some reason makes them larger and that and that actually you feel that like it makes you feel like Willie, you know, like who I'm feeling a little something going on down there and that's what was attributed to the rise and libido because it's almost like when your prostate is stimulated you kind of get that feeling
[01:09:55] Coach Rob Regish: [01:09:55] so well, I'll tell you whatever it is.
[01:09:58] It's there every step of [01:10:00] quality. Now,
[01:10:01] Carl Lanore: [01:10:01] you know what Tribulus has been around for so long right? Like like BCAAs, they've been debunked like nobody wants a bother with because science is eventually shown that what we all knew BCAAs is just half of the equation don't bother using them but Tribulus has been around forever and it and it doesn't go away and that's because some people get something from.
[01:10:22] So it you know it candle again, it can't be an international conspiracy including some people who are buying it. You know what I mean? He just can't.
[01:10:32] Coach Rob Regish: [01:10:32] Interestingly enough. I talked before about muscle damage when they use this product the full spectrum when I just described. They measured they measured CK levels, okay?
[01:10:45] people that weren't getting trim at a CK of. Those that were using it clocked in at just 1,500. That's a big difference. That's a [01:11:00] 1200 Point difference in a rise in muscle damage.
[01:11:04] Carl Lanore: [01:11:04] What kind of dosing do you need of of Tribulus product? Assuming that it has these major components in it
[01:11:12] Coach Rob Regish: [01:11:12] most most studies that are used the dose of anywhere between 750 milligrams a day.
[01:11:18] And 1,500 milligrams being the upper dose.
[01:11:21] Carl Lanore: [01:11:21] Does it matter when you take it and whether you take it with food?
[01:11:24] Coach Rob Regish: [01:11:24] It doesn't seem to now know it's its effects are not. Noticeably different weather taken solo on an empty stomach with food, etc. Etc.
[01:11:36] Carl Lanore: [01:11:36] Do you think it's so it sounds to me aside from its purported testosterone boosting effects.
[01:11:43] It has it has a plethora of other benefits so that guys like me who are on HRT and getting testosterone exogenously could still benefit from Tribulus.
[01:11:54] Coach Rob Regish: [01:11:54] Yeah. Well, that's the question I ask myself right? I'm on HRT to. And I'm [01:12:00] thinking what's the use in taking Tribulus that then I thought wait a minute the established benefits are not a boost in testosterone level.
[01:12:08] There are all these other benefits from
[01:12:10] Carl Lanore: [01:12:10] it because the reality is. the one thing that people have always challenged and some studies show it. And some studies studies show. It does is the testosterone boosting effects, but these other effects nobody's ever challenge. It's like oh, yeah, it does that but it just doesn't raise testosterone.
[01:12:29] Coach Rob Regish: [01:12:29] Yeah and look, you know before he discount something. Consider the fact as you pointed out. It's been on the market for 25 years people keep buying it for a reason.
[01:12:42] Carl Lanore: [01:12:42] I must be getting something. They have to be getting something from the have to feel something. I really do think the stimulation of the vesicle.
[01:12:49] The seminal vesicles is what improves libido for a lot of guys. So they feel like wow, my libido is hired. It's got to be raising testosterone. Oh, it's doing something else but the idea that it [01:13:00] protects against too much muscle damage and the fact that. Actually a form of lexo. Jenin, right? I mean so now we're talking about mitochondrial efficiency and oxygen consumption and talk about all these other benefits that we just talked about a little while ago when we're talking about XD stare own from Tribulus.
[01:13:19] Coach Rob Regish: [01:13:19] Yeah, and you know you that's a perfect segue into this final point, and I'm like I have always noticed. A very discernible effect from a combination Tribulus at the product and you know, the science is starting to catch up now and explain as to why you're not going to put muscle on like the ball, but it is a noticeable benefit you can you just get very quantifiable.
[01:13:50] You know results the results and and you can't say that about a lot of products and you can't, you know, a lot of natural products. Are you take it? [01:14:00] You're like well, I
[01:14:00] Carl Lanore: [01:14:00] mean you hope you take it and you hope right? I hope it's worth it.
[01:14:04] Coach Rob Regish: [01:14:04] This stuff is different, you know, you take it and you're like, whoa,
[01:14:07] Carl Lanore: [01:14:07] what's up?
[01:14:08] So so it really women would benefit from Tribulus. If you're if you're discounting the testosterone boosting effect, then the reality is women could take Tribulus to because of all these other benefits.
[01:14:20] Coach Rob Regish: [01:14:20] John sells a lot of adaptation and which is almost like I described 1500 milligrams trip a lot of his customers way more than you would expect on that product.
[01:14:32] Our women are women and and a fair number of them by centage into
[01:14:38] Carl Lanore: [01:14:38] so is adaptogen and exclusively Tribulus, or is it a combination of Tribulus in other things?
[01:14:43] Coach Rob Regish: [01:14:43] No, it's a combination of it's trimmed. It's a little bit of Yuri coma longifolia. There's a very high quality 25 to 1 extract of Summa in there, which is the Tribulus XD combo that I spoke of earlier and [01:15:00] it's a smidgen of DHEA and melatonin.
[01:15:02] It's a great
[01:15:03] Carl Lanore: [01:15:03] way. When were you going to take it out to you got to take it at night when you go to sleep?
[01:15:07] Coach Rob Regish: [01:15:07] Yeah, and and some people like that some people don't but it's it lends itself. In that products key case so compliance because it's very simple you take two to three calf you for bed. And that's it and most people sleep better and they notice the benefit in the gym.
[01:15:27] So, you know, whether its Standalone Tribulus or those other two products that I mentioned or combo product. I tell you high-quality trip is worth.
[01:15:37] Carl Lanore: [01:15:37] Bill Bill Shields is asking what's the name of the product? I just texted John at the basket. The product is called adaptogen n Ada PTO GE n and the letter n and you can get it at bodybuilding supplements.com.
[01:15:52] Is that that his website?
[01:15:54] Coach Rob Regish: [01:15:54] Yeah, and in the end is for nighttime the other two again RV moab's [01:16:00] Tribulus and. Sport so far my tribest. Mm.
[01:16:05] Carl Lanore: [01:16:05] Yeah, but just but just get the adaptogen end because it's got its got its got the the Tribulus. It's got the ACT each their own. It's got a little melatonin how much Melatonin is in a do, you know
[01:16:17] Coach Rob Regish: [01:16:17] one milligram per capsule three milligrams?
[01:16:19] I'm a
[01:16:20] Carl Lanore: [01:16:20] yeah, so I take 9 milligrams in Beltone every night so I can take three of those plus six milligrams milligrams of melatonin. I'm home with it.
[01:16:27] Coach Rob Regish: [01:16:27] Yeah
[01:16:27] Carl Lanore: [01:16:27] bill. It's called adaptogen and go to bodybuilding supplements.com. That's his website, right?
[01:16:34] Coach Rob Regish: [01:16:34] Yeah, let's just and this has been true for a decade his top seller.
[01:16:39] Carl Lanore: [01:16:39] I'm going to I'm going to take it with on I'm on trt. I'm right now I'm on 500 milligrams a week. I backed down from my my gram is that I'm trying to be sensible. But yeah, I'm going to take it look because I don't I'm not going to take it because of its ability to raise testosterone. I'm going to take it for all the benefits from XD stare own and Tribulus that have [01:17:00] nothing to do with testosterone.
[01:17:01] So absolutely I'm going to take it with Mighty arching and I already take DHEA. Yeah, it's got DHEA in it. I wonder how much the I'm gonna have to look at that. I'm a little wary of taking DHE at night.
[01:17:15] Coach Rob Regish: [01:17:15] It sits in there in just a smidgen. It's not a is not a hammerhead dose. Yeah, so when I find out I think it's 25 milligrams of cap.
[01:17:26] But listen some people like combo products like that other people want stand-alones and I'll give you options for all none of them are my product.
[01:17:35] Carl Lanore: [01:17:35] He he he goes. Okay trt like it. Okay. I'll take it on trt. Yes. Yeah. What the hell man? Make a party out of it. There you go. Alright, so that's it.
