[00:00:00] Carl Lanore: [00:00:00] Welcome back to another episode of super human radio. Today is Tuesday. We have the blueprint pow hour starting shortly with my cohost coach Rob ruggish. Today is February 18th, 2020. Uh, and, uh, we have to thank our title sponsor legendary foods makers of the unbelievably delicious. Tasty pastry, which is a, it looks like a pop tart, but tastes better than a pop tart has nine grams of protein, high quality protein, and uh, also less than one gram of sugar.

[00:00:33] You can go to eat legendary.com to learn more about them. If you go to super human radio.net and click one of the, uh, tasty pastry banner ads, uh, you will be transported to a page to get on a list. And they are actually shipping first come first serve because the demand is overwhelming.

[00:00:53] Coach Rob Regish: [00:00:53] So if

[00:00:53] Carl Lanore: [00:00:53] you want more, like I do, I just ran out.

[00:00:57] I had to get on the list. I'm no different than [00:01:00] any of you, and without further delay, Rob calling all

[00:01:05] Coach Rob Regish: [00:01:05] blueprint army fall in line. It's time for the blueprint power hour with coach Rodriguez on the superhuman radio network.

[00:01:17] Carl Lanore: [00:01:17] How are you doing, Rob?

[00:01:18] Coach Rob Regish: [00:01:18] I am doing great. My wife likewise is doing well. Want to thank all the well-wishers there.

[00:01:26] And, uh, before I forget, I want to give a shout out to my grandfather, uh, who would have been a hundred today. He left us back in 2015, punched out at 95, but, uh, I'll be visiting cemetery after the show, just to wish him a happy birthday.

[00:01:42] Carl Lanore: [00:01:42] Very nice.

[00:01:43] Coach Rob Regish: [00:01:43] Very, very nice. Yeah.

[00:01:45] Carl Lanore: [00:01:45] Uh, what's going on at  dot com? Anything we should know about?

[00:01:49] Coach Rob Regish: [00:01:49] Yeah. Well, the biggest thing is that Cynthia, Jim. The mother load, so to speak, is finally in stock and shipped. So if [00:02:00] you haven't already received yours, uh, you will be receiving it shortly. It was a long wait four months. Uh, but we should be good for the better part of a year. Provided there are no, you know, massive orders of case loads and case loads, which.

[00:02:18] We hope that, uh, but the good news is we're in much better position today than we were at any time in the past four months. Very, very good.

[00:02:27] Carl Lanore: [00:02:27] So, uh, the first question comes from Andrew Bates. He says, what's your opinion on non, no, that's not the first question. I'm so sorry. I, uh, looking in the wrong place.

[00:02:39] The first question I knew right away, I was like, that's not right. Harrison Hirsch. Where do you come down on training to feel the burn? I've always thought, I'm sorry. I've, I've always thought I can't get this damn window to close. I always do well training faster versus slower and like short rest periods between [00:03:00] sets.

[00:03:00] Something on the order of 30 seconds to a minute. Am I imagining things or does this work

[00:03:07] Coach Rob Regish: [00:03:07] too? Well, I wouldn't say he's imagining things. Um, muscle certainly can and will grow when exposed to lighter loading. Uh, also, I'll call it a shorter restaurant or bowls and more volume, and you know, there's a total tonnage component to it.

[00:03:25] That works, uh, in people's favor if they know how to, how to work it. It is important though, to understand why you grow from that sort of training. And there are a couple of different reasons. When you work fast between sets, which is to say anything less than three minutes is no, it's known as incomplete recovery.

[00:03:46] Uh, meaning the muscle does not fully recover. And replenish its primary energy source, which as we know is ATP or a dentist seen triphosphate ATP depletion in turn [00:04:00] signals the body that more is needed. And when you rest between workouts, the body will replenish not just what was used, but also, um, add more.

[00:04:13] Right? If it encounters that. Uh, stress in the future. Now that isn't all that's going on because when you work quickly between sets, high blood lactate levels almost always result in higher growth hormone levels, higher IGF one levels, IGF, two mechanic growth factor, et cetera, et cetera. There is also some evidence that something called heat shock proteins are involved in that process.

[00:04:43] That science is not as well established, but it's very interesting reading if you're interested in going that route. The bottom line is, is that muscle will grow due to substrate depletion working fast in between sets [00:05:00] followed by super stocking of such. There's a, there's a couple of caveats though. One is it only works if you, if you take actually take enough time.

[00:05:11] In between workouts and in all candor, it seems to work best when carbohydrates in the diet meet a threshold level of about 300 grams a day. That really shouldn't be a surprise because glycogen, which is the stored form of carbohydrate in muscle, also pulls in almost three grams to water right with it.

[00:05:34] So I would tell you that. That stimulus works to grow muscle. Um, it is referred to is, uh, not my AFib, EULAR, but sarcoplasmic hypertrophy. I would also tell you that if you're looking to do that, try to ensure that the duration of your sets last anywhere from 45 to 60 seconds. And that is important [00:06:00] because most hypertrophy models show that.

[00:06:04] That time, that amount of time under tension correlates strongly with muscle growth. The type of training that I do is mostly power. Most of the, most of the sets I see in the gym last 30 seconds or less. Uh, and that's a valid method as well. Combining both of them though, was probably your best bet. So I hope that helps.

[00:06:31] Carl Lanore: [00:06:31] you said something that's very true. Just about everything. Build strength and muscle. Even if you train with lightweights, you can't help but get stronger. People just need to put the effort in and be consistent. The next question comes from Seamus, man, there's an Irish name. If I've ever heard when, although Mick met the way he spelled it, it could be Scottish.

[00:06:49] Actually. Uh, I finally got my strength agenda, my Cynthia J, sorry, Freud, Ian slip. Uh, I finally got my synth, the gym I ordered some time [00:07:00] ago, the directions on the bottle to say to something about taking it with tart cherry juice, but this is the first time I've ever heard about that. Uh, do I have to take it with cherry juice?

[00:07:13] Coach Rob Regish: [00:07:13] Well. Um, it's a good, it's a good question. Uh, there's a whole, there are a lot of people that are getting their synth agenda that maybe haven't used it in a while, and there are a fair number of people brand new to  that are getting the product. So I'll review some of the dosing stuff. The short answer is no.

[00:07:32] There is no need to consume Cynthia gin with tart cherry juice or anything else for that matter. For Cynthia, Jen to work optimally and basically wipe out any sense of soreness or the muscle being worked. Um, in the days that follow, here's, here's the backstory. So way back when, when I originally formulated it, we considered adding tart cherry to the formula.

[00:07:58] The problem was. [00:08:00] There were already 16 different ingredients and it was an extremely expensive product to manufacture. Tart cherry on top of that would have just put it out of range for folks. So for many reasons, um, we decided not to include it. So basically in my line of thinking was if consumers really wanted to, right, they could take tart cherry with it separately.

[00:08:27] That was Cynthia gen one the fact of the matter is Cynthia, gen X two which is the current version up to the bar so much that no amount of tart cherry juice that you can drink is going to add much to Cynthia Jen's effects. We did w the the problem is we have, we had so many labels, parental printed way back when

[00:08:51] Mention of tart cherry, you know, those directions just stuck. So at some point there'll be revised, um, but [00:09:00] expect, expect to see the same label for a little while, as for consuming it, uh, with a pre-workout, which is another question I get a lot. It depends. The general rule of thumb is this. If your pre-workout contains any amino acids, don't take it with sympathy.

[00:09:18] Hmm. The fact is additional branch chain aminos, uh, N O two aminos like arginine and citrulline and others will skew the ratio of  essential aminos and it messes with its effect. For some reason, I don't know why, but for some reason, additional BCAs really screw it up. Hmm. Um, so I would stay far away from those.

[00:09:45] They're not necessary. BCA A's are a component of the EA. Right. So there are three, Lucy, my solution and Valin, they're already in there. You don't need any,

[00:09:56] Carl Lanore: [00:09:56] any, and, and they are naturally occurring. [00:10:00] In ratios that we know. So you know the whole idea by some of these guys, and well, let's double the leucine.

[00:10:07] You know, nature doesn't do it that way. The body doesn't necessarily work the way you want it to.

[00:10:14] Coach Rob Regish: [00:10:14] Right. And I want to say there are studies that looked at, you know, eight to one to one leucine to ice, to leucine, the valleys. And they were very clear. They, it, they did not work nearly as well as the ratios that are found in nature.

[00:10:31] So, um, no additional amino acids are necessary. If, on the other hand, your pre-workout contains just stimulants, then you're good to go. You know, there's no arm and adding stimulus things. Cynthia chin pairs exceptionally well with training protocols. However, like I just discussed, right? So we just talked about, uh, incomplete recovery models between sets.

[00:11:00] [00:11:00] Those are predicated, again, on depleting muscle cells, the muscle cell of ATP, of glycogen, et cetera, et cetera. And then this period of super compensation occurs. Cynthia gin is all about. Putting back, and this isn't a big part of the reason why it excels at wound healing and why you don't feel beat up the next day after training.

[00:11:24] Okay. The, the super compensation process is amplified many times over because it puts back, you will have much greater levels of ATP, much greater levels of ribosome, and the one that's really overlooked nucleotide pools. Especially if you're on a caloric deficit and why is that? Old diets ultimately fail with time.

[00:11:50] They become catabolic. It's just a matter of time. The way you extend the duration of a productive diet [00:12:00] is to ensure that cellular energy stays up. Once it falls down, or you know, once it falls below a certain threshold, that's when you have catabolism. At the end of the day, even on harsh extended diets.

[00:12:17] If you're using synth Jen along with it, you're going to find your performance in the weight room doesn't suffer nearly as much and you guys have been on, you know, really hard cuts before low calories or low carbs. You know exactly what I'm talking about. You might be able to do justice to your first set, maybe even your second, but by the time of third, fourth and fifth rolls around, you are done.

[00:12:40] I mean, the energy just doesn't, they're not so with Cynthia. So, um, otherwise the stock dosing advice is, uh, to, to simplify this for people. Take 10 immediately before your workout if it happens to be a leg or a back workout, take an additional five [00:13:00] afterwards and from there, subtract one cap every workout until such time as you establish your lowest.

[00:13:09] The effective dose. It just makes sense physiologically and financially off days. A total of nine caps taken with food, uh, is best. I used to say, you know, three with breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but the reality is a lot of people around, you know, intermittent fasting and the reading one to two meals a day, just take it with your food.

[00:13:31] You know, you're going to be good to go if you happen to order a twin pack. Um, you can use the second bottle on training days only. That'll really stretch your supply. You know, assuming you're training three days a week, that's a what that bottle will last you six, seven weeks, something to that effect. I train twice a week.

[00:13:52] It's, it lasts me nine weeks. So loaded with the first one, training days only with the second one. It'll stretch your [00:14:00] supply and, uh, and uh, save you some money.

[00:14:04] Carl Lanore: [00:14:04] There you go. Andrew Bates says, what's your opinion of the non-hormonal anabolics on the market today? I have my eye on one Titan and another ingredient called a reboot.

[00:14:19] Tra japonica isn't japonica what kind of plant is japonica? I'm trying to think what that is. That's, that's a common genus in the plant world. Go ahead, you talk. I'm going to look it up real quick.

[00:14:31] Coach Rob Regish: [00:14:31] Well, let's start with Titan. Um, which by label contains 50 milligrams with tomato dine, and then 200 milligrams of Sheila chip

[00:14:42] Carl Lanore: [00:14:42] with tomato dine come from tomato, right?

[00:14:45] Coach Rob Regish: [00:14:45] Yes. Actually, I think it's green tomatoes. Okay. There's quite a story on that, but. 50 milligrams of tomato dine and 200 of Sheila JIP, which for those that remember Russian mummy or [00:15:00] moomiyo was pronounced. She legit is an Indian cousin. It's not a bad compound, but you know, we'll see why it's in the formula here in a second.

[00:15:11] Tomato diet does have some interesting research behind it, but like many things that look good in the literature. Thus far, it's fallen flat in the real world. And the big problem with Titan is this. It's the dose studies on tomato dine use the human equivalent dose of 500 milligrams a day, not 5,500 and so when I inquired with the makers of Titan about this, they conceded the fact that it was dosed at one 10th of the study.

[00:15:46] Right. I'm out. Uh, but then they said, Hey, Sheila, legit, you know, that that should improve absorption. It might, but I don't think it improves it that much. Now, it is [00:16:00] true that she legit can improve the bioavailability of a wide range of substances given, uh, it's fulvic acid content and it's a pretty solid adaptogens.

[00:16:12] All all on its lonesome, but as far as getting results from that particular product, in my opinion, you're wasting your money. If you look at the studies, it's anabolic properties are underwhelming. Where it may have some benefits, is acting as an anti catabolic during a severe diet or an illness. Even then, I wouldn't bank on too much now this Arab ultra japonica stuff.

[00:16:41] Some of its chemical constituents are things that might be familiar to people in the supplement market. Things like epi, catechin, ursolic acid, tore medic acid, like your calcium, those sorts of things. And studies indicate that it can activate, [00:17:00] let's say the AK T M Tor motor pathway. Subsequently promoting protein synthesis, yada, yada, yada.

[00:17:08] The problem is a lot of things activate mTOR training alone activates M Tor strongly, uh, overfeeding activates M Tor

[00:17:20] Carl Lanore: [00:17:20] or I just found out because I was copied on an email between dr stray Gundersen and one of our listeners that wearing your, your, uh, be strong. BFR bands and jumping rope activates M Tor in your legs.

[00:17:35] Coach Rob Regish: [00:17:35] I don't doubt it. So, and it's free. So, so look, a lot of things activate M Tor, you know, as far as epi, CATA, Canada, ursolic acid, I find the evidence for linked these things being anabolic, weak or ursolic acid or no, let me start with MP again. Epi catechin is supposedly able to bind a milestone. [00:18:00] But no supplement that I'm aware of does so with enough.

[00:18:07] Right, right. For people to see results.

[00:18:10] Carl Lanore: [00:18:10] In fact, I did the show that destroyed all wishes of what myostatin and inhibition would do probably eight years ago with the scientists from the state university of New York. Uh, and they actually took rodents, mature rodents, cause let's face it. We know what happens if you're a  stat, null embryo forming into a human being.

[00:18:28] But what we want is we want to come in at 30 years old and we want myostatin to work. So you have to look at mature muscle, very, very different. Uh, S, uh, situation. What they found out was that. First of all, there was no added protein synthesis until you suppressed myostatin frat, at least 90% of myostatin.

[00:18:50] The real magic happened above 95% that's where the muscles really grew, and as soon as you remove the inhibition. Muscle tissue, [00:19:00] we're back to where it was before. So I think that we're really chasing, uh, you know, a unicorn here with the idea that we can selectively and independently, uh, modify myostatin and then, uh, add muscle to the body.

[00:19:15] I mean, you can, if you're willing to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on, there's a new, there's a new, um. I just posted it on Facebook. There's a new, um, fun guy that they've found that will actually bond to myostatin and, and, uh, and disable it. Uh, and it actually has the ability to produce permanent effects because it can actually change the DNA.

[00:19:38] But what's going to happen in that case is we also see that when muscle gets big from myostatin inhibition, it doesn't get stronger. And soft tissue gets weaker. So that means you're going to be snapping tendons and ligaments and so on and so forth. So we have to stop chasing myostatin as an independent, uh, supplement, if you [00:20:00] will.

[00:20:00] Inhibition.

[00:20:02] Coach Rob Regish: [00:20:02] I would agree. I would agree. Um, which leaves ursolic acid as a compound. It's an interesting compound, but the reality is it suffers from horrible bioavailability. Now. I, I do think it has some potential in being able to reduce levels of creatine kinase, which of course I would be interested in because it's pathological muscle damage.

[00:20:28] Although I will tell you from using both compounds that tribulus far and away lowered creatine kinase levels much better than her solar acid. So that's something to think about. Interestingly enough. Some of the emerging research that I saw just the other day, um, has to do with certain compounds in citrus fruits that may be Cortland, quote, natural anabolics.

[00:20:57] Now that may be where things [00:21:00] are headed next. We don't know. Yeah. You know, who knows how. Oh, struck on, they are how commercially viable they are.

[00:21:08] Carl Lanore: [00:21:08] All these people looking for fast tracks to muscle gains, refuse to eat 300 to 400 grams of protein a day in and of itself would get you what you want the supplement to do.

[00:21:20] Coach Rob Regish: [00:21:20] Right? Right. Or 4,000 calories a day or whatever. Um, so, so really the bottom line is, and what you're asking about, there's a lot of smoke here, but, but no fire. No fire training. Progressively eating big and sleeping more will yield better results every time versus virtually any non hormonal anabolic that you can name.

[00:21:45] Just the truth.

[00:21:46] Carl Lanore: [00:21:46] Mike bear has two questions. We're going to try to hit them both at one time here. So the first one is. Uh, he said, you know, I'm always learning about nutrition and exercise supplements. Can you explain exactly how important it is to make sure the [00:22:00] oxygen and nutrients get to those muscle fibers?

[00:22:03] So this is kind of a loaded question because unless you have some sort of irregular vascular response, like a vascular disorder, it, it is getting to the muscle fiber. So I don't know if you're talking about something specific. Uh, in the way of, uh, you know, some sort of challenge someone has happened to having, what do you think, Rob?

[00:22:27] Coach Rob Regish: [00:22:27] Well, the only thing I would tell you is after a period of gaining, let's say five, 10, 15 pounds of muscle, you know, you need to have the blood supply to that, to bring it nutrients right from your diet. You need to have, um. You need to have a nervous system to talk to it, you know, to keep it on you. So that's just a long way of saying, you know, make sure you're working your heart and lungs and you're regulating your training.

[00:22:57] Um, one rep max percentage [00:23:00] appropriately because when either one of those things go out the window. You can just goodbye your five, 10, 15 pounds, a new muscle.

[00:23:08] Carl Lanore: [00:23:08] Yeah. But I would offer, you wouldn't gain five, 10, 15 pounds a new muscle if the vasculature and and nervous system wasn't there. First. It's like building a subdivision, right?

[00:23:17] You build, you build the sewers first, you build the streets second, then you start building the homes and muscle is built the same way. Uh. Vascular endothelial growth factors, pre-seed, any real protein, synthetic response and fibroblasts growth factors precede any protein synthetic response. So you have the plumbing and the electrical system being put in first and that, and then if you're gaining muscle, then you're getting oxygen and nutrients to those muscle.

[00:23:47] But. We've seen instances where professional bodybuilders have one lat that won't grow, and then we find out that they have a, a, a damaged nerve to the muscle. They're not activating the muscle completely. There you have it, [00:24:00] nutrients, oxygen, everything is not getting to that muscle. So you have one muscle that looks like it belongs on a different person's body.

[00:24:07] So I would submit that if you're gaining muscle, then those things are happening and you don't have to worry about them. But here's a really interesting question. I'm going to let you answer Rob. Yup. He says he started working his back much more this year. Is it normal to have back pain?

[00:24:25] Coach Rob Regish: [00:24:25] Well, no, it's not normal.

[00:24:27] Um, and I'm assuming he's talking about lower back, logical, bad pain versus just normal muscles orders. Um, one of the things that you need to be cognizant of is, especially the, with the lower back. The lower back muscles, like far take the longest to recover, right? Um, from those workouts, I'm the order of 100 or sometimes more hours.

[00:24:53] The back is also an enormous muscle group, and as such, you need to [00:25:00] properly regulate training frequency. Now, um. I don't know what exercises he's using. I don't know how much volume is using, but I would suspect it might be too much too soon. The back

[00:25:16] Carl Lanore: [00:25:16] cohort, I'd also, I would offer a form. Go ahead

[00:25:19] Coach Rob Regish: [00:25:19] for him.

[00:25:20] Okay. I was just gonna say, you know, getting the back to grow is a lot like getting the legs to grow. You can't do it with a sledge hammer. It needs to be, they need to be coaxed. That's the best way I can put it to you. You know, if you try to sledgehammer your way through both of those muscle groups, you will burn your central nervous system out faster than you can.

[00:25:43] Right? Shake a stick at it. So I would just tell you, build up training, total tonnages poundage, however you want to say it in a. A measured fashion as opposed to going for all the Gusto off the top.

[00:25:59] Carl Lanore: [00:25:59] Yeah. [00:26:00] And have someone go over your form with you, Mike. You know, somebody that you trust their opinion, get someone so, so get someone to video your back workout.

[00:26:07] Not every set, every rep, but I would prefer seeing your first set and your last set to see how. Your form is suffering and where you may be going wrong and actually causing really injury. There's no other way to call it anything, but what it is and that if you are having, if your lower back is killing you, all of a sudden then you're doing something wrong.

[00:26:29] Coach Rob Regish: [00:26:29] You're doing something wrong. And you know, I'm glad you brought that up because, um, my friend's son was begging me to teach him how to deadlift. And I told him, I might kick you out of trap bar dead lift, but here's the deal. For every deadlift day movement rep set that we do, we are going to do a movement that restores right the back and that being, for example, um, bridging or reverse hypers [00:27:00] something that's therapeutic to the, to the back as opposed to takes away as good as the movement it is non talking about the trap bar, there is still vertical compression of the spine.

[00:27:14] You need to understand and incorporate movements that put back, as I call it. Um, and, and if you think about it, bridging, bending backwards, it's a very safe way to train the spine because the vertebrae close around the desk as opposed to when you bend over and pick something up. The vertebrae open, exposing the disc to injury.

[00:27:41] So think about that. Next time after you're done doing XYZ back movements, make sure you're doing things to restore the back as well.

[00:27:50] Carl Lanore: [00:27:50] What we're going to take a quick commercial break when we come back, we've got lots of more questions. Feel free to put your questions here on Facebook and we will work them into today's show.

Before teen years, you've heard me talk about Kancey eyedrops and they being the reason that I do not need reading glasses at now, 61 years old. But I regularly get emails and messages from people who've been using Kanzi and having some amazing results.

[00:31:42] Recently I got an email from a fellow named Chad who, because he was on dexamethazone eyedrops for over six months, developed a cataract, can see eye drops actually reduced my cataract to the point where. Even my doctor has a hard time finding it. I will never stop using Kanzi eye drops twice a day. I've been using them since [00:32:00] 2008 he says, and you should be too.

[00:32:02] There is no better way to keep your eyes healthy and seeing clearly than can see eyedrops go to wise choice medicine.com today and get on board and we will both be looking into the future with very clear vision. Do you remember those? Delicious. Your pastries you had when you were a kid, you know the rectangular sugar filled snacks.

They have three to four net carbs, less than one gram of sugar at nine grams of protein. You can eat them right out of the wrapper. Or lightly toasted. The only question is which flavor?

[00:32:46] Coach Rob Regish: [00:32:46] This is the superhuman channel where we use oxygen for the power of good

[00:32:57] Carl Lanore: [00:32:57] Welcome back to the blueprint power [00:33:00] hour.

[00:33:02] Coach Rob Regish: [00:33:02] So

[00:33:02] Carl Lanore: [00:33:02] our next question.

[00:33:07] Coach Rob Regish: [00:33:07] We did Andrew. So the custody, this one, Michael Demers,

[00:33:11] Carl Lanore: [00:33:11] he says, uh, is there any chance new pro hormones will be on the market again? Yeah, but they'll take them right off. Is there anything out there today that you would recommend? I'd really like. I like Winstrol anything like that I can buy legally.

[00:33:30] Coach Rob Regish: [00:33:30] Yeah.

[00:33:30] I had to really research this one because frankly, pro hormones have an interest in me for a long time, but if you dig deep in the literature, you will find evidence of all kinds of weird anabolics that were, that were studied but never brought to market. And in fact, most of those like methyl one testosterone, um, et cetera, et cetera.

[00:33:57] That's what they were. I mean, they were drugs [00:34:00] that were studied by pharmaceutical companies back in the day, but were never brought to market. And so, however, uh, in 1960, Chiba started marketing Diana Ball right on questionably the most popular oral anabolic. And in the years following, it turns out cheapest studied another anabolic.

[00:34:26] About which hardly anything is known. I had known, I had never heard of it up until reading about it. When I was researching that steroid was known only as 36 six 44 BA and the studies on its biological activity are complex. So meaning test animals not only received that compound, but they also got a corticosteroid along with it.

[00:34:55] So when the handful of these studies, CIPA showed that it can [00:35:00] maintain protein synthesis

[00:35:02] Carl Lanore: [00:35:02] even in the face of a, of an atom. A, a catabolic hormone.

[00:35:08] Coach Rob Regish: [00:35:08] Exactly. Wow. Exactly. Yeah. Yep. And, uh, one of those studies, which was done and published in 1968, can be founded its entirety on pub med. Um, and it's a really interesting read and it w what's, what it speaks to is this, it's mentioned that in animals that this particular steroid had greater anabolic activity than stand on this little wall, which is right trade name Winstrol.

[00:35:38] Um, again, as measured by its effects on muscle ribosome activity proteins. It does make you wonder. How anabolic this stuff would be, if not co administered with a, with a corticosteroid. Right. Logically, I [00:36:00] would think it's going to be crazy strong. Um, unfortunately, the most recent reference to that compound was in 2009 and in that year, Australian doping hunters mentioned it in the chapter on designer steroids.

[00:36:16] In. Somebody, something called the doping in sports collection. Um, biochemical principles, effects in analysis. What this says is that this compounds metabolites eventually convert right back into the parent compound, which means it recycles itself. It recycles itself, but it's PI easy to spot on the drug screen.

[00:36:43] Carl Lanore: [00:36:43] Yeah. But for those who don't care, what's it called again?

[00:36:46] Coach Rob Regish: [00:36:46] Uh, it's only identified as three 66, 44, BA

[00:36:52] Carl Lanore: [00:36:52] all one number three, six, six, four, four V like victory, a, like Apple,

[00:36:58] Coach Rob Regish: [00:36:58] B as in boy, a as in [00:37:00] Apple. Yeah. So, um, I would imagine even if this stuff did hit the market, it would probably be removed pretty quickly under the catch all warding in the 2014, I think it is designer anabolic steroid control act, uh, which basically says anything that looks like testosterone.

[00:37:24] Walks like testosterone, uh, might as well be testosterone weakened yet yet, um, without any further issue. So no, uh, no pro hormone to withdraw that I'm aware of. But that one I found really interesting, intriguing,

[00:37:42] Carl Lanore: [00:37:42] and there's an article about it on an ergo log.

[00:37:46] Coach Rob Regish: [00:37:46] Is there, is that recent?

[00:37:49] Carl Lanore: [00:37:49] I don't know. I don't know where the dates are.

[00:37:52] Well, we had to look for them. But yeah, it's a, they have a picture of a male rat and they have it compared to some [00:38:00] other anabolic steroids. Yeah. Oh, cool. So maybe someone will grab the ball and run with it here and come out with it

[00:38:09] Coach Rob Regish: [00:38:09] and hitting him,

[00:38:11] Carl Lanore: [00:38:11] but you know what, like you said, they'll literally write it in like, and it'll be illegal the day that they actually hit the market.

[00:38:19] Coach Rob Regish: [00:38:19] Yup. I mean, it's, it's, it's a sad situation, but they have basically sewn up most of the loopholes.

[00:38:27] Carl Lanore: [00:38:27] So Paul Reynolds says, like, you, I go back a long ways with supplements. In your opinion, was there ever a safe prohormone? If so, which one? And is there any chance someone is selling it somewhere?

[00:38:41] Coach Rob Regish: [00:38:41] Well, again, right?

[00:38:43] Pro hormone question. Um. But this one has an interesting slant to it. The best and safest pro hormonal, in my opinion, was for Anderson dial and I, I'm of the opinion though, that [00:39:00] for Andrew dial was not just a pro hormone. I, I believe it was intrinsically active.

[00:39:05] Carl Lanore: [00:39:05] Yeah. And that's been shown in studies. Okay.

[00:39:08] It's anabolic in its own form before it even converts to any other androgen.

[00:39:14] Coach Rob Regish: [00:39:14] Right? So no conversion necessary. You, let's see. How do I describe this? You felt great on four dial. Um, I suspect in part because it exists naturally in abundance in your body. The only problem with four dial, at least when it first came out, was bioavailability.

[00:39:35] So orally, you needed at least 300 milligrams at a whack. Right for it to overcome the liver and then a decent amount of it and enough get to the muscles, et cetera.

[00:39:47] Carl Lanore: [00:39:47] Two and a half to 5% maximum. So theoretically for every hundred milligrams, you actually absorbed two and a half milligrams.

[00:39:56] Coach Rob Regish: [00:39:56] Yeah, it's, it was very inefficient orally,

[00:40:00] [00:39:59] Carl Lanore: [00:39:59] but we don't know what stress that puts on the liver.

[00:40:03] By the way,

[00:40:04] Coach Rob Regish: [00:40:04] even though

[00:40:06] Carl Lanore: [00:40:06] you have to clean that out and get it out of the bloodstream. So it's an interesting idea too.

[00:40:13] Coach Rob Regish: [00:40:13] So, so the first major breakthrough though, came when somebody put it into a transdermal and the sustained release over, you know, 12 to 24 hours. That was a big step up. And you could feel that, like I spoke before about the feelgood factor.

[00:40:31] Big difference using it. Transdermally

[00:40:33] Carl Lanore: [00:40:33] I used to, when I used to rub it on and it will flow gel. I used to get this sensation where I had to catch my breath about five minutes later. You could feel it because don't forget, this is an, this hormone is made in the adrenals too, so it's an adrenal hormone and I can feel it like zing.

[00:40:49] It was different than caffeine or anything else.

[00:40:52] Coach Rob Regish: [00:40:52] Right. And so if we talk about bioavailability, then obviously the ultimate [00:41:00] version, the the absolute best for dial for probably the raw powder for Andrew, for Andrew dial sippy and H. and there was even a finished, there was at least one finished injectable on the market that I can remember.

[00:41:16] You had to use according to the people that used it, you had to use more, you know, little more than than test, milligram for milligram, but it was clean as a whistle. One guy said, picture, you know, test with no water bloat. Now nothing. Um, later, later on, I think towards the very end, before it was banned. A couple of companies married for a D to F O carbonate esters and ethers.

[00:41:50] And so we were back to oral products, but now they're actually working, you know, and they're lasting longer in the body. So those two were, [00:42:00] were effective for those that, you know, and there are a lot of people that didn't want to mess around with the injectable stuff. Um. Which is really a crime after they criminalized it, because in my mind, for Ady, wa was part of the solution.

[00:42:17] It was not part of the problem. Unlike things like methyl one test and super draw, it didn't raise your liver enzymes. It didn't screw with your lipids. Uh, and it was minimally suppressive. I would have loved to have seen a must be 21 to purchase sticker. Some sort of compromise that was made, but, but the government was having none of it.

[00:42:43] Now I know for the record, Pat Arnold, Rick Collins, and a few other people at least try. At least they tried. Unfortunately, unlike the American Cray Thom association, it was too little too late. They were not [00:43:00] as well organized. Uh, an entity they did not have, let's say, boots on the ground, I don't think in Washington, and it got all screwed up.

[00:43:10] So here's the bottom line in painting all pro hormones with this broad brush, which is what the government did, they really screwed this up. We could have had a safe, naturally occurring anabolic, right? That would have worked. But wouldn't it be work been crazy stupid? Like, Hey, we're going to gain, we're all going to gain a pound of muscle a day for 21 days.

[00:43:35] No, that's not what it was. You know? Um, I wish I had better news for you on this front. I really did. But as far as the United States is concerned, that particular compound can no longer be found if there's someone that knows otherwise, I'm all ears. I don't know about the U K um. The UK has [00:44:00] slightly more liberal laws, you know, they're, they, there are a lot of pro hormones available over there.

[00:44:06] I'm just not sure. So sure if  is one of them. So it's worth looking for, let me put it that way

[00:44:13] Carl Lanore: [00:44:13] and save then super droll. Um, there got a question from a viewer, and it's not about muscle building, it's about N-acetylcysteine. And he wants to know your thoughts as it relates to respiratory function and glutathione production.

[00:44:31] Coach Rob Regish: [00:44:31] From my understanding, NaCl assisting is probably the, um, the cheapest way to boost glue to file. You can do it with a well-made whey protein, but those are not cheap, per se, where our annex, it'll cystine is. I have seen dosages everywhere from 500 milligrams a day to 2,500 and likewise, I've heard [00:45:00] stories about, and they settle Sistine, you know, if it stinks like eggs, like most products do, it's not made correctly.

[00:45:08] That's bologna.

[00:45:09] Carl Lanore: [00:45:09] And acetol cystine is a sulfur based. A product so it has to smell like sulfur. Now, if you can seal it away from the air, when you open the bottle, it'll smell less like sulfur, but the longer that bottle is exposed to the air, the more sulfur are going to

[00:45:23] Coach Rob Regish: [00:45:23] smell. Yeah. Every NAC product that I've ever used has had that aroma tube,

[00:45:30] Carl Lanore: [00:45:30] and you want sulfur.

[00:45:31] We don't have enough sulfur in our diets any longer. You want.

[00:45:35] Coach Rob Regish: [00:45:35] It's why things like, um, um, alpha lipoic acid and you know, other things work. But, but he listened. Um, fun, fun fact. You know, you overdose on acetaminophin and go to the ER. The first line of defense is intravenous and a Skittle assisting. That should tell you something, right?

[00:45:55] That should tell you something. So I personally think it's a great [00:46:00] product. Um, I use it, I consider it to be one of the, the. Master antioxidants, I guess, if you will. Uh, I, I've always liked the thought of having it in the mix and look, all I can tell you is I very rarely if ever gets sick and my blood work is spot on my, you know, 99 times out of a hundred.

[00:46:27] Carl Lanore: [00:46:27] I take it every day, 1200 milligrams. I take it in the morning with my first meal. Yup.

[00:46:34] Coach Rob Regish: [00:46:34] Uh,

[00:46:34] Carl Lanore: [00:46:34] it does have, uh, an anti mucosal

[00:46:39] Coach Rob Regish: [00:46:39] effect. So

[00:46:41] Carl Lanore: [00:46:41] they give it to, they give it to people with CLPD because they typically end up with a lot of mucus production and it dries you out. There's no doubt about it. Too much of it will give you cotton mouth.

[00:46:51] That's how much it will dry you out. Uh, I think it's a great supplement and I think there's other benefits to caring for your liver. Um, [00:47:00] so I, I like it a lot.

[00:47:02] Coach Rob Regish: [00:47:02] Yup. Good. Uh,

[00:47:06] Carl Lanore: [00:47:06] what we're gonna do is we're gonna take a quick commercial break. Okay. Hey, well, he says, my brand says to avoid with food. I've never heard that one.

[00:47:18] Coach Rob Regish: [00:47:18] No, me neither.

[00:47:19] Carl Lanore: [00:47:19] Yeah. I mean, why would I want to avoid it with food? Because it's gotta be digested. Well, that's part of how it produces glutathione. It goes through the liver.

[00:47:28] Coach Rob Regish: [00:47:28] Right?

[00:47:29] Carl Lanore: [00:47:29] So I don't, I don't know about that one. I really don't. Um, okay, so we're going to take a quick commercial break and when we come back, we've got lots of more questions.

What would you recommend as the most cost effective home gym set up? I have an opinion about the dumbbells, but go ahead.

[00:52:08] Coach Rob Regish: [00:52:08] Okay, so home gyms are ideal if.

[00:52:13] You're the kind of person, right? That's self motivated and can work out alone and knows how to do that safely and effectively. Now, I've had home gyms, I've trained in the commercial gyms. The stock advice with any home gym set up is right start with a power rack and build out from there. But as your question kind of illustrates, that's not always practical.

[00:52:40] Not not everyone has the room. Maybe not everyone wants a power rack. So given your constraints, you can still build tons of muscle with literally two pieces of equipment. I'm not saying this is ideal, but you can go a long way with it. Those two [00:53:00] pieces of equipment or a CIN dip station and a trap bar. Or a barbell.

[00:53:07] Now, most teenagers, they want a bench, right? What do you bench? What do you bench? Everybody? Benches 300 or more pounds until you make them do it correctly. Then those 300 pounds benches come down to two 50 it's a question that's often heard right around teenage boys especially, and while the bench is a fine lift, it also has its downsides and one of those big downsides, a really big one.

[00:53:35] Is safety. I hate to say it, but it happens almost every year in this country. Some kid or not a kid, older man is found dead in their home, their garage, their basement, wherever. Staples underneath. Yeah.

[00:53:54] Carl Lanore: [00:53:54] Underneath

[00:53:56] Coach Rob Regish: [00:53:56] it. And it's not a particularly nice way to go. [00:54:00] Right. Because you're probably going to be.

[00:54:02] Crushed and maybe even decapitated depended or close to it. Yeah. Not a good way to go. Not a good look. So if you're not benching inside a rack or if you're not using spotters, you are really asking for it. I don't want to hear anything about, well, you know, I got another 50 pounds in me. That might be the case, but you know what?

[00:54:25] Um. Guys tear PEX too, and other things happen where the barbell basically collapses on the real crime here, especially when that happens, is that the way to dip is not just safer, but in my opinion can actually build more muscle. And that given the fact that unlike the bench press, you are moving the weight.

[00:54:53] And your body through space simultaneously. If you're J, even if you're just using body weight. [00:55:00] Now, if you have something like power for blocks or the equivalent, or you're just hanging plates from right from your waist, you know, that's even more true when ever the body and and weights are moving through space simultaneously.

[00:55:17] The central nervous system is at a much higher activation level. You will, you are also recruiting quite a bit more muscle tissue in the dip than you are in the bench press. You're going to get guys that argue that that's just my 2 cents. Okay? It is the same story with the chin up and it's a big reason why chin dip station is such a smart investment.

[00:55:43] The trap bar. It makes deadlifting infinitely safer, you know? And it's far and away, in my opinion, the best muscle builder, given the sheer amount of muscle that it works. Okay. We've been over why? It's certainly, I think, safer [00:56:00] than a straight barbell, but suffice it to say, you buy both those things. Your great grandchildren are going to be using them if you take care of them.

[00:56:10] Now, chin dip station, a word on quality. Don't buy cheap CIN dip stations go for anywhere from between 50 bucks and 500 no, I would suggest at least prying various models, uh, or failing that, buying one with a listed weight capacity and the large footprint. If it's not bolted to the ground, and most of them are going to be, make sure the weight capacity is at least 1.5 if not.

[00:56:43] Twice your body weight. Now I found one with a weight capacity of 330 pounds. Just a quick Google search. That's what I found for under a hundred bucks. That was both the chin station and the dip.

[00:56:56] Carl Lanore: [00:56:56] And it takes a very small footprint in your room.

[00:57:00] [00:56:59] Coach Rob Regish: [00:56:59] Exactly.

[00:57:00] Carl Lanore: [00:57:00] Standard place that you can stand it in the corner facing the wall.

[00:57:03] Yep. Cause you don't need any room for it.

[00:57:06] Coach Rob Regish: [00:57:06] There you go. 89 bucks. Okay. What that means is even at a, at a 1.5 times rating, what that means is a 200 pound person could do dips, right? With an additional 130 pounds, which is working, right? Which is a tremendous feat of strength, right? With the exception being set spanner, if he's listening, he's dipped with 150 or more crazy, crazy strong.

[00:57:34] Now. You can pick up a trap bar that's rated for a thousand pounds for even cheaper. I saw 70 around 70 bucks online. You'll probably get, you know, you're going to pay more for shipping. Obviously these things are heavy, but you know, it's, it's, it's a onetime expense. Throw in some floor mats, any interlocking, you know, foam mats, anywhere from.

[00:58:00] [00:58:00] You know, let's say $10 or so and a 300 pound weight set on sale for 150 bucks or thereabouts. Total cost of your home gym should be in the neighborhood. She'll be in the neighborhood of $320 with shipping. It's probably well under 500

[00:58:15] Carl Lanore: [00:58:15] I would add power block dumbbells. I really would, because they, they, they, they go from five to 50 pounds.

[00:58:21] The basic ones are hand and now you can do so much. A unilateral work and you could do presses with them and not worry about getting stapled to the, to the bench, that's for sure.

[00:58:33] Coach Rob Regish: [00:58:33] Right? And even if you don't have the money for all of that in one shot, right? You just save up over time after, after you get the chin dip station on the trap bar, you start saving for the power blocks.

[00:58:45] Um, you might even find the Olympic weights at, at yard sales for quite a bit cheaper. I've seen them on the side of the road, so, you know, people giving them away. So basically there you have it, you know, building muscle on a [00:59:00] budget. I can absolutely assure you, if you work hard on just getting stronger on just those three lifts, maybe one or two others.

[00:59:10] Um. Plenty of muscle and Mike will follow and lots of it. I would go so far as to say, you know, you will reach your genetic potential and you'll be, you'll actually be much better off. Focusing on just that small and mastering that small handful of compound lifts. Then if you were to walk into any commercial gym with God knows how many isolation machines and other nonsense.

[00:59:37] So,

[00:59:38] Carl Lanore: [00:59:38] and, and I, you know where I stand on the, the, the power block dumbbells, they're valuable. I have, I also have two power block, uh, quick change kettlebells that go up to a 70 pounds per hand. Oh, it. Here's another nice piece of equipment. A jump rope.

[00:59:57] Coach Rob Regish: [00:59:57] Yeah.

[00:59:57] Carl Lanore: [00:59:57] Some of the best car to heal you can do [01:00:00] is jumping rope and look at by the fall it folds up and fits in a drawer, and you can go outside and find yourself a, you know, a four by four foot area and jump rope.

[01:00:12] Coach Rob Regish: [01:00:12] Where can I buy the coordination of jump rope? Yeah.

[01:00:15] Carl Lanore: [01:00:15] Good luck with Allen. So this question came in right before the show today.

[01:00:20] Coach Rob Regish: [01:00:20] Yup.

[01:00:21] Carl Lanore: [01:00:21] It's from Rigo Vargas. He says, what's more indicative of a great workout, a good pump during the workout or being really sore the day after, and I guess he means even a couple of days after.

[01:00:33] Of course, a lot of people don't get sore until two days after the workout, but what do you think? Do you think soreness or or pump is more indicative?

[01:00:39] Coach Rob Regish: [01:00:39] I would argue neither one. And I'll tell you why. I can put you in a burlap bag, beat you with hammers, and you would be real sore the next day. It doesn't mean you're going to grow muscle tissue.

[01:00:52] Both a pump and soreness are, um, let's say subjective ways to measure your [01:01:00] workout. The real way to know whether or not you had a good workout is in the numbers and the numbers. Numbers don't lie. They're very hard concrete objective things. Did you lift more this workout than you did last workout? Good.

[01:01:16] Thank you. Stimulate a muscle growth. You had a good workout. I'm not a fan of subjective measures like that because look, you can have a bad day at work. You can come home, your wife can leave you, you can get divorced, all this stuff. All that's going to carry over into everything from how you look at yourself in the mirror too.

[01:01:39] Well have a pump, you know, how much of a pump that you got. You know, there's some science behind a pump being valuable for growth, but how do you measure a pump? You know, is that on a scale of one to 10 is it, how do you measure how much blood flow floating into your muscle [01:02:00] groups and whether or not those were the target muscle groups?

[01:02:03] I always struggled with that. I didn't think either. One of them was a good measure. I like that.

[01:02:08] Carl Lanore: [01:02:08] I like that because that really does make a lot of sense.

[01:02:12] Coach Rob Regish: [01:02:12] So

[01:02:13] Carl Lanore: [01:02:13] I like things that make sense. All right. We're going to take a last commercial break, and when we come back, we have the blueprint tip of the day, uh, in honor of a Rob's grandfather.

[01:02:22] So stay tuned. We'll be right back with more super human radio. Let me get the music going.

[01:06:41] So the blueprint tip of the day. Thoughts on living to 95 years old. You ask a lot of people in a nursing home right now, you want to live to 95 they're like, no, why would I this, this sucks.

[01:06:54] Coach Rob Regish: [01:06:54] I'm

[01:06:54] Carl Lanore: [01:06:54] stuck in this chair all day long. I don't see my friends anymore. I'm not involved in [01:07:00] life. Hopefully the people in this audience are looking at aging completely differently.

[01:07:06] Coach Rob Regish: [01:07:06] Yeah. So, um. You know, my thoughts. Exactly. My heart was breaking there towards the end, but hopefully this prods people at least to think a little bit about it. So, so at the top of the show today, I mentioned my grandfather, old, old timer. They don't make them like him anymore. Um. He would have been a hundred today, but he lived to 95 and I think we can all agree that's a a good long life, right?

[01:07:36] And something, something to aspire to. But the last two to three years of it were not that rosy. And, and it pained me to see his quality of life deteriorate towards the end. So today I wanted to talk a little bit about grandparents in general, but also. You know, this notion of wanting to live a long time [01:08:00] and, and, but also living well, right?

[01:08:03] So it's something everyone I think needs to plan for. Now. There's a lot that goes into living to age 95 and beyond. Quote unquote genetics, right? What's your body weight is a blood pressure, drinking, smoking, or lack thereof, and, and living defensively are all part of it. If you were to ask me why he lived so long, I would tell you the following things.

[01:08:33] We're primarily responsible. First of all, he was always a very slight man. Never once did he let his weight ever get out of control. Uh, he also never got very excited about stuff. He never got angry. Very rarely did I ever see him get mad. Maybe once or twice. And, and you know, I had my grandparents for 45 years.

[01:08:58] He never smoked. [01:09:00] He never drank. Uh, he was a big Walker right up until, you know, he couldn't walk no more. He always erred on the side of caution in life, and that's something I've inherited from him. Uh, meaning things like, he was never one to be on the road, let's call it new year's Eve. He always wore a seatbelt.

[01:09:24] He drove defensively, that kind of stuff. He laughed a lot, especially when I made him. He was a thing I remember was when he was in the nursing home. I told him. I say, grant, next time I call you and you hear the code word, I want you to wheel yourself down to the patio outside, at which point all appear in the helicopter, lower ladder and spring you from this place.

[01:09:50] He laughed so hard that day. His stomach, his abs hurt the next two. Um, and so he laughed a lot at at [01:10:00] that. In other things, interestingly enough, Gramps also. Took his, took his vitamins and herbal supplements for as far back as I can remember. And this is before I ever became interested, or, you know, first in the subject he would read.

[01:10:18] He was a voracious reader. Um, and. The various things in his pill box. I would remember he would have vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc, Gingko biloba, fish oil, stuff like that. Um, he ate largely a natural foods diet, thanks to my grandmother. Always cooked for him. Uh, right. Mostly home cooked meals. He knew from trial and error what he was allergic to.

[01:10:45] He was horribly allergic to way. I saw that once for myself. And when I say allergic to it, I don't mean like I'm allergic to it. I get a little stuffed up. It, it got scary. You know, the allergic reaction that he had. [01:11:00] He, he also never shied away from fats. And so being Polish, he consumed liberal amounts of eggs, right?

[01:11:09] Kielbasa, hard sausage. Uh, and I also remember this, he had a lot of natural peanut butter. Lot of natural peanut butter and

[01:11:20] Carl Lanore: [01:11:20] Brian resveratrol, by the way.

[01:11:24] Coach Rob Regish: [01:11:24] Here we go. Uh, and then there was his walking. He loved to walk, and he did. So almost every morning, occasionally coming across Gunks at Dawn, but that never stopped him, and he just kept on moving as long as he could.

[01:11:42] He could also laugh at himself. Okay. Um, like say towards the end, he was starting to have some dementia issues, right? Mental lapses. He blew up the microwave four times, leaving tinfoil and forks and knocks in there and stuff. Fireworks. Yeah. I [01:12:00] mean, it's, at one point it looked like a thunderstorm was on in this place, but he laughed like hell at that.

[01:12:07] And, and when my grandmother has Alzheimer's. Got really bad. He did the best he could to stay busy by taking care of her right, which was a complete role reversal from, from almost his entire life. The one thing I wish grants had done a little bit more of is resistance training. Cause I really honestly believe it would have kept his quality of life much higher in the end.

[01:12:37] The last few couple of years he had to go into a nursing home and it it, it wasn't pretty basically years. Right. The years of muscle wasting had caught up to him and just getting in and out of bed was painful to watch. I mean, I remember he, he would have to go to the bathroom and just getting out of [01:13:00] bed.

[01:13:01] He was in excruciating pain. And so the Walker came next, followed by the wheelchair. I am absolutely convinced that had he started strength training, even that, let's say age 85 he would have benefited enormously from that. And I'm not talking about, Hey, you got to go to the gym and deadlift. No, I'm talking about build up to being able to stand up out of your chair a hundred times.

[01:13:32] No, I have a good friend whose mom in her late seventies did that. She could only do it 10 times. When she started the day she hit a hundred was a banner day and you know, he said the sense of accomplishment on her face was incredible. And if you think about it, you know, ambulating around like that. At that age, it, it's everything.

[01:13:58] You know? It sounds ridiculous to [01:14:00] us. But just being able to do that is huge. The end came for him when something in his brain burst. You know, we, Jen and I were on the way to the hospital. We met to see him every Saturday. Um, and my mom called, and so I picked the phone up and she said, look, don't go. You know, he, he's unresponsive.

[01:14:26] The doctors have told us. He's always going to be unresponsive. We can't hear you. He can't see you. He can't, you know, he doesn't, he's not even going to know you're there. They removed his feeding tube. Well, something, you know, told me to go. My mom kept saying no, there would be no miracles, but something told me I had to go anyway and I'll be damned as I took his hand.

[01:14:56] I whispered in his ear, I said [01:15:00] it, it's Rob and Jen. We're here to tell you that we love you and it's okay to go. Old timer squeezed my hand as hard as he could and he still had some strength left in a little corner of his mouth went up and he smiled and he did that just to let me know. He heard me right in a day or two later passed.

[01:15:30] So think about this, please. Closing thoughts. If your grandparents are still alive, please reach out to them. Or if they're close enough, go see him today. I would do, I'm going to go to the cemetery as soon as I wrap up the show. We both are to say, happy birthday. But I'll tell you this, I would do anything, anything [01:16:00] to see or even talk to him one more time, and I think about them every day.

[01:16:07] And it's something that I want you to think about as you walk away from today's show. Yeah.

[01:16:14] Carl Lanore: [01:16:14] Call somebody and say hello and tell him you love him. Your mother,

[01:16:17] Coach Rob Regish: [01:16:17] grandmother, your grandfather. Well,

[01:16:20] Carl Lanore: [01:16:20] we're not here forever, man. None of us are.

[01:16:22] Coach Rob Regish: [01:16:22] You know, I know I listened to, I had three friends recently, three who lost their parents within a week of each other and their parents were not old, old, you know, and two out of three of them weren't really in touch with them.

[01:16:41] And believe me, it's hard. Yeah. You can't forget that. I mean, it's hard. You know, you go through a range of emotions from feeling abandoned to feeling guilty. And I don't want you to feel guilty, you know, it'll take minutes. Just do it.

[01:16:59] Carl Lanore: [01:16:59] I know. And [01:17:00] today we're so we can communicate so easily. There's no

[01:17:03] Coach Rob Regish: [01:17:03] Explorer.

[01:17:04] Right? So

[01:17:07] Carl Lanore: [01:17:07] that is the blueprint. Tip of the day.

[01:17:11] Coach Rob Regish: [01:17:11] That's it. You know, was trucks live a long time and stay in touch. That's it.

[01:17:19] Carl Lanore: [01:17:19] And that's it for today.

[01:17:22] Coach Rob Regish: [01:17:22] Very good. Well, thank you for having me again. Curl.
