[00:00:00] Carl Lanore: [00:00:00] welcome back to another episode of super Yuma radio today is Tuesday, which means we have the blueprint power hour, which we'll start in just a moment with my cohost coach, Rob ruggish. Uh, before we do that, we have to pay homage to,

[00:00:13] Coach Rob Regish: [00:00:13] uh, our title

[00:00:14] Carl Lanore: [00:00:14] sponsor, without which this show would come to a screeching halt.

[00:00:19] And that is legendary foods. If you go to eat legendary.com and use the code SHR, you'll get 10% off your entire purchase. And every single thing on their website is worthy of your dollars. They make snacks that actually are good for you. Um, I don't care what the new word for sugar is a Gavi and, and honey and, you know, simple syrup.

[00:00:40] Yup. And all that stuff. Sugar is one thing that you should keep out of your diet as much as possible, and that makes snacking difficult. Because we crave sweet. I do at the end of a meal, I'm not done eating until I have something sweet. I don't know what it is. Um, I choose their nut butters, a couple of tablespoons of that.

[00:00:58] So sweet. You'll think there's [00:01:00] a ton of sugar in it, but they're not. And of course the tasty pastry, which is a pop tart upgraded, uh, to have nine grams of protein and less than one gram of sugar and a good, not just for you, but for your children. Don't forget when school comes back, put them in their lunch boxes without further delay,

[00:01:22] Coach Rob Regish: [00:01:22] we have robbed music calling all blueprint, army fall in line.

[00:01:27] Carl Lanore: [00:01:27] It's time for the blueprint power

[00:01:28] Coach Rob Regish: [00:01:28] hour with

[00:01:29] Carl Lanore: [00:01:29] coach

[00:01:30] Coach Rob Regish: [00:01:30] Rodriguez on the superhuman radio network.

[00:01:36] Carl Lanore: [00:01:36] Hey Rob, how are you doing? I am

[00:01:38] Coach Rob Regish: [00:01:38] doing well. Thank you for asking. We got some thunderstorms rolling through, but other than that, everything's fine.

[00:01:44] Carl Lanore: [00:01:44] So they're still rolling through for you.

[00:01:47] Coach Rob Regish: [00:01:47] Yeah, we're supposed to have him. I think it's through today and tomorrow they were pretty bad last night.

[00:01:53] Carl Lanore: [00:01:53] Okay. So we'll have a confession to make.

[00:01:55] Yeah, sure. I didn't sleep last night. Cause we had thunderstorms last night [00:02:00] and power outages and. Trees falling and all that sort of stuff. So when it came time to do the show this morning, I, I took, uh,

[00:02:09] Coach Rob Regish: [00:02:09] a

[00:02:10] Carl Lanore: [00:02:10] handful of, uh, uh, Mark Bell's mind bullet, create them.

[00:02:15] Coach Rob Regish: [00:02:15] Um,

[00:02:16] Carl Lanore: [00:02:16] I had, uh, I had, uh, a bang energy drink, caffeine, and I did smoke just a little bit of weed before I came in and I feel like, um, I feel normal now.

[00:02:25] I don't feel exhausted. I feel like I can do a show.

[00:02:29] Coach Rob Regish: [00:02:29] As long as you feel better,

[00:02:30] Carl Lanore: [00:02:30] but it's all about being transparent and honest on this show. I'll never lie about anything. Um, but anyway, so what's new with you. You have some exciting things going on over at coach, Rob  dot com.

[00:02:41] Coach Rob Regish: [00:02:41] Yeah. So, you know, with the whole COVID thing still going on, it is no secret.

[00:02:46] That times remain tough for many people. I hear about it every day and I'm experiencing it too. But instead of just talking about it, I am going to do what I can to try and help. So [00:03:00] along those lines, a couple of things, one effective immediately. And for a limited time, the new, uh, new group blueprint, bullet and subscribers are going to get the first three months of their subscription for just four 99 a month.

[00:03:18] So less than $5. And secondly and related, we have decided. To open up the entire library to all blueprint and subscribers. And so that's almost a hundred back issues now covering over 400 topics, many, which are not discussed. I don't see them discussed anywhere, anywhere else. Uh, including, you know, a few that aren't on the show, but you know, it begs the question.

[00:03:46] Why subscribe? Well, I'll tell you if you like the blueprint power hour, you will love the bullet. And one guy told me the blueprint bulletin is like the power hour on steroids. So just to [00:04:00] give you a little appetizer, here's just a portion, tiny sliver of what you'll learn. Have you ever heard of anti Creotine or what it can do for you?

[00:04:10] You will read all about that plus where to, uh, where to get it. How about a chin-up protocol? Cause there's a training thing and every issue too, that can add up to an inch to your upper arms in 60 days, you'll get that. I will also show you how a certain easily obtained asthma medication combined with an over the counter supplement added it's 17 pounds of muscle in 14 weeks in this study.

[00:04:38] And no, I'm not talking about Columbia rural. And then finally, I'm going to show anybody that wants to listen and learn how to walk in to any drugstore and how to walk out with four items that are guaranteed to blow the doors off of any commercially selling fat [00:05:00] burner, you know, out there today. So those are just four of roughly 400, right?

[00:05:07] Um, game changers that await you. Plus. A new issue every month. And right now you can get all of that. Like I said, for less than $5 a month, a hundred percent, that satisfaction guarantee you have my word or your money back. No questions asked. No. So. Head on over to coach Rob ruggish.com get your free sample issue so you can see, um, well, when I'm talking about, and really what I put into it and use coupon code SHR to take advantage of our beds last offer ever.

[00:05:45] I really hope that helps some people that are feeling it because the coconut.

[00:05:49] Carl Lanore: [00:05:49] We have to give a shout out to somebody also real quick. Okay. So there's a gal who loved the blueprint of power and loves you. And she follows you, you and your directions to the [00:06:00] T. And she is put on considerable amount of muscle for her size and frame and where she started.

[00:06:06] And she attributed a lot of it to the things that she took away from your show. She says, I've been training. I love the blueprint power hour. Your cohost is so good. Love this guy. I've been training, as he said for the past. Mezzo heavy, double singles as a warmup rest, 10 minutes lower the load 20%. She talks about the working sets that she follows from your loading patterns.

[00:06:30] I've never in my life been lifting heavier than I am right now. I've done such a have so much progress. So she's up, she's originally a Russian she's originally from Russia, this cute little Island, somewhere off the coast of France. Her her name is Maria. I've had a Cova and I follow her on Instagram and she doesn't have a lot of followers, but she should, because she is, has fallen in love with physical culture.

[00:07:00] [00:07:00] Coach Rob Regish: [00:07:00] She, she, she

[00:07:01] Carl Lanore: [00:07:01] eats, she trains hard. She has her own gym in her home. And when, whenever the sun is out, she's out on the, on the beach, laying in the sun and she takes these cute little videos of her walking. And then she flashes her abs and she smiles. No, she's she looks like she's having so much freaking fun in life that I think we could, we could all tear a page out of her book.

[00:07:23] I gotta be honest with you.

[00:07:25] Coach Rob Regish: [00:07:25] Yeah, well that is very humbling. Thank you for sharing that. Um, Maria, and I'm just glad. Um, that people are benefiting, you know, and like you said, you can see it in their faces and what they do and how they live their lives. And I think that's all,

[00:07:39] Carl Lanore: [00:07:39] if you find her on Instagram, you have to go to her before and her most recent before and after picture.

[00:07:44] So her Instagram handle is, is I'm Maria. I M a R I a underscore I V. I guess that's for the, uh, uh, her last name. So I M a R I a [00:08:00] underscore, I V find your before and after picture, she was so lean, but so tiny. She's a tiny girl and now her quads are big. She's got amazing lacks. I always joke with her and say, you know, you probably could fly if you try.

[00:08:19] I mean, she's got amazing lights and, and all she cares about. Is training, eating, sleeping, being in the sun. She is living the Spartan life and it's doing her very well. So there you go.

[00:08:34] Coach Rob Regish: [00:08:34] There you go. Yeah, that will serve her well.

[00:08:37] Carl Lanore: [00:08:37] So the first question comes from Dennis Condrey. He said, I like your opinion on overhead presses, standing or seated.

[00:08:45] I've read where it's dangerous, wrecks your shoulders, et cetera, but see lots of guys doing them. What's the story.

[00:08:53] Coach Rob Regish: [00:08:53] Well, the issues with overhead pressing are complex, and I'm not convinced that you [00:09:00] can make a definitive statement that all overhead pressing is good or bad. It depends, uh, on a number of things, but primarily it depends on the individual, right?

[00:09:11] So for example, I know people that on their best day, um, cannot squat because their shoulders are so inflexible. Right. They can't keep their hands up there and balance the barbell. Yeah. On their backs. On the other hand, within one week have surgery on my right shoulder. I was able to easily pull that barbell and squat, and I probably could have done it earlier than that.

[00:09:37] But the surgeon insisted, I wear a sling for a few days. Um, I have done plenty of seated shoulder presses and standing military presses. Without issues that was earlier in my life. Um, however, I do agree that any time the elbows drift away from the body, [00:10:00] um, the movement itself becomes more precarious. And I've spoken many times on this show about the example where if you trip and fall forward, your body assumes its strongest and safest position.

[00:10:14] By putting your hands here and your elbows tucked in right in line with the shoulder and the wrist. And so, um, you know, that, that example, I think rings true with most people. Uh, however, again, because of individual differences, They may or may not be able to perform certain movements. So let me just give you an idea of what I do in my own training now with good shoulders, but I want to be safe about it, which I think you know, is where a lot of people are, right?

[00:10:49] It's something of a compromise, my main shoulder movements for strength, power, you know, heavy loading, whatever you want to call it. Our handstand shoulder presses, handstand [00:11:00] pushups with a weight vest. And push presses on the leverage squat, or, you know, for those that don't have one, um, a barbell Jimmer press.

[00:11:10] So you will note that in both of those instances, the elbows are kept either they're in front, right? Well, in front of the body or in line with the wrist and, or both anatomically again, which is the strongest and safest position. Um, I'll say this though, when the gym closed. I didn't have leverage squat anymore, so I can no longer do this, this push breath.

[00:11:34] So what I came up with was a seated trap bar, overhead presses. Now you will need a trap bar in all fairness, with extra long sleeves on it, right where the weights go and probably a set of adjustable. Squat stands or safety supports, if you will. I'm fortunate in that. I have that, uh, it does a beautiful [00:12:00] job keeping everything where it should be the wrist, elbow, and shoulder, while also kind of uniquely centering the load, right?

[00:12:09] Just like in the trap bar, deadlift in the middle of the body and in the middle of the torso. Once I am done with those heavier movements, I move on to rear delts. Personally, I make sure to perform 100 face polls during the workout. That's sometimes that's five sets of 20, some kinds of four sets of 25, you know, and or any combination that gets me to a hundred reps.

[00:12:37] Again, this isn't a heavy thing, though, right? It's just Facebook, as you usually see on a, on a high poli cable. I happened to do them with, um, a minivan. And obviously, depending upon how far back from the minivan newsstand, the resistance will will vary. I have included those now instead [00:13:00] of the devil they'll side laterals that I was doing, given the face poles, in my opinion, are infinitely safer in the rear.

[00:13:09] Delt gets plenty of heavy work during my deadlifts and other roles that I do. On my back day. Now I'm not saying that you can't do dumbbell side laterals without hurting yourself. What I am saying is I see a lot of people including me, and this is how I hurt my shoulder. I was starting to get carried away with weight.

[00:13:29] That's not a movement where your body's meant to lift a lot of weight, you know, you're way away from the fulcrum of your body. So here's a, here's the final word I would tell you, overhead precedent is not universally bad, but you will need to determine right how the movements affect you first. If you don't want to learn handstand pushups, for whatever reason, I would recommend either.

[00:13:53] The trap bar overhead press. If you can pull it off dumbbell presses using a neutral right. Or pronated [00:14:00] grip, I should say, uh, or, uh, what, uh, the barbell jammer press, right? If you don't, if you're a trap bar, doesn't have long enough sleep those again, being your core movement. So you can finish that by training.

[00:14:16] As I do your rear side delts, just be mindful not to get carried away with the weights.

[00:14:22] Carl Lanore: [00:14:22] Okay. The next question comes from Hank Simmons and Simmons assignments. I guess. It's Simmons. What do you think about of Loquat? I found a study saying that it's turned on all kinds of muscle growth genes and is a few, there are a few products that I have my eye on.

[00:14:42] Is it good stuff? What is low quality?

[00:14:44] Coach Rob Regish: [00:14:44] Yeah. Well, um, It was the first I had heard of it, maybe a couple of months ago, I'm familiar with the study that he's referencing and you can find it doing a quick search on pub med. Essentially, though, if you go back [00:15:00] to the Genesis of this, what scientists did was they were looking for something, they were scanning databases for compounds that would be helpful in slowing muscle atrophy.

[00:15:11] And they kept coming back to one name or soul like acid. Now, as you can imagine that study and the others have kind of been cherry picked by a few supplement companies that sell the stuff more importantly, there has been, at least since then, there is at least been one human study done, which we'll discuss.

[00:15:35] Now, the first thing you need to know, and maybe the most telling is that ursolic acid is a component. Oh, Loquat and what they think is responsible for its effect on muscle tissue. And in fact, we do know from studies or so like acid turns on many of the genes that are favorable to muscle growth. And if you believe some other studies, fat loss [00:16:00] as well.

[00:16:00] So at this point, this stuff's looking real good, right? Well, what they did was they took 54 people. They gave half of them placebo and half of them got 500 milligrams of Loquat leaf extract, which at the end of the day gave them a bout 50 milligrams that were so

[00:16:18] Carl Lanore: [00:16:18] that's a lot of your soul like acid.

[00:16:20] Coach Rob Regish: [00:16:20] Well, yes, yes and no.

[00:16:22] Yes and no. So, uh, the study went 12 weeks and here were the results. No differences in muscle strength, muscle mass. And physical performance were observed between the two groups. The one thing they did see was that the right hand grip strength of female subjects in the Loquat group was found to be significantly better for some reason than that, of the subjects in the placebo group.

[00:16:50] So I guess if you're a female

[00:16:55] Carl Lanore: [00:16:55] and you have a really strong left hand, but you want to increase the strength of just your right hand.

[00:17:01] [00:17:00] Coach Rob Regish: [00:17:01] Right.

[00:17:01] Carl Lanore: [00:17:01] Quad is for you

[00:17:04] Coach Rob Regish: [00:17:04] now it's possible to your point, Carl, it's possible that the dose wasn't high enough, the, all the authors themselves mentioned that, but here's the thing, highly purified ursolic acid supplements have been out for years.

[00:17:22] And in fact, most of them give you 300 milligrams a day.

[00:17:26] Carl Lanore: [00:17:26] Okay. I was going to ask you, because I had Pat Arnold. Or solid or symbolic. I think it was called, I didn't know what the milligram dosage of that was of the actual

[00:17:36] Coach Rob Regish: [00:17:36] active

[00:17:37] Carl Lanore: [00:17:37] or solic assets. You're saying it's probably around 300.

[00:17:40] Coach Rob Regish: [00:17:40] Yeah, it was, it was a hell of a lot more than 50

[00:17:43] Carl Lanore: [00:17:43] corrected

[00:17:44] Coach Rob Regish: [00:17:44] that.

[00:17:45] Well, you see, the problem is, is this even people using tons of this stuff, nobody's reporting widespread benefits, right? More muscle, less fat. This stuff is noticeable. And frankly, and I think Pat has [00:18:00] said this, he kind of rushed out product to market before he figured it out for solar gas in his horrible bioavailability to his credit.

[00:18:11] He reformulated it and put it into a transdermal. Right. I hear, I hear mixed. Mixed things about that. Some people like it a lot, some people don't, it's really hard to say. Um, now the one thing I will say about our soul, like acid is that I did find some very impressive data showing lower creatine kinase levels.

[00:18:36] So if you're somebody like me, who's prone to rhabdo my losis right. And the muscle tissue, you know, too much damage happening to the muscle. You might want to keep a few bottles of this stuff handy, right. For your heaviest workouts. Otherwise, otherwise I wouldn't bother. I think it's had its chance and it's just not as big a thing as we thought it was going to be.

[00:18:59] Carl Lanore: [00:18:59] It was never able [00:19:00] to benefit from it because the one that Pat uses comes from Rosemary and

[00:19:05] Coach Rob Regish: [00:19:05] yeah,

[00:19:06] Carl Lanore: [00:19:06] and I, my gut doesn't like Rosemary. I burped that stuff up when I was taking his earth symbolic product. Oh, my God. I was burping up Rosemary all day long. Maybe that's part of the lack of, uh, the lack of bioavailability.

[00:19:19] Maybe it's not diet, very digestible to begin with.

[00:19:23] Coach Rob Regish: [00:19:23] Well, even, even when they, even when they get it from the, uh, skin of an Apple, which is another source for it, right. Um, you don't see as many, let's say your allergic reactions, but you also don't see. Oh my God, this stuff's awesome. So. Take that for what it's worth.

[00:19:41] Carl Lanore: [00:19:41] Uh, let's see here. The next question comes from, uh, Mike Collins. He says, uh, I'd like to know what you think about rad one 40. It's supposed to be like testosterone or pretty close. If it is, I plan to use it, is it? Why not just use this toss road? This is like saying, this is like [00:20:00] saying this is like saying, Hey man, um, I've heard that Volkswagens are just like Maseratis.

[00:20:05] Coach Rob Regish: [00:20:05] If it's true,

[00:20:06] Carl Lanore: [00:20:06] I'm going to buy a Volkswagen. Cause I really want a Maserati, like why not just save you money and buy the Maserati.

[00:20:14] Coach Rob Regish: [00:20:14] So I haven't used many SARMs, but. A red one 40 is one that I get. And I can tell you from experience, cause I'm on HRT and have been for years. It is nothing like testosterone, but first let's watch.

[00:20:30] Let's kind of review why you'd want to take than one 40. Anyway, the question becomes, are you doing not because you're showing symptoms of low testosterone, because if you are

[00:20:41] Carl Lanore: [00:20:41] gay, ain't gonna

[00:20:42] Coach Rob Regish: [00:20:42] help you out. Then it's not time to go to a web store and get on SARMs it's time to go get your levels measured.

[00:20:50] But

[00:20:50] Carl Lanore: [00:20:50] especially I, especially since by definition, a selective androgen receptor modulator is exactly that [00:21:00] it only provides some of the effects of an androgen, not all of the effects of an androgen and a lot of times those effects. That it does provide. Aren't the ones guys that are looking for HRT are looking for, because the HRT is going to mitigate their sadness, their, their lack of libido.

[00:21:22] They don't, those things don't do it. They don't hit that target. That's why they're called SARMs right.

[00:21:28] Coach Rob Regish: [00:21:28] And so you hit the nail on the head. Testosterone does a lot more than that. You know,

[00:21:36] Carl Lanore: [00:21:36] testosterone influences the diversity of your gut microbiome. So arms, aren't going to do that.

[00:21:42] Coach Rob Regish: [00:21:42] Right. And that's a great example.

[00:21:44] So, so in my example, instead, you went to the doctor, you got tested you're in a much better place. Why? Because now you have options and options are a very nice thing, right? To have, if you [00:22:00] are low or should I say low enough, then you can get, and I would recommend you get the real deal, testosterone replacement.

[00:22:10] Your body knows what testosterone is. It belongs there. It knows exactly what to do with it and what not to do with it. And that is a far preferable situation, in my opinion, too, to read one 40, because you know, that's assuming you get rad one 40 and that's that's questionable too. So, um, I have heard from people who went the rad one 40 route and they took it for eight weeks and then I heard back and they became, guess what suppressed?

[00:22:48] So at the end of eight weeks, he felt well, he feels, God awful. Two weeks after that, during that time, he felt awful. He was wondering what to do. I said, go to the doctor. [00:23:00] He went to the doctor, he found out he was suppressed, but guess what? He wasn't suppressed enough. To get HRT. Yeah. So not only now you really screwed yourself, you know?

[00:23:11] Carl Lanore: [00:23:11] Yeah. And, and, and, and, and depending on your age, whether or not you're going to bounce back is a totally different question. Right. And, and I love your point about if the stuff isn't even real and that, that's another thing, like you're buying this stuff and you just assume yeah. It's legit. Right.

[00:23:26] Coach Rob Regish: [00:23:26] Right.

[00:23:26] Okay.

[00:23:27] Carl Lanore: [00:23:27] I don't, I don't, I don't, I've never been a big SARMs fan. In fact, tomorrow we have a guy named Victor black coming on the show and he writes prolifically about bodybuilding and bodybuilding drugs. He lives over in Asia. Not sure if it's Japan or, but he's coming on tomorrow to talk about why K 11, why K 11 is widely believed to be a, sorry.

[00:23:48] But it's a form of progesterone, no pregnant alone. It's a form of pregnant alone. And my argument is it's not a Psalm, it's a, it's an anabolic steroid. Uh, [00:24:00] but it does some really interesting things that no other anabolics don't really does. And that is, it increases full of Staton and anybody who'd been chasing the myostatin inhibition.

[00:24:10] Uh, uh, conundrum. No, was that full of statin? Increasing full of Staten is a better thing than just decreasing myostatin. And Victor's going to come on tomorrow and talk about why K 11. Is it a Psalm? Is it an anabolic steroid and what is it good for? And is it safe to use, so those of you were interested in SARMs and stuff you'll want to catch tomorrow's show for sure.

[00:24:31] Coach Rob Regish: [00:24:31] Yeah, but you know what? My opinion on this is as follows. I don't think these pharmaceutical companies would be bothering at all with SARMs. If steroids weren't such a political hot potato, we've had them for 70 years. We know what they do. We know what they don't do. I don't think these companies would be bothering with SARMs for a New York minute, if.

[00:24:56] Steroids where, you know, if everybody had their head [00:25:00] screwed on correctly and people didn't flip at the word steroid, we wouldn't even be having this discussion. So here's the thing. Bottom line, find out where you are get tested, uh, and then get on HRT. If you are low enough, you know, otherwise try to optimize it.

[00:25:19] Yeah, this is, this is a really important point, too. Let your own testosterone take you as far as it'll go and then cross the HRT bridge when you have to, where you need to, not when you want to necessarily good. So yeah,

[00:25:39] Carl Lanore: [00:25:39] we'll take a quick commercial break. And when we come back, we've got more questions you're listening to and watching the blueprint power hour.

[00:25:45] If you're watching us on Facebook right now, you can post your questions. We'll answer them today. Later in this show, I'm going to talk about something a little controversial, and that is this whole thing about wearing a mask. I have some critical [00:26:00] thinking to apply. I'm not arguing whether the mask work or not.

[00:26:03] That's not what I'm going to talk about, but I promise you. It'll be interesting if you, uh, I used to stay to the top of the hour. Uh, we will be right back with more of the blueprint, power hour, stay tuned.

[00:26:17] Coach Rob Regish: [00:26:17] Move over superheroes. This is this superhuman channel.

[00:26:26] Carl Lanore: [00:26:26] welcome. Back to the blueprint power hour with coach Rob ruggish. You can learn more about him at  dot com. Read, literally, almost a decades worth of blueprints, uh, for four 99 a month. I mean, you drink crap coffee for, for around four 99 a month, one 99 a day, actually. Alright, so the next question comes from the next question comes.

[00:26:54] Can you believe I had a bang energy drink today? You know, you know, I feel bad, right? [00:27:00] So Mike Graham says, uh, I've been training for almost 10 years, but not clear whether I've reached my genetic limit. How does somebody know? And how do you know when you're ready for anabolics? Well, first of all, look in the mirror.

[00:27:14] Are you lean as you could possibly be right now, that's the first step to look at and what's your muscle, your muscle look like.

[00:27:22] Coach Rob Regish: [00:27:22] Right? And so this is an important question. And, and they're like, uh, the previous one about training. There's a lot that goes into it. Um, so there is no clear consensus as to whether you've reached your genetic limit.

[00:27:38] It would differ for almost everyone and a lot of things go into it. So there are however, some benchmarks that I like when evaluating this issue first. You need to have reef some combination of a 1200 pound total in the powerless, right? The bench squat and the devil. That's [00:28:00] usually a pretty good indicator that you've done a real good job with what you have.

[00:28:04] And so typically that's a 300 pound bench or 400 pound squat, or a 500 pound deadlift or some, you know, something.

[00:28:13] Carl Lanore: [00:28:13] But I guess we didn't, he didn't specify. Is he after strength or is he look trying to look like a shredded bodybuilder?

[00:28:22] Coach Rob Regish: [00:28:22] Well, I'm, I'm getting there. Um, but you, you are, I guess my point there is you are not going to be lifting weights like that without a decent amount of muscle.

[00:28:34] What that muscle looks like, whether or not you've maxed it out, that's another matter, but those are very respectable numbers for those people, for most people rather. And it's something to aspire to. If you study most gym goers though, it isn't really all that common. I mean, what's yeah. You know, what's more common, at least in the gyms that I've visited and trained [00:29:00] in.

[00:29:01] I see a lot of guys with big muscles and not much strength, comparatively speaking. Okay. When I ask people about this, I get a lot of responses. Like I'm just trying to look good, bro. And there's nothing wrong with that. Um, But for me, that would be totally unacceptable. Yeah. In my mind, that is like all show and no go.

[00:29:29] So as a first step, I would try, I would strive to reach those numbers. Some combination of a 1200 pound total. Part of that evaluation though, should also be this, asking yourself this question. Can I add just one pound more? Can I lift just one pound more on most exercises? And if the answer to that question is yes.

[00:29:56] And in almost every case, it is, um, [00:30:00] you still have work to do it is a crime that there are not half pound plates. In gyms today, or at least one pound plates, right. Where you could add one or two pounds to the bar, respectively, the body cannot tell the di if I blindfolded you and I put you on a bench and I gave you 300 pounds to take off and lift, and then I did the same thing and gave you three Oh one or two 99, you would not be able to tell the truth.

[00:30:29] Carl Lanore: [00:30:29] In fact, that's, that's an interesting comment and I'll tell you why, because there's a lot of guys. Who thought that max left max lift was X and then a training partner who's real bad with math loaded. The ball are with the wrong weight. And even though the bar had an extra 20 pounds, 25 pounds on it, the person expected it to be a certain weight and expected to be able to lift it.

[00:30:53] And then they've done it. Yeah. And then they've like in a deadlift, they've dropped the bar and then they did the method. Oh my God. That's 25 pounds more [00:31:00] than I've ever lifted before, just because they didn't realize what they will lift.

[00:31:04] Coach Rob Regish: [00:31:04] Yup. I got a great story about that later, but, um, there's one of the one or two other things that go into this age is obviously that's, it's undisputedly plays a role nobody's body at 40 a male anyway is making as much testosterone as they did at 20.

[00:31:24] So HR R T around that time, or if you qualify, might be necessary for you to gain optimally now in my mind, that's not exactly strictly speaking. Yeah. You're using a steroid, but come on. It's not, it's not most people's definition. Um, having said that, don't think for one minute, that just because you're on test.

[00:31:50] Means you're on easy street. And if you don't believe me, I want you to go ahead and start shooting 500, 700,000 [00:32:00] milligrams a week. Um, it is no miracle. It really isn't. Does it make building muscle easier? Yes. But is it going to give you the kind of pro muscle that a lot of people think that they see in the magazines?

[00:32:15] They think they're going to get that. From testosterone, it's not going to happen. It does not solve all of your problems. So here's the bottom line in my mind. Um, I would achieve that 1200 pound total first. I would then evaluate your training and diet over and over for months. If not years, ask yourself that question.

[00:32:37] Am I still getting stronger on things? And to your point, Carl, um, am I leaning enough so that I can see. Actually see the muscle I built and do I have the kind of muscle maturity that only people get after a decade or more under the heavy iron I'm willing to bet after you go [00:33:00] through those exercises that you'll be able to extend.

[00:33:04] Your best natural years, at least somewhat. And in some cases considerably and doing so is only going to give you a bigger base, right. To jump off from that jumping off point. If it's way up here, you're going to be at a whole different level than if somebody, you know, somebody who you walk into the gym the first day and said, Hey, I got to get on the gas.

[00:33:30] What should I start taking that person is in, in a real bad way. Um, so I would do those two or three things and then reevaluate that an easy, not an easy question to answer

[00:33:45] Carl Lanore: [00:33:45] and, and, you know, deep in your heart, you know, if you're really doing the hard work and you really know if you're eating right and you're really getting good sleep and you're doing a day in and day out, like a true athlete would do.

[00:33:55] Yeah. You know, if you are, you don't need to ask anybody, but look, if you want to get on, get on, you know, [00:34:00] just do what you want to donor. Um, can you get says I started using boswellia that boswellia stuff, uh, you've been talking about, but haven't experienced any relief yet. How long is it supposed to take?

[00:34:13] I have pretty bad knee injury and was hoping it would kick in fast so I could start training heavy again. Injury is different than what

[00:34:20] Coach Rob Regish: [00:34:20] boswellia is going to fix, I think. Right. Well, so we established last week. Boswellia first off, you need to get stuff that's standardized for the accurate ingredients.

[00:34:33] Boswellic acids they're in anywhere between four and six, depending upon whose literature you read. Um, and further that they know it works at least in part by headbutting five lipo oxygenase, which is an enzyme. That produces leukotrienes, which are inflammatory. So you kill those, you kill the information or at least most of it, a couple of things then that can help you and others with respect to  [00:35:00] first finding a standardized product contains those actives.

[00:35:06] Okay. You are looking, you're looking, uh, for a material. Called Apperflex a P R E S F L E X. Sometimes also known as Indian frankincense. It is standardized for 20 20% AKA BA, which for those wondering stands for a seasonal 11 Hito beta boswellia in 2014. There was a clinical trial done using that material, which showed a nearly 20% reduction in pain scores over baseline for within the first five days.

[00:35:48] Okay. A 50% reduction occurred in 30 days and further a 70% reduction occurred in 90 days. So like I said, last week, it's not like taking an Advil [00:36:00] and boom, your headaches gone. It takes a little bit longer for most of these natural compounds to work. Um, once. So once you found the good stuff, give it some time, right?

[00:36:13] Uh, It's much better in my opinion than Advil or Tylenol, given the toxicity involved in, I think I gave the example last week as somebody I know who unfortunately has kidney issues because of longterm chronic Advil or Tylenol. I can't remember which one. Um, Docent. So anyway, there's one of the thing people need to know that are using boswellia that's going to help them.

[00:36:41] And that is simply this. I found a study showing that when it's taken with food, they saw much higher blood levels of those boswellic acids than it was then when taken without food. And specifically they mentioned some fat. [00:37:00] So the way the scientists concluded that study, they said this for the first time, these data reveal the detailed kinetics of boswellic acids after oral dosing of an extract and demonstrate the profound and that I'm using very specifically that word, there were profound effect of food intake on the pharmokinetic profile.

[00:37:26] Of boswellia Serrata so, you know, scientists typically shy away from, from terms like profound and very definitive words like that. But, you know, there it is. So take it with food, give it at least five days and then reevaluate

[00:37:43] Carl Lanore: [00:37:43] now. But now this compound is shown to reduce and eliminate pain over that period of time.

[00:37:50] Correct. Yes, that has nothing to do with healing. That was my point with his question. His question says, how long does this stuff take to work? [00:38:00] Uh, and, and, you know, I have a pretty bad knee injury and was hoping to kick it kick in fast. So I, so, so it's going to get rid of pain, but if the injury subside, it's going to get rid of pain or if, or if it's healing during the period of time you're taking it, the real issue is you need to heal your problem.

[00:38:19] So. What's going on with you need, do you have a bucket handle tear? Do you have that? Do you feel the knee is binding up? You can't lock it out. You know, where is the pain? Is it on the inside of the knee? On the outside of the knee is the front of the knee. Is that the kneecap? You need to identify the pain first so that you can fix the injury.

[00:38:37] That's that should be number one on your list because masking pain and maintaining the injury is how I lost this tricep I trained anyway. And who knew that the, the, the. The, uh, um, the tendon was unraveling and literally snapped it. And had I just focused on figuring out how to get [00:39:00] the pain to go away from fixing the problem, I would have never needed tricep injury,

[00:39:05] Coach Rob Regish: [00:39:05] uh, surgery.

[00:39:07] That is a really good point. So if you, if I, if you listen to his question, he's saying, how long does this stuff take to work? The, so the question in my mind then is. What do you mean by work? If you mean take the pain away. That's one thing, if you mean the underlying right. Fix the underlying injury.

[00:39:27] That's another thing

[00:39:28] Carl Lanore: [00:39:28] because you wouldn't, you would imagine that that's the question he's asking because he wants to start training and no one would train with an injury only to make it worse. So really he, you know, he needs to understand that while boswellia, may, uh, Mute some of the pain, it may not be healing.

[00:39:45] The problem, the problem may need to be addressed.

[00:39:48] Coach Rob Regish: [00:39:48] Yeah. Yeah. And that's, um, you know, that's not uncommon when people say to me, how long does it take the stair on the work? Well, you know, define work you want to see [00:40:00] from, for some people, like when I was younger to me, something works. The term work means how quickly am I going to see the number on the scale?

[00:40:08] Go up. For powerlifters it's um, how much longer before these numbers start going up? Right. So work means different things to different guys. We need to find that. Yeah. Yeah,

[00:40:20] Carl Lanore: [00:40:20] yeah. But I would have the knee look that I really would have a go have a go have an MRI done of the knee. Uh, see a qualified, uh, orthopedic surgeon and, uh, and see if there's something that needs to be addressed in the knee.

[00:40:33] And if so, get it addressed and then worry about the pain going away once you know that, because if you make the pain go away and you go in and you start squatting heavy and you end up blowing out your knee, just because it didn't hurt, you know, it's like that old. And now remember the old analogy I used to use about how modern medicine works.

[00:40:51] So if, if, if mechanics were like modern doctors, you'd go into the cat. I can say, there's this ominous. [00:41:00] Clanging noise coming from my engine. It's gotta be a problem. And the mechanic, he listens, he goes, yeah, that's loud. That's definitely something that's wrong with your engine. And he goes, but I can fix it for you.

[00:41:10] It gives you a pair of earplugs. He says, just wear these ear pods when you drive the car, because if the noise has gone, then the problem has to be gone. Right. But no, the problem is still there. You're just, you're just ignoring it now. And so you need to, you need to get that checked out. Otherwise you're going to end up with problems that.

[00:41:28] Later on in life, take it from me. Every injury is an unnecessary pitfall. If you would have stopped and thought, cause everybody who has an injury where they tear a ligament, I taught three hamstring, tad. I knew then I just don't feel like something's wrong today. Well, I'm deadlifting I should have just stopped.

[00:41:47] No, I'm just going to muscle through it. I'm just going to muscle through it. And yeah, I muscled my way into, uh, a handful of injuries. Now I let's take a quick commercial break. When we come back, we have the blueprint tip of the day, stay tuned. You don't later in the show, [00:42:00] I'm going to address, um, some critical thinking as it relates to mask wearing.

[00:42:07] And I'm sure that I'll piss some people off.

[00:42:09] Coach Rob Regish: [00:42:09] So stay tuned. Cool.

[00:42:11] Carl Lanore: [00:42:11] Hold on a second. Let me just get back here. There we go. It's 70%. Sorry.

[00:42:23] Coach Rob Regish: [00:42:23] You are listening to this superhuman channel

[00:42:26] Carl Lanore: [00:42:26] we're ripped and we're ready.

[00:42:35] Welcome back. So what is the blueprint tip of the day?

[00:42:40] Coach Rob Regish: [00:42:40] Yeah. You know what? The tip of the day, this was really cool thoughts on my biggest returns on investment. And so a little bit about the concept. First return on investment is usually associated right with the financial services industry. So simply stated if you [00:43:00] invested 10 grand five years ago in a stock and it's worth 25 grand today, you got a pretty respectable return on investment.

[00:43:09] Um, but the term lends itself to all sorts of scenarios. So I thought it would be fun to look back at my best returns on investment for the money that I invested in physical culture. So here we go. The first big return on investment that I can remember was in college. So I know this is ancient history, but it was 1988, my freshman year, and my roommate and I found a course called super big in six weeks.

[00:43:43] It was in the back of muscle mag international and now defunct. And it was a tiny little black and white classified ad. Um, that instructed you to send 20 bucks actually a money order, $20 money order to [00:44:00] someplace in California and they in return they'd mail you the course. So we both coughed up 10 bucks and waited.

[00:44:08] And about almost a month later, I remember going to my little mailbox in college. And there it is all nine pages of now, if memory serves, it was created for underweight college football players. Two results that we got from those nine pages were phenomenal. Uh, Now it didn't happen all in six weeks, of course, but, um, certainly some of it did and, and then a little bit longer for the full payoff.

[00:44:43] The knowledge I gained from that, that little book took me a long, long way in particular. It taught me how to eat. How to shop, how to prepare and how to consume vast quantities of food, which is a lot more important than [00:45:00] people think it's been said that the toughest part of this game is the battle with the knife and the fork, not the workouts.

[00:45:06] And I would concur. Um, so there's a lot more to it too, than just mixing up waking shakes and making, you know, a few sandwiches in the grand scheme of things I would attribute. Between the diet and the workout in that book. Um, at least 20 pounds of permanent muscle from that little book. Okay. That got me from a buck 60 to one, but also,

[00:45:33] Carl Lanore: [00:45:33] but also those things became foundational strategies that you used for the rest of your life too.

[00:45:40] Yes. When, when you look at ROI, you have to not only look at it. The intrinsic value of the, how the investment increased in value, but then the extrinsic effect of it throughout time.

[00:45:52] Coach Rob Regish: [00:45:52] Yes. Very good point. Yeah. It's called future value. You're absolutely right. So for 10 bucks, that little book is [00:46:00] still paying dues.

[00:46:01] The next major breakthrough was when I bought the book super squats by Randall J straws. And again, for around 10 bucks. I learned things that literally changed my life and redefined what the words hard work really meant. It was a lot more other than just learning how to do break breathing, squats and breathing pullovers.

[00:46:28] Right. Which are linchpins of the program. But listen, Anybody can tell you to do those two things. There's stuff in that book. That goes way beyond that. The chapter on diet alone was worth its weight in gold diet and psychology. In two years, I put on about 50 pounds. Okay. Not all of it was muscle. But a lot of it was for sure.

[00:46:53] I was 19 at the time, right. Of its publication. Um, which was, I went back and looked. [00:47:00] It was first printed in February of 1989 and I bought it in the same month. Okay. It also got me strong. I mean, for me, ridiculously strong, given what I learned within its pages. And so that was probably looking back my best ROI.

[00:47:21] Right. Bringing me from one 82, almost two 30 again. For around 10 bucks. And just so everyone knows it's not much more expensive today at around 17 bucks for a brand new copy and 12 bucks. You huh? Circa 1995. Now I made 25. I bought the two books, a big beyond belief by Leo Costa. I know you've had them on many times.

[00:47:51] And dr. Deepa Squally again, who was, I think your first guest, he wrote the antibodies diet. From what I learned in [00:48:00] those two books, I gained another 22 pounds. I hit my all time high of two 52. And I can still read, I can tell you that I can still remember when yes, where I was precisely the day I crossed the 250 pound threshold because.

[00:48:20] One of my longterm goals was met. Um, now having said that, just like buying stocks, not every ROI, uh, is successful. There were many courses and books I paid handsomely for and got nothing. In one case I spent. Uh, it was more than 70 bucks. I remember that, which was a fortune in those days. I was dirt poor, you know, you're working maybe a part time job in college.

[00:48:50] It was a fortune of those days. I got worse than nothing out of that book. What book was that? Well, it, to me grossly over-trained I don't [00:49:00] recall the name of it. I wish I could, it left me grossly over-trained and injured. Okay. And so that was a very. Tough learning experience, but still, still nevertheless, a learning experience.

[00:49:15] And you know, when I look back at it, I am constantly amazed at how many wrong turns I took and how much money I wasted. Time and money. The situation is even worse today. And because there are, there are an infinite number, right of programs to try and exit or it's to consult and no way to tell really in, in some cases who's writing them or what their credentials are or whether the people or even trustworthy.

[00:49:48] Uh, I really do feel for the kids that are coming up today. You know, at least back in my day, you could say, and there was no internet in a dearth of information. Okay. [00:50:00] But there were far fewer programs to parse. Right. I could kind of look at them and say, well, that sounds like it might work. It's one of 10, I'm going to try instead of, you know, one of a thousand today, and I'm not sure what works and what doesn't back then, uh, Unlike today, not in every case, but in most cases back then people put their name on products.

[00:50:28] Do you know why? Same reason I put my name on the bullet because I'm proud with the anonymity of the internet today and these fly by night. People that are trying to get rich quick.

[00:50:42] Carl Lanore: [00:50:42] And, and, and what do they call them now? Nom, the plumes, like people, right under fake names. They not even the person you're dealing with a lot of, and you know, that goes back a long time.

[00:50:51] That's nothing new, right? Because there's a, there's a, uh, that program that you liked power building. Yup. [00:51:00] That was actually created by Sean

[00:51:03] Coach Rob Regish: [00:51:03] Phillips

[00:51:04] Carl Lanore: [00:51:04] Phillips, but he had a different name in the magazine. Right. Brad

[00:51:08] Coach Rob Regish: [00:51:08] Jeffrey's.

[00:51:09] Carl Lanore: [00:51:09] Yeah. You know, so you really don't even know who's writing this stuff half the time, you know?

[00:51:13] Coach Rob Regish: [00:51:13] Right. And it's even worse with the internet. Why? Because, you know, we got.

[00:51:20] Carl Lanore: [00:51:20] You can have a website up in a day that looks so substantial that you'll think, wow, this has to be a big company. And it's some guy working out of his apartment, right.

[00:51:29] Coach Rob Regish: [00:51:29] W w with B with completely fake before and after pictures.

[00:51:33] Right? Right. And there are a lot harder to see today than the old days when like telling you this. I saw it for myself. I saw, I saw a person put duct tape on their back to pull their waistline in. Duct tape. I'm not kidding and worse in these before and after pictures. Um, so, you know, look, the point is this, you couldn't conceivably today go [00:52:00] around in circles for years, forever wasting tons of money, trying to figure out what works and what, but having said that I digress fortunately for me, I found some absolute gems right in the prime of my life, those 10 years, between 15 and 25, I certainly ordered and used the right, the right courses.

[00:52:26] And I was healthy enough to make the most of them. It's funny too. You know, the best of them were dirt cheap. I told you 10 bucks. I don't think in any case I may pay more than 25 bucks for a book. And doctor deepest Qualys and maybe big beyond belief. We're a little more expensive, but not much, you know, and here's the other important point.

[00:52:50] Every book that I just mentioned to you, I still have today. I still have them as information sources, both for myself and [00:53:00] also in passing down to my son and others. And so whatever you do, and wherever you decide to put your money. I encourage you to evaluate things as a return on investment, because whether it's 30 days or 30 years after you invest in something, you should be closer to your goals after dropping that money.

[00:53:25] Very simple return on investment.

[00:53:27] Carl Lanore: [00:53:27] Want to stay with me through this next segment, where I'm going to talk about the whole mask conundrum. Or do you need?

[00:53:34] Coach Rob Regish: [00:53:34] Yeah, it's very pertinent to me cause my gym opens next Monday.

[00:53:39] Carl Lanore: [00:53:39] Okay. All right. We're going to take a quick commercial break. When we come back, I want to address something.

[00:53:43] You know, I'm a, I'm a huge fan of critical thinking. I try to,

[00:53:49] Coach Rob Regish: [00:53:49] uh,

[00:53:49] Carl Lanore: [00:53:49] exemplify opportunities of critical thinking. Not because I want you to take my opinion. And stand with me or stand against me, but because [00:54:00] I want people just to start thinking critically so that you can make your own choices in life instead of having other people dictate your choices

[00:54:06] Coach Rob Regish: [00:54:06] in life.

[00:54:07] Carl Lanore: [00:54:07] Um, hell that's freedom,

[00:54:09] Coach Rob Regish: [00:54:09] by the way,

[00:54:11] Carl Lanore: [00:54:11] critical, critical thinking is your first, uh, uh, example of personal freedom thinking on your own and making your own choices. So we're gonna talk about masks when we come back. Uh, so stay tuned. You are watching the blueprint power hour. We'll be right back.

[00:54:29] Coach Rob Regish: [00:54:29] This is the superhuman channel

[00:54:31] Carl Lanore: [00:54:31] doing

[00:54:32] Coach Rob Regish: [00:54:32] reps with the weight of the world.

[00:54:38] Carl Lanore: [00:54:38] welcome back. Right? So like all of my critical thinking discussions on this show, this one move quickly. So keep up. 40,000 people a month die from cigarette smoking in the United States.

[00:54:53] Coach Rob Regish: [00:54:53] That's a pretty big

[00:54:54] Carl Lanore: [00:54:54] number. We think about that at 40,000 people a month die [00:55:00] as a direct result of sucking smoke into their lungs 20 times a day for years.

[00:55:08] Coach Rob Regish: [00:55:08] Okay.

[00:55:09] Carl Lanore: [00:55:09] Big number, right Rob.

[00:55:11] Coach Rob Regish: [00:55:11] Absolutely. Okay.

[00:55:13] Carl Lanore: [00:55:13] Now that's not including the number of people who were impacted by secondhand smoke, which I. Took the time to look up just now and according to the CDC website, 41,000 deaths per year are result of secondhand smoke. 733 from lung cancer, attributed to someone else in their household that smoke and 33,951 annual deaths from heart disease.

[00:55:37] As a result of inhaling the smoke that someone else. Now, the reason I'm distinguishing these two is because. When we talk about masks, the reason to wear a mask keeps changing. Originally it was to wear a mask so you wouldn't get the virus, then it became wear a mask. So you don't give the virus to other people.

[00:55:58] And obviously that's assuming you're [00:56:00] sick and are asymptomatic because. There's a five to 11 day incubation period, where if you have been exposed to the virus, but you don't have symptoms yet that you are still contagious. So we're talking about a very narrow period of time, right? And it's very small subset of people who are asymptomatic for a period of time.

[00:56:22] And the argument is you wear a mask for other people, not for yourself. If you don't wear a mask, then you don't care about other people. In fact, I had somebody telling me that I may as well tell people F you, if I don't want to wear a mask, I'm basically saying F you to them by not wearing a mask. And there's a lot of people.

[00:56:40] Um, recently Elisa got shamed at a trader Joe's by to a checkout clerk. She went right to the manager. She's not letting that stuff

[00:56:47] Coach Rob Regish: [00:56:47] slide. Shane.

[00:56:50] Carl Lanore: [00:56:50] Yeah. You know? Oh, you know, cause they, they refuse to talk to her. They stepped back. When she walked up, they stepped back. Now keep in mind, they had masks on, they had masks on, they stepped [00:57:00] back and they wouldn't talk to her.

[00:57:01] She was talking to them. They wouldn't even talk. They just look down. Meanwhile, the person in front, they will all laughing it up and join it up. But they all had masks on. So she went to the manager and said something. The manager went over and talked to them and you could see that they were nodding their head.

[00:57:13] Yes. You know? Well, she didn't have a mask

[00:57:15] Coach Rob Regish: [00:57:15] on.

[00:57:17] Carl Lanore: [00:57:17] So, so now people are being shamed for not wearing masks. Now, the reason I'm pointing out the second hand smoke is because smokers make other people sick too. So this whole notion that wearing a mask is for other people. Well, not smoking is for other people, too.

[00:57:31] Okay. But as soon as you start comparing cigarettes smoking to wearing a mask, people start to say, well, cigarette smoking is a choice. Catching a virus is an, a choice. No, you're right. But choosing to wear a mask is a choice and I can choose to wear a mask or not. I am the master of my destiny. I am the captain of my ship.

[00:57:54] If I want to take risks, have unprotected sex. Oh God forbid. I'm allowed to do that here in the [00:58:00] United States. If I want to eat raw meat, go eat raw fish at a sushi bar. I'm allowed to do that here in the United States, I can put myself at risk. I can take my whole family to the sushi bar and put them at risk to no problem.

[00:58:11] But if I don't wear a mask, I am somehow. Uh, not considerate of other people. No, I'm not arguing whether or not master effective or not. I'll leave that for the idiots. And why do I say idiots? Because we have the surgeon general of the United States coming on national TV, telling everybody mast a worthless, they actually may make you more prone to getting the virus.

[00:58:34] And then you have other groups out there publishing studies using anecdotal information and saying, no masks do work. I don't care about that. I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna. Uh, uh, I'm not going to get into that argument. All I'm trying to do is point out the lack of critical thinking in our population.

[00:58:53] Cigarette smoking not only hurts the person who's smoking, but also the people that they live with. And it's a big [00:59:00] number. It's 40,000 people a month. Now, why isn't anyone posting memes? Every day about cigarettes. Why isn't somebody posting memes going? Don't start smoking. You're going to make your young child sick.

[00:59:16] Do it for them. Don't start smoking you. You're costing us more money for healthcare. Why is no one posting memes about cigarette smoke? You know why that is Rob? No idea. What's the media. Hasn't told them to be upset about it. That's why,

[00:59:32] Coach Rob Regish: [00:59:32] what I was going to say, why, why is it the only place that I'm hearing?

[00:59:36] This is on superhuman radio and not the world news

[00:59:39] Carl Lanore: [00:59:39] because the media doesn't see. So people don't realize this, but if you're not a critical thinker, you have traded your brain for a receiver so that the media can tweak you every single day. That okay. Today, be mad about this blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, tomorrow.

[00:59:57] We'll be mad about that. Oh, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Today. Be [01:00:00] bad about it. Why isn't the media telling you every, if someone starts smoking, they are hurting all of us. They're hurting us directly by exposing us to their cigarette smoke. They're hurting us indirectly because those bills that they will incur to keep them alive and try to save them from their own stupidity will be borne by the rest of us who pay for health insurance.

[01:00:21] Why does it the media talk about this? Now, if you're a critical thinker, you have to ask yourself why that is is 40,000 deaths a month. Not enough to garner the attention of the media when 40,000 deaths over the course of months is it makes no sense. When you add up all the deaths from tobacco over the past 50 years, here's it's millions, millions, and millions and millions.

[01:00:49] Yeah, the media doesn't seem to care about that. They don't think you should worry about it either.

[01:00:55] Coach Rob Regish: [01:00:55] And you know, and in the past 20 to 25 years, [01:01:00] the mainstream media has been very effective at programing people as to what is good, what is bad, what you should like, what you should not like. And, you know, I, I only wish there were more.

[01:01:17] Sources of information like this, where we had people who, which you do, which is think critically about a subject. And when you do realize like some of the stats that you just put out, you see the absurdity,

[01:01:34] Carl Lanore: [01:01:34] it is absurd. We don't care about 40,000 people a month, but, but you know, wear a mask because it means you care.

[01:01:40] Well, you know what? I think that anytime you see a person who smoked cigarettes, you should go up to them and chastise them and shame them and say, you're hurting everybody by doing that. But you won't see that because the media. Doesn't want you to be mad about that. That's not what they want you to be mad about you and your brain.

[01:01:55] Your brain has become a receiver. It's become a receiver for the media message. [01:02:00] So tomorrow you're going to be angry about something else. And the day after that, they're going to tweak you about something else. And you're an idiot. If you do, if you let them do that, I'm sorry. It's the God's honest truth.

[01:02:10] I'm going to hurt some feelings, but you are an idiot. If you are a part of it. This is, uh, this is, uh, a charade that's being foisted upon the American public and the media. Is jerking our chains because they can, and by controlling us, they control where we look and by controlling where we look, they can sell us things and they can make us do things.

[01:02:31] And it's terrible. So don't tell me about masks anymore. I don't want to hear about mess. I'll wear it. If they ma if it's mandatory, I have to go in someplace to put on a mask. I put on this little thing here, people have said to me, you know, that doesn't work and I've looked at them wearing those green, um, masks.

[01:02:47] That they, uh, that they give you at the dentist office. Those don't work either. It says right on the box that it's no good for preventing viral spread. So th so my, my mass that doesn't work is just as good as your mess that doesn't work, except mine, I think is a little more [01:03:00] stylish. You just had, you have a problem with the gyms in your town, right?

[01:03:05] The gym in, uh, in Rob's hometown. Cause he just found, yeah, they they're going to want, they want you to wear a mask while you're training. Right. Right.

[01:03:12] Coach Rob Regish: [01:03:12] And so what, so what's preferable here. Somebody doesn't get enough oxygen perhaps passes out or worse, or yeah, they wore a mask and therefore everyone feels better about themselves.

[01:03:25] I, you know, it doesn't make any sense. Um, it would make it, it would make more sense if we had more people talking like you are inciting facts like you are, which by the way, Are undeniable. It's not an opinion, 40,000 people a month die.

[01:03:44] Carl Lanore: [01:03:44] That's the CDCs number.

[01:03:47] Coach Rob Regish: [01:03:47] And it's probably, frankly, it's probably understated.

[01:03:50] I don't know how many people die or suffer because of secondhand smoke, but a lot of them do. And they're going to continue to [01:04:00] suffer. Generally speaking, I think the mass media does. Everything it can to sway the opinion of the public to whatever narrative it is that they want to accomplish. And they continue to do it until they get there.

[01:04:17] Carl Lanore: [01:04:17] Absolutely. You know what? Keith Bell, who's been on my show. He's a microbiome guy, very, very smart guy. He posted something on Facebook this morning. There's more and more evidence coming out every week that. This COVID SARS to was created in a VI in a lab manmade. Now there's, there's numerous papers coming out, even from inside China, that it was created in a lab.

[01:04:43] And most of them likely accidentally escaped. Have you heard that on MSNBC, CNN? Uh, NBC, CBS, uh, wherever you get your, the news from D have you heard that lately?

[01:04:57] Coach Rob Regish: [01:04:57] No it's other people's fault.

[01:05:00] [01:05:00] Carl Lanore: [01:05:00] So this is my point. So if they don't report the news anymore, they, they, they control what you pay attention to.

[01:05:09] They, for some reason, they don't want you to know about that. They don't want to pay, they don't want you to pay attention to it. For whatever reason don't ask me why. I don't know what the agenda is and what the mission is. All I know is that. If you watch the news day in and day out, you will plotted write it down.

[01:05:25] What are you pissed off today about? Oh, uh, Antifa, whatever it is, write it, write it down every day, do it for a month and then go back and look at it. The headlines in the media, those days you were told to be pissed off about those things. You are a cl you know, you're a PSAT.

[01:05:40] Coach Rob Regish: [01:05:40] We are, we are miles and miles away from when Walter Cronkite was the most trusted.

[01:05:46] One of the most trusted man in America. And today they don't even attempt to a massive right. Right. I mean, they're, they're pretty transparent now. Hey, this is the [01:06:00] narrative that we're selling that we're selling and sooner or later you're buying, they don't even pretend to be objective. That's a little disturbing.

[01:06:09] That should be disturbing to anyone who is concerned with the truth. If you have a media that doesn't even pretend to be objective anymore, that is step one. In Nazi Germany. Was it not?

[01:06:25] Carl Lanore: [01:06:25] Yes, because, because Hitler took over the media, he wanted his information to be put out there. He knew that if he had the lies repeated frequently enough, they would be accepted as facts.

[01:06:35] And the media worked hand in hand in that process. And they're doing it again here. Whether you want to know it or not. Now, you don't have to get into the fight with the media. All you need to do is understand that your reactions to them is exactly what they want. So stop reacting to them. Let them go, let them go control other people.

[01:06:53] Coach Rob Regish: [01:06:53] Someone said once, um, you don't need to change the world. You just need to change your own little corner

[01:07:00] [01:06:59] Carl Lanore: [01:06:59] of it. That's it. And you know what? The funny thing is, I know people, I know people who are so successful so wealthy, they don't pay attention to any of this. And guess what their world is the same day in and day out.

[01:07:12] They're not being affected by what's going on in Detroit and not be because the reality is. You're not affected in your life by 90% of what you get mad about 90% that gets your ass, puck it up. That you're pissed off that did you here's so, and so's going to do this. And did you hear such and such going to do that?

[01:07:30] No effect on your life. Meanwhile, you waste valuable energy, processing it and reacting to it. See, it's an evolution. One thing, it's an evolutionary edict for us to be able to identify danger in our environment. Is there an animal that wants to eat us? Is there poison that we may, that was that's part of our evolution.

[01:07:51] That's what keeps us alive. What has changed is in the past, we only had to worry about these 30 feet around us. [01:08:00] Now we're getting fed information from, from, from Argentina and from Venezuela. And it's getting us excited. Like the danger is right here in our environment and it's not.

[01:08:14] Coach Rob Regish: [01:08:14] I became so disgusted about two months ago, I shut it all off.

[01:08:20] And you know what? My life is no different than it was two months ago before I sent it off,

[01:08:25] Carl Lanore: [01:08:25] I stopped watching the news, all of it. I stopped watching any of it. All of it. The only thing I do is every night Elisa and I watch one hour of TV and it's a, it's a British broadcasting special called Grantchester.

[01:08:37] We just found this series is five seasons with, through to we watch one hour and we do not get caught up in the news at all. I don't want, I used to love certain shows. On the news. I refuse to watch him anymore because I refuse to allow them any disc space on this hard drive. I won't do

[01:08:55] Coach Rob Regish: [01:08:55] it. That's a, that's a very interesting point.

[01:08:57] And I guess this will be my last one. [01:09:00] Um, sit down sometime and watch the BBC or some foreign news channel and then compare and contrast that to the news that's reported or not reported as the case may be in the United States. Uh, that should tell you everything that you need to know about our quote unquote, uh, news news media in this country.

[01:09:23] Carl Lanore: [01:09:23] You know, we have freedom of the press, but they've taken that too far. So, I'm not saying censor the press, I'm saying unsensitive, press look at what the media is, focusing on, delivering, look at what they're ignoring. And if it's blatant that they're ignoring things that are important to people just to be able to control their opinions, then those media outlets should be punished somehow.

[01:09:47] I don't know how, but freedom of the press became see, it used to be freedom of the press to tell whatever they want. Yeah. Now it's freedom of the press. I only tell what they want. Sure.

[01:10:00] [01:10:00] Coach Rob Regish: [01:10:00] That's it.

[01:10:01] Carl Lanore: [01:10:01] We'll see you tomorrow with more superhuman radio. Thanks for being here.  dot com. Check it out. .
