[00:00:00] Carl Lanore: [00:00:00] the magic of digital video. Yo, did you see me move the background just now? Because it was creeping. Welcome back to another episode of super human radio. Today is September 8th, 2020. Today is Tuesday. We're starting the week off on a Tuesday. Cause yesterday was a holiday and we're starting the week off with coach Rob register.

[00:00:18] Just a moment with the blueprint power hour. But of course, before we do that, we have to pay a tribute to our title sponsor, legendary foods. Uh, the website is legendary.com. If you go there, use the code SHR 10 to save 10% off all of your legendary foods purchases. And, uh, they're coming out with some amazing new tasty pastries.

[00:00:40] I've gotten a glimpse behind the curtain and these flavors are just bizarre. I mean like decadent delicious. Combinations that you've always wished wished that a pop tart would come in. They're going to be coming as tasty pastries, which is nine grams of protein, less [00:01:00] than one gram of sugar. You'll love them, check them out, show them some love.

[00:01:04] Also, uh, before we get underway, has superhuman radio affected you in any way? Maybe I'm scary cause you not to have good sleep because you have nightmares of my wrinkly face

[00:01:17] Coach Rob Regish: [00:01:17] coming into your dreams.

[00:01:19] Carl Lanore: [00:01:19] Or maybe the show, um, has taught you something that you you use today and you benefit from whatever it is.

[00:01:26] Tell me your superhuman radio story. Go to SHR network.biz/your story upload. Okay. Less than three minute video. And, uh, we will use it. Even if you say something bad about me, we will use it. I promise you. I'm waiting for someone to say something insulting his Rob's music. Hold on. I'm waiting for someone calling all

[00:01:48] Coach Rob Regish: [00:01:48] blueprint, army

[00:01:49] Carl Lanore: [00:01:49] fall in line.

[00:01:50] It's time for the blueprint

[00:01:52] Coach Rob Regish: [00:01:52] power hour

[00:01:53] Carl Lanore: [00:01:53] with coach Rodriguez on the superhuman radio network.

[00:01:57] Coach Rob Regish: [00:01:57] How you doing Rob? I'm doing [00:02:00] great. I can't believe you have a shortage of material they'll criticize. Yeah,

[00:02:04] Carl Lanore: [00:02:04] I know. I say I say so many stupid things. I mean, there's gotta be somebody out there who thinks I'm a jerk.

[00:02:10] I know there are a lot of people that they come to jerk

[00:02:11] Coach Rob Regish: [00:02:11] the truth. Well, my thought was as soon as you know, what happens as soon as you make it there, the haters start coming out of the woodwork. So, you know, I'm sure they're out there. It's just the matter two and

[00:02:24] Carl Lanore: [00:02:24] 2006, it was a guy out in California. He was a personal trainer.

[00:02:30] He had a queen following at that time. Um, and his name was swole cat, SW O L E K a T or C H T. I forgot. He was a Latino guy and I was, excuse me. I was still on clear channel at this time. And he sent me the most insulting email. I was shocked. He said I was an idiot. I didn't know what I was talking about.

[00:02:53] He's going to kick my ass if he ever sees me. I mean, we'll hold this stuff. Right? So Anthony Ray, I told Anthony Roberts [00:03:00] about it. He goes, I know the guy he got, he says the guy's a jerk. And he said, but Hey, he said, you should feel good. I said, why? He goes, you have your first hater. That means that you made it.

[00:03:10] And so swell was my first hater. Sadly. I learned that some years ago he passed away.

[00:03:17] Coach Rob Regish: [00:03:17] Yeah. I was going to ask you whatever the heck happened. I remember him. I remember. I think he was doing customized training and diet plans.

[00:03:25] Carl Lanore: [00:03:25] He was that's right? Yeah.

[00:03:27] Coach Rob Regish: [00:03:27] Yeah. A friend of mine took them up on that, but, um, yeah.

[00:03:30] I was wondering what happened to him and animal and some of the other guys that were running boards back then.

[00:03:35] Carl Lanore: [00:03:35] Yeah. Yeah. He passed away. It said I'm sad. I mean, I didn't want anything bad to happen to the guy obviously, but yeah, he, he, he he's gone and, uh, Now I don't have my hater. I'm sure there's other hate is that of taking his place?

[00:03:49] They would talk bad about them. You got some let's see, uh, Clifton says, imagine that a guy identifying as swole [00:04:00] is a douche. Yeah, I know. Right. Just go figure a lot of people call themselves, refer to themselves as swole, the heads of swole

[00:04:09] Coach Rob Regish: [00:04:09] that's what's so what's new with you, right? You know, um, Not a lot of training.

[00:04:16] It's still going well, the chin ups, the chin up program that I concluded last week was by far the best one I've ever done. So, uh, I was happy to bring that to, you know, the bullet and folks last month. And I haven't even more intriguing one coming up this month. So they're, you know, there's, there's always a training article in there because nothing stimulates muscle growth.

[00:04:39] Other than the overload and training. Uh, so it's important. And I don't know, I just like finding these gems, you know, they're out there, but it's just a matter of sifting through all

[00:04:48] Carl Lanore: [00:04:48] I trained four days in a row, every body part. Okay. Today is my first day I'm taking off and [00:05:00] yesterday Elisa and I went on a hike, uh, some place called the falls of the Ohio.

[00:05:07] And I almost fell. I absolutely almost fell into the falls of the Ohio. The falls of the Ohio is the starting point for the Lewis and Clark experts. It's says Thorek, it's where they started to go West. And it was all fossils there that falls of the Ohio, because the glacier came through. I don't know how many millions years ago and carved this path into the stone.

[00:05:32] And so we went there to see the fossils, but after training my legs for days in a row, you know, and, and, and this is me, right? I am a douche. I'm a douche because I go from not training at all to overdoing it. That's why I tear muscle, you know, because I'm the poster child for what not to do, but I trained four days in a row and I've been doing 250 micro grams of, uh, IGF one E mechanical growth factor, three [00:06:00] times a day.

[00:06:01] And I felt like I could have trained this morning. I gotta be honest with you. And I took over

[00:06:05] Coach Rob Regish: [00:06:05] when he goes in to make sure I understand you did legs for days.

[00:06:08] Carl Lanore: [00:06:08] Well, I did, I did whole body. I did whole body. I did shoulders four days in a row chest back. Um, I don't do anything direct biceps and triceps, but I do a lot of pushing and pulling and get a load of this.

[00:06:22] I squatted yesterday with the hip belt squat, and I like pressed after that. And I haven't trained legs with any real, um, uh, uh, intensity for probably the better part of a year, at least a year, maybe longer. So naturally when we went walking and hiking, and then I have my, my Caterpillar steel toe boots on each one of them weighs like three and a half pounds.

[00:06:45] And so we went hiking and my legs were when I got home last night, I sat down on the sofa. I don't think I moved for three hours. I just didn't even want to stand up after

[00:06:52] Coach Rob Regish: [00:06:52] that.

[00:06:54] Carl Lanore: [00:06:54] That was great. I feel great.

[00:06:57] Coach Rob Regish: [00:06:57] That was really five days in a row.

[00:06:59] Carl Lanore: [00:06:59] Yeah, I [00:07:00] could, I could have, I could have trained this morning if I want.

[00:07:04] Coach Rob Regish: [00:07:04] Wow. That's you know, it's, it's all about experimentation, right?

[00:07:09] Carl Lanore: [00:07:09] So Joseph Bissell, I'm going to ask you for a huge favor brother. He said, call Carl, show his hands down. My single most important source of help and training advice. I was talking yesterday about call and Rob talking about GH for regrowing cartilage in my joints.

[00:07:25] Yes. Why don't you do me a favor, Joe. Look at your phone and just say that it'll take 15 seconds and then upload it to SHR network.biz/your story. Do me that favor please. And your words, please. Thank you. Um, yeah, I mean, look, I am a big fan of peptides and I know which peptides work for what and mechanical growth factor.

[00:07:51] If you're training and over-training. 250 micrograms, two or three times a day. You will see magic. You will see your body bounce back so [00:08:00] much faster than without it. So.

[00:08:03] Coach Rob Regish: [00:08:03] Be nice regrew cartilage, but I guess only GH does that, right?

[00:08:07] Carl Lanore: [00:08:07] Yeah, it does. And, and, you know, grow hormone is magic too. I mean, people over overuse it and they abuse it, but it's magic too.

[00:08:14] There's no doubt about it. I let's get onto the first question at hand. This one comes from Tommy King. Cause I thought you made an interesting point a few weeks ago. The one about joint supplements being a lot more successful at what they do compared to muscle building supplements. And it is true. Well, someone with no injuries though.

[00:08:34] Do joint supplements hold any real value?

[00:08:38] Coach Rob Regish: [00:08:38] Yeah. You know, this is a really interesting question. So if you had asked me even just, just a few years ago, uh, this question I would have told you no. And I can even vividly remember in my, probably my late twenties, I was reading about glucosamine and some of these other joint products that people were having success success [00:09:00] with.

[00:09:01] Um, but concluding at the time, you know, why would I use them? I don't have any injuries. I mean, I guess. I know on one level that's that's logical. Um, but again, if you asked me that question today, I would tell you the answer is a resounding. Yes. And here's why. So let's take Glucosomine as our reference standard, right?

[00:09:23] It's the one that's most widely known, probably the most widely used, uh, take a listen to just some of these study headlines, many of which are still being written Glucosomine life, extension drug by virtue of its ability to mimic a low carb diet. Glucosomine the amino sugar. That protects against deadly heart attacks and cancer.

[00:09:45] And they see a low Glucosomine accelerates production of muscle fibers. We were close to me and protects against lung and colon cancer, which yours truly, because of some testing I had done, I have the gene for. [00:10:00] So it becomes all the more important now consider what we know about another well known joint protector slash anti-inflammatory fish oil.

[00:10:11] Right. There's something that's more commonly used than glucose. To me, that's probably fish oil. And if ever there was a supplement with a body of research behind it, showing benefits, it's this stuff. Right. Understand that light glucosamine fish oil also has other interesting properties, things that are important to bodybuilders, like.

[00:10:34] Uh, improved body composition. Now it's not going to happen overnight. It's probably not going to happen on, you know, two soft gels a day. I tried to take. Um, but if you eat enough fish and, or take enough fish oil, you will see a pretty profound difference, uh, in at least your levels of body fat, given the same calorie levels, the same carbs and so on and so forth.

[00:10:57] So all things being equal. [00:11:00] High dose fish oil is another quote unquote joint supplement that contributes, um, to. Bodybuilding, you know, body comp, improved body composition. Let's call it something else. Uh, people take to improve joint function and keep inflammation down is curcumin. And you probably remember the, the, uh, the headline, um, curriculum, you know, natural Clenbuterol.

[00:11:28] Well,

[00:11:28] Carl Lanore: [00:11:28] what about, what about the study that was done on the, uh, curcumin with the C3 curcumin from ? They did a study about eight years ago that showed that taking three grams. Of the C3 curcumin post-workout improve protein, synthetic response to training

[00:11:48] Coach Rob Regish: [00:11:48] and, and, and that list goes, that list goes on and on, by the way.

[00:11:52] Uh, and in particular, I'm talking about, we know curcumin plus fish oil is dynamite. [00:12:00] It's probably the best over-the-counter anti catabolic. You can take. Um, given it's been shown to virtually arrest a lot of the muscle loss. During prolonged periods of inactivity. And I'm thinking back in my case too, um, rhabdo.

[00:12:15] So I was put on the shelf or many, many months, um, let you know more months than I had ever taken off. And while it's true, then I lost some strength while I was out of the gym. Uh, my, my measurement is not changed one iota, nothing. Your mind will play tricks with you. But at the end of the day, the tape measure doesn't lie.

[00:12:39] Right? The circles around my arms, chest and legs were the same size. And then also goes from my waistline. So,

[00:12:49] Carl Lanore: [00:12:49] well, I wanna, I wanna, I want to jump in here for a second. Since we're talking about curcumin and fish oil, just for a second.

[00:12:54] Coach Rob Regish: [00:12:54] Yup.

[00:12:55] Carl Lanore: [00:12:55] Nothing is black and white and people who search for black and white, miss everything.

[00:13:01] [00:13:00] And young individuals, they don't have a problem with recovery and they don't have chronic inflammation that we develop. As we get older, it's in the it's unavoidable. We're going to develop chronic inflammation. As we get older, we do know about older people who train is because their body is constantly at a Def con too.

[00:13:23] When they train muscles, don't recover as fast because. The body is like putting all these other fires out and it can't pay attention to the bicep that you want to grow. So we know from studies that end sets taken by adult trainers, improve the protein sedative, synthetic response, as opposed to young trainers where it stalls the protein synthetic response.

[00:13:49] So keep that, just, just stay with that for a second fish oil. Or SPM actives from, uh, from Metagenics. Uh, [00:14:00] uh, this is a very concentrated form of fish oil, just the resolving and curcumin. These are resolving what they do differently than sets and sets. Turn inflammation off fish oil and curcumin. Don't turn it off.

[00:14:18] They speed it to it's. It's final steps. They resolve inflammation. They don't suppress inflammation. So think of it this way. As you get older curcumin and fish oil are your friends because they will keep you growing. They will keep you growing because they, they shut off all of the chronic inflammatory signals.

[00:14:40] So the body can focus on the protein. So that synthetic response to the muscles you just hit is gold. Now I do that for young people, probably not. That's why don't get stuck in black and white with like, like Joel green. Likes to say baby talk. Oh, fish oil. Good. Oh, fish oil. Bad.

[00:14:59] Coach Rob Regish: [00:14:59] It's [00:15:00] both.

[00:15:00] Carl Lanore: [00:15:00] It's both. Go ahead.

[00:15:02] Coach Rob Regish: [00:15:02] Yeah, well, no, I was just gonna say, even, you can obviously see the pattern here. So called joint supplements. Are in reality, better at building muscle and stripping body fat than most products reported to build muscle and stripped body fat. It's just. You know, they're looked at differently and I think we need to start looking at them with a more critical eye.

[00:15:26] Uh, I have come across two of them, additional ones that I think are going to be dynamite in combination. Uh, that remains to be seen though, I'm using them right now, or this week provided that pans out. Uh, put it this way. You'll be hearing about it. I'm really excited about it. It's come times. Um, you end up having to look in the oddest places, right.

[00:15:52] Versus, um, where you think you would have to look like a lot of the research, uh, on, uh, let's say fat [00:16:00] loss was originally seen in ketogenic diets, given to epileptic children.

[00:16:06] Carl Lanore: [00:16:06] Yeah, they got ripped and lean

[00:16:09] Coach Rob Regish: [00:16:09] trying to strengthen.

[00:16:12] Carl Lanore: [00:16:12] The other thing you got to remember is building muscle requires soft tissue creation, too, right?

[00:16:16] The soft tissue of a muscle is the walls. So if you want to, if you want to put more furniture in the room, you got to make the room bigger in order to make the room bigger, you gotta move the walls. You gotta make them bigger and longer. So things like glucosamine and chondroitin, things like collagen. Uh, very, very underestimated in the muscle building, uh, effect.

[00:16:38] Let's take a question from a live viewer right now, Eric Swanee. So Eric says maybe, yeah, too late to get this one in, but for another week, we're going to get it. What's your opinion of the effectiveness of other peptides as nasal sprays? For example, the picture below popped up in my feed, not talking about this various [00:17:00] quality.

[00:17:00] Uh, because I have no clue about their source. Okay. So the question is the viability and efficacy of intranasally delivered peptides. Yes, they work, they work, they do work, but they preferentially work on the brain first. So, so it's better suited to use intra nasal delivery for peptides that you absolutely want to get to your brain as well as systemic.

[00:17:29] I use intra-nasal mulatto 10 to 50 micrograms a morning, 25 micrograms in each nostril. It doesn't tan me anymore, but I use it as a nootropic. I feel it like after I take it within 15, 20 seconds, I feel awake. If it makes me feel good, you can also use BPC one 57. That way you could use PT one 41. That way you can use thymus and beta four, that way you can use any peptide that way.

[00:17:57] However, Just understand [00:18:00] that the majority of it is going to get to the brain first, before it gets delivered systemically.

[00:18:05] Coach Rob Regish: [00:18:05] Yeah. I think you hit the nail on the head. Um, it, it depends on the compound. Um, those things that work in the brain and quickly, and in particular stimulate the central nervous system would be probably the best application.

[00:18:19] Do you remember? Uh, there was an intra-nasal. DHT products back when pro hormones were legal, it was five out, five alpha something or other,

[00:18:30] Carl Lanore: [00:18:30] I bet that woke your brain up.

[00:18:32] Coach Rob Regish: [00:18:32] Oh man, I tell you before big lift, it was, it was better than, you know, your typical stimulants, even though it was an androgen and not technically a stimulant.

[00:18:43] Um, you take it orally. It didn't do much, at least not that I saw, but man, you put it in an intra-nasal and now that's a different, that's a different situation, much, uh, better for, like I said, central nervous system related [00:19:00] products hits faster. I don't think, I don't think it lasts longer in the system, although that probably depends on compound to on the compound.

[00:19:09] Carl Lanore: [00:19:09] Uh, the next question comes from Gary Carr, PEDA capita. He says, what do you think about super slow lifting protocols? I remember a book years ago saying it was the greatest thing ever. I even bought the book. Just never tried it. Is it worth looking into

[00:19:29] Coach Rob Regish: [00:19:29] this really brought back memories? Cause I know exactly.

[00:19:32] I can still see the book cover. And I can remember how heavily it was promoted, um, excuse me, promoted in the magazines. And so, um, I took a whirl on it. Right. And so is, is it worth looking into, well, let me just first say this, any method. Is worth looking into why, because it shows your willingness, uh, in learning something new or trying [00:20:00] something new as opposed to getting stuck in the 1970s, uh, with the weeder principles.

[00:20:07] You never get out of that. The real question though is, and this goes for any of the training methods. Does this method have a high success rate? In the general population, because everything you know is going to work for maybe some people, but if it's only 5%, right, it's not going to be very good. Having said that, I can tell you, I tried it almost 30 years ago and here are my thoughts.

[00:20:32] First it's some of the toughest training that you will ever do for two reasons. And the only one of them is tough physically reason. Number one, uh, It can be extremely painful. It's extremely painful training, primarily due to lactic acid accumulation. Particularly on big movements like squats, you will learn real fast, which part of the movement that occurs the [00:21:00] most.

[00:21:00] Um, and it's the concentric reason. Number two, uh, is something a little bit different, but it precluded almost everyone from giving you get a fair shake and that's this by lifting super slow. It forces you. To use lighter weights and in most cases, a lot lighter. Right? I mean, think about it.  this is not going to be, Hey, let's slap as much weight on the bar as we can and do five, you know, five super slow reps.

[00:21:29] Know you had to check your ego at the door and use something less than that. So, um, is there merit in it? Sure. But here's the rub. The training that kind of training can cause hypertrophy, but it's due primarily to the extended time under tension. It puts your muscles under. So if you're performing squats in super slow fashion, which is to say, uh, five seconds up, five seconds down, why do you have even been [00:22:00] longer than that?

[00:22:01] And, yeah, he

[00:22:02] Carl Lanore: [00:22:02] was fine really slower than five seconds. Was, it

[00:22:05] Coach Rob Regish: [00:22:05] was,

[00:22:06] Carl Lanore: [00:22:06] I mean, it was ridiculously slow. There's a lot of evidence at that time on detention only matters when you're trying to move fast when you're trying, like when you're trying to move fast and you're not able to. As opposed to purposely moving slow, but

[00:22:22] Coach Rob Regish: [00:22:22] go ahead.

[00:22:23] I'm sorry. I don't recall the exact time under tension, but let's say it's, you know, 50 to 60 seconds a minute. That's a lot longer than what most people will do in your typical five rep set. So, uh, you know, of course, as a new stimulus, it's going to stimulate some growth. Here's the thing, though. You could get the same time under tension by doing 15 to 20 reps per step.

[00:22:49] With a different weight, but like you said, I'm moving in at a more typical rep cadence. So there are ways there are different ways to skin this cat, [00:23:00] uh, and I'm not convinced this was the best way there were other negatives, negatives. Like, uh, you will find yourself unless you're using a metronome or somebody else's timing it for you.

[00:23:13] You're going to count faster. As the lactic acid. Right? Right. Um, and by deliberately slowing down the positive part of the movement, you're teaching yourself to be slow, slow, second team speed kills in a good way. Alright. So fast athletes are generally. Much better and more explosive athletes and being able to generate maximum power of which speed is obviously a component at the drop of a hat is important in my opinion.

[00:23:49] So for those and other reasons I mentioned this method usually failed more often than not in the real world. So the real take home and so far has rep speed. [00:24:00] Uh, is this. I would shoot for at least a three second negative. You might want to, you might want to say five seconds because like I said before, and you're going to count fast.

[00:24:11] And so this way we wind up at three, maybe. So three second negative. Yeah. And then, um, Sanford part, you as explosive. As possible. So why the slightly exaggerated East centric? Well, there's at least one study out there showing that people that did that, um, built, uh, three times the amount of strength and five times the amount of muscle over the months that they track them.

[00:24:41] Then those that just let the weight drop or use a one second East century. So. I think that's something that we can all agree right. Is a really good thing. Three times more muscle, five times more, you know, strength or vice versa. Um, and my recommendation then would be if you're [00:25:00] gonna play with tempo, shoot for three to five second negative and be as explosive on the positive as possible.

[00:25:10] Carl Lanore: [00:25:10] We just did a show. Um, last month, maybe it was the month before for rehab. It showed that rehabbing a muscle that the, uh, slow negative was the most important thing they had patients that were having rehab done. Um, take a weight that they could slowly elongate the muscle. And then they were held back up into position and all they did was the negative and the muscle recovered faster and built.

[00:25:41] Uh, and, and the girl came on and said, it's a fallacy that heavy, negative damage muscle. They don't damage it. They checked for the material lights have damaged muscle fiber. And they said that heavy negatives do not damage muscle to a greater degree than traditional reps. The other thing that you have to remember [00:26:00] is if, if building muscle size is important to you, the pump is important

[00:26:04] Coach Rob Regish: [00:26:04] to you.

[00:26:06] Carl Lanore: [00:26:06] Because the pump is which stretches the facia of the muscle. We're talking about the walls again, right? You want the muscle to get bigger. You got to make the room bigger. And the pump is what stretches the facia of the muscle, but also produces intramuscular growth factors that helps to speed along the healing and recovery and protein, synthetic response to that training that happens when you are pumping the muscle.

[00:26:31] Coach Rob Regish: [00:26:31] And that's the muscle, the muscle

[00:26:33] Carl Lanore: [00:26:33] filling up with blood. It's filling up with lactate and it can't get it out fast enough. So the phenomenon, muscle congestion occurs. This is emphasized. If you use be strong bands to train with, you're getting that pump. Even with lightweight, it makes them also grow. You don't get that with super slow.

[00:26:53] You don't get it. You just don't.

[00:26:55] Coach Rob Regish: [00:26:55] Yeah. Um, and that, that whole, um, stretching that, that you [00:27:00] just pointed out that also happens with loaded stretching. Um, and I went into that in the original blueprint on the magic of loaded stretch movements, which is another topic for another day, but I'll certainly grant you.

[00:27:14] Of those two methods. Most people would prefer to pump a muscle than to do the kind of loaded stretching, which is, which can be very painful. If you're familiar. For example, with DC training. Uh, it's a big component of it and I would encourage you to at least try it, you know, try it more, try everything once, you know,

[00:27:35] Carl Lanore: [00:27:35] Carrie Harry Kruger is watching live from South Africa.

[00:27:39] She's friends with Andre. We were just talking about Andre this morning. Carrie Carrie says, is it possible to make a nasal spray with BPC one 57? And if so, how, um, and would it be as effective as subcutaneous, which is kind of an adjunct to the question we answered a moment ago? Yes, it is effective. It will work.

[00:27:57] And just go to, uh, my [00:28:00] YouTube channel and I show people how to make their own intra-nasal peptides. Very simple, very, very, so you can make, you can make intra-nasal peptides, literally in minutes and your own home. You have to buy some supplies. You have to buy the, the nasal spray bottles that have the metered sprayer.

[00:28:18] It lets out a 0.1, two milliliters at a time, almost a 10th of an ML per pump. And then you have to do the math and you can use sodium chloride solution for injection. So it has some saline in it. So it's more gentle to the nostril, but has a tiny little bit of benzyl alcohol. So you don't have to worry about a bad bacteria growing in it, and you can make all of your own intra-nasal stuff.

[00:28:42] Cheap, cheap, cheap. You don't have to buy it from these websites. You don't, you don't. We're going to take a quick commercial break. And when we come back, we have lots of questions lining up. From those walking live. We'll get to all your questions. I promise. And we also have plenty of questions to answer from people who mailed them in go to  [00:29:00] dot com.

[00:29:01] In the meantime, we'll be right back with more of the blueprint Palo Alto.

[00:29:06] Coach Rob Regish: [00:29:06] This is the super human channel

[00:29:08] Carl Lanore: [00:29:08] where we use

[00:29:09] Coach Rob Regish: [00:29:09] oxygen for the power of good

[00:29:14] Carl Lanore: [00:29:14] welcome back. I'm going to put up, uh, the, this is the superhuman radio YouTube channel. There are actually two videos. I found quickly one. How to make intra-nasal PT one 41 and one how to make intra-nasal mulatto 10 too. If you go to youtube.com/superhuman radio, you'll find those videos there and you can extrapolate from either or both of those videos, how to make any intra-nasal peptide, any, and the, and they all do work to some degree, um, because everything that goes in your nose gets delivered systemically through the bloodstream.

[00:29:50] So there you go. So the next question comes from his name is withheld. He said, I have some issues below the belt, so to speak I'm a little North [00:30:00] of 40 and have really hard time getting and keeping it up. He's talking about erectile dysfunction here. Is there anything natural that will help also, can you tell me about Viagra and how that works?

[00:30:11] Any side effects?

[00:30:14] Coach Rob Regish: [00:30:14] You know, I'm actually glad somebody came out and asked this question because. Uh, it's something that guys need to talk about. Uh, it's nothing to be ashamed of or laugh at. And so as you'll soon, see, uh, it also may be indicative of a much bigger problem. So first things first, though, the, the inability right together maintain an erection could be due to a number of things.

[00:30:41] Uh, it could be poor blood flow. It could be, you are not sufficiently aroused. It could be you're under a lot of stress or you have anxiety that's causing the issue. I think if there's one thing that I've learned in my 50 years, [00:31:00] uh, on this topic is this a lot of sex is in your head. The brain controls everything, everything.

[00:31:10] And sex is no exception. Now, if you're bored or you're not sure efficiently aroused, you know, then have that discussion with your wife or your girlfriend. Maybe both of them. I've known guys. Uh, obviously a lot of guys that have been married for many, many years that have no interest in sex at all, all, and it's multifaceted, right?

[00:31:34] You met with the same person a long time, you know, it gets, it gets, you get used to it as you age as a male, your testosterone levels decline. That doesn't mean, you know, increasing them as necessarily going to fix things. Uh, so there are a variety of different things. I think that you can do, um, to.

[00:32:00] [00:32:00] Alleviate the problem, but really pinpoint what's going on. Okay. So here's a good example. Uh, if you're married and you have been for a while, and you're not already doing this, have a date night, you know, once a week, maybe once every two weeks, it really does help to jazz things up, right. For most men and women, um, you also may be suffering, uh, Decline in testosterone.

[00:32:29] And it's reached a threshold where that is causing the erectile dysfunction and only a lab test can tell you where you are. I think most males, when they see the list of side effects, they know, you know, whether or not that's that's likely yet, but the issue is that in order to do something about it, medically, uh, you need to demonstrate that you are.

[00:32:56] Below the minimum. So to speak [00:33:00] could also be though, like I said, a lot of stress at work that can do it too. Why will we get back to the mind? You know, if you're not thinking about your partner, uh, and you are thinking about getting fired. Because you didn't finish some project on time then guess what?

[00:33:17] You know, you can't perform. You also get guys that everything is, you know, all the piping is there to make sure everything works, but they have performance anxiety. So if you're worried about getting it up, then guess what? You won't get it up because of that anxiety. So we get now though to Viagara, um, it is probably the best known of the.

[00:33:42] PDE five inhibitors, uh, which causes work. Pardon? I didn't say it, so, okay. So it causes the release of nitric oxide, which of course is, is what's. Um, uh, it's how  product.

[00:34:00] [00:33:59] Carl Lanore: [00:33:59] It's a, it's a basal dilator. And so, so there's the, the spongy portion of the penis is literally a blood, a blood sponge. And these vasal dilators, phosphodiesterase five inhibitors.

[00:34:13] They cause nitric oxide to attract blood into the penis and they make the penis erect, but you can't, but they don't work for everybody. Because if something you said earlier on is, is important, and that is if you have plaque building up in your penis, because you have borderline insulin resistance for the past decade and, you know, He's not paying attention to your health.

[00:34:35] Really? You're not sleeping well. And you start to get plaque buildup in your penis, the blood can't get in. And then, and then you have to turn to ultrasound. If you have plaque buildup in your penis, you have to turn to ultrasound. And there are ways to do that. There are clinics that will do that for you now.

[00:34:51] Coach Rob Regish: [00:34:51] Yeah. But think about it. If it's going on there, then it's probably going on.

[00:34:55] Carl Lanore: [00:34:55] Okay. That's right. That's why they say erectile dysfunction can actually be the Canary in the mind that a [00:35:00] guy has a heart problem. And other thing is. To, to circle back to anxiety for a second. When, when you're really out of shape.

[00:35:08] I mean, like if you couldn't get up and get on a treadmill for an hour and tough it out and walk, then your body will protect your heart. And sex is a very cardio. Strenuous process, especially the orgasm part. Anybody who knows when you all get them, your heart, your heart's pounder, boom, boom, boom, boom. I mean, you, you, you know, it's like the culmination of every system in your body pushing forward.

[00:35:39] And so what you find with a lot of guys who had just to add a shape to have sex is the body protects them. You can get hard, you don't stay hard. Like once you start having sex. Anxiety literally comes over and your penis gets soft. And that's because a lot of times that has more to do with the fact that you are just frigging out of shape.

[00:36:01] [00:36:00] I remember when I was married and I was fat, I noticed I started to climb acts really fast. I couldn't, I couldn't last long. I didn't know what it was. I thought, well, I'm just getting old, but then I was diagnosed with my heart problem and I got in shape. And I was able to ride a bike for hours and I was able to do cardio for hours and it was simple and easy.

[00:36:24] Oh, guess what? My performance in the bedroom went up. You want to improve your performance in the bedroom, improve your cardiovascular conditioning. Cause it, that sexist says sex is just another cardiovascular event.

[00:36:35] Coach Rob Regish: [00:36:35] I was going to say, I think you say that you need to be in good shape to have good sex.

[00:36:40] Right.

[00:36:40] Carl Lanore: [00:36:40] And if you really want to know if your penis is broken, okay. Every night, your body. Goes through a maintenance process with your penis. It's called nocturnal tumescence erections. So you can take a little piece of paper real thin, [00:37:00] right. And make a loop out of it. Put just a tiny bit of scotch tape on it and put it on your flacid penis.

[00:37:05] When you go to sleep, leave you on the, on if you want, wake up in the morning and see if that paper has broken because your penis may get hard. At night while you're asleep, your body's relaxed. You have no stress. And some, some of you know what I'm talking about, some of you will say, I know I get the best directions in the middle of the night, but there's nobody there who enjoy them, but there's nothing, there's nothing wrong with your penis then right.

[00:37:31] Then it's either cardiovascular conditioning is holding you back or you have some severe anxiety. So your penis is filling up at night during the maintenance. Uh, uh, you know, the, the, the, the fire alarm and it locked the doors and act like we have a fire and a penis gets nice and hard, but when you go to have sex, it, doesn't nothing wrong with your penis.

[00:37:51] Now it's in your brain. Now it's in your home.

[00:37:54] Coach Rob Regish: [00:37:54] That's a great example of someone who might think by Agra is the solution. [00:38:00] But it's not because that that's not there blood flow, isn't their real issues. Right. Um, the, the, the other side of the Viagra story is this, and you should know the positives and the negatives, some of the side effects include things like, uh, transient.

[00:38:16] Vision disturbances and some people double vision. In fact, uh, that's probably the worst, the double vision that I've heard. I can imagine. That's, that's very scary. Um, but also it will drop blood pressure. Uh, so you need to be careful if you're not, if you're on other blood pressure type medications, it can be additive.

[00:38:37] So to speak. So finally we get to natural solutions. Are there things that help? Yes, absolutely. I would tell you that a high quality tribulus or fenugreek, um, inclusive of at least 45, 50% for roast and all exceptions helps. And in those saplings, by the [00:39:00] way, work via the same mechanism that Viagra does, they are, um, precursors to nitric oxide.

[00:39:08] One fun fact related to natural alternatives before Viagra, the, the answer for this, the prescription answer was actually based on your Hindi. It was EO Hemi product is either called you embed or you'll you'll you'll wait.

[00:39:25] Carl Lanore: [00:39:25] Well, him being, thinking that it was going to give me some sort of sexual pref advantage, and it just made me clammy and sweaty and feel like crap.

[00:39:34] I don't want

[00:39:34] Coach Rob Regish: [00:39:34] to take

[00:39:35] Carl Lanore: [00:39:35] it. I don't know how people take it.

[00:39:37] Coach Rob Regish: [00:39:37] Even if it does work for you. And in my opinion, the sides are just that they're not pleasant. They don't go along with sex. It makes you, makes you, it makes your heart race makes you clamming makes you paranoid. It can certainly increase blood pressure.

[00:39:54] And so you show up with goosebumps on your arms that never go away and you're sweating profusely. You know, how much of a [00:40:00] good time you're going to have, right.

[00:40:02] Carl Lanore: [00:40:02] The other thing, the one thing that Viagra will do, I just want to jump in before you summarize the one thing by Agra may do for the guys, the guys out there who have the anxiety, the idea that you took a Viagra, cause your penis will get hard, faster with Viagra.

[00:40:16] Like, like when you were a teenager, like boom. And just knowing that for a lot of guys is, is enough to get them to perform better because they are suffering from anxiety. A lot of guys are suffering from anxiety. They don't understand that. The older you get, you don't realize that you're anxious all the time.

[00:40:36] Cause you just kind of grow into feeling this way, like a, like a drop drop, drop, drop drop, and you just kind of climb this ladder of anxiety where now all the time you realize something's not right. You don't know what it is and it's anxiety and then you try to perform and it doesn't work.

[00:40:53] Coach Rob Regish: [00:40:53] So yeah,

[00:40:54] Carl Lanore: [00:40:54] Viagra could help.

[00:40:55] Mentally like you took it, you definitely do get hard, faster, and you think, Oh, [00:41:00] I'm safe. I don't have to worry about P you know, getting soft here and, and you'll perform when in reality, a Valium may do the same thing for you. It might take the edge off.

[00:41:10] Coach Rob Regish: [00:41:10] Yeah. That, that also could work against you though. I mean, if you really don't need it, but you think you do, and then you don't have it.

[00:41:19] Carl Lanore: [00:41:19] Yes. A lot of guys go through that. A lot of guys go through that. And the other thing is that we're going to have a guy on the show in a couple of weeks who, so the acoustic wave technology that they use in clinics for men who actually do have. Real ed where their blood flow isn't working into their penis properly anymore.

[00:41:42] Um, they use ultrasound to break up that plaque and cause that spongy material inside your penis to, to go back to normal and function, there's now a unit you can buy and bring it home and do it yourself. Whenever you want. There's a date. This guy won [00:42:00] a lawsuit that he made. This thing it's called the rocket.

[00:42:05] And you just take it home and do it yourself. You don't have to go to clinic and pay them hundreds and hundreds of dollars every time you go, you know, I think you need like 10 treatments, this, you just do it at home and then you could do maintenance, whatever you want as well. So that's worth looking into as well for people who are convinced that their erectile dysfunction is legitimately from blood

[00:42:24] Coach Rob Regish: [00:42:24] flow.

[00:42:25] Yeah. The last thing I'll say in summarizing, this is, you know, whatever the issue is, get an address, but always remember this. Exercise is free to everyone. And either strength, training or traditional cardio will improve blood flow. And so your, whether it's psychosomatic or something else, make sure you're in the gym.

[00:42:50] Carl Lanore: [00:42:50] Where you know that I caught. So cardiovascular conditioning, if you want to be better in bed, I'm telling you I experienced it myself firsthand. [00:43:00] It was eye opening for me. And it makes it made sense to me. I was like, yeah, I guess you're not cardiovascularly conditioned, then sex. Isn't gonna act sex is just cardiovascular event.

[00:43:10] That's all it is. Right. This question comes from Larry Nelson. He says, uh, what's your take on immune boosting herbs, anything in particular I should be looking for?

[00:43:23] Coach Rob Regish: [00:43:23] Yeah. Obviously this has become a red hot topic ever since COVID-19 that whole message started. Um, and that's largely because until.

[00:43:34] Supposedly recently until they get a vaccine, um, there is not a whole lot, the matter Coke community could do for people if you contracted it. Which of course is a very scary proposition. And now people are looking at alternative treatments. And so just giving you an idea. I had a friend of a friend who was infected and he had to be [00:44:00] hospitalized.

[00:44:00] And so when I asked. And when I asked my friend, I said, well, what are the doctors doing for him? And he said, other than putting him on a, uh, what is it? Respirator

[00:44:11] Carl Lanore: [00:44:11] ventilator, which damages your lungs permanently?

[00:44:14] Coach Rob Regish: [00:44:14] Uh, you know, his reply was as short as it was stark. He said nothing. They said there there's nothing they can do.

[00:44:23] It's up to him up to him really means this. Your immune system is your first and last line of defense in beating this thing. Um, and that's when people went into hyperdrive, looking at all of these alternative therapies now, important to note, I'm not a doctor. I, you know, I can tell you a few things about what I am doing.

[00:44:46] Okay. And then by extension, my wife and son are doing to address this. So, you know, this is what I have my family on. So it's not, I guess, to be taken lightly first and foremost, eight plus [00:45:00] hours of sleep deep restful sleep. Every night sleep is only given lip service. You're you know, relative to immune function yet it underpins everything.

[00:45:13] So let me say that again, sleep is absolutely vital to immunity. If you're not sleeping well, figure out how to fix it. That's a different topic for a different time, but it, it underlies all of that. All the things I'm about to talk about a related, fundamental to that is training with the appropriate frequency and intensity.

[00:45:37] To boost immune function. And it's one of, if not the most powerful thing you can do to boost your immune function too much training though. And you will whack your immune too little. You don't get the boost. It's a fine balance. Right. But. You know, if people are looking for me to put a stick in the ground, I would tell you, you know, two [00:46:00] weight training sessions or two resistance training sessions a week, and two cardio is going to serve most people very well.

[00:46:08] It'll provide adequate number of recovery days, and it will give you that boost in immune function that you need. Now, another related fundamental, um, is diet. You know, you want to limit the amount of crap that you eat and instead get most of your nutrition from real solid food, more food than protein powder.

[00:46:33] And don't forget the vegetables. If you can't stomach vegetables, for whatever reason, there are a lot of people that don't like them. Um, then I would encourage you to either. Blend or juice them or, and worst case scenario, something like V8 or like vegetable drank, um, which is not optimal, but it is mild.

[00:46:57] It's better than nothing. [00:47:00] So, you know, anyway, as we get to micronutrients, which is what most people are looking for, they're looking for magic bullets. There really are no magic bullets, but these are mine in no particular order. So. A highly bioavailable, zinc and magnesium owing to large scale deficiencies is desirable.

[00:47:21] ZMA. As a supplement, a lot of people have heard it it's acceptable. It carries a pretty low price, but highly bioavailable minerals. Vitamin D obviously in an amount that sees your blood levels rise, right? To ideally at least 50, I think most doctors want to see 30 on the, on the test. Um, but you should know where you are now.

[00:47:48] Most of them doctors that I have seen that order, the CBC complete blood count, the vitamin D test is on there. If yours doesn't. Then [00:48:00] you need to ask to get a dumb Prato, to see where you're at 5,000 IUs a day for most people is going to begin to start to move the needle. Um, and. Likely more than that, you will leave in the winter months, at least up here on the Northeast.

[00:48:17] If you are just taking vitamins and your levels are going nowhere, um, watch what happens when you add magnesium works. Every time those levels start going up, up and up third, vitamin C I take three grams a day religiously when I'm feeling my best. That's at no, no, Nope, no issues with it. So whatever at the first sign of any trouble, I usually go up to 10 grams a day and then I keep increasing it from there until I know I'm out of the woods.

[00:48:49] If I feel like I'm fighting anything off substantial, like a fever or, you know, those types of symptoms, it's two to three grams every hour on the [00:49:00] hour. Until you reach bowel tolerance and you're in the bathroom, right. Which is indicative of a point of saturation. If you want a real idea of how good vitamin C is.

[00:49:15] I want you to Google the studies or articles done by dr. Richard Klenner. A lot of people will associate dr. Linus Pauling as the father of vitamin C. The real truth is that dr. Klenner was doing, doing things with it way long time ago. Um, That were just unbelievable, like yeah. Successfully treating polio.

[00:49:39] And like, when I say successful, I mean, every case is before they had a vaccine, every case. That was treated with adequate amounts of vitamin C resolved. I'm not a great math guy, but a hundred percent is a pretty good track record. Right. And he also used it against various strains of influenza and the [00:50:00] whole host of maladies.

[00:50:01] In fact, one of the things that he said, and this is what I'll never forget. He said there is not a virus out there that when vitamin C is given adequately dosed, it cannot resolve. Now it'll surprise you as to how much he gave. In some cases he gave a hundred grams or more a day, uh, intravenously, but that should also illustrate to you the relative toxicity of vitamin C, which is not a, um, no, you ever get into a situation like that and you were admitted to the hospital maybe, or a loved one is I think you can and should.

[00:50:43] Request Ivy, vitamin C, if you don't want to wait while they try the powers that be, try to talk it out and try to talk you out of it. Have some lyposomal vitamin C on hand and hammer that it's almost as good as the injection. [00:51:00] Uh, and there's no holier than now gatekeeper and a white coat. That you have to deal with.

[00:51:05] So I would have that waiting in the wings, speaking of vitamin C and zinc, I came across an older, um, but nonetheless, very interesting study just this morning on that combo C and Z. What made it interesting was the, was the company that funded the research Bayer. Right? So here we have a big pharma bear.

[00:51:28] Looking at vitamin C and zinc. And what did they find? They well, they found that it's shortened both the incidents and the duration and the severity of cold, right? This is not the first time that has been demonstrated, nor will it be the last. So if you're not using, using these two, while you are sick, I would tell you that you're shortchanging yourself and defacto everyone around you.

[00:51:55] Right because we don't want them to get sick either. It's not always all [00:52:00] about us. Ginger  elderberry. Uh, those have been linked in various studies to boosting immune function as have various adaptogens like Persa tin, um, and to others, garlic in particular would probably be my go to. Right out of the gate, either the crushed cloves of, uh,

[00:52:24] Carl Lanore: [00:52:24] I think, I think they're better if they're just baked just a little bit, because it increases that Alison, when you, when you bake it in an oven for a little while it gets oil again, soft, I think it's better for you to be honest with

[00:52:35] Coach Rob Regish: [00:52:35] you.

[00:52:36] That was going to be my next point, which is if you don't want the straight garlic. You can look for garlic supplements, but when you do look for it being standardized to the active ingredient of Alison, the only hesitation that I would tell you in using any of these herbs is this, you know, don't use [00:53:00] them all at one, start out with garlic and see how you do on that.

[00:53:04] If garlic isn't cutting it fine, and then you can add something else. Um, but otherwise you're not going to know. Right. What's working. And then finally, uh, Oh, this was something I think you had asked me to, uh, to do, which was have some famous percent alpha one on him. If I'm not mistaken, that is the peptide that's been linked to boosting immune function.

[00:53:29] And so I keep a couple of vials in the fridge and I, and I have for over a year, just, just in case. Right? So the bottom line here is there are a lot of vitamins, minerals, herbs, and even peptides that can help in the fight against this and other viruses. Uh, They are however, only finishing touches compared to adequate sleep.

[00:53:53] Good workouts, good diet. That's not a sexy answer, but it may very well spelled the difference [00:54:00] between you living and dying. Now that's pretty blunt, but it's also the truth. And at a time, yes, in this situation with COVID and how it affects people, the truth matters. And that's true.

[00:54:14] Carl Lanore: [00:54:14] So a couple things real quick.

[00:54:16] So Carrie, we're going to get to your question on the other side of the break about tribulus for women. Um, but Andre, uh, clean hounds who is in South Africa, looks like he's he's, uh, joining us live today. Okay. And, um, Andre, I think someone in your family has COVID-19 and Rob and I were talking about this this morning and what you need to do is you need to find the doctor to prescribe.

[00:54:44] A very common antibiotic called azithromycin, a Z I T H R O M Y C I N. Otherwise in the United States, known as a Z pack, 1000 milligrams on day one, 500 milligrams on days two through five, and [00:55:00] the virus will be gone. This is a fact, I guarantee it will work. You just have to find a doctor to prescribe that.

[00:55:08] And, uh, and, and the, and the virus will go. And everyone who is used azithromycin, who is contracted COVID-19 has, will say to you in three days

[00:55:20] Coach Rob Regish: [00:55:20] I was better.

[00:55:21] Carl Lanore: [00:55:21] Okay. And that's because we just did a show about this with dr. . Um, This virus, the reason this virus kills old people and is more severe in elderly people.

[00:55:32] And the older you are, the worse it is that if you're young, you don't have any symptoms at all is because this virus uses senescent cells as the factory to reproduce. As you get older, you accumulate more senescent cells. That's just the natural progression. And then the FDA in the United States has authorized the use of azithromycin.

[00:55:56] As a set alytic. That means that it's not [00:56:00] just an antibiotic for people who need antibiotics to get over respiratory infections or bladder infections and stuff like that. But a single a five day regimen of a Z pack is if they're myosin will vanquish and remove 97% of the senescent cells in your body.

[00:56:21] In fact, I take a Z-Pak once a quarter. For this reason, along with my rapid myosin that I take once a week now I take six milligrams when I used to do six milligrams every other week. Now I've moved it to once a week. So, um, you can absolutely see some fantastic results by using azithromycin and, uh, and, and resolving.

[00:56:45] This virus completely. We're going to take one quick commercial break. When we come back, we have lots more questions. We have live questions. We'll get to all of them. I promise you stay tuned.

[00:56:54] Coach Rob Regish: [00:56:54] This is the superhuman channel

[00:56:56] Carl Lanore: [00:56:56] doing reps

[00:56:57] Coach Rob Regish: [00:56:57] with the weight of the world.

[00:57:02] [00:57:00] Carl Lanore: [00:57:02] We've got a lot of questions piling up, so let's, um, let's go back to one of the, um, Questions that was emailed in. And then we'll go back to a live question here,

[00:57:16] Coach Rob Regish: [00:57:16] um,

[00:57:17] Carl Lanore: [00:57:17] on the video. So drew Davidson says

[00:57:21] Coach Rob Regish: [00:57:21] Davidson,

[00:57:23] Carl Lanore: [00:57:23] I really want have they hand it to you on Projeta directs and Cynthia and my training is so much better on those tranquility though, is what my question is about.

[00:57:33] It really helped with my mood, like night and day, I assume it was. The Rhodiola, but when I use Rhodiola by itself, it's not the same. Why is that?

[00:57:46] Coach Rob Regish: [00:57:46] Yeah. You know, every, so often I get an email about a Trek religion, which usually doesn't get the same play as progenitor directs are sent to Jim. But for whatever reason, it's making a huge difference in people's.

[00:58:00] [00:58:00] No day to day activities. Um, but the relative question about, Hey, you know, I thought it was the Rhodiola and I take that by itself, but it didn't work. Uh, that's not an invalid question or exercise, right. People assume X, Y, Z is the ingredient that it's working the magic. It just, just take a lot of that.

[00:58:24] It almost never ends well, and there's a couple of different reasons for that, but let's stick with Trent coalition since that's what this question is about. Rhodiola is like a lot of other adaptogens you can buy really good stuff or really cheap stuff. Of course, when you buy cheap, you will usually wind up with less or no active ingredients.

[00:58:49] And it's very simple equation. No actives. No results, you know, in many cases, believe it or not. It really is that simple. Um, [00:59:00] there was an equity product that was put out a year ago that was getting a lot of play on the boards and they analyzed it. It had zero equity steroid. And so when someone comes back and says, Hey, I tried that equity stuff.

[00:59:13] It didn't work for me. Well, that's one of the reasons why, um, and if, if you're skeptical, Anyone with an internet connection, you can go out there and prove this to themselves. Go ahead. Or you can go right now. You can Google Rhodiola, uh, bulk rock, and you will get a ton of raw materials. Compliers most of which are in China.

[00:59:36] Most people wind up at Alibaba's site. Um, where again, you'll find a multitude of them after inquiring via email. You will typically get two things back in the order, minimum order, quantity and price, but it's what you don't get. That's usually the most talent, but you don't get [01:00:00] is a cert certified third party lab analysis for those raw ingredients.

[01:00:06] So I want you to ask for it at which point. Nine out of 10 companies that entertain that request, we'll send you back, not a third party, a lab analysis, but a CFA or a certificate of,

[01:00:20] Carl Lanore: [01:00:20] yeah. From, from, from the, from the original manufacturer in China where they just photocopy those that changed the date it's all day long.

[01:00:29] Coach Rob Regish: [01:00:29] I was, I was gonna say these are a little like those fake degrees that used to be in the back of the

[01:00:34] Carl Lanore: [01:00:34] shade. Some of, some of the cos is so blatantly nonsense. They'll have an original assay date of 1997 and it's like, wait, well, this is 2020, like, Oh no, we make so much. We still have it. It's still the same batch.

[01:00:48] It's like, come on. If you're stupid enough to buy it, then he'd be happy to sell it to you.

[01:00:54] Coach Rob Regish: [01:00:54] Yeah. That's honestly what a lot of this works. Now, if you do [01:01:00] happen to locate good or superior material, I'll tell you upfront, be prepared to pay for it upwards of three to five times the cheap stuff, depending upon your source and the actual stuff that you're ordering.

[01:01:12] If you happen to be shopping, for example, for something like it is not unusual to pay 10 times the amount. The cheap stuff for Akilah or the good stuff equal amounts, right. Especially if you're ordering them minimum quantity, we're going to quote you, uh, and you'll see for yourself how it works. It's also true.

[01:01:36] However, That tranquility and is a lot more than Rhodiola there's curcumin. There was a very strong ashwagandha that we use. There's asked to xanthan and there is five HTP. And so it's the same story with a lot of those ingredients, particularly the herbals. Now I'll also tell you quite honestly, that not everything you go [01:02:00] shopping for.

[01:02:01] It was always going to be this difficult. It would be unfair. For example, for me to indict an entire country China, just because they play games with some of the compounds that you may be looking for. For example, uh, HTP five ACP either is. Or it isn't, you know, you can argue all day about where you derive it from or synthesize it, but five HTP on a lab and it either is, or it is, there's a lot more fudge factor in things like herbs.

[01:02:37] And that's particularly true for adaptogens because there is no widespread understanding or agreement as to what the actives are. So consequently it creates fertile ground. For all the shenanigans.

[01:02:51] Carl Lanore: [01:02:51] Well, but, and then something else here that needs to be addressed as well. It's cold, it's cultural. So middle Eastern people expect you [01:03:00] to haggle with them if they have, if you, if you've ever had to buy something, um, like let's say a Persian rug from a middle Eastern Persian rug dealer, you know, that they will set a price on that rug that they really don't intend.

[01:03:18] To get, but if you're stupid enough not to haggle, they'll sell it to you at that price. But if you haggle with them, you'll find out that you can get that rug for a lot cheaper. It's cultural. It's almost disrespectful to just walk up and go, okay, I'll write you a check for that. They want that. Now in the Chinese culture, they like to get over.

[01:03:41] They think that, you know, like I remember, um, A convenience store and a Chinese guy was working there. And this is in New York when I was growing up. And he said, you Americans are so stupid. You never check your change. I said, what do you mean? He goes, I should change people all day long. They never, they look at the coins, they put them in their pocket

[01:04:00] [01:04:00] Coach Rob Regish: [01:04:00] and

[01:04:00] Carl Lanore: [01:04:00] he wasn't robbing them to him.

[01:04:02] It was a game. It was like, if you're too stupid to catch me, then I'm going to, and China, they're the same way. If you don't, if you buy something from China and take their COA. They think you're an idiot. They're like, okay, you're an idiot. But if you say to them, I want a small amount. Or if you say to them, I'm going to order this.

[01:04:23] But if it turns out not to be, because that's why I like companies that are used to doing business and try to do business with something called the letter of credit. They don't send money. Right. Schmuck send money. So they say, yeah, here's a letter of credit ship me this, they check, they check it. They go and didn't check out.

[01:04:38] They send it back. They reversed their letter of credit. So Chinese, the Chinese manufacturers know. We don't have money in hand and this guy is telling us, he's going to, he's going to check it. We better send real stuff or we're gonna end up eating it. But it's a, it's a, it's a cultural thing too. It really is.

[01:04:55] Coach Rob Regish: [01:04:55] And that flows into my next point, which is basically this. If you don't [01:05:00] have the benefit of years of experience of dealing with these type of folks and ingredients, you would never know it. Right? I mean, you certainly wouldn't know it on an ingredient by ingredient. Basis, you reach a point in this game, at least I did where you decide either I'm going to do this right.

[01:05:19] Or I'm not going to do it at all. I gave up trying to find bargain basement adaptogens decades ago. Why because I sat down and I figured out how much money I was wasting, trying to save money. I dunno how any the book either put it right. It's just, it's, it's counterproductive. So, uh, at the end of the day, I'm glad my products are working for you, drew.

[01:05:43] I really, um, and you know, it's something that if I, if I, I could get the same effects. With a single ingredient, like he was proposing, then I would have done. So, yeah. Yeah. My hunch is that [01:06:00] anyone that's listening to this that wants to do a product and do it right. You're going to do the same exact things that I'm proposing, especially after learning the hard way.

[01:06:09] Like I, so. I appreciate your question.

[01:06:13] Carl Lanore: [01:06:13] Tommy D says he just got back from surfing, a surfing trip in Mexico. Lucky Tommy. He says, uh, having trained in a month, obviously I've gotten plenty of exercise per se. What's your favorite ultra abbreviated go-to strength, hypertrophy plan hypertrophy plan after an extended layoff and I'm age 49.

[01:06:37] Thanks.

[01:06:39] Coach Rob Regish: [01:06:39] Uh, if we're talking about truly abbreviated routines in my mind. Yeah. It's very simple. It's an upper lower body split. So one day you're working your legs and your abs, uh, and the other day you work in push pull upper body and your lower body day, I'm picking trap bar dead lifts, maybe five sets of [01:07:00] 10, three to five sets.

[01:07:02] Why am I doing this? It works more muscle than any other movement, even the squat. Okay. If you want to. If you want to add additional legwork after that, the leverage squat, the leg press, whatever by all means, do it. So, um, but make sure that you're doing justice to those movements and progressively increase the total tonnage over time.

[01:07:24] The push pull day, um, starting out with two very effective movements that are a hybrid of body weight and weighted movement. So I'm what am I doing? I'm doing okay. Um, weighted dips and weighted chance. Now, if you want to go bench and you want to go do, you know, see the cable rows and you want to go do this and that after that, that that's fine, but I'm telling you now, if you keep your workout to 30 minutes and follow the laws of progression, then you will be shocked at how well [01:08:00] abbreviated training works.

[01:08:00] In fact, it has been said, and I agree with this whole heart of the. Abbreviated training is usually the last thing trainees will try when trying to overcome a plateau. It should be the first, it should be the first thing. Yeah.

[01:08:19] Carl Lanore: [01:08:19] There's so much that can be done in a 30 minute workout. And then you just have to look at guys like Lee Haney and the whole concept of stimulate don't annihilate.

[01:08:27] I mean, Lee Haney built an a Olympia level physique. Which short training sessions. I don't think he ever trained longer than 40 minutes,

[01:08:37] Coach Rob Regish: [01:08:37] seven times. Right. That's having time. He's got seven Sandoz.

[01:08:42] Carl Lanore: [01:08:42] So, uh, Jeff Clifton says, uh, gonna up my carbon intake with mainly sweet potatoes, organic Jasmine, white rice, and bananas.

[01:08:51] What are Rob's choices for carbs?

[01:08:54] Coach Rob Regish: [01:08:54] I would tell him that his, his picks are exceptionally good. Uh, I I've [01:09:00] also had a lot of success. I remember years ago eating, uh, believe it or not cream of wheat. Uh, I would add to that intro workout or after the workout, uh, Carbone, which, you know, I've discussed on this.

[01:09:16] Uh, broadcast before it is a very, uh, savvy let's call it engineered carbohydrate that your muscles will soak up during an after the workout. Uh, the only other thing I would tell you is this, try to eat leftovers, why they have half the glycemic index. In most cases of freshly prepared food and Carl, if I'm not mistaken, you broke that on your broadcast.

[01:09:44] Carl Lanore: [01:09:44] Yeah, because, because I like making a baking your potatoes and then putting them in the refrigerator and eating them the following day, converts a lot more of the starch to digest and resistance starch will fiber. It lowers the glycemic index [01:10:00] dramatically. I'll tell you what I've I've I have been eating more carbs.

[01:10:04] About a hundred grams a day. And I love rice. I love rice and I take bus, Monte rice. I made it this morning. I made cream of rice from whole rice. I take whole rice in the, in the bullet, turn it upside down rant, turn it into a powder that makes the best cream of rice. I put water in it. I put it in the microwave for 28 seconds.

[01:10:26] Whip it up. And it's so good. And I love cream of rice right now. And I had rice with my lunch today, too. I had bought some Matti rice, I think, right. It's really a safe bet.

[01:10:35] Coach Rob Regish: [01:10:35] You get a lot of carbs in that way,

[01:10:38] Carl Lanore: [01:10:38] a lot of cars. But the other thing is that they don't have the anti-nutrients. The reason I like white rice is because the husk has been removed and that's where the anti-nutrients are.

[01:10:49] That's where the stuff that leads to autoimmune disorders, they strip it off. So you're not eating it. So that's an important thing. Uh, Dave Hartnett says, [01:11:00] has Rob been able to experiment with the GAA glyco Saya mean and Creotine combo blueprint volume nine, issue eight. And has he found another source yet besides the one that comes from Australia with a $34 shipping charge?

[01:11:19] Coach Rob Regish: [01:11:19] Well, um, the short answer is a started that, uh, yesterday, however I was onto this years ago. And so I know pretty much what's going to happen, uh, what he is referencing. He's given away a few bull secrets, but, uh, there is a compound out there. That is in the Guana Dino related, uh, creatine type of compounds that has been, been found to raise levels of phosphocreatine not only in muscles, but in the brain even better than creating really.

[01:12:00] [01:12:00] Not only that, but if you thought that was something, they found that when you use them together in a certain way, they beat an equal amount of creatine hands down. Now I will also tell you that there are, there are one or two negatives to be concerned with that are easily addressed by using one other very inexpensive supplement.

[01:12:28] But this is something quite frankly, that has more human studies behind it showing benefits than any other compound that I've come across. And I included every single one of them in last month's issue. Uh, and that was just, that was one of the four topics that I hit. But yeah, it's, um, it's a great combination.

[01:12:53] The, the. I think the best part of it is this. You [01:13:00] get all the benefits of creating and them some without the water weight. So for a guy like me, who's working hard on, up in his weighted chins and weighted dips and handstands shoulder presses. That is money, you know, especially when an equal amount of creative team model.

[01:13:18] My wife was telling me this the other day, she's like, Oh God, you're not going to go on that creative team again. I get moon face. I it up with a ton of water and I'm not so concerned about the aesthetics, but God, every single pound, whether that water is in your muscles or not is working against you on a one-arm chin up or what have you, right.

[01:13:42] Yeah, this, this is, it was, it was something I'm really proud of. One of the better ones that I brought forward.

[01:13:50] Carl Lanore: [01:13:50] So Carrie Kruger, who also watches the show live from South Africa said would tribulus be a good sup to take for a perimenopausal menopausal female [01:14:00] to balance out hormones, help build muscle mass.

[01:14:04] Wait, wait, wait, help. Build muscle mass. Or just make you feel more super human again, it's not just a male supplement.

[01:14:15] Coach Rob Regish: [01:14:15] He's absolutely right about that because I can, when I was going to say, is this a mass is top product. The company that makes sense to Jim, uh, their top seller for decades has been the tribulus based product.

[01:14:30] That adaptive Jeanette, I am told. And I believe it that almost as many females by that as the men. And I can sort of understand why, because if we go back to the active ingredient with referrals and Rolex happenings, precursors to nitric oxide, that's going to increase blood flow for little ladies. Cause right down to the genitalium, we also know that a good number of [01:15:00] people trim.

[01:15:02] We'll increase your libido and where is it doing that in the brain? You know, they're, they're working out right now. Exactly which receptors in the brain ringing a R affected by accent for roast and all looks happening. And so while it's true, be less is not going to boost your testosterone, anyone for faster on so super physiological levels.

[01:15:27] It's also true that the great libido boost and blood flow. Potentiator or both men and women. And, uh, about a year ago, I did a special on Trib and the bullet and it gives, it gives the two triple only brand name products that I recommend you need to be careful. And I'll just offer this one. Yup. Yup.

[01:15:54] Cannot standardized trim for any more than [01:16:00] 60%. Supplements. So if you see a product proclaiming 98% happenings, like I've seen it, it's BS interest 60 is the best they can do. Really? Yeah.

[01:16:13] Carl Lanore: [01:16:13] That's good news. Good. Good to hear. Yeah, there you go. That's Carrie's question. We're going to take our last commercial break and when we come back, We have the blueprint tip of the day with coach Rob regular stay tuned.

[01:16:23] We'll be right back with more of superhuman radio.

[01:16:27] Coach Rob Regish: [01:16:27] Spit that out right now. This is the superhuman channel

[01:16:34] Carl Lanore: [01:16:34] So today I come into the studio, after a long four day weekend, every piece of equipment is dead. I found that I, I go to use my cell phone and my router is dead. I'm like the routers out. The modems out. Every computer's out by uninterrupted power supply went dead. This is, this is an hour before the [01:17:00] show I freaked out.

[01:17:03] I was like, I can't believe I'm gonna have to cancel the show. I already had no show Monday. I can't afford to have no show Tuesday. Right. My Apollo and put it on. I got the app and I put it on the relaxed mode. And I just took, I literally felt a wash with like calmness. This thing really works. I don't know anybody who's using it.

[01:17:29] If you've got it, Derek, Trump better loves it. I know people who use it right before bed to go asleep. But when I need, I picked me up, I guess, use this if I'm in the middle of the show and I'm starting to get tired, I use this, but today I used it to relax. Gathered my thoughts. Cause I took the motorcycle today.

[01:17:47] I can't go, Oh, ups is heavy. It's like 35, 40 pounds. I can't put that in my saddlebag unless I want to fall down while I'm riding. And so I thought, okay, what do I do? I got relaxed. I went next [01:18:00] door to Brian. My buddy, Brian is, Hey, can you drive me? He goes here, just take my car. I went, boom, boom. I bought the same exact.

[01:18:06] Ups. I literally swapped it out. Boom, back on the air, just that fast. But I got to tell you, this thing really works. There's no doubt in my mind that works. You hit that button or you use the app. I like to use the app because I could see what I'm doing. You feel it all of a sudden it's like, you just become relaxed.

[01:18:24] It's like, wow, this thing is amazing. Like this is, this is mood on demand on

[01:18:31] Coach Rob Regish: [01:18:31] demand. That's

[01:18:32] Carl Lanore: [01:18:32] what this is. We have a special. Uh, I think you've heard the spot, uh, Apollo neuro offers my audience. I believe 15% off. Um, I'll get I'll I'll put the link up here in a second while you're doing the blueprint tip of the day.

[01:18:45] I'll put it up here for

[01:18:46] Coach Rob Regish: [01:18:46] people want to go. Sure. So the tip of the day is simply, this is why leaving a legacy needs to be on your, to do list. So when I [01:19:00] started to lift weights, I, I did so for a number of reasons. Um, but I think more than anything else I wanted to stand up. Right. I wanted it to be different in a good way.

[01:19:11] You know, some people don't like to stand out. They don't like to be different. I get, um, I figured if I could get the two 50 of mostly muscle, then that would certainly do it. And, and lo and behold, I was able to do that. The only problem is that shortly after I got there and the whole world decided to start lifting weights, get Jack.

[01:19:34] So yeah, in the crowd of regular nine to five folks, I certainly looked different, but in the gym right guys today, guys, anywhere from two 25 to two 75, They're now a diamond does write a 300 pound muscular person is still somewhat of an anomaly. Uh, but every gym hardcore Jim anyway, has a few, [01:20:00] uh, in order to really stand out, then I needed to do something different.

[01:20:07] Every person that gets into this game. It's usually good at something. They might be exceptionally lean. They might have really big joints and, you know, robust endomorphic build and they're capable of lifting. You know, Wade Johnson like weight. They might really Excel a calisthenics. We all have our strengths, but that's not, what's important.

[01:20:35] What is important? And what's going to remain long after you're gone is your legacy. And there are two things that you need to do to cement that I think number one, you need to be a student of the game and know a lot. And number two, it's your responsibility to use whatever gifts you were given to help [01:21:00] other people.

[01:21:02] So at age 50, I can still do some impressive things in the gym, but the numbers aren't really anything special. You can easily find more impressive stuff elsewhere. Almost everyone listening to me though has a similar story and yeah, in order to stand out, then you need to cultivate expertise. And like I said, enrich other people's lives with it.

[01:21:29] Expertise though only comes with time. There are a lot of things to try in this sport. You keep you busy for the rest of your life, right? Different training protocols, different diets, certainly different supplements and drugs. Many people have done that, or they continue to do it, trying different things out, what most people haven't done and what they need to do is write it down.

[01:21:55] You know, let me be the first to tell you the mind is fickle thing, [01:22:00] hard lessons. Are some of the best to learn because they stick, you know, you never forget the sting of some of them, you blow a discount using too much back on a deadlift. And I guarantee you'll never forget it because you might be stuck with that pain.

[01:22:18] The rest of your life, the trouble is the 21 year old kid that you've been watching. Who's been hitching every rep of every deadlift. Has never gotten the memo. You can help him though by broaching the issue with him in whatever form or fashion that you desire, which admittedly can be difficult thing in some cases.

[01:22:44] Yeah. Think about this. You will may save that kid from a lifetime of pain, right. That prevents him from achieving something extraordinary. Was, he may have been capable of [01:23:00] many of, you know, as much or more than I do. Even if you don't think that's the case. I want you to start writing about it. I want you to put pen to paper concerning things that you have learned, and don't worry about the flow of things.

[01:23:15] Don't worry about how little you write or how much you write. Just write. If you have a collection, if all you do in your life is kind of collection of 20 things. That you learn that will help someone else. The information in those pages could help them in ways you can never imagined thoughts and words are very powerful things.

[01:23:38] They have ended lives and they have saved. They have started war and they have lost Wars. They have inspired generations of people to go on to do amazing things. When you are compiling. You know what you've written a book or when you're done rather [01:24:00] compiling the information, get it out there. And there's no better time in history where you can reach more people than right now by a URL for two or three bucks, and either give the book away or pamphlet or whatever you want to call it.

[01:24:17] Either give it away for free or charge some nominal amount. The original blueprint was 25 pages long. I can assure you. I never thought in a million years it would lead to SHR. Right. And not everybody's going to be that lucky. Um, but you never know, you might be more lucky. Dan Duchenne's original, underground steroid handbook.

[01:24:43] People don't understand. They think it was this big, you know, Bible on steroids, you know how long it was. 18 pages, 18 pages garnered him worldwide fame and [01:25:00] influenced every succeeding generation of lifters to this day that we're interested in those compounds. Alternatively, you might not become an all-knowing training diet or supplement guru, but you most assuredly you most assuredly have something.

[01:25:18] The offer to someone, something that can change their lives profoundly for the better you might, for example, have a disability. But despite that disability you've accomplished something than more than the next 400 men. Right. I have the opportunity to talk to Andre last week. He's an absolute inspiration and believe you me.

[01:25:43] When I hung the phone up. It will set you on fire. All right. You're thinking about this, but my God, he's accomplished a dozen things. Any one of them, which would be the cherry on top of a lifetime achievement award. I mean, [01:26:00] it makes you feel like you can accomplish anything. And there are many, many people that need that today because not everyone.

[01:26:10] Is as confident or as jazz to go out there and do something extraordinary maybe as you are. So it's definitely a matter of finding the gifts that you were given and then sharing those gifts with those people that'll listen and benefit from, for, from them. I honestly feel like this is why we are here.

[01:26:37] We're not here to make a lot of money. We're not here to surround ourselves with toys and we're not here to just take we're here to give back and it's imperative that you do. So before you go through the checkout line, even if you never hear from a single person whose life was [01:27:00] touched by something you said, or did you will have done your part because at some point.

[01:27:06] The day will come when they put you in the ground, the ride's going to be over and only one thing will remain your legacy. All I'm saying is make sure that you leave one.

[01:27:23] Carl Lanore: [01:27:23] I'm having an allergy attack. That's my legacy. Today. I've been off. I've been off the air, blowing my nose, sneezing.

[01:27:32] Coughing my eyes. It's hearing. Oh man. Okay. We got a couple comments and questions. We've got to get up here. I didn't see them originally. Chrissy's Fox says, what does is eat Z-Pak duty on microbiome though. Nothing. In fact, we know that is it. The myosin is an extremely weak, extremely weak antibiotic, but it's a powerful.

[01:27:56] Anti-inflammatory and I'm sure you can understand why. If it gets

[01:27:59] Coach Rob Regish: [01:27:59] rid of

[01:28:01] [01:28:00] Carl Lanore: [01:28:01] senescent cells, I take a Z-Pak once or twice a year now does nothing to the microbiome, nothing at all. Very, very weak. Um, and then we had another one here. Hold on. These didn't pop up for some reason because of the stupid security.

[01:28:20] Settings on Facebook, massive constipation while cutting carbs at the moment, like really bad. What can I do? Uh, psyllium. Husk.

[01:28:30] Coach Rob Regish: [01:28:30] Yeah, I was gonna say you covered this, I think was last week. It's not uncommon, right? In those people that go on low carb diets, they don't get enough fiber. A spoonful or two of that psyllium husk, Metamucil is take care of your problems.

[01:28:46] Trust me. And I better be a fan. It it'll improve the glycemic index of the foods that you do. Yeah.

[01:28:53] Carl Lanore: [01:28:53] Yes. Thank you, Michael. I love these shows. Thank you. All right. That's it. I think that we covered everything. We answered [01:29:00] every question. We didn't leave anybody out in the cold. Cool. Now I can get off the air and hack my brains out.

[01:29:06] Oh yeah. For those of you listening to the podcast. If you go to SHR network.biz forward slash Apollo neuro, all one word, AP O L L O N E R O. Save 15% off mood on demand, baby.
