[00:00:00] Carl Lanore: [00:00:00] Hey, Hey, welcome back to another episode of super human radio. People are lining up. They're showing up already. It's a September 22nd, 2020 a month of September is coming to a screeching halt. And today is the blueprint power hour. Many of you love it. Post your questions. We're only on YouTube right now because we're being banned by Facebook.

[00:00:22] I actually feel good about this now. Uh, someone emailed me, someone I have a lot of respect for and says, you're getting noticed when Facebook starts playing games with you and they all playing a game with me, they claim I made a post on September 11th about Osama bin Laden that I didn't. And for that, they banned me from live streaming for 30 days.

[00:00:41] I think we have like 24 days left, but the show goes on without them the hell with them. Of course, we have to thank our title sponsor for all of the support. Uh, that they give us. And that is legendary foods. The website is eat legendary.com. The code is SHR 10, for 10% off your entire purchase. [00:01:00] I get emails all the time from people who talk about how much they love the nut butters at legendary foods.

[00:01:07] That's my secret weapon. When I feel like I need something sweet after a meal, I'll just dip into one of the nut butters. They're fantastic. The flavors are ridiculous. It was not no sugar, no sugar. They taste decorative. Try any one of the nut butters. I promise you, you will love them. And don't forget to check out the tasty pastry, which is a pop tart that has been upgraded with nine grams of high leucine protein, less than one gram of sugar and three to four impact carbs.

[00:01:33] And we have new flavors coming out. I believe in October that are gonna astonish you. Don't forget. These are the people that created quest quest nutrition that sold for $1 billion just nine years after. And we will, one of the first, uh, we were the first podcast that they have advertised with. And we like to think that we contributed a great deal to their success, and they think that as well.

[00:01:59] So go check [00:02:00] them out, eat legendary.com, SHR 10 for 10% off. Now we'll play Rob's music. And we'll get him on the air. Calling all blueprint army fall in line. It's time for the blueprint power hour with coach Rodriguez on the superhuman radio network.

[00:02:20] How you doing coach? Rob? Are you there? You're frozen. Rob, if you can hear me. Rob, you're frozen. It's funny. He's just staring at me. That's it. Um, okay. So I don't know what to do. We can, uh, wait for Rob to reconnect. Hi, Rob. If you don't know you're frozen, then I don't know what to do. There he goes. He's he's dropping out now.

[00:02:44] Okay. He'll reconnect here in a second. There we go.

[00:02:47] Coach Rob Regish: [00:02:47] One second. Give me one sec.

[00:02:48] Carl Lanore: [00:02:48] Yeah, yeah, yeah, no problem. Um, we'll just take him off screen for now while he's doing his thing, but yeah, I guess I should be proud that. Facebook is a shadow banning me. I noticed [00:03:00] that my posts aren't getting the views and activity that they've given before.

[00:03:05] The guy who, who told me you should be happy. You're being, you're being noticed. Also said that they they're going to keep following me. They're going to keep watching me. They're going to try to make it harder and harder. I know this is because of my political views. I know that's exactly why, but you know what?

[00:03:22] I should be entitled to my political views without being banned from a platform.

[00:03:26] Coach Rob Regish: [00:03:26] Like Facebook.

[00:03:27] Carl Lanore: [00:03:27] I really should I, without further delay, let's bring Rob back up. Hey, did your battery go dead or something? Rob? I don't know if you can

[00:03:35] Coach Rob Regish: [00:03:35] hear me. I just want to make sure the cable was in. Okay.

[00:03:39] Carl Lanore: [00:03:39] Yeah, because you're, you're, you're really breaking up bad

[00:03:41] Coach Rob Regish: [00:03:41] and just check the cable.

[00:03:42] Carl Lanore: [00:03:42] Okay. Okay. Cause you're, you're really breaking up. You'll get, are you on wireless? A hardwired ethernet.

[00:03:51] Coach Rob Regish: [00:03:51] No I'm hardwired. That's why I got up to check.

[00:03:54] Carl Lanore: [00:03:54] Okay, good. Okay. Well, it looks like it's stabilizing now. How are you Rob?

[00:04:00] [00:04:00] Coach Rob Regish: [00:04:00] I'm doing well. Thanks. I mean, I passed that info by my son about Facebook and he said, dad, Facebook is dead.

[00:04:10] He said, they're dead in the water bad. And they're, they're rolling something out now to compete, I guess, with Amazon. And he said, dad just stay away from that. Cause I was looking at their stock the other day.

[00:04:25] Carl Lanore: [00:04:25] Well, I mean, from an investment standpoint, I think their stock is probably worthwhile. It just, it just kind to re it's going to remain to see what happens.

[00:04:34] Um, what happens. Hey Danny. So let's, let's give some people shout outs, Carrie, uh, Carrie Kruger is listening from South Africa. Love to have you here. That's great, Danny. Uh, Geraldo, uh, is listening from Columbia.  worldwide, baby. We're like, we'll like pit bull, man. We're worldwide. Um, anabolic  is it live on Facebook?

[00:04:57] Can't find it. No. Uh, [00:05:00] if you heard the beginning of the show, Facebook is they completely scammed me. Like I wished there was something I can do about it, but there's really nothing I can do about it because I'm like this aunt, but they, they sent me an, uh, they didn't send me a notice. They, I went to go live on Facebook and it said I was blocked.

[00:05:17] And when I looked deeper, They claim. I made a derogatory post about Osama bin Laden on September 11th. And that goes against their community standards. Now, keep in mind when you make a post that they're going to take down, you get a message that says we're taking this post down because it doesn't meet our community standards.

[00:05:34] And here's why my social media person. Natalie Kopecki. She went through our inbox. She said there's nothing from them. So the whole thing is a scam. It was a scam to block me from reaching people on Facebook.

[00:05:48] Coach Rob Regish: [00:05:48] And are they probing?

[00:05:52] Carl Lanore: [00:05:52] I don't know. I guess that's the other thing I said, like if I said something bad about bin Laden, like, why are you doing offending him in batting me?

[00:05:58] Right. But now it's, [00:06:00] it's, it's not that it's not that they just created this event. Uh, it's like a cop planting drugs on you and then arresting you for drugs. That's what they did. They're scumbags. They're basically scumbags and they know it. They don't care because they feel like an impact people's lives.

[00:06:16] Um, yes. Thank you so much. No lockdown this summer. I hope so too. Tommy D Tommy D he says to overseas nootropic research, chemical vendors, both closed their doors to the U S customers on the same day, September 17th. Any info on that? Well, we'll try to get to that stuff. All right. We'll, we'll get to everybody's comments and questions, but let's start out with the beginning.

[00:06:40] How's your training. We're always talking about training here. It's the most important aspect of I like

[00:06:45] Coach Rob Regish: [00:06:45] framing's going great.

[00:06:48] Carl Lanore: [00:06:48] Mine too. It really is. Yeah.

[00:06:52] Coach Rob Regish: [00:06:52] It felt really good so much. So yesterday I had to stop myself, uh, which we'll talk about a little bit later on. Okay.

[00:06:59] Carl Lanore: [00:06:59] So let's [00:07:00] go ahead and get right to the first question.

[00:07:01] The first question comes from Mike DeMars. What do you think is the most overlooked supplement in sports nutrition, food? We can only, I'm sorry, I'm being an ass.

[00:07:13] Coach Rob Regish: [00:07:13] This is actually a great question and it's probably something I should have addressed earlier. Um, I tried to do it with Cynthia, Jim, but I'll get into that in a bit.

[00:07:24] The easy answer is this magnesium. And so you've probably heard me and others say magnesium is involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body. The question, you know, everybody always says that the question is, what does that really mean? It means this, and this is just scratching the surface. It regulates protein synthesis, muscle contraction, nerve function, blood glucose levels, blood pressure.

[00:07:54] It's also required for energy production, glycolysis,

[00:07:58] Carl Lanore: [00:07:58] insulin sensitivity. I mean, you [00:08:00] said glucose, insulin sensitive.

[00:08:03] Coach Rob Regish: [00:08:03] The list just goes on and on. And if you still doubt magnesium's importance. Consider this, the RDA RDAs for it, or RDIs follow a consistent linear increase as a man gets older. In fact, magnesium requirements for somebody my age 50 and older are even greater than they are for teenagers.

[00:08:27] When you would think right there, they're growing a lot more. They would need more. No, you actually need more later on in life. And so it's this constant growing need. For the threshold level of magnesium. Now consider this sobering fact, those recommendations I just gave you or told you about they're for the general public.

[00:08:49] They're not for athletes,

[00:08:50] Carl Lanore: [00:08:50] right? Cause if you're sweating a lot, you're losing more.

[00:08:54] Coach Rob Regish: [00:08:54] You're right. A lot more. Um, so it brings me to deficiency. [00:09:00] Data from the most recent national health and nutrition examination survey suggest that up to 75% of North Americans are deficient in magnesium. And if you don't think that matters, think again, the range of pathologies associated with magnesium deficiency is staggering.

[00:09:22] That is not my opinion. That is not my view. That is a direct quote. From one of the many studies that are looking at that issue and feel free to pull them up on pub med. They're not hard to find. The simple fact of the matter is most people don't eat foods that are rich in magnesium, right in the first place.

[00:09:44] And even if you did, you would probably still come up short. Why? Because we have so over farmed the land and strip the soil of its nutrient value. No, it's not even funny. Yes. We feed the, we feed everyone [00:10:00] in this country. Yes we are. They also feed the world. There's a price to pay for that. You know, we, we never let nature put back.

[00:10:08] So unfortunately, even if you're eating foods high in magnesium, it's likely, um, that you're still going to be deficient now. I mentioned South agenda earlier. One of the 16 ingredients is magnesium, magnesium aspirate, and. The reason it's there is very specific, but it's also very broad ranging because when I sat down to do it, I said, okay, what do I want this product to do?

[00:10:38] I want stronger muscle contractions. I want more protein synthesis. I want increased nucleotide pools. I want more ATP even without creating. And I wanted. Greater faster messenger RNA translation in the ribosome, which requires a lot of RNA, right. And DNA substrate. [00:11:00] What I ultimately discovered was that for all of those processes, EZM had a in effect that I'll call permissive for optimal function.

[00:11:13] So. It still worked without it. Cause when I, I pulled individual ingredients out of it, how much was, you know, which ones were making a big difference, it'll still work without it, but the effect wasn't nearly as pronounced. Right. And so I tell people, magnesium is like the spark that sets the fire for all of those other 300 enzymatic reactions.

[00:11:39] Um, On a lesser scale, I would say it's true for everyone. That's using supplementation. Everything works better with magnesium, sometimes a lot better. It is. And it makes sense. That's right. But I mean, name me one other [00:12:00] supplement per se. That covers such so many bases on so many reactions like that. I can't, maybe somebody else can, but, but I can't.

[00:12:09] I think so much of my knees keep extra on hand for myself and for my wife. Um, because it's, uh, it's kind of a GoTo rescue medication for her, for muscle cramps. And if anybody's ever had them. You know, there are no laughing matter. I mean, the most scared I ever was, uh, was when she was having cramps that just were not resolving.

[00:12:33] And I, I was a second away from calling nine one, one. I don't know, it's scary stuff, but then I don't know, five, 10 minutes of taking a good absorbable, magnesium they're a lot less or gone. And she's not the only one that because I've seen that happen. So given all that it does and the evidence for widespread deficiency and it's [00:13:00] availability, I think it's easily, the most overlooked under utilized supplement out there.

[00:13:05] So here are your guidelines women. Okay. I would shoot for at least 300 milligrams a day and men at least 400 milligrams of either magnesium, aspirate, citrate. Pichola Nate or, or take it or takes them particular, do a nice job doing double duty elsewhere, which is kind of what I was saying with Cynthia.

[00:13:27] Right. It's very, it effects a lot more than just magnesium related issues. Um, it's kind of hard to find, but it's worth it. So, and that's also the reason by the way you see, or erotic acid in Cynthia gym or a Tate's are a kind of last ditch. For minerals and other things that the body does not absorb well when you bind them to an oral tape, boom, amazing things happen.

[00:13:58] And magnesium is one of those things. [00:14:00] So for athletes in particular, magnesium orotate would be my. Go to source. So

[00:14:07] Carl Lanore: [00:14:07] we have a sponsor audio coming back. Can you lower your volume? Just a little bit, Rob, because my voice is coming back at me. So we have a sponsor called BiOptimizers and they make a product called magnesium breakthrough.

[00:14:21] If you go to the website, magnesium breakthrough. Uh, we used to have a special link, but we haven't been promoting it.

[00:14:28] Coach Rob Regish: [00:14:28] Yep.

[00:14:32] Carl Lanore: [00:14:32] Let me make sure this is the rep, but we have a sponsor called BiOptimizers. They have a pro yeah, this is that they have a product called magnesium breakthrough. It is every form of magnesium that you could imagine. In a, in a, in about four different capsules, all the ones you listed plus other ones. Mmm, wow.

[00:14:49] Coach Rob Regish: [00:14:49] Yes. So I want to check that

[00:14:52] Carl Lanore: [00:14:52] out. Yeah. So go, go to the website, magnesium breakthrough.com. You try using the code SHR or SHR 10. If that doesn't [00:15:00] work, just let them know. You heard about it here on superhero radio, because that is a, that, that that's the best magnesium supplement I've ever seen. And like I said, it's got, uh, and Danny, that should answer your question.

[00:15:13] Uh, both with Rob said, um, so magnesium glycinate is a good form. It's actually a really good course to take at night before bed because of the glycine that it's bonded to will relax you. So yes it is, but they're all good for different things. They all do different things that a month and a half, two months ago.

[00:15:34] I did a show just about magnesium with the folks from BiOptimizers. If you can go find that show, maybe I'll try to find it during the break and post the link because they discuss the value of every different form of magnesium and what it does for you. So I'll get that.

[00:15:51] Coach Rob Regish: [00:15:51] I'll get that

[00:15:52] Carl Lanore: [00:15:52] now. I don't normally do this, but because you used the word deficiency so many times [00:16:00] in that last conversation, I have to tell a joke.

[00:16:03] Coach Rob Regish: [00:16:03] I hope you,

[00:16:04] Carl Lanore: [00:16:04] everyone will humor me.

[00:16:06] Coach Rob Regish: [00:16:06] So

[00:16:07] Carl Lanore: [00:16:07] it's Italian couple. They're trying to get pregnant and she can't get pregnant. So she goes to the OB GYN and she gets examined. And the OB OB GYN says, you know, you, you have a deficiency in your uterus. Nope. She goes back home and a husband, Angelo says, what did you find out?

[00:16:27] She says, the doctor told me I have a fit in my uterus. He said, what are you talking about? That's crazy. Go back to that doctor and get there. Okay. Explanation from him. So she goes back to the doctor. She's doctor, my husband, Angelo. He doesn't understand what you said. And so the doctor says you have a deficiency in your uterus and you get pregnant.

[00:16:49] It'll be a miracle. She goes back and Angela said, what did the doctors say? She says, well, he said, I have a fish in my uterus. And if I get pregnant will be a [00:17:00] macro. I had to tell that joke. I'm sorry, because you kept saying the word deficiency, it made it, it brought back the name that joke to me for, for a second.

[00:17:10] Hi, Pat Tanaka says I've been using a lot of weight, waxy, maize. I didn't even think people still use it and express experimented with it for awhile. But don't see what the big deal is. Yeah. I'm with you, isn't it supposed to be better than sugar or at least in post-workout drinks? Hell, my mother used to use waxy Mesa starched shirts.

[00:17:30] That's what comes out of those cans that they used to use the starch shirts when you're that's it.

[00:17:35] Coach Rob Regish: [00:17:35] Yeah. And, and so what he's really talking about here are. Um, in one sense, it's what you said, right? It's it's no big deal. It's really no big deal. Right. And on the other sense, um, it represents an entire class of compounds called designer carbohydrates, which were really hot years ago, but they're still used in sports [00:18:00] nutrition, and I still use one of them, which I'll discuss, but to really understand waxy maize, you need to understand the history of.

[00:18:08] Carbohydrates and sports nutrition, because history is repeating itself. So when in the early 1980s, Mike zoom, pano, who co-wrote the underground steroid handbook with Dan Dushane, he came across the most interesting discovery, uh, maltodextrin. And so the deal with maltodextrin. Is that depending upon how many glucose molecule molecules are put together, you know, to, to a lot more, uh, it behaves somewhere between the sugar and the starch.

[00:18:43] And it was really, you know, it wasn't out there as a supplement. Certainly. In fact, prior to its use in bodybuilding, the primary exposure you had to, it was on the back of a postage stamp. And so, um, it was unique and zoom [00:19:00] pano went and he started to shop it around. He first pitched it to Wieder who very famously passed on it.

[00:19:09] Whereas unibrow, on the other hand, in some of you may be old enough to remember this unit pro went all in. With a product called carbo Plex. And when carbo Plex hit it, didn't just revolutionize bodybuilding. It went worldwide. So in sports nutrition, it found its way into everything from protein bars to weight gainers, um, in large part because it was so inexpensive when weight gainers were hot, the primary ingredient in every weight gainer.

[00:19:44] Was maltodextrin. And typically you bought two to four, sometimes five or more pounds of this stuff. Maltodextrin, at least at that time was 50 cents a pound. And you know, these weight gainers were [00:20:00] going for 40, 50, sometimes more dollars. And this is 20, 25 years ago. So. Uh, it certainly got put to work in sports nutrition, but today you can find maltodextrin in everything from, uh, infant, infant formula to putting to bake

[00:20:18] Carl Lanore: [00:20:18] Jackson.

[00:20:18] It's actually a horrible, it's actually a horrible, I'm a high-glycemic it's supposed to be low glycaemic, but it's really not. It's a horrible carbohydrate source. It's

[00:20:29] Coach Rob Regish: [00:20:29] horrible. Yeah. Cheap. A lot of them, a lot of us found that out the hard way, particularly with those weight gainers, but as with everything else, consumers eventually demanded more.

[00:20:45] And so, uh, when they started hearing about designer carbohydrates, This time, it was from Dan Dushane and anything that came from dance lips was, was pretty much gospel. Um, he talked about [00:21:00] it. He talked about the fact that eventually we would be able to selective tailor carbohydrates into fast, medium and long chains and therefore, uh, Regulate its impact on blood sugar and use it at an appropriate time.

[00:21:20] Whether you wanted a, a long release one for a marathon, or you wanted a quick release, one for post workout to get insulin up. He was really hot on this stuff. The first one to my memory that hit the market was by target. I don't even know if they make it.

[00:21:39] Carl Lanore: [00:21:39] It's still out there and VITAS ago. Um, said that their product, that was the one that was studied for the low molecular weight carbohydrate source.

[00:21:50] The low molecular weight carbohydrates source that was studied was from potato Witauga wasn't from potato. They got called on the carpet [00:22:00] for that. Remember that? I don't know if you remember that when the research on low molecular weight carbohydrates sources came out, it was done on potato starch. Not cornstarch and, and Vitoria was cornstalk.

[00:22:14] I believe.

[00:22:16] Coach Rob Regish: [00:22:16] Go ahead.

[00:22:16] Carl Lanore: [00:22:16] No, no. I said if I toggle was corn starch, I believe.

[00:22:22] Coach Rob Regish: [00:22:22] Can you hear me?

[00:22:22] Carl Lanore: [00:22:22] Yeah, I can go ahead.

[00:22:23] Coach Rob Regish: [00:22:23] Yeah, you hear me? Okay. Yeah. Okay. So in fact, I think by target was formula change. I'm almost certain of it between what was originally sold and then what was sold later on.

[00:22:35] Carl Lanore: [00:22:35] Yeah. Yeah. Cause they got caught, they got called on the carpet for using a study, but using something different.

[00:22:40] Coach Rob Regish: [00:22:40] Yeah. Yeah. Right. And so eventually other products appeared and it became very confusing, you know, between maltodextrin and like target and, and high molecular weight modified starches. One thing that the public public was [00:23:00] able to grasp, and I'm not sure why they thought they wanted waxy maize. And the sad truth of the matter is this white waxy maize is just another name for cornstarch.

[00:23:15] And so, um, most of them, in fact, most of the ma waxy maize being sold back then, and maybe even now was just that it was corn starch. Which, by the way, if you go to your local grocery store, you can buy big bags of fluffy white powder. It's cornstarch for a dollar or two. And so I did this. And I brought it home and I had a big five pound jug of, you know, super duper waxy maize powder right next to it.

[00:23:47] It was the same

[00:23:49] Carl Lanore: [00:23:49] day when you looked at it. And, and when you, when you pray, when you squeeze it between your hands, it has that squishy squeaky field. Right. It kind of, yeah. You know what I'm talking about?

[00:23:58] Coach Rob Regish: [00:23:58] Yeah. [00:24:00] And, and so, and so here, I've got huge bags of it, right? For maybe a total of $4. I paid 40, $45 for five pounds of the same damn thing, because it was sold by a sports nutrition company.

[00:24:16] So, um, you know, that's just long story short there. Waxy maize is nothing special. Um, there are. Designer carbohydrates, some of which are worth it. And so I'll, I'll put up a stick in the sand here. Um, I like, uh, dr. Galina's car Bolan. In fact, when I, in 2012, I did gluco. I stuck myself a lot with the glucometer.

[00:24:47] Testing these various formulas to get to the optimal intro workout drinks. I did VITAS ago, I did car carboplatin. I did waxy maize. And at the end of the day, the [00:25:00] winner, the clear winner to me was Carl Bolan. And so Carl Boland, if it hasn't changed is derived from three, three sources, potato corn, and what's the other one.

[00:25:16] Potato rice, but it's a very unique product and I will use it post workout, even. On a low carbohydrate diet. If you have the right, um, designer carbohydrate, you will know when you are able to drink 25 to 50 grams of it and the carbs don't show on you. Like they do, like if you had done that with bread, right, right.

[00:25:47] Carl Lanore: [00:25:47] Carbs. Get water under your skin. It spills over.

[00:25:50] Coach Rob Regish: [00:25:50] Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you can sit there if you want with the glucometer and sticking yourself, but I gotta tell you the novelty, you know, rubs off real fast.

[00:25:59] Carl Lanore: [00:25:59] I know. [00:26:00] So there, there are two forms of sugar. If you want to use it for pre an intro workout that I can tell you a fantastic, I don't use sugar.

[00:26:11] I train fasted, but if I'm going to train and I need something to get me through a long arduous, Session I'll use cyclical, cyclical, extra and cyclical. Dextrin is one. The other one is D ribosome. The ribosome is very expensive.

[00:26:29] Coach Rob Regish: [00:26:29] Um,

[00:26:29] Carl Lanore: [00:26:29] but both of these forms of sugar will be exclusively used to produce muscle, energy, and ATP, and will be out of your bloodstream in an hour.

[00:26:42] They're very fast acting and that's why you should use them. Korean during workouts de Ribos is actually a sugar they give to heart failure patients because de ribosome is preferentially used by the heart to pump [00:27:00] your heart is the limiting factor on how hard you can train. Your brain may want to train longer.

[00:27:06] But when your heart feels like you're putting it in the danger zone, it tells the brain stop. So things like, uh, L a Seattle, Seattle L-carnitine and D Ribos and Maggie magnesium. Those are three golden work out strategies because they make the heart capable of working harder. And the other thing is sick dextrin.

[00:27:34] If you're a trained fasted slash keto slash low carb person, and like, you're, you don't want to use something. Of course you want to stay in ketosis. If you take cyclical dextrin towards, start out with 20 to 30 grams. Some people, if they you'll know if you're taking too much, cause it'll go, it'll make it go poopy.

[00:27:52] But stay around 20 grams. Stay about 20 grams. Pre-workout just 20 minutes. Like if you drive into the gym, throw it [00:28:00] down, you'll burn through that and you'll, you'll feel different. You'll feel the energy you'll feel strong. And then you'll start to feel when it's wearing off, because all of a sudden you'd be like, man, I think I just I'm done now, but it'll burn off and you won't have high blood sugar levels after your training.

[00:28:15] So you don't have to worry about being kicked out of ketosis or anything like that. Those are two magic sugars. Nobody talks about nobody.

[00:28:22] Coach Rob Regish: [00:28:22] It's totally DYI most out there in bulk. Bolkestein

[00:28:26] Carl Lanore: [00:28:26] expensive. I mean, I was buying it for my father when my father had heart failure. I was giving him yeah. That's the Sinatra, dr.

[00:28:33] Stephen Sinatra, who was a cardiologist who cracked people's chest over to save them. He created the Sinatra protocol. If you have anybody in your life that is struggling with heart failure, this is, this is a great first step to saving their lives. There are other steps too, that require a little bit more aggressive treatment with some

[00:28:53] Coach Rob Regish: [00:28:53] peptides and stuff like that.

[00:28:55] Carl Lanore: [00:28:55] Magnesium. Acetylcarnitine and de [00:29:00] Ribos will change their lives. My ex mother-in-law when she was on, she had CLPD, her heart was failing and we got her on that and she was able to get up and walk around and be active again. So it really works. But now think about this. If it'll save someone who's under, that's seeing a heart start to fail, what will it do for performance?

[00:29:23] Think about it. If it can save somebody from the precipice of heart failure, imagine what it could do for you. If you train hard and you want, and you want your heart to really frigging work with you.

[00:29:35] Coach Rob Regish: [00:29:35] I remember when it was rolled out, kinda, you know, they were positioning it as maybe the next Korea team and it was iron man, the old iron man magazine.

[00:29:47] It was their supplement

[00:29:49] Carl Lanore: [00:29:49] expensive. Yes. Now, now, now, now with selling a little jar, this big, I think I paid like $25 for each one of those for my father.

[00:30:00] [00:29:59] Coach Rob Regish: [00:29:59] Wow. Yeah. It's um, it's an interesting and overlooked ingredient. I'll give you that. And a lot of things, times people forget that, right? It's a sugar, technically a sugar, but I remember the studies.

[00:30:13] I remember the studies done on the heart patients. Uh, because that's, you know, I said, okay, what is this stuff? And I started to look into it and it was all there, man. People with compromised hearts, they're giving this stuff to them and they're making turnarounds like crazy.

[00:30:31] Carl Lanore: [00:30:31] You remember Andre, Andre, our friend in South Africa.

[00:30:33] He just posted a question. He says, Hey coach, what about multisig? Click Dexter. And I think that's what I'm just talking about now.

[00:30:40] Coach Rob Regish: [00:30:40] Yeah. It's the same thing as what you're saying.

[00:30:42] Carl Lanore: [00:30:42] Yeah. Cyclical

[00:30:43] Coach Rob Regish: [00:30:43] magic. Right. This is what confused it is. It's a very confusing topic. Um, uh, branch cyclodextrin, multi-site, gastrin a waxy maize, a lot of things, people just throw their hands up and say, well, [00:31:00] how am I supposed to know?

[00:31:01] Here's, like I said before, just do the, do the mirror drink 25 to 50 grams. And if it doesn't show on you at all, And you don't have, like, you don't get real sleepy or you get real crazy, then, you know, you have the designer carbohydrate for you.

[00:31:21] Carl Lanore: [00:31:21] Yeah, absolutely. We have a lot of questions loading up and we will get to every question and comment.

[00:31:26] I promise you, so stick with us here. We're going to take a quick commercial break. And when we come back, we'll pick it up on the other side. Stay tuned. No more jokes. I won't waste any more, any more time. I promise

[00:31:35] Coach Rob Regish: [00:31:35] this is the superhuman channel,

[00:31:37] Carl Lanore: [00:31:37] doing reps

[00:31:38] Coach Rob Regish: [00:31:38] with the weight of the world.

[00:31:43] Carl Lanore: [00:31:43] Welcome back. Welcome back. We got a lot of people listening to the show live. It makes my heart filled with joy because all of you are warriors helping us overcome the horrible treatment we're getting from Facebook right now. And we know that this is what they're doing. They're doing it on purpose. You [00:32:00] know what.

[00:32:00] That's okay. This show has been around for 14. It's going to be 15 years in November, third week of November. Yeah. And I've had lots of obstacles. I had a judge give my ex wife the URL for my website and my traffic went from 300,000 visitors a month to zero like that. I mean, I've had so many obstacles try to take this show down if it, if nothing else.

[00:32:25] I won't allow anybody to take the show down cause we actually help people. Unlike Facebook, unlike Facebook, we actually change lives. All right. Let's uh, let's go with some questions that are showing up and then we'll go back to the ones that were mailed in how's that sound? So Tommy D asked this question earlier and I don't know anything about it to overseas nootropic research, chemical vendors, chemical collective, and.

[00:32:50] Mondiaal K both closed their doors to us customers on the same day, September 17th, any info on recent regulation changes, what do you think could be just the [00:33:00] same owners and they went out of business?

[00:33:02] Coach Rob Regish: [00:33:02] Well, yeah, that that's news to me. Um, and I'm not saying it's, that's not the case, but, um, It almost sounds like, uh, if in fact there's some sort of regulation almost sounds like the FDA published some bullets or warrant, right?

[00:33:19] So to their website would be my first, uh, stop, you know, uh, with respect to new tropics altogether vendors are I've noticed are very, very different in what they are willing to ship to the United States. Uh, there's, there's a con there's a concern and it's a legitimate concern that they will be swept up in these regulations that, you know, Washington likes to come out with case in point, you know, the prohormone companies or the SAR companies.

[00:33:54] They all, almost everything came out of China. Right. Well, you [00:34:00] know, as of one, one, 2020, there were some law changes in China, which are really cracking down on those people. So it's a long way of saying, uh, there are more, more than a few that like to keep a very low profile and this may be part of their very low profile.

[00:34:21] It's not, it's also not forever. I've seen some nootropic outlets say, you know what? We're no longer shipping that stuff.

[00:34:28] Carl Lanore: [00:34:28] And three months later, they're just not shipping to the U S I'm on their website. All they've changed is they're not shipping to the U S. That's it.

[00:34:35] Coach Rob Regish: [00:34:35] Yeah. Sometimes they'll, they'll make a change.

[00:34:38] They'll stop shipping three months, three months later after the ship it's off. Yeah.

[00:34:44] Carl Lanore: [00:34:44] You know, during an, in 2006, I want to say, uh, when we had, uh, one of the Olympics here in the United States, our government told China if any growth hormone shows up in the United States, we're going to hold you guys [00:35:00] responsible.

[00:35:01] So the Chinese government. Um, identified the, uh, head of their FDA as allowing growth hormone to leave China and go to the U S they killed him. They, uh, they, they put them in front of a foreign car. They kill. And then the new guy who stepped up then I was like, I'm not going to get killed. So they did.

[00:35:24] They like all growth hormone to the United States, dried up Anthony Robertson. I did a show about it, all growth hormones in the United States dried up. And everybody was like, Oh my God, we're never going to get growth hormone again. No, once the Olympics were over here, it was business as usual. And you can get all the growth hormone you want from China all over again.

[00:35:41] Coach Rob Regish: [00:35:41] So, yeah. Well, that's what I'm talking about. You know, repercussions that they might be, this might be an exercise in avoiding those and they'll sell they, they lay low for awhile.

[00:35:51] Carl Lanore: [00:35:51] Yes. So Danny says, like you said, show Facebook the biggest finger. We are, those of you who are here are helping us. Do that. So here's [00:36:00] a question from Rob Hartman.

[00:36:01] He said, um, are you still working on formulating a pre-workout or is that on hold for the time being

[00:36:10] Coach Rob Regish: [00:36:10] that is actually a project that I had to abandon. That's the bad news. The good news is. Every single ingredient, the entire formula I am disclosing in next month's bulletin.

[00:36:24] Carl Lanore: [00:36:24] So you can make your own now that's it.

[00:36:27] Coach Rob Regish: [00:36:27] Right. Exactly. So I thought to myself, look, you know, if I can't do this and do it well, then these guys, at least they can order the ROS and, and use it. So, uh, yeah, that's kinda my way of trying to, trying to make the turn a positive or turn the negative into a positive.

[00:36:47] Carl Lanore: [00:36:47] That's very selfless of you. That's wonderful.

[00:36:50] Yeah. Okay. Let's see. We have one more question. We'll answer. And then we'll go on to the pre, uh, so, uh, Chris kgs, hope I pronounced [00:37:00] that. Right. Chris coach, Rob, I purchased GABA in powder form, as mentioned in your bulletin. Am I able to mix it in with coffee or tea or juice instead of water. I used to just throw it in my mouth and rinse it down.

[00:37:14] Coach Rob Regish: [00:37:14] Um, you know, my sense is all of those, would it be acceptable? The really important part of that. Is trying to do so on as empty a stomach as possible. Now they will tell you that GABA doesn't cross the blood brain barrier. I believe it does, uh, your cue as to whether or not it did. And it's working is usually the, the parasthesia of the slight flushing effect that people yeah.

[00:37:46] Right. And then, and then you get, um, you know, you start to nod off because it's an inhibitory neuro transmitter. Yeah. That's a dynamite for sleep. So. You know, though those seem acceptable to [00:38:00] me, I would probably choose a coffee or tea first before juice only because I don't want you to confuse the GABAs effects with, you know, a sudden rise in drop in blood sugar.

[00:38:14] If you're using, you know, like orange juice. Very high-glycemic.

[00:38:20] Carl Lanore: [00:38:20] Um, let's go ahead and just get these other two questions out of the way. Cause these are people that are sitting here watching the show right now. So this one comes from Jayla drew. He says, uh, I'm starting TRT. This Wednesday said at this time I am I'm morbidly obese.

[00:38:34] So where should I perform the sub Q injections? Thank you. If you're going to do Q so first, can I jump in on this

[00:38:41] Coach Rob Regish: [00:38:41] real quick? Sure. Um,

[00:38:44] Carl Lanore: [00:38:44] I can assure you that you don't want to inject it in where there's a lot of fat. Uh, if you inject, um, Probably testosterone and annotate or sippy eight that you're going to be using.

[00:38:57] Um, if you hit the fat cells, you're [00:39:00] going to end up with a welt, like a golf ball. That's going to last like a couple of weeks. Trust me on this. I figured this out. I, I was the first person to start doing sub Q in 2012. I was talking about it on the show. Dr. Crystal told me it was a bad idea. Then he wrote a book about it.

[00:39:17] So the best thing to do is. Find where you can grab skin and pull it and it's just skin and it, and it's like, if you can, if you can do this with it, it's just skin. If you can do this, that like that, it's just skin. If you, if you're pulling skin and it's, it's a, it's a, it's a lump like this, this fat under there, don't inject it there.

[00:39:40] Cause you will absolutely end up with a welt in a couple of days from the benzyl alcohol. It'll irritate the fat cells and it'll make them inflamed. And I don't even know if you're getting the whole dose, when that happens. One of the things I've always thought about it was great. I have this lump here for 22 days.

[00:39:57] Is it releasing anything or is it because it's [00:40:00] inflamed, you know, is it not? Um, so. Make sure it's area where you can grab just skin and pull just skin and then get the insulin syringe down into there and release the oil there. You won't end up you'll feel it you'll feel it on your skin. You'll feel a little blister.

[00:40:17] It feels like that's good. Cause you won't end up with the welt that so many people end up with. Okay, Rob, go ahead.

[00:40:25] Coach Rob Regish: [00:40:25] Yeah, I was, I'm glad you mentioned that because I'm. That's something we never talk about. When, when someone says something to you. You know, in my mind, in a lot of people's minds, I think it's, well, you shoot it where the rest of us shoot it on the lower abdomen, you know, pinch a little bit.

[00:40:42] Um, but like you said, you know, finding an area, I guess, where your leanest, that could be the top of your thighs or arms or forearms

[00:40:51] Carl Lanore: [00:40:51] or the automobile thigh. I find that most people as the thigh. Gets closer to the knee. There's no fat deposition [00:41:00] there. So you can go on the right side of the left side of the, uh, of the thigh, right above the knee.

[00:41:06] Most people's skin is very thin right there. Just put it right there.

[00:41:09] Coach Rob Regish: [00:41:09] Boom. Yeah. And you know, what my objective would be to get as is consistent, consistently optimal levels as possible. Get that up, you know, and as far as the obese thing, listen, man, it doesn't matter where you are. It matters where you're going.

[00:41:28] And that sounds like just by taking the TRT step, he's very serious about where he's going. I bet you, in six months, we'll hear back. He lost a lot.

[00:41:37] Carl Lanore: [00:41:37] Let me know if that answers your question. Uh, Jayla drew, and then this last question from a live listener right now is bro, do you even tell RO I love this guy scream name.

[00:41:46] It's so funny. So he says, are there any tips or tricks or supplements that would limit hot hypertrophy from anabolic steroid and hard training? Yeah. This is a favorite area. You want to jump in there and then I'll tell.

[00:42:00] [00:41:59] Coach Rob Regish: [00:41:59] Yeah, I mean, to me, this is really tough. One. It's like, okay. You know, we know. If you're using lots and lots of antibiotics for a long time, it does result in at least in some people left ventricle hypertrophy.

[00:42:13] We also know people that never touch steroids, that lift weights get the same thing. Um, and it's usually never an issue as far as heart healthy nutrients. Uh, I'm no expert in, in, you know, how to shield the heart from damage there. I would think things like, um, tribulus coenzyme, Q 10 Ribos uh, things like that, that we've discussed that show up in studies, treating heart maladies, whatever they might be.

[00:42:46] But, um, yeah, you know, I mean, my doctor told me, he said, ah, you got athlete's heart. I said, what does that mean? You said it's just a little bit bigger. I think so. So what he said, [00:43:00] it goes a long way along with being a bigger person. Right. Um, but I'm not aware that there's a list anywhere of protective nutrients.

[00:43:09] You got thoughts on that?

[00:43:11] Carl Lanore: [00:43:11] I do. And this is something that,

[00:43:13] Coach Rob Regish: [00:43:13] okay,

[00:43:14] Carl Lanore: [00:43:14] this is a favorite topic of mine. Okay, good. That, that answered his question. So this is a favorite topic. Topic of point, the reason that bodybuilders weightlifters natural or anabolic

[00:43:26] Coach Rob Regish: [00:43:26] steroid users.

[00:43:28] Carl Lanore: [00:43:28] Develop a hypertrophy or even my apathy of the heart is because of the hemodynamics of Valsalva puts a great deal of strain on the heart.

[00:43:38] If you're squatting four or five, 600 pounds, if you're dead lifting four or five, 600 pounds.

[00:43:44] Coach Rob Regish: [00:43:44] Now,

[00:43:44] Carl Lanore: [00:43:44] salvia is a momentary pronounced rise in blood pressure. We're talking your blood pressure during a squat or a deadlift could go up to, um, you know, uh, 800 over 600. I mean, you know, we're all looking at, Oh, so one 20 [00:44:00] over 80.

[00:44:00] Yeah. I mean, this is, this is what Val salvia is. When you lift weights a lot, the heart gets bigger. There's two different types of changes in the heart. There's pathological or physiological. Pathological means it's bad. Physiological means the heart's getting bigger and stronger. The way you differentiate the changes is the, is the wall thickness.

[00:44:23] When the sinus gets bigger. The entire sinus gets bigger. That's good. When the wall gets sticker, the sinus gets smaller. That's bad. So that's pathological versus physiological. When you add anabolic steroids into the

[00:44:39] Coach Rob Regish: [00:44:39] mix,

[00:44:40] Carl Lanore: [00:44:40] hemodynamics change all the time. So not just when you're lifting, but your blood pressure could be higher throughout the day at different times when you're doing things.

[00:44:48] So the hemodynamics are what change the heart. They make the heart bigger. Because the heart's having to handle all this pressure, the number one thing. And so they, so [00:45:00] they did a study on rodents. They clamped the AA order in order to create back pressure into the heart, the same type that we see in the hemodynamic changes of Valsalva weightlifting and anabolic steroid use, they gave one group copper.

[00:45:19] The equivalent of about two milligrams a day to a human and the other group, they let them do what they were going to do. The group that got copper did not see any morphological changes in the heart. The heart did

[00:45:31] Coach Rob Regish: [00:45:31] not.

[00:45:33] Carl Lanore: [00:45:33] The copper is your best friend. If you're a weightlifter. Now, if you're eating foods high in copper, which are usually vegetables, They're higher copper, then say, you know, you get a lot of zinc from beef.

[00:45:44] You don't get a lot of copper from beef. If you're eating foods that have a lot of copper in them, you're going to be safe. As long as you get in a couple of milligrams a day in your food, do the math, figure it out. But if you're not by a key laded or Chile, however you like to say C H E L a [00:46:00] T D a kelated copper supplement.

[00:46:03] It's usually kelated to an amino acid and start taking one and a half to two milligrams a day. And that will protect your heart from starting to undergo those changes. And I've told this, I have female bodybuilders who have been listening to the shows and I've had them reach out to me and their doctor has said, you know, cause they're using anabolic steroids, especially testosterone automatically gives them cardiomyopathy and cardio hypertrophy.

[00:46:31] And I tell them, make sure you're getting enough copper and sure enough, they'll start taking copper. They'll go back. In a year to have an exam done. And the doctor says, yeah, your heart looks good. You know, we don't see any changes. It's great. Copper, copper, every bodybuilder should be taking copper.

[00:46:48] Coach Rob Regish: [00:46:48] And, and so that's a literally, could be an, and is a life saving tip.

[00:46:53] We're a little spokes. Absolutely. Yeah, absolutely.

[00:46:56] Carl Lanore: [00:46:56] All right. We're going to take a quick commercial break. When we come back, we're going to get back to [00:47:00] the questions that were mailed in ahead of time. You're watching and listening to. The blueprint power hour with coach Rob . If you like what you hear, support the show by going to coach Rob ruggish.com browse around, read some of his stuff.

[00:47:16] He's got supplements there. He's got books there, the blueprint, a bullet, the bullet proof blueprint bolt, and you can sign up for and get weekly. Is it weekly or monthly?

[00:47:26] Coach Rob Regish: [00:47:26] It is monthly.

[00:47:27] Carl Lanore: [00:47:27] Okay. I'm sorry. We get it monthly. That's okay. It's a lot of information. It'll take you the month to go through it, but check it out.

[00:47:32] Go to  dot com today. Be stronger tomorrow. We'll be right back with more supremer media

[00:47:46] Coach Rob Regish: [00:47:46] and have my

[00:47:46] Carl Lanore: [00:47:46] Michael and I did that a lot with welcome back to superhuman radio. This is the blueprint power hour. The next question comes from.

[00:47:55] Lance  bought a country. Nice Italian name. He says, I just [00:48:00] want them to say thanks for your suggestion about boswellia Serrata the stuff has been a lifesaver for me and helped a lot with chronic pain. Is there anything new on it?

[00:48:12] Coach Rob Regish: [00:48:12] Yeah. You know, um, that kind of feedback on boswellia is very, very common. I get multiple emails every week saying how much it's helped them.

[00:48:24] Um, and so, um, I'm grateful for that obviously, but, um, you know, having this pain that I do this, uh, in my right elbow, Well, severe arthritis, bone on bone, nothing right. Compared to people who have it in their hips and knees and other weight bearing joints. But it did give me an appreciation for what those people go through.

[00:48:50] Um, and how to address that effectively with supplementation and other techniques to make it through your day and hopefully [00:49:00] perform at a level that you want to perform at. So let's, let's first review some of the, what I call the base compounds that most people with chronic pain, uh, should be using. Fish oil, you know, Oh, secret they're anywhere from three to 12 grams a day, I've seen people take, I would encourage you to experiment with products that are a little higher in EPA than DHA and maybe vice versa, because I hear some pretty, you know, pretty profound feedback from some people who, for example, they'll say, you know what?

[00:49:36] I was taking six grams of this fish, regular fish oil every day. Wasn't putting a dent in it. I switched to a high, very high EPA versus DSA ratio. It, you know, a million times better. So, uh, fish oil curcumin, we've discussed that many times one to two grams a day. Um, either with bioperine or, or some other high [00:50:00] absorption, um, you know, compound I'll call it BCM 95 is one.

[00:50:07] Um, Having the curcumin complex. With lack of Finn and other things like that, too, just taking it with some fat will help as well. Um, so curcumin CSUs, quadrangular Doris, uh, around 1600 milligrams a day. For most formulas, I found one super strong one that's effective at just six to 800 bucks, the grams a day.

[00:50:31] Uh, so very happy with that. The boswellia Serrata if you are going to use it, I would suggest looking for the. Operate flex brand, which is AP R E S operas flex. If you can get it, uh, it's standardized for the highest percentage of boswellic acids that I've seen a new one to some people cause I haven't made, I haven't discussed it here yet.

[00:50:58] Black, black cumin [00:51:00] seed, uh, find missaid brands, T H Y M O CID, uh, at around a gram a day. Uh, that's not something I've used yet, but I've heard enough good things from enough people that I trust that it's certainly doing something. In some cases, people have reported it better than anything else, you know, that I just, uh, I just mentioned, okay.

[00:51:26] Interestingly, some of the people saying that they had the worst pain for the longest period of time. So just take that for what it's worth. Black cumin seeds seems to really do the trick for some folks, glucosamine, chondroitin MSM. By this point, this is known to everyone in the world. It's in every drug store.

[00:51:45] Um, It is probably your quote unquote foundation supplement. If you have joint pain, especially, you know, are sporadic issues, 1500 of 3000 milligrams a [00:52:00] day of glucose to me about half that for controlling and MSN GLC, 2000, like I tell him, tell it like it is, they make the best stuff. Yeah. You know, if you're going to use glucosamine, conjoint and go

[00:52:13] Carl Lanore: [00:52:13] they're active statin product is the best actress.

[00:52:16] Coach Rob Regish: [00:52:16] Yeah. Yeah. And, and you know, the funny thing about that product is you look at the label and you say, you know what? That just doesn't look like there's anything special on there. But every single person I've talked to that have used, it said it was the best stuff I've ever used.

[00:52:31] Carl Lanore: [00:52:31] So it takes, it takes one month.

[00:52:33] It takes 'em. One molecule of D glucuronic acid and three molecules of

[00:52:41] Coach Rob Regish: [00:52:41] L

[00:52:44] Carl Lanore: [00:52:44] the bottom line is in order to make one molecule of hyaluronic acid, it takes two specific basic forms of, uh,  and glow and [00:53:00] Glucosomine and the thing that's magic, inactive status is they have the exact precursors. So if you just take glucosamine or control it, and by itself, it has to be broken down to its metabolites.

[00:53:10] They've isolated, the two metabolites that when combined create hyaluronic acid. That's why people see magic from active step. It's a patented it's actually holds five patents. Step blend. Five patents. Yeah. Good stuff. Um, you were talking about fish oil. I wanted

[00:53:28] Coach Rob Regish: [00:53:28] to jump in there. Yeah.

[00:53:32] Carl Lanore: [00:53:32] I was going to just

[00:53:32] Coach Rob Regish: [00:53:32] say something about Fisher.

[00:53:33] Yeah, just real quick.

[00:53:34] Carl Lanore: [00:53:34] So if you go to super human radio.net, go to the bottom and there's a bunch of little banner ads, a little logos at the bottom. If you click the one that says Metagenics. And then search hit the little search and search for S P M active S P M active S P M. Active is the [00:54:00] forms of omegas in EPA responsible.

[00:54:08] For shutting off inflammation in the body, actually nuts, shutting it off, making it resolve SPM stands for special ProResolv mediators. What Metagenics has done, they've identified the component of EPA that has this marvelous effect on inflammation. And they have just that the tiny little capsules, like the, your gel caps, you buy a bottle of that you take today day for about two weeks or until you notice.

[00:54:37] Your chronic pain is going away. And then you just take one a day. Everybody who takes it tells me that it's not cheap, but it's legit. It's exactly what you said. It's the form of EPA that is responsible for making inflammation, solve its problem and bringing it. Doesn't stop up inflammation. [00:55:00] It makes the inflammation finish to job SPM actives, go to Superman radio.net.

[00:55:05] Bottom of the page. Look for the Metagenics logo. Click that when you get to the Metagenics website, just search for S P M actives, that's it?

[00:55:15] Coach Rob Regish: [00:55:15] Yeah, it explains nicely why I said, you know, people that sometimes switched to higher EPA formulas. Boom. Yeah.

[00:55:23] Carl Lanore: [00:55:23] You can eliminate all the other stuff and just get the pro resolving mediators that way.

[00:55:28] Coach Rob Regish: [00:55:28] Yeah. The last supplement I'll mention. Uh, falls into the category of you can teach an older dog, some new tricks because forever in the day I was here, how good CBD was. And because I had, this is interesting because I have a pain relief and, uh, I'll say significant relief for the elbow because I was using glucosamine and CSUs and fish oil and things like that.

[00:55:59] I [00:56:00] never got around to try and CBD. Well, the wife was at the health food store. The other day. She saw some, you know, on sale, 50% off or whatever comes home with. A model of it. I think they're 15 million pills. I took two, uh, about three hours maybe before I went to the gym and I could not believe the difference that it made now.

[00:56:31] And I'm going to give you the example, because this is important. So if my pain is a 10 out of 10 here, And it is whenever I just, you know, try to push hard against something. Cause the bones rubbing against the bone by using glucosamine chondroitin that prod things down to let's say a six or a seven, and then CSUs brings it down to let's say a five,

[00:56:57] Carl Lanore: [00:56:57] a roughish oil, a four

[00:57:00] [00:57:00] Coach Rob Regish: [00:57:00] CBD brings it down to almost no pain at all.

[00:57:06] Carl Lanore: [00:57:06] Did you feel anything? Did you feel sluggish? Did you feel anything else besides the resolution of

[00:57:10] Coach Rob Regish: [00:57:10] pain? In fact, I specifically took it that early because I wanted it to sit, just sit still, you know what I mean? And I was waiting. I was like, well, I don't feel any relaxation effects. Maybe I didn't take enough.

[00:57:25] I don't know. Um, but man, I gotta tell ya, uh, dips anything above five reps. Was impossible because of that, the grinding right of the bones, I could do lower reps. And that's what I like to do. Reps heavy weight. Um, but just for yucks yeah, the end of the workout I hopped out on the day dip are, you know, and did as many as possible.

[00:57:50] So, you know, 20 or 30 or something like that, little to no pain, which in my book is a minor [00:58:00] miracle. Now I will also confess to not being the expert on CBD. Um, and I know you've got a new sponsor, right?

[00:58:08] Carl Lanore: [00:58:08] Yeah. We were planet earth CBD. They have great products. And again, if you go to  dot net and go down to the bottom where you'll see all the logos of our sponsors, And click CBD a planet or, and CBD.

[00:58:21] We have a special right now. Um, that's like for people who suffer with pain all day, but we're doing a show with them this week. They have sports related CBD products. They have, they have protein powder. That's infused with CBD. I mean, they got, we're going to be talking about this week. It's funny you bring this up.

[00:58:41] Yeah.

[00:58:42] Coach Rob Regish: [00:58:42] Yeah, I'm on board. What that show?

[00:58:44] Carl Lanore: [00:58:44] I don't know. Um, you know, who knows? Elisa, we got to cover a couple of questions here real quick. So J J Landrieu is the guy who's getting on HRT. He said, should I take copper as well? Can't hurt. Um, people who [00:59:00] carry a lot of body weight tend to have enlarged hearts.

[00:59:04] Okay. They tend to be pathologically enlarged. So it, it can only help you, um, Danny from, uh, uh, thank you so much for sharing this extension of knowledge.

[00:59:16] Coach Rob Regish: [00:59:16] Okay.

[00:59:17] Carl Lanore: [00:59:17] Um, let's see here, bro. Do you even tarot just signed up for the newsletter. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. It looks awesome. And I'm pushing through the archives.

[00:59:25] Of past articles looks like I've got a lot of reading to do you both thank you both for all you do. Yeah. I mean, Rob has like years of archives in there that you get access to just beside that

[00:59:37] Coach Rob Regish: [00:59:37] almost a hundred issues now.

[00:59:39] Carl Lanore: [00:59:39] So he says, do you use CBD with, with, or without turpines what he's really asking you is, do you know if that product is a full spectrum hemp product or is it just a CBD isolate?

[00:59:49] Coach Rob Regish: [00:59:49] You know, I believe it's a full spectrum. If I remember reading the label, I'd have to run over to the kitchen. But yeah. Um, I [01:00:00] I'm glad you asked that question because, um, I guess like other herbs, right? Like , there are companies that standardized for one of the dozens of equity sharing rooms in it. And then there are companies, um, like mass in my products, we use full spectrum stuff.

[01:00:17] So. If you have used both, I would be really interested in hearing from you. Um, because

[01:00:26] Carl Lanore: [01:00:26] I, spectrum is the way to go. Everybody that I've talked to about CBD over the past couple of years tells me that there's so much, there's so much more than just the CBD, the CBD there's turpines there, like, uh, like maybe.

[01:00:42] A hundred different actives in hemp, and most, most of the companies are just isolating the CBD now. And I've heard that the full spectrum stuff is really the way to go. So I'm willing to bet yours is full spectrum if it worked that well on

[01:00:54] Coach Rob Regish: [01:00:54] them. Yeah, I think it is. I was, you know, frankly, I was shocked, [01:01:00] uh, shocked in a good way.

[01:01:02] And it's going to work warrants, I think a much deeper dive on my part. And I'm going to start with the show that you're doing this week. So

[01:01:10] Carl Lanore: [01:01:10] they, that Dave Hartnett is telling bro dude, even towel row, uh, he's gonna love the blueprint, uh, bulletin, literally a ton of info. Thank you for this also,

[01:01:19] Coach Rob Regish: [01:01:19] Dave, thank you so much.

[01:01:21] Yeah, I really appreciate that guys makes the show possible.

[01:01:24] Carl Lanore: [01:01:24] Yeah. Every, every, you know, everything here is for free, but. We just ask that you patronize the sponsors and coach. Rob is one of the sponsors. So we have a question here from Scott, right Steiner. He says, uh, if you had to pick one training program to use, to grow on, what would it be like you say, sometimes the one with the highest success rate in the general training population.

[01:01:50] Coach Rob Regish: [01:01:50] I don't think he meant that, uh, men at this way, he's really asking a loaded question. He's not trying to trick me. I don't think, but it's a loaded question [01:02:00] and it's loaded because here's the real answer. The best training program for you to grow on is usually the one that you're not currently using, which is a clever way of saying almost all programs work to some degree, but, but also that they all will eventually stop working as well.

[01:02:21] Right? When your body adapts to them. Now, having said that there are definitely. Programs that people do better on than others. And I'm talking about big cross sections, right? Of the, of the training population from the skinniest ectomorph to, you know, the biggest endomorph. So let's talk about a few examples if you are young and maybe even if you're not, if you're young though, and you don't grow on 20 rep breathing, squats and pullovers.

[01:02:51] You either are doing something very wrong and not following the program or eating, or you're not cut out for weight training. That's how effective [01:03:00] that program is. Since the 1930s, it has been turning scarecrows into Superman and that's no exaggeration talk to anyone that's used it and done it. Right.

[01:03:11] And they'll tell you the same thing. Secondly, if you've been on five sets of five, For any more than 90 days and you are getting anywhere, then something is very wrong. It's likewise, it is an incredibly effective program and flexible. If you moved your dead lift from 200, for 20 to 300 for 20, but you haven't gained any new muscle.

[01:03:37] It's something is very, very wrong. Uh, that's something by the way is almost always this. Diet, right. That's the other huge player in this thing. So what I'm trying to illustrate here is that, uh, it's not enough just to get one fundamental in this game, right? [01:04:00] You need to get all of them, right. Almost all of the time.

[01:04:04] And that's probably why. Growing muscle is so vexing and why despite scientists, best efforts, they still don't have any universal prescription to write people that consistently and reliably what's muscle on everyone. And I'm talking about a drug prescription that I'm talking about here. This is the frame.

[01:04:28] Relaxing. I spent the, the better part of the last 35 years, trying to find the answer to those questions. And of course I still don't have all the answers, but I do have some, and I can make some blanket recommendations as to how to go about things. If muscle gain is your goal, number one, you want to have a short list of at least half a dozen programs that you know, and methods that your body responds well to.

[01:04:58] Even better [01:05:00] understand how to sequence them for maximum gain, meaning they just build on, on each other. Um, number two, you need to understand precisely how many calories you need to consume on each program. Cause it Def it does differ to register even a minimal game is useful because that also helps to establish.

[01:05:22] Your minimal caloric level that you will need. And three calories are more important to establish than even macros. You can eat the absolute world's perfect macros, you know, matched to your physiology. It's not going to do you a damn bit of good if your calories or too low, you know, go ahead. You can use whatever program you want.

[01:05:48] You can even use drugs with this. And then eat a thousand calories a day. You'll, you'll see exactly what I'm talking about and that's how important it is. Uh, and then finally, [01:06:00] number four, you want to establish how many hours of deep restful sleep that you need each day to perform on that training program.

[01:06:09] And again, it differs. Why does it differ? Because the energy demands of one all allowed set of 20 rep breathing squats. Is quite different than mowing your way through five sets of 10 total tonnage. Okay. Where you're performing 50 reps, but over the course of five sets and that's just one exercise. Um, for most people it's hard to make a blanket recommendation, but for most people, seven hours asleep and up is what you want to shoot for what most people do instead.

[01:06:46] They don't change their training because they're comfortable with it. They don't change their diet or arrest habits. Instead they buy new supplements. We all know how that goes. Right. Um, and there, it [01:07:00] doesn't matter what I say. Nothing's going to change. It's always going to be human nature. I think, um, I would tell you to stop looking for the best program and instead identify at least six good ones, fill in the other blanks and consistently deliver on them.

[01:07:20] And you will stand a chance of gaining. Uh, I'll tell you the single one, the biggest thing you can do to accelerate your progress is to consult someone on. The programs that they think would work best for you? Because if there's some, if it's someone like me, I've been through 35 years of trial and error, I wasted by my own estimates.

[01:07:48] I wasted a large part of my thirties. Trying God knows how many different things that didn't work. And a couple that did, if you can pick someone's brain like that, [01:08:00] do it, take them out to lunch, take them out to dinner, to what, pay them for a session for whatever. Do it, just do it. It's going to save you a lot of time, a lot of money and probably, um, keep you from getting injured.

[01:08:19] Which is why my thirties was a large, large, big mistake. Um, I couldn't train as effectively as possible because I had a glass back and it took me until age 43 to figure out how to fix it. So. Don't learn the hard way. That's all I'm saying.

[01:08:45] Carl Lanore: [01:08:45] Remember, muscle, uh, is from an evolutionary standpoint, not something your body wants strength.

[01:08:52] Your body wants strength. Don't don't don't but muscle is, is very calorically expensive. The more muscle you have, the [01:09:00] more you have to eat. And we spent millions of years, um, being strong enough to do the things that we need to do on a day to day basis. Without putting on extra muscle, because then we had to go hunt for more food.

[01:09:16] Coach Rob Regish: [01:09:16] And so actually detrimental.

[01:09:17] Carl Lanore: [01:09:17] Yeah. So, so your body is designed not to easily put on muscle everyone's is, and, but there are people who have figured out what works for them. And that's the important thing set. The Andrew says, how's your son doing? How are you training him? I'd like to know because I have a 12 year old who I'd like to help too.

[01:09:37] Coach Rob Regish: [01:09:37] Well, the good news is. Maximus is doing great. I appreciate you asking. He is 14. Now. He is almost six two, and he shows no signs of slowing down. Uh, I started training him at age 12. Like your son, you know, is turning her is, and I'll tell you I'm, I'm glad that I did. [01:10:00] Do not believe the nonsense that training or even weights will stunt his growth will do something to his growth plates.

[01:10:09] If anything, I think the kids are going to grow taller because he's going to have right more growth hormone and a transient hits wood within the days of that or that he's training. He's also going to learn hopefully good sleep habits from you. Which we know is when people in their teens grow the most in two years, uh, my son came a long way.

[01:10:36] He, uh, he couldn't barely do squats, body, weight, squats on both legs. And today he can stand on one leg squat all the way down. And I mean all the way down, pause, and then come back up. With 80 additional pounds combined, six 60 pound [01:11:00] dumbbell, 20 pound weight vest. He did that the other day in the gym. Uh, and he is on his way to being able to do that with a hundred pounds.

[01:11:09] That's exciting. You have time. I know he doesn't think it's any big deal. Um, but I tell ya, like the, the people stop to watch him do it because. You know, they, I don't know. Maybe they've never seen it before. Uh, he, his weight is up to 175 pounds. Wow. Which for, yeah. Which for references, he, he is now 30 pounds heavier than I was, uh, when I graduated high school.

[01:11:38] So four years ahead of that, he is not consciously overeating. Like I did. He doesn't have a body image disorder like I did, but he's putting good weight on. Uh, how I've been training him, really. It really is not too much different than how I trained myself. He uses a handful and I would encourage your son [01:12:00] to, to, to learn a handful of big compound multi-joint exercises and follow the law of progressive resistance.

[01:12:09] We make small jumps in weight reps or both every week. Um, You know, keynote doesn't have the buggy for weight training like I did. So we plan accordingly. He trains with me twice a week for around an hour at a time. Yeah. Uh, could he train more frequently? I mean, absolutely at age 15, but do I want him to, you know, dreaded the gym now I want him to look forward to it.

[01:12:39] His goal are different than mine. My goal. When I started was you get big and get big, fast, and it didn't necessarily matter if some fat came along with it. Uh, if I gained weight, I was in a great mood. If I didn't gain weight or God forbid lost weight, [01:13:00] I was depressed for weeks. So we train twice a week just for an hour at a time.

[01:13:05] Um, I try to make his training fun. He brings a friend with him, which is great because although I tell him, Oh, them constantly, this is not a competition. There is naturally a bit of a rivalry, right. On the same exercises. Um, now as for diet, I'm trying to educate him and I, and I want you to educate yourself on the importance of whole foods.

[01:13:33] Um, uh, Which ones contain which macros. And, you know, I got a father that has no idea that potatoes are full of cards. I'm not kidding you, you know? Um, you learn that they, they give it lip service in school, you know, the food, the food pyramid and all that crap.

[01:13:53] Carl Lanore: [01:13:53] Oh yeah. They tell, they tell them beans is a good source of protein or they could tell beans is a protein.

[01:14:00] [01:14:00] I love that. It's the stupidity in that, like, if they even just looked at a can of beans that go. A serving of beans is six grams of protein and 34 grams of carbohydrates. Like that's not a good, that's not a good source of protein. It's a good source of carbohydrates.

[01:14:14] Coach Rob Regish: [01:14:14] Right. And so just, just educating them on big picture, things like that is, is good.

[01:14:21] It's preferable, um, peripherally. He understands what a low carb diet is because when he comes over and being my wife, most of the time, we're eating very low carbs, he has heard and knows a little bit about intermittent fasting. He's not doing any of those things now because

[01:14:40] Carl Lanore: [01:14:40] expose to them, he's exposed to them.

[01:14:42] Exactly.

[01:14:44] Coach Rob Regish: [01:14:44] Yeah. That you said it that's the magic.

[01:14:48] Carl Lanore: [01:14:48] I mean, no parent goes up to their kids and goes, Hey, you want to smoke a cigarette? Right. The kid just quietly watches, the parents smoke cigarettes. Well, next thing you know, you're 12 years old. Is that what the trend is? Smoking cigarettes? Well, how did that happen?

[01:14:59] And [01:15:00] because he was exposed to it, he was exposed to it in an environment where his parents were doing it. And we learned, look, People have to say, we get our genetics from our parents. We do, but we also get our lifestyle from our parents. And if you live a healthy, clean lifestyle, your son or daughter, see that you place a great deal of importance on going to sleep at a certain time.

[01:15:21] They may not want to do it now because they're young and they want to stay up and watch Nickelodeon. But trust me, when they start on their own autonomous path in life, they're going to do the things that they saw you and your wife do. That's it? Yeah. That's it. So that's important.

[01:15:37] Coach Rob Regish: [01:15:37] Yeah. I mean, that's, that's the hope.

[01:15:40] Yeah. Yeah. So, so we're almost now, um, at the end of three years of training, the only way to think about it. And, and so I'll wrap this up by telling you when you, what has been important to me and important to him and by extension [01:16:00] should be important. I think to your son, number one, he's building habits.

[01:16:04] Most people can't train consistently or don't make it a priority training twice a week. He's been doing that for three years. So now it's routine. It's like, it's like getting up and brushing your teeth. You just do it every day. Um, it's part of you and part of your schedule, he's also learning about hard work and just how hard.

[01:16:28] He can push himself. He's had a few days where he pushed a little too hard. He also has days where he doesn't push hard enough. And that's where I give him a little encouragement. The point is that's a learning process and it's different for everyone. Okay. He's also learning about the importance of hard, consistent work.

[01:16:48] I regularly remind him, um, it wasn't all that long ago that he could not do a single dip or a pull up. They use the gravitron [01:17:00] machine. Right. But it wasn't long and now he's doing dips and chins with extra weight tied around his way. Right. Right, right. And so he's getting an appreciation also of, of how eating certain foods can help or hurt you.

[01:17:16] And, and importantly, he's had a few nights of very poor sleep. You know, you can count them on one hand in three years, like all of us. Right. But some of those were due to poor choices, like staying up late playing games. Right. And there's electronics. I made absolutely sure that he dead lifted and did sled sprints and other demanding stuff the next day, so that he could experience for himself how much sleep mattered and believe me, he got it.

[01:17:48] He got it. And then finally, Um, I lead by example and I know you will too. I never asked them my son in the sprint to do [01:18:00] anything that I wouldn't do, or they haven't already seen me doing. And I think at the end of the day, that is the most powerful thing that training with your kids in do for them. They look up to you whether, whether they'll admit that or not, That's the case.

[01:18:20] They look at you for everything to learn, how to walk or talk right to your actions and how you spend your free time and what you eat and what time you go to bed. Very, very important that you lead by example, you just, you can't do it any other way. Um, And finally I'll say this it's a great, yeah. An example of it is not important to get a perfect, it's just important to get it started.

[01:18:49] So start training with your son. Now, if you don't know what to do, in some instances, you don't do you fill in the blanks at a later date? I can absolutely [01:19:00] promise you though. You will both be better off

[01:19:02] Carl Lanore: [01:19:02] for it. We're going to take our last commercial break. Today is a long show, but it's good. We had a lot of people participate.

[01:19:08] We had a lot of questions to answer. When we come back, we have the blueprint tip of the day. Stay tuned.

[01:20:29] So again, go to SHR network biz slash free sauna to enter today. Don't miss out because we could reach 300 the tomorrow and your chance will be gone. So do that right away. Okay, go ahead, Rob. What is the blueprint tip of

[01:20:42] Coach Rob Regish: [01:20:42] the day? The tip of the day is about being strong enough to walk away. And so recently I made some wholesale changes to my training based upon some new science that I found.

[01:20:57] And one, one of my goals, [01:21:00] um, Was to make it through five sets of 10, uh, on trap bar, dead lifts with 315 pounds, but resting two minutes or less in between sets, which is certainly no world record. Um, but, but it is a world away. So it's a world away from my typical training, uh, from my main list for basically anything.

[01:21:25] Normally I train with low volume, very heavy weights. Um, And, and obviously low reps. In fact, the joke used to be, uh, anything more than five was high reps to me. And I would rest in between sets for reference sometimes 10, 15 minutes, uh, to allow also the central nervous system, which takes longer to recover, but all that was out the window.

[01:21:53] So, um, I came across this new research. That basically showed [01:22:00] combining, uh, greater lower body volume or total tonnage with heavier higher intensity work for the upper body yielded a much, much greater result in terms of strength, in terms of actual muscle growth, everything. Even fat loss. So I went all in on this stuff.

[01:22:23] The first workout though, and I was, I put three 15 on the bar because I knew I was, I was going to be close or so I thought it didn't go so well, by the time I got to set number three, I was so gassed and gasping for breath. I felt like a fish that had just been thrown out of water, you know, uh, So I wasn't necessarily out of strength, but I was out of breath.

[01:22:52] And at that point it does make you weak. Right? So what I did was I [01:23:00] stopped there. I stopped there and, um, yeah, three sets. I stopped there and I said to myself, okay, look, these last two, you might be able to get those. Last two sets of 10, but you're going to be absolutely flattened. So the deal I made with him myself was this, I get three sets of 10, uh, this time, but next workout, I was going to be four sets of 10.

[01:23:27] And even if it feels really easy, I'm going to resist the temptation to do that, that fifth set and save it for the next week. Okay. So the next workout I did, I got four sets, Tim him. Now it was still.

[01:23:48] Carl Lanore: [01:23:48] Rob, Rob, you dropped out completely after you said the word still,

[01:23:54] Coach Rob Regish: [01:23:54] still. Yeah. You said still stay. It was still quite an effort. Did you hear that

[01:23:59] Carl Lanore: [01:23:59] now that we [01:24:00] didn't hear? There you go.

[01:24:01] Coach Rob Regish: [01:24:01] Okay. Um, so it wasn't quite as bad as last time, but my body was starting to adapt. And my VO two max and my breathing. Was catching up to my actual strength levels.

[01:24:15] And consequently, I blew through four sets of 10. Like it was butter at that point. Okay. You reach a critical juncture. Do I honor the deal I made with myself or do I, do I magnify my ego? By trying to get these, this last set of things. Yeah. I was strong enough to stop and walk away and say to myself, there's no timeline here.

[01:24:54] There's nobody in this gym that cares whether I get five sets of 10, four sets or no sets. [01:25:00] The only person that's driving that is me. And so I walked away knowing that next Monday, I'm going to do those, those five sets of 10. And not only am I going to do it, but I'm not going to be flattened at the end of it.

[01:25:20] I'm going to actually probably feel pretty refreshed. So

[01:25:27] that only comes though with age and wisdom. And you have to check your ego a little bit too, resist the temptation to go farther. And so for those of you wondering there, I have a few guidelines that might help you in so far as doing enough, but not so much that it kills your training momentum or you get injured.

[01:25:56] So here here's some guidelines as to when it's time to walk [01:26:00] away. Number one, always leave a workout, feeling good. If you're leaving the workout, barely walking or throwing up, you know, you can bet your future workouts are going to be a real bear. You know, number two, always leave a rep in the tech. Those words were spoken to me.

[01:26:22] It came directly from bill Cass Meyer on many counts. The world's strongest, man. I think he still hosts the world's strongest man competition. Number three, when your hands start to tremble, you're no longer working on your muscles, you're frying your central nervous system. That's what that means. Now, modern day pre-workouts have kind of, kind of clouded some of that feedback, right?

[01:26:50] Because that trembling. Might be the 600 milligrams of caffeine you slammed before the workout, uh, [01:27:00] check, you know, it's something that your body will usually tell you, Hey, you know, we've gone beyond exhausting and the muscles, you're just running down the central nervous system. And then number four, if you are limited because you don't have the wind.

[01:27:19] Um, to make it through your workouts versus, you know, a real strength DEC permit, stop, stop, and give your body the time it takes to adapt, which may be days, or it may be weeks. You can't force it. If you do try to force it, there will be consequences. That's that's all I can tell you. There will be consequences.

[01:27:46] Uh, and I don't, and I've suffered those consequences and I don't want you to suffer those consequences. What are they? You're going to flat line real fast. You might get injured. You might get sick. You might have [01:28:00] rhabdo. I hit the whole cycle. Yeah. Believe me. I got the hospital bills to prove it. Don't be dumb.

[01:28:08] Walk away. With something in the tech so that you can come back, nail it and then continue to progress. And the number one way to do that in my opinion, is knowing when to walk away. If you are strong enough to walk away, then you will ultimately succeed and you will be healthy enough to look back on your accomplishments.

[01:28:34] Cultivate that ability. Now. And you will surely wind up bigger, stronger, and in better condition in the future.

[01:28:46] Carl Lanore: [01:28:46] A great way to do that is write out your training for that day and treat it like a procedure. And if your last set is supposed to be X amount of pounds, times eight reps. And you hit eight and you think, well, I [01:29:00] got nine or 10 in me.

[01:29:01] Don't do nine to 10. Save it for next time. That's treat your, treat your workouts. Like what you write down before you get to the gym, treat them like a

[01:29:09] Coach Rob Regish: [01:29:09] prescription. There you go.

[01:29:12] Carl Lanore: [01:29:12] I love it. Great stuff.

[01:29:13] Coach Rob Regish: [01:29:13] That's interesting. I've been, I've been doing that without even thinking about it. Yeah.

[01:29:18] Carl Lanore: [01:29:18] Treat it like a prescription.

[01:29:19] If you're, you know, if the natural, the progression from last week's workout is this, then stick with that. Even if all of a sudden you go, man, I can get two more reps out. No, for the next workout. There's always going to be another workout. If

[01:29:31] Coach Rob Regish: [01:29:31] right. If

[01:29:33] Carl Lanore: [01:29:33] you don't injure yourself, if. All Rob great stuff.  dot com is the place to go check it out.
