[00:00:00] calling all blueprint, army fall in line. It's time for the blueprint power hour. I have a bad case of premature introduction. Yeah, that's right. Today's the blueprint power hour. We're gonna get started in just a moment with coach Rob ruggish. Um, of course this is superhuman radio. Today is October 13th, 2020.

[00:00:22] Uh, of course you can post your questions live. While you're here, if you want to. And we will do our best to answer all the questions. Keep in mind that with stream yard, uh, depending on the page that you're watching the show in order to post questions, you'll see a little link at the bottom of the show description, and it says let's scream, yard, uh, uh, change your, your, your permissions, something like that.

[00:00:51] And you, you click that link and you say, yes, I want my profile name to show up. When I post during this live event and otherwise we don't know who [00:01:00] you are. So if the page you're watching the show from has that little extra sentence at the bottom to let give stream yard act access to your, uh, to your, your profile picture and so on, uh, please select it.

[00:01:15] So we know who you are. It just makes life a lot easier for us here. And of course we have to thank our title sponsor, legendary foods who makes up. Very very generous, a payment to the show to be our title sponsor because they believe in the mission of the show. And if you are a low carb, low sugar person, you absolutely want to go to eat legendary.com and use the code SHR 10, uh, for 10% off your entire order.

[00:01:42] I don't talk enough about their seasoned almonds. I loved their nut butters. You know, that because they taste delicious, they actually use them as dessert. I eat them with the spoon and I love their tasty pastry, which is a pop tart with nine grams of protein and less than one gram of sugar. So that's really [00:02:00] dynamite, but they're seasoned nuts are fantastic.

[00:02:03] The really interesting thing about their season nuts that I think you'll learn. Is they use the freshest almonds. You can find the almonds tastes so strong of the almond flavor because they're fresh. And then the seasonings, just whether it's cheddar cheese or they have one, that's a pizza flavored one they're just delicious.

[00:02:24] So check them out, go to eat legendary.com. Use the code. SHR tend to let them know that you learned about them from the show. And of course save 10% off at the same time. Now without further delay. Yeah, here we go. Calling all blueprint army fall in line. It's time for the blueprint power hour with coach Rodriguez on the superhuman radio network.

[00:02:51] Hey, Rob, how are you doing? I am doing great. I want to, uh, I want to wish my wife, a happy birthday. It's her birthday today. Uh, [00:03:00] and your Alyssa happy belated birthday. Uh, your wife to be, so it's pretty cool that their birthdays are that close, close together. I know. And I saw some amazing pictures of you, the dog, uh, and you know, everybody out on the trails, you went hiking.

[00:03:17] Tell the, the audience where you went this weekend. We were in the mountains. So New Hampshire, specifically Keene New Hampshire. Which isn't far from here. Um, and we hiked over the course of two days and I got a real education in how demanding hiking can be not only going up, but coming down and all I had on me was a 20 pound pack.

[00:03:41] So, uh, you know, kudos to those hikers out in the audience. It's a real workout. Dave Hartnett says happy Tuesday, superhuman, radio, and blueprint, power hour army. Yes. Thank you very much for that. Um, yeah, it's uh, you know, when I went hunting [00:04:00] last year with my son up at the base of, uh, uh, the Adirondack mountains and I hunted a piece of land, that was nothing but a mountain.

[00:04:09] And I got to tell you, I didn't realize how you know, I have, I haven't trained legs with any seriousness in a couple years. And the first thing you lose is calf strength. It's amazing going up and down those Hills. Twice a day. I told my son chase. I said, I think I'm going to be crippled tomorrow because my calves don't want to move.

[00:04:27] Like they were frozen. It's a great calf work. Climbing is a great, you don't have to, and you don't have to be heroic about it. Just even a slow pace, even like a, a step step pause, because you gotta figure out where you want to put your next foot because it's all rocks and trees and all that. I mean, that's, that's an amazing workout.

[00:04:49] I think Elisa and I actually got to do some hiking this weekend. We talked about it. Yeah. Well, we're going to do it more often. Not only is it a great workout it's I mean, you see some beautiful things out there in the woods [00:05:00] and you know what else? It's good for people to do this. And I know you're going to be like, Oh Carl, but there may come a day where we have to all bug out.

[00:05:09] And if you don't own a gun and you don't know how to shoot, and you don't know how to skin an animal and. You can't climb a Hill. Like you may go, well, maybe I'll just wait and see what happens tomorrow. And tomorrow may be too late. So yeah, I'm not saying it's going to happen, but wouldn't it be nice to know you could, if you needed to.

[00:05:30] Yeah. And all this, all the same stuff that you would buy for, you know, a year, it could also be in your trunk as a get home bag. So it doubles as bug out and getting home. Yeah. Yeah. That's a great point. Great point. The first question comes from Chuck Gill. He says, I've heard you say when designing programs, reps are the most important consideration.

[00:05:53] Can you elaborate as to why. Yeah. So specifically when I've addressed this and that pass, [00:06:00] uh, it goes like this, of all the variables involved in weight training. It seems that reps are the thing that your body adapts the quickest to. And I first learned that through trial and error. At a fairly young age.

[00:06:16] I don't think I was five years into my training before I made the connection. And later, um, I was vindicated, at least in my mind, reading through strength, coach Charles Paula Quinn's works, where he noted it as well. And if I'm not mistaken, my favorite strength, both Charles Staley, the man's, the genius, uh, has concurred with that as well.

[00:06:39] But, uh, generally speaking. High high level strength athletes and adapt to their reps that they're using in as little as six workouts. The way I like to think about it as this in complete newbies, it could take as long as six in elite athletes, six [00:07:00] workouts, which means for most trainees adaptation will occur somewhere.

[00:07:05] Between those two extremes adaptation to reps, uh, it's primarily driven by two things. Number one, the percentage of one rep max that you're using and related to the time under tension. Right that the rep range is, is, is causing the two of course are, are related. So for example, when you're working in the 90th percentile of your one rep max, you typically can get between one and three reps, you move a little bit lower into the 80% range there.

[00:07:40] You're talking about four to six reps. For most people and below that strength athletes will rarely venture below 60% or even 50%. Although interestingly enough, that rep range is ideal to develop greater force and [00:08:00] power is force equals mass times acceleration. Okay. As for the best way to integrate all that and avoid adaptation, or at least the kind that's going to flatline you, I've seen two training systems that I think you would best.

[00:08:15] Number one is the West side conjugate method. Uh, as well as triple drops. So West side, if you're not familiar with it seeks to raise multiple strength qualities all simultaneously. And the way they do that is by using dedicated workouts to develop three strength qualities, max effort work. Speed and dynamic work and what those refer to as the repetition method, which is more, what bodybuilders would be familiar with.

[00:08:48] It does work brilliantly once for you to,

[00:08:55] or Rob, Rob, we lost you for a second. You said it does work perfectly [00:09:00] once and then you dropped out. He's still frozen. We're having some connectivity issues today. So Robbie there? Yeah. Okay. You dropped out right after working here? Yes. Okay. What right after the word once you had dropped out. Okay. So, um, once West side addresses those things, you will have max strength across the entire spectrum.

[00:09:29] So max effort, work, repetition work and speed and dynamic work. Uh, now as for the other method, triple drops, they are a great way to get work in everywhere from the 90th percentile on rep max to 80% to 60% or below, depending upon how like your drops are the only thing missing. From that 60% and below work, uh, your last, uh, of the three [00:10:00] sets is speed.

[00:10:01] Given the fact that your muscles have been depleted then so depleted by the previous two sets overall, though, you can train and gain a long time using either method much longer than sticking in just one rep range, which will flatline you eventually. So I hope that helps. Great question. So someone just made a comment that I want to put this up here and they said, Carl, do we need to grant stream yard permission to be able to see, to comment live?

[00:10:32] Yes. You do absolutely. Otherwise your comment looks like this. It just says Facebook user. It doesn't have your profile picture. So we don't know who you are. So if you're still okay watching. Yes. If you have a question, please, first grant stream yard permission, uh, to be able to see your, your, your profile when you comment live.

[00:10:55] Thank you very much. Okay. The next question comes from Kenny. Oh, [00:11:00] and his last name is withheld by request. He says, I've decided to go dark to the dark side and realize I have a lot to learn in your opinion, where's the best place to start. The best place to start in my opinion is asking yourself this question.

[00:11:17] Uh, have you maxed out your God given genetics by training naturally first and, and. That's a difficult question to answer because it involves being brutally honest. And quite frankly, most people have already decided that they're going to the dark side. So no matter what, uh, and so that question either doesn't get asked or it's not answered, uh, honestly, but just for the sake of argument right here, here are some other questions.

[00:11:49] I think you need to ask yourself. Uh, what have I been training for at least a decade to see what my body looks like after developing muscle maturity? [00:12:00] Because I can tell you I've known many, a guy who started training at let's say age 20, and he, you got to 35 without using the drugs. And he was stunned by what he saw, never, you know, never looked or performed better at age 35, but if you never get to age 35, how would you know if you're using drugs prior to that, and you don't have at least a decade under the iron, you'll never know, you know, what you look like at your Zenith, in my opinion, at least, uh, statically, uh, and number two.

[00:12:39] Have you really eaten enough for a long enough period of time and gotten your body weight up as high as possible because your natural base will always, always be the limiting factor in what your gains are like when you do get on this stuff, you don't think about it like this [00:13:00] drugs on top of a 250 pound natural base.

[00:13:04] Is it's going to get somebody a lot bigger and stronger than drugs on top of 175 pounds. And, and, and I want to mention something and I like to use automobile analogy a lot. You, if you kick nitrous in too early, the car doesn't run as fast as it can. It, same thing with anabolic steroids. So if you're, if you, if you start out with, with drugs, then.

[00:13:31] The gains you make will be built on the drugs and not a natural foundation of what your body can do. And when you cut the drugs out, you'll go back to where you should have been. Had you not used drugs and have to start climbing that Hill again, and hopefully Dow trucks. So do it right the first time you use the word foundation.

[00:13:51] It's a very accurate word here. Because you don't want to, you don't want to build on a foundation of drugs. You want to build on a [00:14:00] foundation of naturally obtained and maintained muscle and then add the drugs in because then when you get off the drugs, you're going to get back to a point where you could live and think enough, I can live like this.

[00:14:12] I'm fine. Yeah. Yep. It's, it's a great analogy, but, um, you know, there are other questions, but those are the two that I think you really need to answer and you need to answer them. Honestly, if the answer to either one is no, I haven't done that yet. Then you still have some work to do. If the answer to both of those is no, then you definitely have a lot of work to do in terms of steroid education.

[00:14:42] Uh, I still think the end of Shane's first two works underground steroid handbook in Mike's and pano. I still think those two stand the test of time. Now there have been bigger. Prettier and more comprehensive texts on the [00:15:00] subject, but in terms of educating the lay person who is interested in using steroids and the eating necessary, that's another big reason I like do Shane's work the eating necessary to maximize it, his original underground steroid handbook.

[00:15:17] Um, And underground steroid handbook. Two are still the benchmark, in my opinion, they're not perfect. There were some mistakes that were made, but there were relatively minor honorable mention. If you're going to read them further, uh, she would go to bill Island's anabolics series of books as well. As he is home testing kits, which are helping guys determine whether what they got is what they ordered.

[00:15:45] And a lot of times it isn't. So there's might be a little additional expense there, but you'll never go wrong investing in a little more education. Now, at least when it comes to steroids, the drugs [00:16:00] themselves. They've changed little over the years, Jerome, DECA, Diana Ball, you know, the drugs are more or less the same.

[00:16:10] Those haven't changed. What has changed. Unfortunately, one counterfeits finding the real McCoy has, has gotten a lot more difficult and number two, their legal status. It's only gotten worse. Meaning the new steroid laws are a lot more draconian with extremely harsh given they changed the way that confiscated drugs are counted.

[00:16:39] Yeah. They refer to what I think is steroid units. Well, Whereas before, if they seized one big bile of whatever testosterone, it was one steroid unit. But now because they count it, you know, it has 30 doses in it, or, you know, 30 CCS, well guess what? Now it's 30 [00:17:00] units. And before you get popped into school zone and you can double your funds.

[00:17:05] Yeah. Yeah. They act like as though you're trying to sell this stuff to kids. Yeah, exactly. So, so that has changed. Um, also one other book that you you need to read is Rick Collins, his legal muscle. It's a must read in that regard. It's not just all about the laws surrounding such, but it will help educate you on the laws and what to do.

[00:17:32] If you ever find yourself in legal trouble, a lot of guys get into a lot of trouble by giving away their rights. Sir, do you mind if I, do you mind if I search your car? Well, yes, officer, I do. I don't consent to any searches. I'm not trying to be a wise guy, but rights are like muscles. If you don't exercise and once in awhile you lose them.

[00:17:59] And so [00:18:00] there are a lot of guys sitting in jail that wouldn't be there today, if they simply said that and exercise their rights anyway, um, finally, if you do go to the dark side, please work with a doctor or at least attempt to. Uh, to monitor your health, no doctor is going to turn you into the authorities.

[00:18:20] Okay. Uh, it just doesn't happen. You might get the lecture, you might get something else, but you're not going to, you know, find the cops at your door and say, well, my doctor told him, you know, you want baseline blood work when you're off the drugs to get a true baseline. And I think you want to do mid cycle and post cycle blood work to see.

[00:18:43] What's working what isn't and what measures to take to mitigate side effects. And there are ways to do so. You know, if you're on a lot of orals and they're heavy Le liver hitters, you can address that with a Tuka. And [00:19:00] there was something else I think that you mentioned, uh, to help with watt again, liver, liver.

[00:19:05] Um, well, obviously, so Marin. Is a powerful milk. Thistle is very, very powerful. There's a lot of things out there that are really good for the liver. Yeah. NAC  Christine or glutathione itself. Just take the liposomal glutathione. Yup. Yup. So that's my take on things. It doesn't sound like you're ready. I think you know that that's okay.

[00:19:31] Use this time to really, you know, hammer down the fundamentals. Train naturally get as big as possible that way. Uh, and then if you're still not happy after 10 years under the iron have at it, but, but do so do so being educated, going into it, most people here 10 years under the iron and they think, Oh God, I got to train that law.

[00:20:00] [00:19:59] You'll be making gains. You'll be making you look, first of all, you have to ask yourself a fundamental question. Am I doing this for the upcoming spring break? Or am I doing this for the rest of my life? Number one. And if your answer, isn't the ladder. Stop wasting your time at any of it. But if you understand that this is a journey, like every other journey, like learning, like any other journey in your life and you're doing it for the rest of your life.

[00:20:28] Well, 10 years from now, you're going to look back at this moment and you will have put 10 years into this journey into this physical culture journey. So you're going to invest 10 years, no matter what is the decision you have to make is do I want to do it the right way or the wrong way? Do I want to be a douchebag about it?

[00:20:48] Or do I want to actually do the work? Earn the respect, treat my body with the respect that it deserves. That's the, that's the fundamental question here, because if you hear. Rob [00:21:00] say, and in 10 years, and you go, Oh man, I don't want to wait 10 years. Then you're doing this for the wrong reason. You're doing this to try to fill some sort of hole your soul that makes you feel inadequate, that you need to be big and muscular.

[00:21:12] So people look at you differently. Well, I got news for you. They don't look at you differently. Or maybe the guys, them guys will look at you differently and maybe that's sort of, you just want to be scary and stuff like that. That you're doing this for the wrong reason, because as soon as you get to the point where you're scary and stuff, this is going to become boring and you're just gonna become a fat schlub again.

[00:21:31] So you, you need to jump on board and understand that this is a lifelong journey. And that, I mean, I'm thinking 10 years ahead right now I'm like 62. So when I'm 72, like where do I want to be? When I'm 72, I want to maintain the weight I can handle now for sure. And maybe even continue to make gains from now until then.

[00:21:52] Yup. So this is a lifelong journey. If you're discouraged by when John Rob says put 10 years and you go, I don't want to wait that long, [00:22:00] then you're doing this for the wrong reason. Um, I gotta, we got to answer a question for a samurai Jack who's watching on, on, uh, YouTube. He says, he said, what is your Z-pack protocol?

[00:22:16] I'm assuming he was talking for COVID and what is the earliest age one should start it. Oh no, he's talking about when he says that he's talking about my Z-Pak protocol for anti-aging as a alytic twice a year, twice a year is adequate. So a single, a Z pack, which is a 200. Uh, it's um, let me see, wait a minute.

[00:22:38] I think each of them has 500 milligrams each, so it's two tablets on day one and one tablet on days two through five. I think that's a thousand Milgram's on day one and 500 milligrams on days two through five will eradicate 97% of all senescent cells in your body. That's that's amazing. Now there are some people who [00:23:00] say, Oh, but it's bad for your gut.

[00:23:01] And there are other people who say it's a horribly weak antibiotic. It doesn't even work well as an antibiotic to some other mechanism because it will also reduces chronic inflammation quickly. Why? Because it's getting rid of senescent cells. Yeah. But you just need to do it twice a year. Yeah. And obviously intimate and fasting and things like that contribute to not, um, accumulating a lot of senescent cells.

[00:23:26] What age should you start? I think you could probably easily start in your late thirties. I really do. I think when you start to cross that threshold of 40 that's when all the stuff to talk to change in your body and you don't feel as good. So I would say, you know, between 37 and maybe 40. I would start twice a year.

[00:23:45] That's it. That's all you need twice a year. Hope that helps. Um, I really, I thought I was going to do them four times a year, but that's way too much because I'm doing, I'm doing rep myosin once a week. So that's also [00:24:00] eliminating some of the newly accumulated senescent cells on a week to week basis. So there you go.

[00:24:06] Uh, John Pellegrino says, from what I gather, you train a lot, like I do. Very heavy weights, low reps, and lots of rest between sets. I hate volume, even though I know I need more of it, what's the best way to get it. It's a great question. Um, I guess it's the training question week, which I love, but, uh, training heavy and very low volume.

[00:24:35] Let's say. It will build thick, dense muscle fiber, right? Actual, real thickening of the muscle, as opposed to volumize the caveat being there is a critical thing.  of volume enough volume. That is necessary. Just how much enough is is up for debate, right? I mean, even if a certain range [00:25:00] was identified, it would still be still likely to be a highly individual matter.

[00:25:06] I see two methods that are optimal for hypertrophy. The first is performing a minimum of five and up to 10 sets when you're using low reps, meaning this is the lowest one to three. Um, if you don't have the time, the PA or the patients for that, cause you're going to be resting a fair amount between sets.

[00:25:28] I would consider a solution. Number two, ladders, I think talked about ladders here before, but as a refresher ladders are kind of a sneaky way of getting the necessary volume into your workouts and they take very little, so, so I'll use chin-ups as an example. Uh, the first you perform your first set with five reps, you rest 10 to 30 seconds, and then you do four reps rest 10 to 30 seconds.

[00:25:57] And then three reps, 10 to [00:26:00] 30, two reps, 10 to 31 rep that's one ladder. Okay. After completing that ladder. You again, rest 30 seconds before doing the second letter. Five, four, three, two, one, right? All right. All the way through, uh, to a third, third ladder performing three ladders in a row five, four, three, two, one.

[00:26:23] Is the ideal. If you've picked your weight correctly, you've come up maybe a little short in your third ladder and it takes a second workout. Complete all three that's. Okay. Because the ideal. Before increasing weight is being able to do all three ladders, um, which when we do the math, it's 45 reps and that much volume to some people, it can be a real shock because, you know, even if you're used to a multiset protocol, like five sets of five, you know, you're still comfortably exceeding.

[00:27:00] [00:27:00] That and, and, or, um, typical pyramids, like 10, eight, six, six, right. Um, another tip on these ladders is you can perform them in the reverse and so far as reps. And so instead of starting with five reps, uh, or yeah, five reps on your first set, you start with one, uh, you go backwards. Interestingly. People almost universally find the reverse rep ladders easier than the first example.

[00:27:32] I guess they're funny. And they're doing the same volume of work. It's the exact same number of reps, but it seems that if they start with five and go down to one, those ladders are a lot easier than starting at one and go into five. Either way you slice it. It's 45 reps with the same weight. It really tells you I think so how much of a psychological game lifting really is?

[00:27:57] Um, now if you're interested in a real [00:28:00] chat, then you can use that same ladder technique, but this time superset, chins dips, for example, you know, You hit every muscle in the upper body and you get the kind of volume that you need, uh, to grow. It's really a unique training style. I love using it. I don't use it all the time, but when I do use it, it's just what the doctor ordered.

[00:28:27] So it's like, it's interesting. It's kind of reminds me of escalating density training a little bit till when you do, if you're doing dips and chins at the same time. Yeah. Yeah. A little bit. Those, whether you call those supers that there are just giant sets or yeah. Yeah. Uh, we have a couple of questions from the audience that we'll want to hit before we take off.

[00:28:49] Let's just do this real quick. So the first one comes from, I left theorists. Chat Xu chat. [00:29:00] Wait a minute. I'm sorry. Chats. Ducasse obviously Greek gotta be Greek poetry. OT. Could you complete compare carb cycling versus constant high carb diets for muscle building? That's that's a, that's a question for you.

[00:29:14] Well, I think what we're talking about there is carbon cycling is a much, much better way to address body composition changes. And the reason for that is a constant high carb diet. You have constantly high insulin levels and it's, that makes it almost impossible to burn body fat, constant, anything, and the body will get used to it quickly.

[00:29:41] So for that. Carb cycling diets, such as, for example, the anabolic diet, I think, are far far superior, especially if bodybuilding and looking good is your ultimate objective. Okay. And the next question comes from Ian Musgrave. And this is, this is more [00:30:00] for me, I guess. Uh, he's asking for something to mitigate any possible stomach issues from taking dizzy pack.

[00:30:05] Yes. Probiotics, most specifically, um, some like. I would say, uh, not, not just so much the lactobacillus acidophilus, uh, or the lactobacillus strains, but the bifido the bifidobacteria, which is, which is a highly accumulated and very healthy, lean people. So if you're going to kill some of the lawn. You want to plant good seeds?

[00:30:35] I would focus on consuming and I wouldn't know, and I would not take the probiotics eight hours before or eight hours after. Okay. You don't want, I think it's actually four hours before eight hours after. So I would take the a Z pack, the zip, zip, the mice, and first thing in the morning. And then I would wait [00:31:00] till around eight o'clock at night or nine o'clock at night to take my probiotic.

[00:31:05] Um, yeah. Cause you don't want them to compete because the probiotic may make the Z-Pak less effective and Z-Pak may wipe out the good bacteria that you're trying to plant. So that's the way I would do it, but yeah, probiotics that's that? That's gold when you're doing something like that. All right. We're going to take a quick commercial break.

[00:31:25] When we come back, we have lots more questions, both from live listeners. Thank you for participating. And also the ones that were mailed in before. In the meantime, check out  dot com, where you can find all this information on tap whenever you want it stay tuned. We'll be right back. This is the superhuman channel where brawn and brains finally meet.

[00:31:53] welcome back.

[00:31:56] The next question comes from Randy Anderson. [00:32:00] So I'm a small guy and I find lifting difficult at just five, five and 160 pounds. I'm already at a disadvantage to make matters worse. I'm cursed with long arms. So I can't bench bench press. What can I do to maximize my efforts in the gym? Well, I think the first thing you can do is stop lamenting, uh, your, your physical stats and, um, there's good reason for that.

[00:32:27] So, so I think he mentioned right. He's on the short side five, five, but Lee priestess. Yeah, exactly. You may have heard of a guy called Louie Simmons named Louis Simmons and also a guy by the name of ed cone. Ed coan is listed at five feet, six inches tall, and having met him once, I would tell you that that might be generous.

[00:32:56] He's one of the strongest men though, that ever [00:33:00] lived. I don't know how tall Louis is, but I'm betting. He's not much taller. Right? The fact of the matter though, is this, these men. In powerlifting circles and elsewhere are revered as borderline gods. And they're, you know, their sport, not just for their, you know, Uh, Cerebro contributions to training, but the actual training itself and the setting of world records, I'm not sure what level you're at in strength training, but let me assure you, you know, if ed cone or Louie Simmons are talking, nobody.

[00:33:40] Is thinking about their height. If they're smart, they're listening, learning, and maybe even asking questions, the point being your height means nothing, nothing. In fact, it might be an advantage. There is an advantage when squatting and deadlifting those same long arms that you're complaining [00:34:00] about on the bench or an absolute godsend on the day deadlift.

[00:34:04] Cause you don't have to move the, this far so you can start. Right there, you know, forget about being too short, forget about having arms that are too long to this. And to that, it's a matter of perspective. Next. I would focus your efforts on the dead lift. Cause it sounds like you're. You know, physiologically set up for it.

[00:34:25] There's no finer movement in so far as stimulating muscle growth because there's arguably no movement that works more muscle simultaneously. So right off the bat, we know two things you don't have to stand up as high. Right because of your height and your long arms complete the lift faster know there's less of a range of motion.

[00:34:50] Those are two huge advantages and I would, and as such, I would build your program around the [00:35:00] deadlift. Around the deadlift and use that as what I call a driver, a core or driver movement to make the rest of your program that much more effective. You show me two guys, one guy does, you know, the bench press the chin ups and a few other movements, right?

[00:35:21] For his upper body. Give me the second guy who does the same exact thing. But Dave lives hard once a week, that second guy is going to build tons more muscle than the guy that's just working his upper body. So you also need to get into the movement and learn some of the finer nuances. For example. You know, train it in Sumo style to see if that works for you.

[00:35:48] Not only is it safer for most people, uh, in so far as the lower back, but also the wide stance is gonna cut down on the bar stroke. Right. It's going [00:36:00] to cut down even further. On top of the other two advantages, you may have to only, you may have to only move the barf three inches to win a company for them.

[00:36:11] If you can get wide enough and you have long arms, I mean, literally you could almost be standing up and the bar is still on the floor.

[00:36:20] Yeah. So, so look, here's the bottom line. We're all dealt a certain hand in life, right? What matters is not the hand that you're dealt, but rather how you play it and remember that. And I'm quite certain your future and strength training. If you do remember it. We'll be a lot brighter and a lot more satisfied.

[00:36:43] Right? Some things you can't change, you know, I can't change the fact that, uh, I was born extremely skinny and spend a lifetime trying to put weight on, but that never, it never once occurred to me that well, gee, [00:37:00] since it's going to be hard, I guess I just won't do it. No, I knew what I wanted. I went out and got it.

[00:37:05] You should do the same. Uh, I'm actually texting somebody about a question. We have Rigo Vargas, sit tight. I'm going to get you your answer. Okay. Next question comes from Johnny Gray. We haven't had a question from Johnny Gray in a while. Yeah, well, he's got one good one here. He says I've just switched to intimate and fasting and love it.

[00:37:30] One issue though. I can't seem to keep it my weight up. I do eat as much as possible at my one meal. He who told you intermittent fasting, required you to do one meal a day, um, dough and nothing else has changed a lot has changed my opinion. Go ahead. I have a feeling. You, you feel the same way? I do. Good.

[00:37:54] Yeah. You know, um, To your point before we get rolling intermittent fasting, [00:38:00] some, some iterations recommend one meal a day, but really the, the most effective one that I've seen give you a range, right? Of like 16 hours fasting and, and eight, you know, eating or 20 and four, or, you know what I mean? So think about it as a range and what you can eat during that time, as opposed to one meal.

[00:38:23] So, um, having said that intermittent fasting. As most people practice. It really isn't. I think the ideal for bulking up for putting on large amounts of muscle, at least that's what most people will tell you. Now it is true. Some people actually lose some lean body mass when initiating intermittent fasting.

[00:38:47] Personally, I think that's simply due to an exaggerated cortisol response. Which in time your body will adapt to it and then, you know, greatly [00:39:00] improve your body's stability to handle full-blown catabolic situations. We talked about bugging out of the top of the show. You know, you're not going to be eaten seven small meals, perfectly balanced, small meals a day.

[00:39:14] You'll be lucky if you're eating once a day, this is an example of something intermittent fasting. That's going to teach your body. To deal with those types of situations much better. Yeah. Um, when queried, when I asked people, I noticed that they also have difficulty, right. And eating enough in one setting.

[00:39:36] If that's their interpretation of it, at least early on certain body types are also more prone to it. Lean body mass loss, like extreme. Ectomorphs having settle of that intermittent fasting can be manipulated. To gain, gain muscle more difficult than using traditional methods. But then again, it's not going to put as much fat [00:40:00] on you as traditional methods.

[00:40:02] The real trick, I think if there is one is to time your exercise with eating, breaking your fast as it were, and really ramping up protein intake at those one, two or however many meals you can get in six or eight hours. So.

[00:40:49] I don't know if there are any studies looking, looking at this, but I feel pretty strongly. Yeah. The demand caused by exercise. Tissue damage, et cetera, allowed [00:41:00] me to absorb and utilize the vast, vast majority of protein and food that I was consuming. Right. I got this protein bolus right after exercise.

[00:41:13] And I got to tell you, it felt like the guy used every gram of it. And it was so easy, right. Because a good size steak is what. 80 grams of protein, you know, depending on the cut, when you add in protein from other sources, such as, you know, other. Foods or shakes, et cetera. It's pie simple. So to hit a hundred grams a day for, or the day, I'm not saying that's optimal, but what I am telling you is it makes your body very thrifty and very efficient with all macronutrients, not just carbs and protein.

[00:41:53] Um, now if you still need more calories at this meal, Mix up some [00:42:00] thrive in heavy cream, absolutely delicious. About 500 calories per shake and 25 grams. There's a protein, at least how I, how I made it remember a cup of cream, heavy cream has a thousand calories. So it adds up quick and, you know, remember it's a lot easier to drink a thing calories than it is to eat it.

[00:42:24] In whole foods. So if you need to bump up calories further, that's how I would suggest doing it. Also, I found keeping my carbs low during the week 50 grams or under rotated with high carb high-frequency meals on the weekends worked really, really well. So I used one method, intermittent fasting to potentiate my body's ability to make the most.

[00:42:53] Of traditional five to seven small meals a day. I never did that for more than two days. Why? Because after that [00:43:00] it started accumulating on my waist, right. There are merits to intermittent fasting. There are merits to eating small meals frequently. The key is to leverage both of them, whether or not I towards timing your intake with resistance exercise.

[00:43:17] If you've been intermittent, fasting and losing too fast, or you're losing too much muscle, you can also periodically introduce those Carr brief feeds and extreme endomorphs that are sensitive to carbs. That might mean one high carb meal. Every third or fourth day, that was a favorite events. Drama in extreme ectomorphs.

[00:43:36] You may need a full 48 hours of high carbs every five days, or maybe even sooner. The point is everybody's different experiments. Okay. More than one way of skin in that cat. If you're losing too fast, some, some sort of refill, it's usually the effects. How much, how long and how frequently are questions only you can answer, unfortunately, [00:44:00] on the positive side, it doesn't take much trial and error, I think, to find those answers.

[00:44:06] So that would be my take on it. I'm sorry. It was so long. Well, sorry. I want to throw something in here. First of all, there's a huge difference between trying to stay alive and trying to build muscle they're on opposite ends of the, of the physical spectrum. Intimate and fasting is fantastic for reducing calories.

[00:44:30] The outcome of an intermittent fast when calories are maintained or five meals a day when calories are maintained is negligible. I mean, recently just a study just came out. It showed that intimate and fasting did not make the individuals lose more body fat than the individuals who ate a you calorie diet.

[00:44:55] But they did it in five meals a day. So intimate and fasting is super [00:45:00] duper convenient. Cause you don't have to meal prep time. Restricted feeding is really what intermittent fasting is the window for body recomposition. You just need to fast for 16 hours. I don't know why you're eating only one meal.

[00:45:15] Even when I was doing extreme, intimate and fasting experiments, using loads of peptides and drugs to see what would happen. I still ate two meals a day. Don layman's group in Illinois, university of Illinois. They proved that more muscle is built. More protein synthesis occurs when protein is pulsed. Now, can you pulse it twice a day?

[00:45:40] Sure. That's gotta be better than once a day. And also how many calories are you eating in this meal? If you need 2,500 calories a day just to maintain. And not built. So you need 3000 calories a day ongoing to build. Are you getting free thousand calories in that one meal? [00:46:00] You should know that if you really like, because otherwise you can't conclude it's working or not working.

[00:46:06] Maybe it is working. If you added 500 calories a day more to that one meal. So there's a lot of unanswered questions here, but I think it's, I don't think it's necessarily to eat just one meal a day. I think you can eat to your post workout meal and maybe a meal later in the evening, around six o'clock boom, two meals.

[00:46:24] And you're getting two pulses that are going to increase protein, synthetic response. So consider that I'm on the fence about doing it. Here's what convinced me to try, even if it works the same as your regular diet. It's a win because you don't have to lug Tupperware around with you everywhere. Even if your body doesn't change at all, you win.

[00:46:48] It's just so much more convenient. Okay. So I, we got a lot of questions. We got to get to the first one, Rigo Vargas. I have texted someone in the [00:47:00] peptide business and they have not responded. Rigo says, what's your opinion of the FDA's new bulk drug substances definition. I need to read more, but my understanding combined, the definition of protein and chemically synthesized polypeptide, which will affect production of peptides.

[00:47:17] Is there any truth to that? There is some truth to some of it, but actually this has been around for a long time. There's a lot of things, even Stevia, believe it or not. Is on the FDA's radar list with these new appropriations of these new, uh, but I just texted somebody I'll wait until they get back.

[00:47:42] Um, bro, do you even towel row says question, does Gavin need to be cycled in my humble opinion? No, but you're wasting your time taking GABA use glycerin instead. Use glycine, glycine increases brain GABA, five fold, overtaking, [00:48:00] Gabba, and plus taking can also stimulate thyroid hormone production in the middle of the night.

[00:48:05] So there's some things there that you may or may not want. What do you think you need to, you need to cycle it. If you are going to use GABA. No, there's nothing showing that it needs to be cycled. I wouldn't call it a total wasting your time. If you're using it to improve your sleep, which it works like a charm there.

[00:48:22] And I have always liked GABA because it's cheap. It works and you know, it's, it's effective and sleep is a big, big deal. Now I also use glycine used it last night. Nothing saying that you can't rotate the two, in fact, you, you know, you may get a better response from both. I know in at least in glycine case, when they looked at repeated doses, uh, there was some sort of adaptation, uh, to it.

[00:48:53] I don't know that I saw the same thing on GABA, but as I, uh, I recommend on almost [00:49:00] all supplements cycle. Cyclo, if nothing else, they're going to tell you if they're working. No, you feel it when you come off. Yes. Okay. The thing's doing something so no reason to cycle GABA though, as far as I'm aware. Okay.

[00:49:17] So the next question comes from the same guy. Bro. Do you even towel road asking if EAs actually have calories? And if so, do you measure them the same way you measure protein calories, which would be four calories per gram? Now I've always assumed they had some calories because they can be utilized for energy, but I'm reading from, um, flexible lifestyle.

[00:49:44] I'm sorry. My, my. My lean fitness.com. They say simply put if a product only contains freeform amino acids, no carbs or fats, it's technically listed as having zero protein because remember [00:50:00] proteins are not just one amino acid proteins are structured from multiple amino acids, depending on the protein. Uh, zero carbs, zero fat of course.

[00:50:12] And therefore zero calories. So you don't count calories of freeform, amino acids now EAs have what? Seven, what is it? Nine amino acids. Rob? Yes, no, the 90 essential amino. Okay. So maybe they do have calories, but who cares? They're not going to contribute to your dietary intake because they literally pass through the lining of the stomach and right into the blood.

[00:50:35] Yeah, that was going to be my answer. They, even if they do, I don't think they do, but even if they do it's negligible and it's not really going to affect your energy balance, at least, you know, for the day this one comes from, sorry, I'm having an allergy attack. Robert David. He says, I took calls. Advice about copper supplements.

[00:50:57] Just a quick question to both of you. Is [00:51:00] this still good? If a person is on TRT? Of course it is. I take copper. Uh, just wondering about the red blood cells. Thank, uh, thanks. I will listen, uh, uh, after I get back to work. Oh, Carl listened to you on YouTube too. So either platform is great. Always a great show.

[00:51:18] So. No, I wouldn't worry about copper and red blood cells. In fact, copper keeps iron from getting too hot high in red blood cells. And we're not talking about taking mega doses, stupid doses of, but we're talking about taking a milligram or two of copper a day, and chances are most people aren't getting enough copper in their diet anyway.

[00:51:37] So. You don't have to worry about it, but you can always get blood work done. Obviously. Let's see. Okay. Technically I use injectable Gabba. That's very cool. I used to make transdermal GABA. It worked that's cool. 50 milligrams, 50 milligrams. I don't know. Um, what the bioavailability of, of. Orally [00:52:00] administered GABAA is so I don't know how to rate that against that, but, um, yeah, I mean, GABA is great.

[00:52:06] If it works for you, it works for you. Some people get agitated and, um, be, become, uh, wired from GABA that's because of its effect on the thyroid. Yeah, it does affect the dynamic interesting stuff. I didn't know. There was an injectable, maybe it's a homemade. I don't know. I used to get injectable EAs. I used to get up there.

[00:52:30] Yeah. Years ago, back in 2008, I used to get 50 milligram and a hundred milligram vials of, uh, injectable EAs. I used them for awhile, but I think that if you're, if you're consuming. That much protein as I have my entire life. I don't think he did. We need injectable EAs, to be honest with you. All right. I'm sorry.

[00:52:54] Go ahead. No, no, I was just gonna say, we're gonna take a break and then we have the blueprint tip of the day when we come back and then later [00:53:00] stick around because after the blueprint tip of the day, I am going to reveal the greatest peptide stack for recovery I've ever stumbled upon. I've been working on this for years.

[00:53:12] I've been. Combining removing. I have a peptide stack that I swear to you. I am not lying about this. I feel like I can train a second time. The same day, the same body parts, fatigue and everything gone. Yeah. I'm going to, I'm going to, it's not cheap to do, but it works. It works. All right, let's do this.

[00:53:33] Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll be right back with you or super human lady.

[00:53:40] Move over superheroes. This is this superhuman channel

[00:53:49] So yesterday I didn't have a chance to prepare any food. And I had to get to the studio. I couldn't stop and pick up any food. Like today I picked up six eggs and three [00:54:00] sausage patties. Post-workout from Wendy's. You can buy just the eggs and the sausage patties at Wendy's by the way. That's great. So yesterday I did have a protein shake in the morning cause it was my off day, but I ate an at tire pounds of biltong yesterday 250 256 grams of protein.

[00:54:22] And this built-on because it's, it's three to one. It's 16 grams of protein per ounce, and there's 16 ounces in here. So this was like 250. So 256 to 251. And then I had a, uh, a shake in the morning that was 56 grand. So I had 300, I think, three, 11 or three 15 grams of protein yesterday. Thanks to bill Tom.

[00:54:45] This stuff is amazing, man. If the tasty is protein, I'm done. That's an honest review. It's the tastiest protein I've ever had outside of with a shake, if that's your deal. But I [00:55:00] still think it's better than a shake to me because it satisfies me for a lot longer. Yeah. And it, and it's real and it's real food.

[00:55:10] It's beef, it's beef. What's better than that for building muscles. It's beef, but it's funny because I'm. I just got 10 pounds and I'm already like two pounds down. So it goes fast in my hands. I love this stuff. It's fantastic. If you want to try it, go to guess HR network B slash S S S that's lowercase, SSS as HR N I'm sorry.

[00:55:36] SHR network.biz/sss. Check it out. You'll love it. Yep. What's the blueprint tip of the day, brother. Tip of the day is called my favorite movement. And this tip of the day was actually the suggestion of a listener who wrote me. And he said, this might help a lot of people that are looking to construct [00:56:00] routines.

[00:56:01] And so he basically monitored all my 10 favorite movements in the gym. And it, it is an important topic, right? Because exercise selection can, can make or break you quite literally. I should tell you upfront. I TA tend to slump everything that I do towards pure strength work. There's a lot of overlap here.

[00:56:23] If your game is pure muscle hypertrophy, um, half of them are body weight oriented and the other half, or are traditional weight movements. I didn't set out to do that on purpose, but, but that's, you know what it was. Yeah. So what follows. Or my favorite movements, a little bit of color commentary as to why number one on the list has to be dead lifts, whether that's done Milena, Olympic bar, a trap bar, or even holding heavy dumbbells, the dead lift is the mainstay in the driver movement for the rest of my program.

[00:57:00] [00:56:59] Why? Because it is  the movement that recruits the most muscle. And when you're dealing with limited time and energy, You need to get the most bang for your buck and the deadlift does it. It also does a great job. And this is really important of teaching your central nervous system to contract. All of that muscle simultaneously, which is the real key to, I think superhuman strength.

[00:57:28] Number two on the list is squats, regular free squats. If you're, if your goal is pure hypertrophy box squats, if your goal is strength, and of course there are an infinite number, uh, variations, uh, leverage squats, dumbbell, squats, belt, squat. Pistols, uh, you know, one legged squats, so many varieties yet. So many people avoid them.

[00:57:57] There's just no matter who you are, [00:58:00] what your level of development is. There's a squat for you, you know, find it, use it number three, believe it or not. Step ups weighted step ups, often overlooked, but devastatingly effective. They offer most of the benefits of squats with less. Risk of injury provided you're using enough.

[00:58:20] Wait, you will also get one of the best conditioning workouts of your life. When you see how you're huffing and puffing number four, chin-ups what, whether you call them chin ups or pull ups or whatever. The simple act of pulling oneself up is one of, if not the most natural, authentic movements that you can perform are also incredibly safe and.

[00:58:46] And here's the big reason that I like them. They keep you honest, as far as the bulking up department, right. Gain 10 pounds. Right. Was it 10 pounds of fat or muscle? You'll find out real fast when you do your chin ups, [00:59:00] number five and related deaths. Particularly when paired with those chin-ups they are a superior exercise to the bench press, especially when it comes to stimulating muscle growth and even the pushup.

[00:59:15] Why? Well, think about it just like the chin up, you are forced to, or asked to move 100% of your body weight. You and whatever else, wait, you can strap on you. You can't say that about the pushup, although that's a fine movement as well. Okay. Which brings us to handstand pushups, maybe the ultimate variation of it, depending upon which muscles you want to work.

[00:59:42] I would tell you that if overhead lifting hurts your shoulders, elbows or anything else. Put the work in to learn the handstand pushup. If it's a smart play all around. In fact, whether you have shoulder or other issues or not, I'm [01:00:00] pursuing it, handstand pushups. And all that they give back is a very smart move.

[01:00:06] They develop insane levels of power and unlike most weightlifting movements they strengthen instead of wear down the joints. You know, plus let's face it. They're just cool right there. Cool. You can bust out a set anywhere, you know, say you're at a party and people instantly know this dude is one strong person.

[01:00:28] Uh, number seven, breathing pullovers, whether you do them with a dumbbell, an easy curl bar or a well-designed. Machine pullover machine, nothing quite delivers like the loaded stretch that this movement in parts, particularly the long head of the tricep. And if you've done these before with any decent amount of weight, you know exactly what I'm talking about, it is also the one back movement.

[01:00:55] That effectively removes the limiting muscle group, which would be [01:01:00] your biceps from most pulling motions. And thus allows you to train to true muscular failure. By the way, even though my long bone growth was frozen a long time ago, I still perform the breathing variety. Because nothing comes close to the feeling and the results that you get, they really are phenomenal.

[01:01:22] Number eight, one arm rows, one arm dumbbell rows, or you can do them with a barbell as well. If you want, Jim has heavy enough dumbbells. This is a fantastic movement for the back, the biceps. And this is the big one. And most people don't think about it, but it's true. Your rear delts. Okay. So early on, I was taught vertical rows for width.

[01:01:46] Horizontal rows for thickness. And I found that to be very, very accurate over the years. Um, and that's what one arm dumbbell rows deliver, right? That thickness plenty of back [01:02:00] thickness, especially, you know, you should be adding weight as you get progressively stronger at a back really starts to take off.

[01:02:09] Number nine would be the clean and jerk now. Yes, it involves momentum and you know, quickly sneaking under the bar is another part of that lift and the big one. Uh, and no, there's, there's not much of a negative, if any, think about it. No, nothing teaches your central nervous system to be fast, quite like this movement.

[01:02:32] Funny thing too. I noticed guys that have the strongest cleans are clean and jerks. They always have the best backs. That is no coincidence in my opinion, great movement. Number 10, I was in final movement. I wanna say pushups and believe me, pushups are fine, fine movement for any number of reasons. Um, but I would.

[01:02:58] I would tell you [01:03:00] here, cause I didn't want to leave it off the list bridging. I consider the bridge or some form of it essential. And here's why it literally took me from having a aspect back that I had in my twenties. And no, I am not kidding. I currently perform walled walks, but any bridging any form of bridging is going to help you also.

[01:03:28] You're going to find out quickly, uh, as you get into it, that it is a, it is a whole body movement. Nothing is left untouched in a positive way. And believe me you'll feel that, especially when you start working some of the more advanced version of the bridge and also for higher reps, it is a complete workout.

[01:03:52] Um, there is even a cardiovascular component, so. If I'm training someone and they're doing heavy [01:04:00] squats and deadlifts and like teaching my son right now, the deal is this. If you're going to do that, then we also need to give equal attention to either reverse hypers or some form of bridging or both. Okay.

[01:04:15] To put back to, to nourish the back to nurse the desk with blood flow and so on and so forth. So there you have it. Those are my 10 favorite movements and a little commentary as to why I firmly believe that if most people kept their training to just these moves, you know, and, and. Putting in the elbow grease, there'd be a whole lot more muscle within the world than what you see.

[01:04:42] Now, when you talk about bridging you mean bridging for the neck, right? No bridging, bridging for the back. Well, it's, you know, primarily it's considered a backup movement, but as an example, laying flat on your back on the ground, you place your hands, palms your [01:05:00] hands on the floor. Right by the side of your head and push with your arms and legs, push yourself up to you are forming a bridge.

[01:05:12] Okay. Les, the name of the movement. Um, but also understand that there are other variations of the bridge. Like the wall walks that I perform, uh, that are just fantastic. I can't say enough about them. And you know, you go into the gyms today. Nobody's bridging. Hmm. Nobody's bridging. So that should be a pretty good.

[01:05:35] That should be fine. Well, it'd be a good conversation thought or two in the gym. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. Um, we're going to take a last commercial break. When we come back, I'm going to reveal what I have discovered to be the greatest recovery stack of peptides that I've I've ever used. And I, and I say that.

[01:05:58] With [01:06:00] all honesty. So stay tuned. We'll be right back with board's super human radio and the blueprint powwow don't hate us because we feel good.

[01:06:22] welcome back. So what you see too? You're right. I need a picture of my car steering wheel and my hand holding a syringe with about eight tenths of a milliliter of fluid in it. And this is my post-workout peptide stack. And I can tell you this in complete honesty for me. I haven't had anybody else try it.

[01:06:55] So I don't know. But for me, um, I take the [01:07:00] shot. As soon as I get out of the gym, I eat a meal within a half hour to 40 minutes of taking that shot and an hour and a half or so after I've trained, I have no more fatigue. I literally feel like, I think my God, I feel like I could train again right now. And I'm adding muscle.

[01:07:19] And I really think it's because of a combination of things. I've always eaten high protein. That's not new. I've always trained hard, but I am training in a different way. Um, a couple of people out there have jumped on board. I'm getting, I got an email from Rigo Vargas twice and he said, it's insane. How his muscles feel pumped all day long.

[01:07:44] But what I really think is causing me to gain a fullness in my muscles that I haven't had in a long time. Is this injection right here. So what's in it. Everybody wants to know what's in it. So here's what it is. [01:08:00] I have my notebook ready. I'm going to pop it up here. Now the first thing that's in it is growth hormone.

[01:08:06] And some of you are going to say, but I don't have growth hormone and I can't get growth. And when you don't have to have growth hormone, I edit it anyway. And I'll explain the stack, have to our use of growth, hormone 75, our use of oxytocin. What does that little, I don't know what that little thing is.

[01:08:25] Object 500 micrograms of BPC, one 57, 500 micrograms of thymus and beta for 200 micrograms of growth hormone releasing hormone, which you can buy in either a CJC 1295 without Dak or modified growth, releasing factor 29, either one. And 200 micrograms of  specifically not GHR  and 500 micrograms of mechano growth factor, not the pegylated, just the regular, plain old mechanical growth factor that your body [01:09:00] recognizes the long lasting one.

[01:09:03] Okay. Um, is the, uh, Simon some data for, is that the TB 500? Yeah. They call it yeah. Peptide sciences. They call it TB 500, but at the time it's in beta for it. Okay. Okay. The growth hormone. So people say to me, Carl, why would you take growth hormone with a growth hormone releasing hormone and a growth hormone releasing peptide and.

[01:09:32] The reason is this growth hormone would never occur on its own. It would always occur with a pituitary influence from growth hormone, releasing hormone, as well as a somatostatin suppressor. Like  your body's never going to produce growth hormone without those other things being there. So it's very appropriate.

[01:09:59] To have all three of them [01:10:00] together. Now, if you can't get growth, hormone fine. Just use the growth hormone releasing hormone CJC 1295 without DEC and growth hormone releasing peptide number six. So just use those use the, if you're a large man, try between a hundred micro grams and 200 micrograms of each.

[01:10:28] That's the starting point with those VPC, one 57. We all know what that does. Post-workout it's magic, but BPC one 57 works by directing growth factors. So BPC one 57 is like the job superintendent says, Hey, we need to fix over here. We need to fix over there. But if no workers show up BPC one 57, can't do anything.

[01:10:51] So by having all the workers show up, which is the growth hormone. And the two growth hormone, secreted dogs BPC one 57 [01:11:00] works better thymus and beta four is fantastic because it will help to increase red blood cells. It will help to stimulate the immune system. People say, well, call, why? W why do we have to look at the immune system for recovery?

[01:11:17] Okay. So what's one of the things that plays a role in recovery inflammation, right? And inflammation is the army of the immune system. And getting inflammation to resolve is the key thymus in beta four, does that it was first discovered and used in race horses, and then humans. It helps you recover faster.

[01:11:37] We know that okay to that. And this one that people they can't get there yet head around, add to that oxytocin. I'm about to do a show with dr. Betsy earth. That's gonna rock the bodybuilding world. All I will say to you is this at oxytocin produces some of the same results, [01:12:00] muscle building results as trend bologne without the trend below, you have to use fairly high doses.

[01:12:07] I currently am using 150. I use three times a day right now. It's very inexpensive too, but in this shot, I just used 75 I'll use. And then last but not least mechano growth factor, which is called IGF one, EDC. And then people say, well, Carl, if you have all this growth home on, what do you need MGF for?

[01:12:32] Because by the presence of MGF being there more of the IGF one is conserved. It's not converted to IGF one ISA. So you end up with a very large pool of IGF one and mechanical growth factor at the same time. Now, there are people in this audience who are going to tear this apart and say, that's nonsense.

[01:12:55] You don't need this. If you take a nap, all I'm telling you is this. [01:13:00] I have never recovered this fast in my life. I literally you feel like I could leave work today and train, chest and shoulders again. And I just trashed them this morning. I trashed them the same thing with legs. I trashed legs and we had to go out that night for at least his birthday.

[01:13:16] I took this shot and I just felt like hour and a half to two hours later. I didn't feel like I trained my muscles were still pumped. They were super pumped, but I didn't feel fatigue. I didn't feel weary. I didn't have the, um, rubbery penis in my legs and felt my, my, my legs, my muscles felt engaged. It almost fools you, it makes you think you didn't train hard enough.

[01:13:40] You're like, wow. I don't feel like I trained hard enough. I feel I can go back to the gym and train some more. Now this is not cheap. Gut Rob go. I'm just, uh, my comment was, I looked at this stack and they said, Hey, that makes sense. Except what's oxytocin in there. Okay. So I, [01:14:00] I did my, I did my first show on oxytocin in 2014.

[01:14:05] Yeah. Okay. Scientists from UCLA took old rodents and young rodents and they injured their muscles. They stuck them with like a needle in the muscle, which was designed to show muscle damage. And they had three groups, the young rodents, the old Roden controls and the old rodents that got oxytocin at very high doses.

[01:14:32] And. The young rodents muscles recovered faster than the old rodents muscles, the controls, but the old Rodin's muscles with oxytocin recovered faster. Yeah. Then the young rodents muscles I started taking, I started taking 10. I use of oxytocin post-workout then in 2014, I didn't realize I needed more. The study that we're going to bring forward on this [01:15:00] show with dr.

[01:15:00] Betsy earth is going to change people's opinions of, I predict that most bodybuilders will start to include high doses it's. And in there they're drug stacks after the show, and I'm telling you is my muscles around and full it's different. It's like, like right now, when I feel my, my muscles were still large, but they didn't feel like this.

[01:15:23] They didn't feel. Like this puffy, full feeling. I can't explain it. That's a feeling I used to get on one and maybe it felt, it felt like they were a little man inside my muscles pushing out. That's the only way I can explain it w and method one test obviously did that too, but, wow. Well, I'll tell you what if, if this is anything close to trend below, guys are going to be all over it.

[01:15:55] All over and you say it's cheap? No, it's not cheap. That's my point. It's not cheap [01:16:00] and it's not terribly expensive either. So if you go to peptide side dances.com and use the code SHR, you'll save, I'm typing this out for the audience watching 10% off. However, um, so let's say you have growth hormone.

[01:16:20] You're already getting it from someplace. That's great. BPC. If you buy one bottle of this stuff, BPC one 57 is $59. MGF is $65.  $28. Um,

[01:16:41] a growth hormone releasing hormone $46. Um, Thymus and beta for $85 oxytocin $46. The oxytocin is a 10 milligram and you're only using, um, you're only using it micrograms of it every day. [01:17:00] So like a 10 milligram vial. I put four ML of water in there and every single click on an insulin syringe 25 I use, yes.

[01:17:10] So I have to take three lines on an insulin syringe. I mean, it lasts forever. It really does. Um, BPC one 57, you can use as little as 300 micrograms. I use 500 now, a mechanical growth factor. Another one that's fairly expensive, but you some lasts for months and some lasts for weeks. So you're not re you're not buying this stack over and over again.

[01:17:36] Every single. A couple of weeks, you're replacing some things and some things you aren't, so it's not an inexpensive. Oh. And also peptide sciences has a combo. They have a blend of CJC, 1295 without DAC. And  five milligrams of each in one vile for $75. And that's actually [01:18:00] what I use. I use that because it's just simpler to re reconstitute one and you're done.

[01:18:04] But, um, anybody who. Is already spending money on peptides. Give this stack a try, even if you can't get the growth hormone, because you're going to produce growth hormone anyway, on your own. I'm just, I'm just looking to push a little harder right now. So I'm including to our users. I have a prescription for two.

[01:18:22] I use of growth hormone five days a week, and I choose to use it this, but if you, you try this pep, this peptide stack. First of all be aware, oxytocin will give you a severe head rush. Like after you take the shot within, within a minute or two, you're going to start feeling your heart pound a little bit, not terribly, not like you're having a heart attack and you're going to feel pressure in your head.

[01:18:49] It goes away in about two or three minutes. The more you use it. The less it happens. It's like Gabba, you know, the more you use it, you become tolerant to it. And that's why I'm [01:19:00] up to 150. I use per injection now. And if I would have took 150, I use out of the gate, I probably would have thought I was having a heart attack.

[01:19:08] I would be like, Oh man, something's wrong. Cause you get, you get such a thing, head rush. It's freaking weird. It's like, Oh my God, what is that? But then it just goes away. But start out with 50 work your way up. To a hundred or even 150 over the course of a month or two, but the oxytocin and the mechanical growth factor are really doing the heavy lifting in this blend.

[01:19:32] They're really doing the heavy lifting in this blend. Yeah. It, um, gosh, that sounds exciting. It almost sounds like shades of, uh, dr. Connolly's original Progenics. Actually I thought about it. I thought he, he told everybody that you could go back and train the same muscle group the next day. I can do that with this stack.

[01:19:51] There's no doubt in my mind at him. Yeah. Well, I'll tell you if that's the case, then this is certainly gonna revolutionize. [01:20:00] The, uh, of the bodybuilding world and, and what, like you said, what they include in their sex. Is there any, um, any toxicity, et cetera, to be concerned with? No. No. I mean, you probably could, if you took too much oxytocin on your first dose, you probably could pass out.

[01:20:17] I got a feeling. You could, we have a couple of questions real quick. I want to answer. So Carrie Kruger who's in South Africa asked me if I've ever tried. Drawer's I have, I ate, I ate two bags of them over the past week. I love them. I love them. They're just so convenient. And I like beef. So samurai Jack says any thoughts on the super high five amino, uh, one MQ it's one MQ.

[01:20:41] I used it. I used it for a month and a half. I didn't notice a damn thing. I took the recommended dose, I think is 500 milligrams a day. I got it from a TaylorMade. I didn't notice anything. And Tommy D chronometer is going to be on tomorrow. I think. Hold on or Thursday, hold on. Let me, let me, hold on.

[01:21:03] [01:21:00] Um, granola mix is on Thursday. They're coming on Thursday to tell the audience what's going on and when everybody will get their results. So you'll want to tune in, please tune in Tommy so that you can ask questions also, please. But that's it. That is the a superhuman recovery stack. If you can afford it, try it.

[01:21:23] Here's my prediction. If you can afford it and you try it, you're going to see that it works and you're going to keep spending money on it because I have a feeling that I'm going to put on one muscle in the next few months then I have, you know, I, maybe since I started training, yeah, I can't wait to see you when you, you started this way.

[01:21:44] I just started using this about a week and a half ago, almost two weeks ago. Okay. Yeah. Like, you know, we're where you are in six weeks should say a lot here. Where did I post? When I posted that picture on Facebook, I was going to see, um, no, I don't have it open. I was going to see [01:22:00] when I posted that picture, I had been using the stack probably maybe a week at that point in time.

[01:22:06] So it depends on what the date was on that, but yeah. Peptide sciences.com use the code. SHR tend to save 10% off and plus. Peptide sciences, product prices go down. Like if you buy three or more, five or more, they have all these other discounts on top of the 10% off. So you can lower the price pretty quickly and consistently.

[01:22:29] So there you go. That's my secret weapon for me. Now, when you see me in a couple of couple of months. Yeah. When you see me in a couple of months and I am going to look different, cause I could tell already, um, you know, when I was doing. It was my new training style. It was this, and I continue to eat a lot of protein.

[01:22:47] So that's it. That's it. Cool. All right. That's all for today. Thanks for watching of course, visit  dot com to get a lot of this information in your [01:23:00] inbox with the blueprint bulletin. Amen. Thank you Rob for being here and we'll see everybody tomorrow with more super human radio. Thank you. Thank you. .
