Use Dakota, SHR 10, not only to get 10% off. But to let them know that you learned about them here on super human radio. And now without further delay calling all blueprint army fall in line.

[00:01:21] It's time for the blueprint power hour with coach Rodriguez on the superhuman radio network.

[00:01:31] Hey Rob, how you doing?

[00:01:33] Coach Rob Regish: [00:01:33] I am doing great. Um, I wanna, I wanna start off by giving a shout out to my wife. Who did two and a half chin-ups and eight dips this morning with her body weights, smashing some long-term goals. It's, uh, it's wonderful to see

[00:01:49] Carl Lanore: [00:01:49] that's strong.

[00:01:51] Coach Rob Regish: [00:01:51] That's strong. Yeah. You know, and, and, uh, she's not stopping there.

[00:01:54] So even, even with all of the, uh, issues that she's had and [00:02:00] continues to have with some, she is training her body to do things that at age 52 are amazing. For any age? Yeah.

[00:02:11] Carl Lanore: [00:02:11] So this is my nephew, Timmy Profumo. He said, great to see you, Carl, you can see me anytime you want come over to the house, but more apparently this kid's got a physique on him already.

[00:02:21] He I'm trying to inspire him to train harder and be more, um,

[00:02:25] Coach Rob Regish: [00:02:25] yeah,

[00:02:26] Carl Lanore: [00:02:26] he has all the markings of someone who can put on muscle very easily and stay lean at the same time. So maybe he'll, uh, focus some of that energy that he has. Uh, and even some of the anger he may have towards getting into the gym and taking it out on the weights.

[00:02:43] Of course, we also have to thank all the way from South Africa, Carrie Kruger for being here. And of course also a neighbor of hers, Andre clean, Hans, who is here as well. So thank you for being here, guys all the way from South Africa. I like that [00:03:00] worldwide baby worldwide. So you have a sale going on right now.

[00:03:06] Don't you.

[00:03:08] Coach Rob Regish: [00:03:08] Yeah. You know, I'm most forgot. Um, this is only going on, I think for a few more days through the end of the month. Um, but there is a big as in 21% off big Cynthia Jenn sale, uh, that is going on right now. And you simply need to use the discount code fall. Uh, at, you can go to  dot com uh, directly or, or bodybuilding supplements.com.

[00:03:33] I think there's a link on the first page, even, you know, one bottle or two bottles, 21% is quite a bit, especially on that item. So if you're going to stock up, now's the time to do it.

[00:03:45] Carl Lanore: [00:03:45] You've talked a lot on the show about how expensive it is to produce that product.

[00:03:49] Coach Rob Regish: [00:03:49] Well, it's astronomical. I mean, if most people knew, I think, I honestly think they would be shocked, right?

[00:03:56] Yeah.

[00:03:57] Carl Lanore: [00:03:57] They'd say, why do you do it? That's they say, well, why do you even do [00:04:00] it? Why do you do it?

[00:04:01] Coach Rob Regish: [00:04:01] Yeah, no, that's a, that's not a hard question to answer. I do it because I use the product myself when I want it to work to the maximum degree, then I possibly can. And I also. I have my name associated very strongly with this product, which I mean, think about it.

[00:04:20] How many times do you see that? You know, when someone has their name attached to something, there's a lot of pride, you know, and, and there's a lot of. Um, investment, not just monetarily, emotionally, psychologically. I put everything I had into that product. And, uh, I still get emails almost every day telling me that it shows, so I'm really proud of it.

[00:04:45] Yeah.

[00:04:46] Carl Lanore: [00:04:46] Um, yeah. So let's go right to the first question again, those of you watching live, or if you, if you want to listen live, you can listen live. You can go to Subaru and radio. Uh, dot net [00:05:00] slash live stream point, any browser on your iPhone or any browser. And you can listen to the show stream without having to watch the video until the first question comes from drew Davidson.

[00:05:12] He says, I try to read a lot, like you suggest, but can't find a training method I can stick with in your opinion, whose stuff should I be reading if I want muscles for the long haul? And he said, . And, um,

[00:05:29] Coach Rob Regish: [00:05:29] what's his name? Uh, Joe Arthur Jones,

[00:05:33] Carl Lanore: [00:05:33] author Jones, right. He, that he suggested those. And I thought why those two, that he just he's asking who's training pro work Crow program to use.

[00:05:40] And he goes right to the, you know, one, one set to max hit program. And that leaves a whole universe of other training program.

[00:05:50] Coach Rob Regish: [00:05:50] Yeah. And if you've been around for a while, like we have, um, Hit comes in and out of style, it's more popular at different times. It [00:06:00] probably achieved its peak popularity in 1992, when Yates won the Olympia, uh, and was being trained by Meltzer.

[00:06:08] So, uh, you're as truly was included in that meaning, uh, I bought all of Mike's books. I bought all of the audio tapes. And I did, um, personal consultations with him for heavy duty training. So I feel pretty confident in speaking to what it is and what it isn't, but also, you know, what's best for you. And first though, I want to give credit where credit is due because he specifically used the words, I think.

[00:06:38] The long haul. Right? And so right off the bat that tells me this guy's really serious about what he's doing. I'm looking at things for the long haul. Also keeps people from falling for everything from bogus training methods, promising overnight results to supplements, right? Burn fat while you sleep. I [00:07:00] saw it on TV the other day.

[00:07:02] Um, that said. The internet will offer you a myriad of different sources, all proclaiming that they have the solution to whatever training problem it is that you're looking to solve. Um, the stark truth of the matter though, is this most training methods, almost all of them work to some degree, but none of them seem to work forever.

[00:07:27] It is also true that just jumping from. You know, one program to another, almost always fails to build on whatever progress you may have made previously in the first thing that you were doing. What that means in a practical sense is this most people that program hop only gain relief more or less from mental boredom versus actually getting bigger, better or stronger.

[00:07:55] And so Mike Menser, uh, and. Before [00:08:00] him, Arthur Jones. We're the, we're the primary advocates for hit or high intensity training. Otherwise known as one works at to absolute muscular failure. There are a couple of problems. Um, several problems actually, but two in particular eventually hit stops working. Okay.

[00:08:20] And perhaps more importantly, both men, both Jones and monster were to be polite about it, very dogmatic, uh, in their beliefs in hip. And they would entertain, uh, not only no other training systems, but no deviations to, to the hip that they were teaching. So it became difficult. Right. So to find other solutions, if you will.

[00:08:47] Flat lined and plateaued. And let me say this of all the Platte Hills that I've hit and training. None of them were as hard as the one I hit after, you know, being on one set to absolute muscular failure. [00:09:00] Why? I don't know, it could have been because of the magnitude of the strength increases that I was making.

[00:09:06] Uh, I walked in there one day and hit an absolute brick wall. So. You know, that eventually stops working. I have, you've probably also heard me say, because I've been fond of saying that if you're ever confused, in terms of knowing what to do with your training, then five by five, five sets of five is your best default answer.

[00:09:30] It is. It seems to have the sweet spot. For volume, uh, for the intensity of weights that you're lifting and you need only manage the frequency. It is almost foolproof because there are so many different ways to progress. I have also throughout my entire life, I've been a voracious reader. Uh, And, and, and that includes, you know, everything going back to basically [00:10:00] 1988, which I think when I saw the first ads for Leo Costas, uh, Bulgarian burst training, which actually proceeded big beyond belief, but be that as it may have all of the authors.

[00:10:14] That I have read and studied. And some of which I've conversed with over the years of all of those coaches, um, I would tell you, Charles Staley probably offers the most logical common sense and varied programs and effective information that I have seen. And so we know why him, as opposed to let's say in Charles Pollock.

[00:10:41] Okay. I found that many people after trying Charles Poliquin stuff, they had a lot of hit and miss results. It seemed to be about 50, 50 half. The people absolutely loved it and did great on it. The other half, which I was a part of nothing. It never worked. I don't know why I [00:11:00] went back. I'm confident that I was doing it, uh, as it was described, but for whatever reason it didn't work.

[00:11:08] Um, however, On the flip side of the coin, when you consider how many Olympic and professional athletes that he trained successfully, that was a long list. Okay. The discrepancy, in my opinion, was this. If you worked one-on-one with Charles Poliquin, you did really well. I never heard of someone that didn't okay.

[00:11:32] And, and God rest his soul because he passed not too long ago. Um, but working from his articles, it seemed it was more hit and miss. And that was true too, of Ellington, Darden and, and, uh, John Little, et cetera, et cetera, all these different coaches, Staley to me does a much better job conveying things. In the written and spoken word.

[00:11:55] And thus you get a much higher success rate in the general training [00:12:00] population. And that's really the important thing, right? If you're going to try something you want to know, it has a very high success rate amongst people who do try it. So, um, I would tell you to read his stuff and use his stuff first and then take it from there.

[00:12:17] Finally, I will tell you that I spent many years combining and continue to do this combining the best of Leo Costas, Charles Staley, Mike mincer, Charles Pollock, when Pete Sysco and bill stars' stuff, and it just goes on and on and on. Along with Russian German, finish American loading patterns from all around the world.

[00:12:40] And the reason that that's unique is this. If you read just one person's stuff, if you read just coach Staley stuff, they're not going to advocate for any other methods, many of which will be very effective for you. Right? I mean, why would they, it, it would only hurt their business. Um, as far as I can see.

[00:13:00] [00:13:00] And I've read a lot. And then a lot of been a lot of different places on the internet and otherwise, uh, I seem to be unique in that regard, meaning nobody else is taking these training methods, combining them in a very particular, uh, sequence, such that the gains you make are substantial and ongoing. And really when you think about it, uh, an effective training plan for life, like he's trying to find is the most important fundamental to anyone's long-term success.

[00:13:35] So as long answer, but, um, you know, certain things need to blue blueprint.

[00:13:41] Carl Lanore: [00:13:41] If you want to shorten the whole answer up, you say, just get the blueprint because

[00:13:46] Coach Rob Regish: [00:13:46] it

[00:13:46] Carl Lanore: [00:13:46] capitalizes capitalizes on every different type of training style. And mixed knits them together in such a way that progress is built on the shoulders of the program you were running before.

[00:14:01] [00:14:00] Coach Rob Regish: [00:14:01] Yeah. And I, I, um, and again, that's something else I'm, I'm really proud of your first blueprint run, which would incorporate about 10 weeks of training. You're going to use five different training methods and the extremely high success rate that blueprint has. I'm sure. Confident is predicated on the speed with, with in the, in the sequence in which you go through those, but important to point out, you know, credit where credit's due.

[00:14:30] That's somebody else's stuff. I just tweaked it a little bit. So it's worth reading extensively. You know,

[00:14:39] Carl Lanore: [00:14:39] when we, when you were saying this, I had this thought in my mind, no, you have six households. And the person who cooks in each household specialized in something, one specialized noodles, one in preparing duck, one in preparing fish.

[00:14:56] And each of them, visually, if you ask the people in the household, they're tired of eating [00:15:00] doc kind of eaten fish, but you get all those people together and you have a feast, right? And so when you look at training styles, it's no different than anything else that humans have to deal with. And that is.

[00:15:15] We've become accustomed to certain things and I'm having the desired effect in the case of food, just doesn't excite me to eat that anymore.

[00:15:24] Coach Rob Regish: [00:15:24] I eat it all the time. Yeah. And this is,

[00:15:27] Carl Lanore: [00:15:27] this is, this is part of the human condition. And training is no different your training. If you train the same way. If, if, if, if Rob would have said to you do hit for the rest of your life and you did hit for the rest of your life, you would never have reached your potential.

[00:15:42] Because your body would have adapted to the hit the resistance, the training style, and you would have stopped making gains.

[00:15:50] Coach Rob Regish: [00:15:50] Right? And there, there are fundamental limitations to hit and, and most other types of training,

[00:15:55] Carl Lanore: [00:15:55] every training,

[00:15:56] Coach Rob Regish: [00:15:56] every training, every trainer,

[00:15:58] Carl Lanore: [00:15:58] the next question, and we have [00:16:00] a couple of questions, uh, lining up.

[00:16:01] We'll get to them either before this next, this break or after. Henry Kozlowski says I'm a classic ectomorph and trying like hell to gain mass. But I seem to be getting nowhere. I eat 4,000 plus calories a day, train hard, four days a week and am 17 years old. Should I train more? Holy crap. You're 17 years old.

[00:16:27] Coach Rob Regish: [00:16:27] Yeah, so this one is going to be fairly easy. And the biggest reason for that is because I went through exactly what he was going through at his age. First, you need to understand that nine times out of 10, the issue's diet 4,000 calories is enough for some people, because it depends, right. If you're five, four in one 20, Uh, your, your calorie you're going to need approximately 20 times body weight is what, 2,400 calories.

[00:16:58] But if you're six, [00:17:00] four in one 50, you're going to need at least 3000. That's a difference of 600, which is significant. Right. It matters. Right? You should also know that some extreme ectomorphs. I was one such case can require up to 25 times body weight, calories. So in a practical sense for me was I was right around 200 pounds.

[00:17:26] I needed 5,000 calories a day. Right. Versus 4,000, which most people would think is enough to gain the weight that I wanted. And just so we're clear doing this for a day or two, you know, doing that for a day or two is not too difficult doing a day in and day out

[00:17:45] Carl Lanore: [00:17:45] for years.

[00:17:47] Coach Rob Regish: [00:17:47] Right. For years, months, year, whatever the case may be.

[00:17:50] Right? That's the hard part. Eating becomes a job, uh, even more so when I had to take into account, for [00:18:00] example, my macros. So for example, I was on the anabolic diet when I did this. And during the week you eat 30 grams or less than carbs, right? Carbs a day, I found I needed up to a thousand additional calories.

[00:18:16] During the week just to keep my weight up, right. Because you're going to be losing some water and hopefully also some fat, but the point is, um, You need a lot and you may need more than you think, eating that much, whole food, by the way. Because once you get up into the five and 6,000 category hanging category, eating that much food is extremely difficult.

[00:18:41] If not impossible for, for a lot of people. So liquid feeds. Or your friend it's much easier to drink a thousand calories than it is to eat it. You know? So buy yourself a blender. If you don't already have one by yourself, a few shaker bottles and they go everywhere with you. [00:19:00] I gave mine names. I mean, I did, I did not go anywhere without them.

[00:19:05] It was in the car. It was in my classroom in college when I was doing this. And God knows it was back in my apartment when I was off campus. But drinking. A lot of those calories for a lot of people, especially ectomorphs is the only practical way you're going to hit those numbers day in and day out. If you are still not gaining muscle, then there's something woefully wrong with your training.

[00:19:32] And it probably doesn't have to do with frequency. You know, he's saying I'm going

[00:19:36] Carl Lanore: [00:19:36] for days. Yeah.

[00:19:38] Coach Rob Regish: [00:19:38] You know, uh, four days a week, if you're really working hard, even when you're 17 is plenty. Right here, we get back to what I was trying to emphasize in the previous question was your training will make or break you at this point.

[00:19:55] So you need to train effectively to stimulate muscle growth at every [00:20:00] workout. And then those calories will be put to good use. If you fail to do that, however, Most of the calories that you eat are gonna wind up around your midsection. I hate to say it, but that's what awaits you. If you just wing it or spend the best years of your life, right under eating and program hopping again.

[00:20:22] I spent several years doing that. I'm telling you this so that you don't make the same mistake. Make sure you're eating enough. Make sure you're doing it day in and day out and make sure your training is stimulating growth. From there you sleep enough and you should gain all the mass that you want. It's eating.

[00:20:42] Carl Lanore: [00:20:42] We have a question. Shouldn't a live question from Carrie Kruger in South Africa, asking about biological dentistry. She's doing quite a bit of a lot of research to find solutions for possible. Rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and stumbled into studies from biological dentists who [00:21:00] cure our a and O and other autoimmune diseases by detoxifying toxic cavitations toxic fillings and toxic root canals.

[00:21:11] I actually had,

[00:21:13] Coach Rob Regish: [00:21:13] um,

[00:21:15] Carl Lanore: [00:21:15] Oh God. What is his name? Dr. Cutler on the show years ago, uh, who was, uh, a big proponent of getting rid of all the amalgam in your mouth, uh, and talks about root canals being per permanent pockets of, of infection. I, so, so here's the thing I talked to him on the show. He's supposed to be the lead expert.

[00:21:37] Maybe that's some of the studies you read dr. Cutler, um, If you have an affection, you know, about it. Like when you get an abscess, that's an infection in your jaw and they have to give you antibiotics because puss starts pushing out from underneath the gum. You don't feel good. There's a lot of pain. This notion that there's low level infection in the [00:22:00] jaw with, uh, with, with, uh, root canals would have shown up by now.

[00:22:05] A number of people would have gone to the doctor saying I have terrible pain. Oh my God, you have an infection. Oh, it's the, if the tooth that we did the root canal on. So he gave me no evidence. There's no, there's no toxicology studies showing that these root canals are infected. Uh, his notion is that they're festering, there's something dead and they're in your mouth still.

[00:22:29] Well, that's true, but that doesn't mean that they're causing widespread infection and toxicity. As far as the, uh, amalgam goes. I do believe that having mercury in your mouth is a bad idea and I have a bunch of it and I'm actually planning on having it all removed, but it has to be done special by a dentist who knows what to do.

[00:22:50] They have to put an oral dam in. They do one tooth at a time. The dam cuts off anything from falling down your throat. They have all their tools have [00:23:00] vacuums on the, uh,  from that is sequestered in a special type of filtration system that is then disposed of like hazmat. Um, I don't think it's a bad idea to have them removed.

[00:23:13] Will it cure your RA? O N not necessarily C anytime someone says, if you have RA and OA and, and, and you have. Uh, amalgam fillings in your mouth and I can cure your RA and Oh eight by removing them. If they say that unabashedly runaway from them, if they say as part of a protocol to determine what is causing your hyper inflammatory response at destroying the joints in your body, I'd like to suggest we start with getting the amalgam out of your mouth so we can eliminate that as being a possible cause.

[00:23:54] The simple sensibility to that statement would make me say, okay, [00:24:00] let's try that. Cause you're not telling me it's going to cure me. There's a lot of people who have RA that have had their fillings removed and their RA didn't go away. And so then these doctors say, well, there's been an bioaccumulation of mercury in your body.

[00:24:15] That's not completely true. A mercury is, is, is a methylated and carried out. Of the body very easily. Very simply. All you need to do is eat nuts that have selenium selenium binds to mercury and allows it to undergo the methylation process in your liver. And you can screed it in, in your poop and in your, in your urine.

[00:24:38] I think it's in your poop, but is, is it wise to have the amalgam removed from your mouth? Definitely. If you have any kind of autoimmunity symptoms. Absolutely. Is it that, is it the cause for your auto-immunity? Maybe not. So that's my, that's my two cc's on that.

[00:24:58] Coach Rob Regish: [00:24:58] Yeah, I would, I would tell you, [00:25:00] Carrie, you and I need to talk, uh, as my wife is, is going through these issues, we don't know for a fact, uh, it's RA or it could be Lyme disease.

[00:25:12] Uh, but she can barely muster two hours asleep before she's awoken by the pain, you know, and that's taking every over-the-counter, you know, anti-inflammatory painkiller that she can on the subject of, of dentistry and heavy metals and that sort of thing. I can only tell you that, um, John Drake, who runs bodybuilding supplements.com.

[00:25:39] Was having a lot of these issues, um, years ago and did some sort of detox, I dunno if it was chelation or what it was to get these heavy metals, not just mercury, but heavy metals in general, out of his system, uh, and had [00:26:00] remarkable results. I mean, really, really remarkable. He did mention though that when he was going through that process, Uh, he felt at times very sick.

[00:26:13] I don't know if that's because the heavy metals are removed from wherever they're stored and now they're in,

[00:26:20] Carl Lanore: [00:26:20] it's called it's called Herxheimer. And, and what it is is that all of these toxins are being released into your bloodstream at the same time. And you make, they make you feel sick. In fact, tomorrow, um, dr.

[00:26:34] Suzanne Turner is coming on. The show we're doing is real detox therapies, because I'm frustrated with the detox industry. There's no tea. That's going to detox you the way you think you want to be detox. No, there's no lemon water. There are things, there are agents that you can use compound you can use, but you have to use them a specific way because of what Rob was talking about.

[00:26:57] If, if detox tea worked [00:27:00] or let's better, better, better, better. Remember that thing on the internet. You put your feet in it. And, um, and they, and the water turned black and they were like, Oh, it's taken all the toxins out of your body. If, if that, that stuff in that foot bath had the ability, like a dog whistle to call all the toxins stored in all the fat cells in your body.

[00:27:20] Cause that's where they are to come into your blood. Right now, rush down to your feet and exit through the soles of your feet, you would die of something called toxic shock syndrome. Anytime the level of toxicity in your body, uh, exceeds the ability for your renal system and your liver to handle it and excrete it, you die.

[00:27:43] And so there's no tea, there's no drink. There's no detox diet. All detox diets are doing is taking any potential toxins that are inside your digestive system. At the moment of detoxification, [00:28:00] it's not going to. The DET or the chemical that stored in the fat around your shoulder from when you were nine years old and someone accidentally sprayed you with their bug spray.

[00:28:11] That's the toxins we want to get out. Those are the toxins we want out of our body. You can't drink anything. That's going to make those toxins, leave yours, those fat cells and move into the bloodstream and move down to the liver where they can be excreted. So there is real, real detoxification, but it's not an, a drink and it's not an a T and it's not in lemon water.

[00:28:33] First thing in the morning.

[00:28:35] Coach Rob Regish: [00:28:35] Yeah.

[00:28:36] Carl Lanore: [00:28:36] We're going to take a quick commercial break. When we come back, we have lots of more questions. This is the blueprint power hour, stay tuned.

[00:28:52] welcome back.

[00:28:56] So the next question comes from [00:29:00] Byron gray. He says I'm more and more into anti-aging. What can you tell me about what that really means is keeping growth, hormone levels high, the most important thing? What about NAD? H I think he needs, it means NAD plus. What do you think?

[00:29:20] Coach Rob Regish: [00:29:20] Well, I'm successful. Anti-aging in my opinion, has nothing to do with magic bullets.

[00:29:26] Right. As much as the advertising and the supplement companies. And what does that stuff on TV, Sarah vital.

[00:29:35] Carl Lanore: [00:29:35] Yeah.

[00:29:36] Coach Rob Regish: [00:29:36] You know, it, as much as the world wants you to believe that Madison Avenue in particular, it's not true. It is true. That keeping growth hormone levels, uh, in a youthful range will help, but think about it.

[00:29:51] All of your hormones need to be optimal. They work in concert with each other. None of these one things [00:30:00] is going to do it right. I mean, does it make any sense that elevating just one hormone will do the trick? No. So let's review what we do now. How the body ages is still being mapped out. We know, for example, there's a genetic component.

[00:30:18] We know hormone levels decline. We know oxidation increases telomeres, unravel, and cells just don't function as efficiently as they did when you were young. We also know glycation, which the cross-linking of sugars plays a huge role. Uh, and of course, brain aging brain function. Dictates everything I would tell you that first and foremost, regular exercise is the single most potent tool that you have to delay aging.

[00:30:52] The benefits of exercise are undeniable, right? Both resistance training and conditioning work. The medical community, [00:31:00] people don't realize the medical community has come a long way on this for the longest time. They didn't, their opinion on resistance training was, you know, it can't hurt you. That's the best thing that he could say about it.

[00:31:14] There are so many studies now showing that resistance training and your cardio or conditioning work are important, both are. So I would tell you that one of the fundamental starting points is find a form of each strength, training and cardio, uh, that you like, and you can do and be consistent, right.

[00:31:37] That's a big part of the trick. If there is such a thing, second diet, pretty, pretty common sense, right? Don't put crap in your body. Right. Um, and in my opinion, number one on that list, just his simple sugars, unless you're using them. Post-workout and even then I think are far better options, [00:32:00] um, that we can discuss, you know, when we have time.

[00:32:04] I, I just don't see simple sugars as having a place in the diet. You know, they do terrible things related of course, to, to diet is intermittent fasting. I think you need to form, you need to practice in some form or fashion intermittent fasting. The studies tell us most of the studies tell us that it's about restricting calories, right?

[00:32:28] Very, very low calorie diets. Extend lifespan, but think about it, even if that's true, what kind of life is that? You know, we're talking extremely low calories, like hungry, angry, miserable all the time. Right. All the time. Right. All the time. And so in my view, that's just, that's not practical. I would be willing to bet.

[00:32:52] When the, when the dust settles and all the studies are in, you know, 50 years from now, they're going to find that intermittent fasting [00:33:00] extends lifespan as well or better probably due to the accelerated sloughing off. If you will, of old cells, dead cells and replacing them with new ones. Okay. Third fundamental sleep sleep is without question, the most important restorative that you can avail yourself to.

[00:33:21] Unfortunately, most Americans wear like a badge of courage, you know, how they can get by on how little they sleep, you know, and, and it's not in all cases, uh, due to some unsolvable problems. It's just that they're not making it. A priority. And if that's you understand that you're doing so at your own peril, listen, this is the age of DVD and on demand, everything, there is nothing on past nine o'clock at night.

[00:33:57] Let's say that you can't record that. You're, [00:34:00] you know, the world's going to stop if you don't watch it right. Yep. A good night's sleep. It's more important. You get all three of those right training, diets sleep and that's 90% or better. I would tell you a successful anti-aging. The last thing I'm going to talk about is preventative, uh, screenings, if you will, with respect to health care.

[00:34:23] Okay. And so, um, I had a colonoscopy a few weeks ago and yes, Carl, I want you to know, I did ask my doctor about that test that you mentioned. By the time he got back to me, I was one day away from surgery. So, you know, I went and I had it. Um, but these, these screenings are important. So during this colonoscopy, I woke up, I said, Hey doc, how'd it go?

[00:34:49] He said, pretty good. You had one pilot and we removed it. You know, we'll biopsy by and large for 50 year old male. That's pretty routine. The [00:35:00] phone call that I got a week later. Made it clear, it wasn't so routine anything but routine. Fortunately, this polyp was non-cancerous. However, it was a full 10 millimeters across or in diameter, which I'm told is a very, very big polyp and more concerning to, to the doctor.

[00:35:24] Uh, it was in a part of the colon that if you're going to get colon cancer, You know, that's where it usually starts. In addition, uh, they told me it's not going to be every five or 10 year followup for me. It's going to be every three years, you know? And who knows, maybe even more frequently. I was also told to notify the rest of my family.

[00:35:48] That colonoscopies need to start at 40 instead of 50. Okay. Um, A couple of things, a couple of things, [00:36:00] my polyp was non-cancerous did all of my preventative medicine like ginger and curcumin, and that stair on all these things, did that contribute to the fact that it wasn't cancerous. I can't say for sure, but I can say that a lot of these things are expensive and have all kinds of known benefits.

[00:36:23] So why wouldn't you take them? Right. Especially if you have the deck stacked against you, which leads me to my next point. I had, um, DNA, my DNA analyzed several years ago, more with respect towards fitness. Right? You do well with these foods. These you're allergic to this kind of training. You've got this kind of muscle tissue.

[00:36:46] However, there are also genetic markers on there for disease. And so I knew, I know now. That I have the gene for colon cancer and lung cancer. It doesn't mean you're going to get it right. [00:37:00] In fact, the only men in my family that got it worked really hard to get it. Cause they were, you know, two pack a day smokers and all this nonsense.

[00:37:10] Um, my point is this that's type of screening is powerful information, right? Because that was just science fiction. Not too long ago. I would tell you to do it because knowing the hand that you've been dealt is a bit, yeah, you're a big part of this, right.

[00:37:30] Carl Lanore: [00:37:30] You're telling them to do it, the DNA testing you mean?

[00:37:32] Right.

[00:37:33] Coach Rob Regish: [00:37:33] Yeah. Right. And so if you know, you have genes for these conditions in these parts of the body, then what does it do? It allows you to be more proactive. Okay. But we get back to anti-aging and I'll wrap it up. You want to train hard and consistently you want to eat natural foods as much as possible intermittent fasting or some form of it, um, to marry to those [00:38:00] natural foods and making sleep a priority is a huge one.

[00:38:04] And get your preventative screening stuff. If you do, you will be doing. Pretty much all you can to age gracefully and live a good long life supplement wise. We could talk for days about what's a good fit. And what isn't, I would tell you, um, the one I would be using, even though it's pitched more for bodybuilding is creating, right.

[00:38:30] We know that there are benefits not only to the muscles, but also where to the brain. Right. Huge, huge benefits. Um, and if you think about it, aging cellular aging is, you know, your batteries are going from here to here creating something that puts a little bit of that energy back in that battery. And it's inexpensive to boot.

[00:38:55] Carl Lanore: [00:38:55] The only, the only thing I would add to this is this one thing I think everything you laid out is [00:39:00] perfect. The only thing I would add to this, that colonoscopies are unnecessary today. They are very expensive. The average colonoscopy takes between 1,820 $500, which is most of it is paid by the insurance company.

[00:39:13] And that's why people are willing to go and do it because if you had to come out of pocket for that, people go, no, I don't want to do that. But with that being said, For the past 12 years, there has been a stool test in Europe used that has been shown in numerous well done studies to detect cancer earlier than can be detected with a colonoscopy.

[00:39:38] Number one, number one, number two, we've talked about this on the show for years. Polyps. I like mushrooms. They come and they go very quickly. There could be a polyp in your colon right now, three days from now it's gone shrinks right back into the lining of the colon. Um, number [00:40:00] three, when day unnecessarily.

[00:40:04] Cut a piece of tissue out of your colon. You have the potential for something called seeding. S E E D I N G. So let's say you have a benign polyp in your colon, but let's say there's a couple active cancer cells in there. Well, when they snip that, that cancer cell finds a home in fresh tissue. It actually starts to grow and a solid tumor becomes the next thing that they see in your colon as opposed to a polyp.

[00:40:36] So colonoscopies, barbaric, they're antiquated, they're inefficient. They don't work as well as people think you could go in and get a colonoscopy and you could be, you could get, uh, diagnosed with the colon cancer next year and they'll go, why didn't you use it? Why didn't you see this when you did? Oh, well, you know, we can't see it until it's big enough to see.

[00:40:58] Cola guard is [00:41:00] 350 $50. If you have to pay for it out of pocket, pay for it out of pocket, you take a poop in the morning. It comes with little spatula. You smear the poop on that. Watman blotter, you seal it up, you put it in the envelope, mail it back and they can tell you, Oh, now if they go, Oh, now you go and do something more invasive.

[00:41:19] You let them go into your colon and search around and see what's going on. Numerous people every year have perforated colon from colonoscopies and their lives have changed forever, forever. Uh, numerous people have infections implanted into them because autoclaving a colonoscopy machine is very difficult.

[00:41:38] You can't put a sensitive digital camera in 700 degrees. And sterilize it. So most of them are sterilized by using liquids and washes, and then they put them in a plastic bag. It, well, this one's been cleaned and it's very easy. I know people who have actually had something implanted into their colon and nearly died from diarrhea.

[00:42:01] [00:42:00] So the idea that colonoscopies and everybody should get, one is not true. It's not true. Everybody should buy a colo guard test and take a colo guard test. And then if you have something suspicious in a colo guard test, then you subject yourself to something more invasive and higher risk. But the reason doctors tell everybody, well, no, you need to start having colonoscopies at 14 now because they, 90% of the places where you will go get your colonoscopy are owned by a group of physicians in your town.

[00:42:31] And so they're basically writing you a prescription for something that you have to go to them and redeem. So they're making money. And if you don't believe me, the wall street journal did a full front page on the health section. About four years ago, five years ago, about the ridiculous amount of money people pay unnecessarily for colonoscopies every year.

[00:42:53] And on top of that, the risks that they are exposed to by having them done. So there are better ways. [00:43:00] There are better ways than a colonoscopy.

[00:43:02] Coach Rob Regish: [00:43:02] Yeah. Thank you. It was great information. Um, you would think with such a simple and meaningful test, the FDA would make it over the counter. Alright. I'm assuming your doctor's got ordered,

[00:43:13] Carl Lanore: [00:43:13] dude, dude, they, the hospitals, the doctors and the clinics that they own that do the colonoscopies.

[00:43:19] You think they want to lose 300 million a year?

[00:43:24] Coach Rob Regish: [00:43:24] No, no you're right.

[00:43:25] Carl Lanore: [00:43:25] No. They want you to drop that $2,500 a colonoscopy. They got people on rev and revolving doors going in and out for colonoscopies all the time now.

[00:43:32] Coach Rob Regish: [00:43:32] I mean, it's cool. I know

[00:43:34] Carl Lanore: [00:43:34] the doctors that own, those let's show, the doctor that you went to, he could be part of a group, the bunch of six doctors.

[00:43:41] They own that place. Think about how wrong that is, how wrong is it for the guy who's writing the prescription to benefit from the filling of the prescription. Why don't doctors just open up pharmacies and cut Walgreens out. Oh, Walgreens won't let let that happen.

[00:43:58] Coach Rob Regish: [00:43:58] Yeah. You can [00:44:00] make a good case. I guess, knowing that colonoscopy is Medicare fraud

[00:44:06] Carl Lanore: [00:44:06] and, and, and, and, and it's, and you don't even have to have symptoms.

[00:44:09] It's like, Oh, you're 40. You need a colonoscopy here. Really? But yeah, Cola guard is the way to go. They've been using it in Europe for about 12 or 14 years with great success. People don't get colonoscopies in Europe as a first line detection. They take the Cola guard test. First, we're going to take a quick commercial break.

[00:44:27] We've got lots more. Questions stay tuned. You're watching the blueprint power hour.

[00:44:41] Hey. Hey, welcome back. So we have a question from faith fitness guy on

[00:44:49] Coach Rob Regish: [00:44:49] YouTube.

[00:44:51] Carl Lanore: [00:44:51] He says years ago, coach Rob, you recommend taking less than, than. What is the timing of taking it? I've been taking it, uh, [00:45:00] EV ever since you first mentioned it, you've mentioned it since, but I missed when you should be taking it.

[00:45:05] I lift by the

[00:45:06] Coach Rob Regish: [00:45:06] way. Yeah. Um, I'll be totally honest. I don't know that, that, you know, time of day and, you know, taking it as I don't, I'm not aware that it's, uh, yeah. You can take it any one time better than the other. I think the bottom line is just take it.

[00:45:27] Carl Lanore: [00:45:27] I mean, it is, it is, uh, it is a Coleen donor, so it improves, it should improve brain function.

[00:45:34] That's why Arnold Schwartzenegger said it was, uh, um, should be banned. Uh, from sports performance in his encyclopedia of bodybuilding, he wrote, he said, it's his powerful ergogenic. Take it before you train. Take it in the morning when you wake up.

[00:45:50] Coach Rob Regish: [00:45:50] Yeah. And, and, you know, um, he may be referring, uh, to lectures, left lack of him.

[00:45:56] Granules. Uh, in fact, I'm almost sure that he [00:46:00] is, and it's important to point out that, uh, those granules are inclusive of a lot of stuff other than just Coleen precursors. You know, there's, there's phosphate searing, which has studies on it showing lowered levels of cortisol phosphatidylcholine and just a whole slew of stuff.

[00:46:19] Um, the brand that I use is I think is nine bucks a can stale firms, less of than me. Granules. Right. You can find those on Amazon. And, uh, it's a pretty nutrient dense, uh, compound and I use it every day.

[00:46:36] Carl Lanore: [00:46:36] Yeah. Yeah. That's it, it, phospholipids are very important type of fat. So, uh, Andre, uh, clean Hahn's from, uh, South Africa says, uh, the anti-ageing crowd seems to be promoting drugs, which suppress M tour.

[00:46:49] What is your opinion about this and how can this fit into muscle and strength building regimen? I actually just did a photo, a show about this guy.

[00:46:59] Coach Rob Regish: [00:46:59] You know, I, [00:47:00] I've heard so much about M tour over the past five years. I'm tired of it. It, I think it's overblown. I think it is, but one of many mechanisms that are important to muscle growth, but, you know, in, in terms of mTOR activation, My God, you know, if, if all of these things activated M tour, as much as they said, and, and we proceed with the assumption that M Tor can accelerate aging, I think I'd be dead right now.

[00:47:35] You know, there's just, there seems to be an over-focus on em tour. I don't think it makes a huge difference in the grand scheme of things. Uh, I don't think it makes. Any difference whatsoever.

[00:47:49] Carl Lanore: [00:47:49] So

[00:47:50] Coach Rob Regish: [00:47:50] it could be wrong

[00:47:50] Carl Lanore: [00:47:50] and imbalance and empty Corrine and PK has been shown to age rodents much faster. And that's where the science has come from.

[00:47:59] We also have [00:48:00] research from dr.  that shows that cancer patients and kidney rejection patients who received received rapid myosin is anti-rejection drugs, safety. They have more robust immune systems. They seem to, uh, age better. Um, from all the phenotypical signs of aging, how you look and your hair and all that sort of stuff, they seem to have less, um, autoimmune disorders.

[00:48:27] And so a lot of this information is being extrapolated about the science, at least on rodents, uh, C elegans, the worms, a couple other species shows that when mTOR is constantly turned on an amp, K is suppressed. The species ages faster. Now, with that being said, I just did a show. I'm trying to find it. I don't know if I'm going to find the fast enough, but if you go to my website and search over the past month, I did a show that looked exactly at [00:49:00] this and the consequences of building muscle.

[00:49:04] And as it turns out , which is the one that does the heavy lifting, that's supposed to improve protein synthesis and build muscle, doesn't play an important role in protein synthesis at all. And they showed in the study that  when suppressed did not have any effect on building new muscle. So I don't think you should worry about it.

[00:49:29] There is some evidence that, um, Suppressing  periodically. Like I do once a week with, uh, with six milligrams of rapamycin actually improves, uh, muscle function in older men by re re eliminating senescent cells that cause stiffness and, you know, your muscles just don't work the way they used to use. But I think Rob is right.

[00:49:50] Th th th it's not, we don't know yet. We think, yeah. All, a lot of this stuff about anti-aging somebody got really pissed off at me on Instagram one day, because I said that. [00:50:00] Everything we think about anti-aging is all speculative. We really don't know. We don't have, we don't have enough 150 year old people who have done things, you know, like test case to see if this stuff actually plays out in humans and how it plays out in humans and whether or not we're barking up the wrong tree.

[00:50:18] Coach Rob Regish: [00:50:18] Yeah. Um, and it's tough too, right? Because in some models and a lot of models, rodents are good models for humans, but not in all. So it's a, it's a tough one. I just don't think it's as important as the, as the supplement world thinks it is.

[00:50:37] Carl Lanore: [00:50:37] I got a, uh, a quick mention. I have to do so many of you may know.

[00:50:43] That we are giving away a $5,799 a far infrared sauna from good health saunas. Well, we've had over close to 30,000 [00:51:00] visitors to the page and we still haven't met our requisite number of sign-ups in order to have a drawing. So, if you're listening to this right now, you still have time. It's just a couple of handfuls of names we need left.

[00:51:16] And who knows? You may sign up today or tomorrow after listening to the podcast and be the name. Um, if you go to SHR network.biz/free sauna, all lowercase, you enter your name,

[00:51:33] Coach Rob Regish: [00:51:33] your

[00:51:33] Carl Lanore: [00:51:33] email address. You don't have to enter your cell phone, but they do ask for it, but it's optional. And hit submit and you're entered and we will give this sauna away next week and it could be you.

[00:51:44] So again, go to it's HR network.biz/free sauna and sign up good health saunas has the best customer service, lifetime warranty. Zero toxic materials used to build this on us and zero [00:52:00] EMF output by any of their electronics. So, and it's a corner unit. While it fits three people. It's actually smaller than a two man unit that goes flat against

[00:52:12] Coach Rob Regish: [00:52:12] the wall.

[00:52:13] You can

[00:52:13] Carl Lanore: [00:52:13] put, if you have a studio apartment, you could put it in your apartment.

[00:52:17] Coach Rob Regish: [00:52:17] Wow.

[00:52:18] Carl Lanore: [00:52:18] So please take advantage of that. Okay. Sorry about that. All right. So the next question comes from Kenny. Grush go. He says, uh, uh, I wasn't in vitamin shop the other day and my head was spinning. There was so many protein powders, pre-workouts vitamins and minerals.

[00:52:35] It's hard to know what to look for. I'm new to all of this. Where should I be focusing my money?

[00:52:44] Coach Rob Regish: [00:52:44] Well, if you are truly new to the field, uh, I would tell you that the worst place in the world wouldn't be to be at a vitamin shop or any deserving supplement store, because right from the get go. [00:53:00] There is a presumption that you need to take something right.

[00:53:04] To get results. And that's a very dangerous thing because it puts you behind the eight ball very early on, right, right off the bat. You are majoring in the minors and I'm going to give you just one very pointed example that I will never forget. There was a month long. He did exchange on body bodybuilding.com was about whether or not, uh, a person should be using creatine monohydrate citrate or hydrochloric upon further inspection and some questioning.

[00:53:47] It turned out these were 16 and 17 year old kids that weigh 150 pounds and just started training. That's majoring in the minors, whether [00:54:00] you use monohydrate citrate or hydrochloride, it, that's not, what's going to make or break you. What will make or break you again. We get back to fundamentals. So, uh, again, as somebody new to it, move number one, hire a trainer.

[00:54:16] And or avail yourself to a good source of information. It think about it like this too. It doesn't have to be forever. Right. But realize that a good trainer or a good teacher, so to speak is going to take years off of your learning curve because that trainer, if he's really, you know, if he really knows his stuff and he cares.

[00:54:42] He's going to help you avoid all of the mistakes that he made, right. And that you are about to, and otherwise give you a lot of useful information on how to get, you know, gaining the fastest gaining, what, whatever that means to you [00:55:00] putting on muscle, losing fat, some combination of the two, et cetera. Um, and.

[00:55:06] If you're still all gung ho about supplements, it's a pretty safe bet that the trainer is going to know a whole hell of a lot more than you are, or just, you know, asking your buddies. Hey, you know, what do you think is good? That in turn is going to save you. A lot of money. It's not, don't focus on the outlay for a personal trainer for let's say six months,

[00:55:32] Carl Lanore: [00:55:32] but more important is

[00:55:33] Coach Rob Regish: [00:55:33] more important here to what a good trainer.

[00:55:36] Carl Lanore: [00:55:36] More important to one thing, one thing I'm sorry for interrupting you, but I couldn't let that moment pass if your training recommends supplements it's because they understand what your goals are. If you walk into vitamin shop and let the schmuck off the floor record record, he's going to recommend what you're getting paid.

[00:55:53] The highest commission on.

[00:55:57] He doesn't know you, he doesn't know how you're training. He doesn't know what your [00:56:00] goals are. Your trainer does. Got it. I'm sorry.

[00:56:03] Coach Rob Regish: [00:56:03] That's okay. Um, but you know, the point is a good trainer is usually worth, uh, his, his weight being cool with that additional money and time that he's going to save you. You're going to be able to buy more fresh food, thus improving fundamental number two, your diet.

[00:56:22] Cutting unnecessary carbs, certainly sugars and processed junk junk food or God-forbid soda. I solved the God. The latest study on that was just terrifying. Uh, cutting those things out of your diet is going to work far better than consuming any obscure, single amino acid or herbs from deepest, darkest Africa.

[00:56:47] If you want to make a macro or big change to your physique. Then rearrange or otherwise modulating your macro nutrients in your diet, proteins, carbs, and fats [00:57:00] doing the same with micronutrients. Like, you know, God knows what seaweed that they're saying is a miracle, you know, not nothing. Ever works to the same degree, nothing micro that you do.

[00:57:18] Um, you also want to buy yourself a good mattress and pillow, and I'm sure people are like, what, what is he talking about? Investing in good sleepwear. I'll call it and making sleep a priority can make the difference between not gaining at all and making great gains because everything you do or everything you want to do.

[00:57:42] Is predicated on sleep, you skimp on it and you will almost certainly not get the results you want or completely fail. You get good quality sleep consistently, and it'll help you more than any supplement that you'll ever use, including mine guaranteed. [00:58:00] The Russians had to say the rest of your days depend on the rest of your nights.

[00:58:06] I like point taken, never like never forgot it. Uh, and if you don't believe me, go without sleep for a few days, when you finally collapsed and you do get a good night's sleep, you will see precisely what I mean. And most of us have had that right experience. We'll get back to supplements again. You know, when I train people, particularly men, I insisted.

[00:58:30] Uh, and the young kids in particular, I insisted that they gain their first 15 to 20 pounds. And or double their strength levels on, on bright key exercises, which is very doable when you're, when you're a newbie before they ever used a pre-workout creatine, amino acid, protein powder, whatever you want to call it.

[00:58:54] Okay. If you do, if you absolutely must use a supplement and most [00:59:00] people feel like they need to be using something, then I would tell you to make it not create a team. But essential amino acids, take six grams immediately before training and another six after if you feel the need to you over time, you're going to get a feel for what a difference six grams makes and believe you me.

[00:59:21] It's substantial. In fact, the latest studies show conclusively that six grams of essential aminos prior to training elevated protein synthesis up to 600%. Okay. Versus that same six grams taken afterwards. Why do I recommend both? Well, frankly, most people don't want to, right. They want to get everything they can out of it.

[00:59:46] And for some that are very intense workouts, very large people. Uh, that's probably the right answer. Later on after you've built muscle, you can use creatine [01:00:00] monohydrate to volumize that muscle. And of course the more that you have, the more volume you're going to have, right? The more you're going to get out of creatine, but also understand you have played your supplement ACE card.

[01:00:16] Okay. The very, very few things are going to make as big. A difference is create a team and understand that difference for most people is going to seem very marginable because they're expecting, they're going to just wake up and sprout muscles the next day. Cause they're loading with 20 or 30 grams of creatine a day.

[01:00:40] It doesn't work like that. Okay. Save that ACE card for when you need it. Follow those steps. Okay. Those fundamentals, especially following those will unquestionably put you way ahead of where you would otherwise be if you were still in the vitamin shop, [01:01:00] comparing labels. Right?

[01:01:03] Carl Lanore: [01:01:03] Right. So advice. Good advice.

[01:01:06] The next question comes from John Loudon. Johnny Loudon is I have a weird question. How do I lose muscle? Because quite honestly, I'm a really big guy who needs to get his weight down because I'm getting older.

[01:01:22] Coach Rob Regish: [01:01:22] Yeah. Um, well, a couple of things first, I, I would never intentionally try to lose muscle. As you said, Carl muscle is the currency of life, right?

[01:01:34] Even in very large people, I just can't see a scenario where those folks don't also carry some body fat that they need to lose. You know, he may be thinking, gosh, I've got no body fat, I guess I need to lose muscle now, you know, if you really want on a, see that,

[01:01:52] Carl Lanore: [01:01:52] get a DEXA.

[01:01:53] Coach Rob Regish: [01:01:53] Yeah. Get a DEXA body scan. Which will give you a real handle on what you have [01:02:00] left to lose, because I think you'd be surprised.

[01:02:03] Um, and you need to reformulate your plan and by the way, um, some of that almost certainly is visceral fat, uh, that you can't necessarily, you know, pinch an inch, but it's around your organs and it's the worst time, the worst time be that as it may. How do I lose muscle? That actually, isn't a bad question because it's going to help illustrate for me the things that all too often.

[01:02:30] So vert your efforts to build muscle. So this is going to be a little tongue in cheek, but it also serves a purpose. So first things first, go ahead and starve yourself to drastically reduce calories because all the studies. And certainly if that doesn't convince you, the practical experience will indicate a drop in virtually every mechanism that builds muscle.

[01:02:56] Uh, including M tour. [01:03:00] So, you know, not eating much at all is a really fast way to lose some muscles of all the things you can do. I'd tell you, that's probably the most abolish second to God forbid, you know, burning in fact, um, if you restrict calories enough, it won't matter what you do in the gym, meaning you can stimulate all the muscle growth.

[01:03:25] That you want with the best training methods from the best coaches. But if that caloric cement is not there to number one, support, optimal energy functions are about the bodily functions and number two. Have enough VIT around to spare to build new muscle. You're not going to build any okay. Next you can either dramatically over or under-trained either.

[01:03:52] One is going to ensure very little to no muscle growth. Although I will say, you know, your risk [01:04:00] of injury, uh, and sickness as well as infection and so forth is going to be much lower. By under training than over

[01:04:08] Carl Lanore: [01:04:08] hell. Under-trained just, don't train for six months and that's it.

[01:04:12] Coach Rob Regish: [01:04:12] Yeah. Yeah. You know, it's no stimuli.

[01:04:15] Yeah.

[01:04:15] Carl Lanore: [01:04:15] Just, just stop training for six months. Cut your calories in half and stop training for six months. You're going to lose muscle faster than you want to.

[01:04:23] Coach Rob Regish: [01:04:23] Yup. Yup. You can also accelerate the process by staying up to ungodly hours, uh, or otherwise trying to get by a minimal sleep. So, you know, since you do most, if not all of your growing while you're asleep, that's a surefire way to making sure you don't.

[01:04:40] Carl Lanore: [01:04:40] Sure, sure. Fire way to get colon cancer too, just for the record

[01:04:44] Coach Rob Regish: [01:04:44] serious. And then also, uh, in an effort to compensate for poor training diet and sleep. Take lots and lots of supplements because doing so is not going to build any muscle of course, but it will [01:05:00] leave you with a lot less money to buy actual food.

[01:05:04] That could be, that could be, uh, fueling your muscle growth. And then finally, uh, this is something that will really contribute as well. Go ahead and get yourself a high stress job. High stress relationship and, or start drinking heavily and get into debt. Any sleep you do get will be miserable. And every one of those is great for chewing up lots of muscle.

[01:05:31] So, you know, those, those five things, by the way, with the exception of maybe the last ones, what do they all have in common? Almost every one of those is seen as a threat to your survival and survival. Is your body's number one priority, which especially when it's tapping into that to keep you alive, puts muscle growth way down here and it won't be happening.

[01:05:58] So any one of those [01:06:00] is bad enough if you combine some or all of them though, uh, you can guarantee building muscle isn't going to happen. Not only is it going to happen, but you're also going to lose a lot. So. Again, you know, tongue in cheek, but those are the things that subvert people.

[01:06:17] Carl Lanore: [01:06:17] I feel prednisone

[01:06:18] Coach Rob Regish: [01:06:18] get a prescription for long

[01:06:20] Carl Lanore: [01:06:20] term medical prednisone, and it'll turn on the catabolic effects of muscle and you be both diabetic and you'll have no muscle in about three months

[01:06:32] Coach Rob Regish: [01:06:32] and look how often they prescribed it.

[01:06:35] Carl Lanore: [01:06:35] So we have one last question from the viewing audience, and this is on a. On YouTube from bro. Do you even towel row? He says, I use a lot of caffeine. What would be the benefits if I swept, switched to F Adriene in lieu of it? This is, this is,

[01:06:53] Coach Rob Regish: [01:06:53] yeah. Um, I would, I would tell you that there are few, if any benefits to switching the [01:07:00] magic occurs when the two were combined.

[01:07:02] Carl Lanore: [01:07:02] Right.

[01:07:04] Coach Rob Regish: [01:07:04] And so, you know, I I've used these things eight ways to Sunday. Almost every day for the last 25, 30 years. That's not an exaggeration ephedra and by itself doesn't do much add caffeine and the magic starts. And by that, I mean, um, like any good stimulant, it it'll suppress appetite, but it's also been shown to help you retain more muscle.

[01:07:33] Uh, it certainly gives, gives you energy and puts you in a good mood. At least it does, for me, uh, it is the best fat burn or the combination of those two, the best fat burner that there is, frankly, I have not found another compound that pairs quite as well with ephedrine, uh, as caffeine, although, um, I have substituted [01:08:00] the, the, uh, The caffeine with, uh, the drug name in Europe is Aquila.

[01:08:09] It's it it's illegally eluding me for some reason. Um, but you're going to see things like a dynamo mean and similar type of means that are said to do the same thing as caffeine. They don't really come close. They don't really come close. Um, so nefron, uh, very, very, uh, pure send that friend will give you a little bit of a kick.

[01:08:36] Uh, but I wouldn't drop caffeine for F a dream in the same way that I would not drop F a drink for caffeine.

[01:08:45] Carl Lanore: [01:08:45] And, and so now when you combine a nasal spray, I wonder if that effects, if that gives you any energy, when you use it as an, I know it raises your blood pressure.

[01:08:53] Coach Rob Regish: [01:08:53] Yeah. And that's obviously that's, that's not a good thing, right.

[01:08:57] Um, gosh, I'm trying to remember [01:09:00] the name of that combine. It's it is an analog of vitamin B one

[01:09:05] Carl Lanore: [01:09:05] Oh, Sal Bumi.

[01:09:06] Coach Rob Regish: [01:09:06] So Udemy. Thank you. Yeah. So, um, so Buddha amine has, has a very interesting effect and it's certainly noticeable. It's not as noticeable as whacking back 500 to a thousand milligrams of caffeine. Uh, but it's there, it seems to pair well with a federal and if you're going caffeine free, I would tell you.

[01:09:30] That's one of the two compounds that I would recommend highly the other one, uh, frankly, that's going to be going out to my subscribers next month. I'm really excited about it because like you, Carl, I I'm using astronomical amounts of caffeine way above what I should be. Right. And for what? I don't even get the kick that I used to.

[01:09:52] Right. Oh, yeah.

[01:09:54] Carl Lanore: [01:09:54] Yeah. That's how I felt about it. And I I've been caffeine free for a couple of months, but I had a half a [01:10:00] scoop of total war yesterday morning.

[01:10:03] Coach Rob Regish: [01:10:03] Yeah.

[01:10:03] Carl Lanore: [01:10:03] I don't know why. I just felt like I needed it. And not only did it not really give me what I was hoping for as far as the way I felt, but my, my sleep.

[01:10:13] It looks like the Alps last night. It was like all night. Well, I didn't sleep good. That's why I'm dragging today. I'm going to, I was supposed to train this morning. I'm going to try to train after work today and then go home and get a good night's sleep. All right, we're going to take a break. And when we come back, we have the blueprint tip of the day.

[01:10:27] Stay tuned. We shall return

[01:10:30] Coach Rob Regish: [01:10:30] is this superhuman channel

[01:10:31] Carl Lanore: [01:10:31] where we use oxygen for the power of good.

[01:10:39] Welcome back to the blueprint power hour here at superhuman radio network and the blueprint tip of the day. Rob, what is it?

[01:10:49] Coach Rob Regish: [01:10:49] The tip of the day is the training equivalent of blasting

[01:10:54] Carl Lanore: [01:10:54] for people who don't know a blasting and cruising is let's explain that first.

[01:10:59] Coach Rob Regish: [01:10:59] Um, [01:11:00] last thing in cruising essentially is using lots and lots of, um, our favorite four chemicals structure compounds.

[01:11:09] And then, uh, instead of coming off, totally, you just take a lesser amount. So it's interesting how that's all unfolded because back in the sixties, let's say Arnold's sixties and seventies. Arnold's day, they cycled. And sometimes, uh, Just prior to the contest. So there was a period where they were on period while they were off sometime during the mid nineties, though, mid to late nineties drug use at the highest levels of bodybuilding was going through this metamorphosis.

[01:11:43] And so no longer did guys come off, they blasted in crews. Um, did it lead to bigger bodybuilders? Yup. Did it lead to bigger problems? Yeah. Uh, I'm, won't go so far as to say guys died because of it. And that's a definite, [01:12:00] um, I don't know that you can say that to definite, but their problems were bigger. Okay.

[01:12:07] The question I asked myself though, Recently was this, can you apply blasting and cruising to your training too? Because if you think about it, it's got several advantages over most conventional training methods. So consider for example, uh, the following two trainees, the first guy trains religiously four days a week, and he tries adding weight or reps wherever he can.

[01:12:35] Uh, he trains that way year round. With PR maybe a week off every eight weeks or so, the truth is he's going to make some progress, uh, or at least more than, than your average gym rat, but it's not going to be anything mindblowing, the second training, uh, blasts and cruises training. So as an example, for the first two weeks, [01:13:00] he's doing several sets of low to moderate reps on a series of exercises.

[01:13:05] And he's doing that five days a week. So let's call it Monday through Friday. He doesn't attempt to increases his weight or his reps. He does add the extra set from week to week and thus his training frequency is high. Uh, with the addition of a little bit more volume as the, as the second week commences weeks, three and four.

[01:13:30] Our man here trains just two days a week. And he's only using maybe two work sets per exercise, but here's the key he's adding as much weight as he can. Let's say, you know, a chin up a way to chin up. And he's doing that, uh, for two to three reps. So anywhere between 85 and 90% of what his one rep max was when he started the program weeks, five and six, he goes back to high-frequency.

[01:14:00] [01:13:59] And increasing volume pretty much the same as we wanted to. And then with his adaptive energies peaked. He trains in week seven and only once a week. Uh, but shooting for a new one rep max in, in each exercise that he applies this to my opinion is, and it's a strong one, uh, about this is that the second training is going to take is going to make much better progress, much faster due to this blast Incruse effect.

[01:14:36] The adaptive energy he creates during those high-frequency higher volume weeks serve to uncork his gains in weeks. What three, four, and seven when he returns. And here's another important thing when he returns to either phase his body and maybe even more importantly, his [01:15:00] mind is primed for it. If you find yourself dreading the gym.

[01:15:06] If you're sitting here and I got, Oh, I got to go to the gym in an hour. It's bench presses and incline presses, and cable crossovers. Again, if that's going on up here, you can bet you can bet your body is bored with it. And there are, there are a number of ways to do this, right. Um, another method of blasting might involve doing loading pattern work, but also for any accessory exercises, uh, you're doing ladders consisting of seven, six, five, four, and three reps.

[01:15:43] You do three of those ladders. That's 150 reps added to your right to your total tonnage. Um, And, and actually too, if you do two exercises, uh, it adds that much, which is substantial, very substantial. [01:16:00] And let's say he does that for four weeks or six weeks for the next two weeks, two months after that he trains just twice a week and he's going to be, you know, setting new PRS left and right.

[01:16:15] Um, Heavy duty training. High intensity training was mentioned earlier in this show. That is a great way, uh, to cruise and why, because you're coming from the exact opposite. You're coming from a high volume, high total tonnage phase. And for people that switched from that, the high intensity training will make phenomenal games.

[01:16:42] For a period of time. And that period of time you'll easily get two weeks out of it. Some people will get four or more. Um, so his gains, likewise are going to be spectacular, especially when compared to the first training who is not [01:17:00] using lasting and cruising, uh, now to be Timmy clear these blasting and cruising methods, they're not new.

[01:17:08] Right. But I have to ask the question. How many people have given that an honest try, because from what I can see, the only time most people come close to doing something similar is, uh, by accident almost right. Cause they'll train hard and heavy don't

[01:17:27] Carl Lanore: [01:17:27] injure themselves or they'll, they'll get tired of training that way.

[01:17:31] Yeah, yeah.

[01:17:32] Coach Rob Regish: [01:17:32] Or, or they get a small injury and they back off. And then when they returned to the gym, my God they're shocked. Right? How much stronger they are. Right. And so there's a lesson there. Very, very powerful lesson. Um, those methods to have a library of those, a little black book contained with. Half a dozen blasting methods and half a dozen cruelly [01:18:00] cruising methods would be a grand thing to have in your back pocket, because it'll put you way ahead, way ahead of the people that aren't doing that in fact, I'm going forward, I'm going to be compiling a list.

[01:18:16] Much more extensive list than just half a dozen of training methods that you can use in each phase. And if you think about it, whether it's my stuff or somebody else's that the beauty of it is this, you liked German volume training. Awesome. There's a place for that. Right? The, the blasting fit phrase, you like hits are static, holds.

[01:18:38] There's a place for that too. You know, the cruising phase. Uh, in next month's bulletin, uh, I'm going to be debuting two new methods that fit nicely into that whole blast cruise model. One is what I'll call a timed interval approach for your big lifts. And this method was advocated by [01:19:00] Louie Simmons once, but you almost never hear about it and it doesn't fit nicely into the max effort.

[01:19:06] Dynamic effort, repetition method. It's somewhere. In between, but my God is at work and works well. Um, and of course, there's, there's a second one that fits better into the cruise one. These training methods when used in that sequence. Allow you to reach a training apex that you otherwise could not achieve.

[01:19:31] I know because I personally tested each method. I'm not going to roll a method out to my subscribers that I don't know works for 99% of the people. Um, so that's, today's food for thought blasting and cruising with your training has a lot of merit. It really does. Um, It is, I think when you apply it to training, I think it's an even more powerful [01:20:00] concepts in terms of building muscle long-term than how it's being used now in terms of drug abuse.

[01:20:08] So, uh, looking a little further down the line, I'm going to be taking that, um, Compilation of methods to use in each phase and marrying that to supplementation. And I've already started that process. And just let me say this. Um, it has already yielded some surprising findings. I'm not, I didn't say. You know, your gains are equivalent to drugs are approaching drugs.

[01:20:39] What I did say was a lot of the assumptions I had going in as to which supplement would work best in which phase, um, were, were not correct, but I found which, which ones did. Uh, and I think now I have a handle on why, and once I have all of the particulars down, [01:21:00] including why that two will be. Will be shared.

[01:21:04] It's something that anyone can do. Um, you just need to have an eye for w for where each training method fits

[01:21:15] Carl Lanore: [01:21:15] Friday. We're having a show that you're going to love.

[01:21:18] Coach Rob Regish: [01:21:18] Okay.

[01:21:19] Carl Lanore: [01:21:19] Cos it's actually probably more important for older trainees than you are.

[01:21:24] Coach Rob Regish: [01:21:24] Yeah.

[01:21:25] Carl Lanore: [01:21:25] But what if I told you there's a peptide that would give you all the muscular gains?

[01:21:33] Oh, trend bologne without any of the sides of trend bologna.

[01:21:40] Coach Rob Regish: [01:21:40] Where do I sign up? Is this why? K 11?

[01:21:43] Carl Lanore: [01:21:43] No, no. It's about, it's a peptide and it's not a Psalm.

[01:21:48] Coach Rob Regish: [01:21:48] Oh, okay. Yeah. That's right.

[01:21:49] Carl Lanore: [01:21:49] No, it's a peptide and science is discovering. It's more magical than we ever thought.

[01:21:55] Coach Rob Regish: [01:21:55] And is this, is this something commercially available yet?

[01:21:59] Carl Lanore: [01:21:59] It's been [01:22:00] available for a long time. In fact, in fact, regular physicians could prescribe it without having any scrutiny of the DEA or the FDA or anybody.

[01:22:09] Coach Rob Regish: [01:22:09] Wow. They

[01:22:10] Carl Lanore: [01:22:10] prescribe it. Now they prescribe it now for women in low doses for different reasons.

[01:22:15] Coach Rob Regish: [01:22:15] Is it suppressive?

[01:22:17] Carl Lanore: [01:22:17] No, no, no, no, no, no. It's not. It's not a steroid hormone.

[01:22:20] I don't have any type. It does not interact with the HPT. It acts on a cellular level. Well, uh, on muscle. And the reality is it is the peptide. That is the reason that tremble alone is the most powerful anabolic steroid in the way world course trend bologne elevates this particular protein tied in the blood and has now been identified as the reason you build the amount of muscle that you build on trembling.

[01:22:53] You don't have to take the tremble.

[01:22:55] Coach Rob Regish: [01:22:55] Okay. Can you text it to me before Friday? Yeah, of course. Of course. [01:23:00] No, no, I, you know, I'll wait and thank you for, for alerting me to that. You know, it just it's it's

[01:23:07] Carl Lanore: [01:23:07] I'm going to tell ya I'm using it and there's no doubt in my mind that some of the, I'm not sure if my training method is the reason I'm seeing the level of muscle growth.

[01:23:17] I just told you before the show, you asked me how my trainings are. I last time I could flex this hard. Was when I was on high doses of juice last time. I mean, I'm only, I'm only using this peptide for, in these doses for three, three weeks now. And, uh, and I, I will get photos taken in another couple of weeks to show people what's going on with me.

[01:23:41] Yeah. And my diet, my diet is crap right now. I'm getting enough protein, but I'm not eating the food. I got to clean my diet up. I owe it to bill Toko because I'm sure he's supposed to be doing my nutrition and. He put together a beautiful diet for me and I, I haven't done it. I'm eating, I'm eating protein bars.

[01:23:59] You know, I'm [01:24:00] eating ham, sliced ham, a half a pound of ham. I'm not eating, eating well right now, but all I can tell you is I'm getting stronger and I'm gaining muscle. And some of it is probably because of the way I'm training. Like I have to, I just told you, this is the last week I'm training with my. Um, segmented rep training because it's very difficult.

[01:24:23] It's very hard. Central nervous system is, is a bulleted. I mean, really hard with this. And I can't wait to just go back to 12, 10, eight, six, and four. I can't wait, but I have never, I've never added muscle this fast, except maybe when I was on high doses

[01:24:39] Coach Rob Regish: [01:24:39] of juice.

[01:24:39] Carl Lanore: [01:24:39] And I'm on my lowest dose of Testa. I'm doing two sub Q injections a week of 90 milligrams of testosterone.

[01:24:45] Right now I'm on the lowest dose of testosterone I've been on since I went on Tesla.

[01:24:52] Coach Rob Regish: [01:24:52] Well, uh, I've always said that if anything rivals the effects of anabolics, it would be peptides [01:25:00] for the simple reason, you know, they are linked of amino acids. Of which there are an infinite number of combinations. So if we can have a peptide that turns you Tam fear, we should have, we should have a peptide that grows Musk.

[01:25:18] Carl Lanore: [01:25:18] You do. And you're not going to hear about this anywhere else, but on human radio.

[01:25:23] Coach Rob Regish: [01:25:23] Cool.
