Show Notes:
[5:08] Is activation of Mtor and muscle building affecting my longevity.
- Focus on the quality of life instead of the quantity.
- Muscle mass and longevity aren’t mutually exclusive.
- Lean body mass and longevity are positively correlated.
- Practice various types of intermittent fasting.
- The fathers of physical culture usually lived into their 70’s.
- Die like you live: big and strong.
- Mtor and ampk are meant to be pulsed in the body (very similar to hormone release)
[15:54] Rapamycin reverses aging.
- Train fasted.
- Treat intermittent fasting like a microcosm of the famine principle found in Rob’s original Blueprint.
[25:33] When was the golden age of supplements and why?
- Early 90’s- Ultimate Orange, Dimethedrine-25, whey protein, met-rx meal replacement, and creatine.
- Late 90’s- Pat Arnold came out with Androstendione. Many pro-hormone transdermal formulas were greatly enhanced during this period.
- Carl was actually teaching people how to home brew transdermal pro-hormones.
- Methoxyisoflavone was released as a potent anabolic, perhaps due to an estrogenic nature.
[46:14] What is your short list of dangerous movements or movements that are a waste of time?
- The list really depends on your structure, muscle insertion points, lever length, etc.
- Upright rows.
- Fly motions.
- Cable crossover.
- Tricep kickbacks.
- Smith machine squats
- The smith machine in general.
- Squats and deadlifts if performed incorrectly.
- Heavy squats in a smith machine prevent the natural motion of your joints and levers due to the bar being locked into a straight vertical path.
[55:15] Do machine movements work as prime movements?
[56:15] What is your list of most underrated movements?
- Trap bar deadlifts- Your body is always in the center of the lift.
- Farmer’s walks.
- Top range rack pulls- requires you to co-contract every muscle in the body simultaneously.
- Neck movements.
- Machine pullovers.
- Sprints- especially with a weighted sled. Sprint until you can’t sprint anymore, drop the weight by half, sprint again, repeat the cycle.- This is a skill that most of today’s youth lack. They lack a spring in their step, an explosiveness.
