listen to jacked scientists those are the guys are going to tell you like these are the foods that are actually good for you these are the foods and almost everyone agrees Sugar's terrible for you okay I'll just have to come out swinging Joe Rogan no offense at all you're the man and my respect for you is super [Music] Mass hey folks Dr Mike here for RP strength I am a longtime professor of sport and exercise science am a competitive bodybuilder and a competitive Brazilian jiu-jitsu Grappler and today I will be reviewing the pharmaceutical nutritional and
training approaches of a the Mr Joe Rogan who is also a Brazilian Jitsu practitioner and I believe is a lot better than I am at it though he is not encumbered by the unathletic nature of being Jewish yeah that's right I said it I hope we don't get canceled for that let's see what Joe Rogan is up to and see if we can't learn some shit 3 2 1 Joe Rogan one of the things that I love about kettle bells is that it promotes functional strength it promotes the entire body moving as a unit and
that seems to apply very quickly to Athletics yeah cattle bells are pretty cool for that um I will say that almost everything kettle bells almost everything kettle bells do well barbells and dumbbells do better if you really like kettle bells how they make you feel how the movement is there's not a goddamn thing wrong with them but I would say like over indexing on kettle bells as a first order priority of trying to figure out your Fitness I would say uh barbells and dumbbells first also body weight movements push-ups pull-ups dips things like that are
unbelievable and also machines are great and all of these confer functional strength functional strength is this really interesting term which the more you look at it scientifically the less it means but it turns out that if you practice or play whatever sport you do whatever physical activity you do and you challenge all of the muscles of your body through insanely High deep stretch ranges of motion challenging them with heavy loads getting close to failure moving the weights quickly on the way up controlled on the way down then that really is kind of the 90% of
functional strength there's nothing more functional about a kettle bell than about than there is about a dumbbell or a barbell machines because they Auto stabilize you and you can sit down where you do them a little bit less functional but most of the function in machines is gained just because you're gaining that strength for a full range of mo and the muscle mass that comes with it if you want to actually be function if you actually want to function in the sport context you have to lift weights kind of in any way kettle bells dumbbells
free weights machines and then actually practice the sport so you can learn to use your new found muscle and strength in the ways that make you functional in that sport but if you want overall the best functional program and you want it really simple kind of nothing beats body weight barbells and maybe a dumbbell here or there kettle bells are cool but they're a little bit more of a limited tool there are many reasons why but that's one of them yeah and non-glamorous moves like Turkish getup Turkish getup may be the most glamorous move ever
invented in lifting it's entirely purposeless it looks like a waiter fell down and is still trying to make sure he doesn't spill the rice all over the place no offense no offense to anyone this is me spilling out my mind here the Turkish getup is like a parlor trick of lifting it's uh not very clear to exercise and Sport scientist what exactly which system it um is the limiting factor for Turkish getup uh the reality is it's probably your lateral ADT strength um and uh it's not even a good way to build lateral ADT strength
it just tests shoulder stability um and movements like deadlifts power cleans Etc I mean this is not even a comparison as far as effect which is like one of the very best moves for Jiu-Jitsu it's just phenomenal for your stability your core and your your ability to get out from under the bottom bottom positions it's a just a phenomenal work if you tell me my next comp compor I don't know anything about him can do a Turkish get up with 80 lbs or whatever I'm like that dope scary guy if you tell me my next
competitor can deadlift 600 lb for reps I'm running away because there's not as much Jitsu is going to work on him as is typically intended that's why we have weight classes in Jutsu that's why we have drug testing in Jutsu it's one of the reasons why Gordon Ryan beats living shed of everyone because he's just bigger and stronger in a way that Turkish getups cannot get you how do I say this without embarrassing myself I've got really really strong arms but when when I reach for stuff sometimes it slips away from me because I get
these my forearms just aren't that strong and so when I'm trying to Bent roll a lot of weight and get really strong and jacked for jiujitsu to go hurt people yeah my back's getting a good workout soore my shoulders and arms but then the workout stops because I lose my grip and this has been haunting me for years and you know what I finally did something about it and I feel like a new man and you know what that something is I purchased Versa grips what are Versa grips you say can't possibly be an adre
that literally makes Mike money no way no wait it's also that Versa grips legit no joke guys are unbelievable gripping tools that if you are limited on your pull-ups on your bent rows on your lateral raises by how much you can grip versus how much your other muscles can move you simply turn your Versa grips around on that bar or dumbbell and then youring hand will snap off before that vers grip lets go so if you want an awesome enhancement tool especially if you're Advanced especially if you're really strong especially if you get a lot
of grip work from other stuff Versa grips are really awesome we got a whole code for you to save money there's links in the description do that shit now back to our regular scheduling program yeah but the testosterone it's Scott what's this guy's name Joey what is he known for I've seen his face everywhere a comedian actor comedian and actor okay the the last video oh I got you that's right the last video we um reviewed was like the longevity shit the Brian Johnson longevity video and then I look at Joey Diaz's face and I'm
like that is not longevity no offense no offense yeah all jokes folks all jokes here I gotta got you side on this mother oh yeah you should I'm I'm failing all those tests yeah testosterone replacement therapy hormone replacement therapy I started doing all that when I was 40 yeah it it makes a big difference makes a big difference yeah uh trt is cool uh we have a whole video on this channel about should you use trt is trt right for you I would highly recommend you watch it because I think it's pretty informative we try
it anyway but the thing with trt is that it can be absolutely transformational if you need it but if you get your test levels back and they're totally normal you probably don't need it and one of two things will happen you'll take it you'll get all SS of nasty side effects and waste your money you'll have to inject yourself all the time for no reason or you'll take the trt and the injections are fine and everything's fine it's not a bother but kind of nothing will happen so why are you taking it trt is awesome
if you need it a lot of folks ask me about trt and I go okay so what were your testosterone levels when they were last measured and they're like yeah like you know like pretty average but I'm like what you mean but motherucker if they're pretty average bringing them up to average times two probably doesn't do a whole lot if they're very low bringing them up to average or Beyond is going to do wonders for you and many people hit what's called informally andropause when their natural testosterone production falls off in their late 30s and
early 40s and sometimes mid 40s and so Joe's timing for his trt is actually quite good so if you're you know really feeling low testosterone symptoms any time in life is good find to get checked for a test but it's really in your 40s and a little bit beyond that that you might start thinking trt is something to look into and then you go get that test level checked and talk to your doctor the key to doing it though is do it correctly you're supposed to go to a doctor that's going to test your blood
levels test your nutrient levels and adjust your diet first bullshit you go to the back of the Gold's Gym there's a guy named Phil there he looks kind of weird but he's cool trust me you ask for all his best shit you pay him whatever in cash and don't ever do alcohol swabs or fresh needles you just got to cut right to the Chase and do the dumbest shit in the world no wait wait no Joe's right the first thing that happens is they they want to find out how much you're sleeping how how how
stressed out you are what are you eating why the this is really important a lot of people say they need trt they come to the doctor or they just come to someone who knows what they're doing in the gym and go hey I think I need tt there may be a probability of two things one is what's causing all the problems in your life isn't low testosterone it's the fact that you're stressed out of your mind you barely sleep you eat like total shit you drink like a fish Etc if you simply cleaned up your
goddamn life you wouldn't need trt because there's nothing wrong with your testosterone level to begin with all the bad shit you're feeling all the bad health effects are from Life circumstances and if we put you on trt that's not going to fix shit second thing that can happen is your test levels might be low as measured but it's because you under sleeping like crazy you're super overstressed your diet is total shit Etc so if we can take care of all those things come back in a few months test your uh test your test levels uhuh
examine what your test levels are again and find you're well in normal range and no surprise you feel amazing trt is not a bandage for an open gaping wound it is an enhancement if you need it but a lot of times the bad stuff in people's lives isn't because they have low testosterone it's because they're awful at Living the rest of their life and sometimes their low testosterone is also caused by the fact that they have too much stress they sleep like shit they eat like shit and they're basically Booz hounds if you cut a
lot of that shit down substantially and improve your life you may not need trt if you do improve your life and they measure your test again and it's still low and you still feel a lot of those bad symptoms you'll feel way less once you clean up your life then they're like okay great then they give you a trt and then you're living your new best life super super awesome my workout I schedule every Sunday I schedule everything that I'm going to do during the week I say I have to do yoga two times this
week I have to lift weights three times this week I have to run twice this week and however I fit that in I fit that in that's a really good idea a lot of people have uh trouble sticking to exercise programs but when you ask them like okay what's your program they're like well it's kind of I don't know kind of varies and you're like do you even know what is on the agenda no Joe seems to be architecting his plan for the week ahead and then holding himself to making sure to checkbox all those
things if you need help with a plan that's architected not just a week ahead but four to 6 weeks ahead you might want to try the RP hypertrophy app the most effective muscle growth training app ever made get yours [Music] now if you really want to know like what's good for you and what's bad for you I always say listen to jacked scientists thanks Joe those are the guys I'm going to tell you like these are the foods that are actually good for you these are the foods and almost everyone agrees Sugar's terrible for you
okay I'll just have to come out swinging Joe Rogan no offense at all you're the man and my respect for you is at a super massive level how do I say this without coming off cocky good all for jokes I am almost certainly the most Jack scientist of all the people that Joe Rogan is talking about I would really like to see who's more Jack than me in that regard and almost all scientists say that sugar is totally fine being that it not bringing in a ton of excess calories and that's how sugar is bad
and also if you're eating a ton of processed garbage it doesn't really matter if it's processed garbage protein sugar or carbohydrate which is simple sugars and fats like it's all dog shit so if you're consuming sugar from relatively healthy sources and it's not an excess calories the almost unanimous consent in the actual research-based scientific community of people that study this kind of stuff is that sugar is totally fine so is protein so is fat what really matters is having them in moderation in a balance and making sure your calories are not excessive so that you're
lean and of a body weight that allows you to be healthy that that's really just about I don't know it's just true is what it is and I really am curious to see what Jack scientists he's talking about because again are they that jacked I don't know what the PE bounds had to do with it but yeah yeah and then you get into the more controversial areas of seed oils yeah I'll just say it right now seed oils are not Rial seeds are only controversial in a small Niche community of typically extremely right-wing folks that
seem to be really upset about seed oils for some reason um no offense to the right wi y'all are great don't kill me when the revolution happens uh seed oils no controversy if you look at the empirical literature and there's been a lot of it just go to pmet and you look at systematic reviews narrative reviews meta analyses any kind of comprehensive approach you're going to realize that they've kind of studied this more or less into the ground and there's not a goddamn thing wrong with seed oils they're totally fine and totally healthy in most
contexts now people will say well look like you know McDonald's french fried grease is made of seed oils yeah it is but it's got a couple other things in there like trans fats that aren't that great for you and it's the fact that each thing of fries is 900 calories and you have to have two of them because you can't stop eating that's the bad part not the seed oils part folks there's still more video to watch and more fun to be had and more things to learn I hope but there is an Extended Cut
of this video with runchy nasty shit we just couldn't show you on regular YouTube we have a members area for that that also has tons of other cool stuff it doesn't cost a ton of money but it's great value click around see if you like it I wanted to get a full breakdown of Joe's is that Joe Rogan yes is that me dude I get a lot of shit on my social media like oh my God it's Dana White like excuse me sir yes you do you think all bald people look the same I got
it it's parts of your brain that are missing no big deal I wanted to get a full breakdown of Joe's food program it's almost all meat huh lot of jokes there I'll shut up let's hear more about Joe's diet my entire day was like 95% elk started back on the carnivore diet like one of the first things that I noticed like almost immediately is that I had an extra gear verbally my energy levels are completely flat throughout the day there's no crashes there's no peaks in valleys yeah the good thing is a carnivore diet can
keep your energy levels relatively stable the bad thing is the carnivore diet uh how do I put this carbohydrates are the Undisputed forever king of performance n nutrition you want to perform at your best in grappling in lifting in running in doing whatever it is you do that takes lots of high-intensity effort and focus and a huge physical demand is no replacing cars the all the research is in all the athletes are almost unanimous carbohydrates are King so with a carnivore do you may have a steady stream of energy throughout the day but it won't
be your highest energy level that you're capable of perhaps another approach you guys can try definitely try that low carb approach it might work really well for you but also try to eat regular meals four meals a day for example have plenty of protein plenty of healthy fat because healthy fats actually all fats slow down the digestion and absorption of everything else including the proteins and carbs and make sure your carbs are relatively low glycemic have high fiber so veggies fruits and whole grains and not a ton of them in every single meal not like
900 gam of carbs in one meal or some shit like tons of pasta put you on your ass just a moderate amount of carbohydrate 50 75 grams per meal four times a day if you're like an adult-sized male or whatever you try that and all of a sudden you don't get Peaks and valleys anymore you just get hungry for your next meal you eat it and you feel great and you feel great for 5 hours and you eat your next meal when you're kind of a little running a lot energy because of this effect of
eating slower digesting carbohydrates paired with healthy fats and proteins you can get a higher level of daily energy and it's still really really consistent if you go straight carnivore the consistency is unmatchable but it's on average for most people going to be a lower level of energy you do Jiu-Jitsu matches you gas out faster there's just not as much oom uh no bueno all right folks that was really fun um again huge mega respect to Joe I could be wrong about everything I said I'm just sharing my uh my opinion I believe to be true
um Joe really gives a shit he really cares about his diet he tries really hard in his training and I will say that as far as perception is concerned on the internet YouTube land Joe is maybe one of the most open-minded people I have ever come across he'll talk to basically anyone and at least try to extract some wisdom from them give them really good questions and feedback and return but he's not just pretending he knows it all me I really do know it all which is nice nice no wait that's wrong I know almost
nothing Joe is the man if you want to try some lower carb shit do diligence give it a shot if you want to try some kettle bells they're sweet give them a shot if you want to try some more moderate high carb protocols you want to try barbells and dumbbells they're also fing sweet our Channel's all about that give everything a try see what works best for you and um let's take some inspiration from Mr Joe Rogan who's like 50 something how old is Joe Rogan Scott 56 years old and stilling crushing it Joe Rogan
you're the fucking man you guys are all awesome and uh see you guys next time all right that was sweet folks right here is a video that YouTube says you should click on because I think it makes YouTube a lot of money when you watch YouTube also it might make us money but I never see that money cuz Mr n the rpco won't let me have any anyway see you guys next time
