Muscle, Organ Meat, and Bodybuilding with Ashleigh VanHouten

Decoding Superhuman

Skeptical on Organ Meat? Ashleigh and I talk about the dark sides of bodybuilding and the benefits of organ meats and the impact of the carnivore diet (including carnivore fasting). The Muscle Maven’s book “It Takes Guts” provides a great path to enjoying and incorporating organ meat into your diet.

CAR.O.L

You don’t have time for that 45 minute jog.

You need something fast, efficient, and leaves you wanting more.

My favorite tool for this is the CAR.O.L. She is a life-changing bike, that provides you all the endurance you need in two 20 second bursts.

Yes, you read that right.

That’s 40 seconds of max-effort, including the warm-up and cool-downs, you get a kick-ass workout in 8 minutes and 40 seconds.

The CAR.O.L is a resistance bike powered by artificial intelligence, which personalizes and optimizes the resistance, so you hit your maximum intensity levels and maximize glycogen depletion every single time.

The proof is really in the pudding. CAR.O.L’s effectiveness was independently verified by the American Council on Exercise. I take the CAR.O.L for a spin regularly and she always kicks my ass.

If you have limited time and want a kick ass workout, which basically everyone that listens to this show does, use the code DECODING150 for a big discount, head over to CarolfitAI.com to secure yours.

BStrong

I’ve been fascinated by blood flow restriction training for a very long time. B Strong made great innovations on this technology.

I use it almost every day: high reps, low number of sets, a few exercises. In 20 minutes, I have a fantastic workout which is triggering an anabolic response.

If you want to get your B Strong blood flow restriction device, head on over to https://bstrong.training/ and use the code BOOMER, and you’re going to get yourself 10% off.
