Arnold Schwarzenegger Now Uses Tequila Or Schnapps To Mix In Protein Shakes

Arnold Schwarzenegger Now Uses Tequila Or Schnapps To Mix In Protein Shakes

Arnold Schwarzenegger says this recipe is superior to using yeast, which he did during his time as a bodybuilder.
Arnold Schwarzenegger remains an influential voice around the sport of bodybuilding after a career that dubbed him as the best to ever do it. However, this might not be something that fans of his will want to follow. Or maybe they will?
Schwarzenegger sat down for a Zoom interview with Insider and was able to discuss many topics around bodybuilding. It came up that Schwarzenegger now likes to mix his protein with different alcohols.
“I add a little bit of schnapps or tequila. Tequila is also good,” Schwarzenegger said.
In a previous interview with Men’s Health, Schwarzenegger shared a recipe that he likes to use for these shakes. It consists of almond milk, cherry juice, a banana, and a whole egg to go along with the protein powder.
“I sometimes put in the schnapps. I sometimes put in the tequila. It just gives it a little extra flavor,” Schwarzenegger said.

How Does This Compare To Protein Shakes Arnold Schwarzenegger Used Years Ago?
Arnold Schwarzenegger began drinking protein shakes at a young age. When he was 15, Schwarzenegger would use a mixer to combine milk, skimmed milk powder, honey, and yeast. He explained that this taste was not a good one and that he now prefers some alcohol mixed in.

Schwarzenegger is currently in Toronto filming a live-action TV series for Netflix entitled UTAP. On set, he has made these protein shakes for his crew and has gotten plenty of positive feedback.
“I’m making protein shakes now for the whole cast. My trailer becomes kind of like a bar where people come by for a protein drink.”
Arnold Schwarzenegger began his career as a teenager when he developed a love for fitness. He quickly built a championship physique that led him to seven Olympia titles. He is considered the greatest bodybuilder of all-time and remains active in the gym to this day.
At 74 years old, Schwarzenegger remains active in the gym and has even dabbled with plant-based diets. Protein shakes with alcohol might become the new craze if people begin taking Schwarzenegger’s word that it is as good as he says.

Straight Facts: Why You Need To Stop Taking Turkesterone Now!

Straight Facts: Why You Need To Stop Taking Turkesterone Now!

[embedded content]

Jerry Brainum breaks down the straight facts behind the popular supplement Turkesterone – and how it fails as an anabolic substance.
In the effort to be the best in the world, individuals will search high and low for the best way to get an edge over the competition. In bodybuilding this can take many forms including searching for the key secret workout plan, discovering a new posing trick, or finding a new supplement that increases gains. Ecdysteroids are a class of substance that are often marketed as a legally anabolic supplement. Most popular of these substances is Turkesterone. But does it really work? In our latest episode of Straight Facts, Jerry Brainum explains why Turkesterone fails as an anabolic substance.
In no secret in the bodybuilding world that anabolic steroids are used to increase muscle growth and recovery. But the truth of the matter is that steroids are illegal to use for recreational activity and often banned in most professional sports. So there will always be individuals looking for the next new substance that acts like steroids – but is legal. For example, many have turned to SARMs, which have a more of a grey area legally compared to steroids – at least in the United States.
This is also where Turkesterone comes in. Turkesterone is a legal supplement that can be purchased over the counter. It is part of a class of substances called Ecdysteroids and has gained popularity as an anabolic supplement by athletes over the past few decades. But does Turkesterone really work? Jerry Brainum turns to past studies – and a more recent study to break down the truth behind this controversial over the counter substance.
Is Turkesterone Anabolic?
The short answer is – no, Turkesterone shows no proven record of being anabolic. Jerry Brainum digs back through past studies on insects and rodents that showed promise for anabolic effects – but it has never been proven in human consumption. Up until recent, Turkesterone was never studied specifically – but many other Ecdysteroids have gone through trials that yielded little to no results.
So how did we get here? Why is this supplement seen as an anabolic option by athletes and bodybuilders? It started due to the chemical makeup behind Ecdysteroids. They contain a similar structure to testosterone. But just because the structure is similar – doesn’t mean the effects are. Which is why scientists took it to studies for proof. The ultimate human trials were disappointing for anyone hoping to find a healthy and legal way to boost muscle protein synthesis in a serious way.
Debunking The Myths Behind Turkesterone
There will be those who doubt the accuracy of past studies behind Ecdysteroids. For one, most studies do not focus on Turkesterone specifically. Perhaps that specific substance does work compared to others. This is why Jerry Brainum turns to a much more recent study that focus specifically on Turkesterone.
Ironically, this study was only done on rodents. While other past Ecdysteroid studies seemed to show some slight promise in rodents – this study found that the substance did not reach any anabolic pathway for the mice. Therefore – there was no way it could have an anabolic effect on muscle protein synthesis.
Deniers will also point out that these studies were not done on humans. Furthermore, the mice were not put through exercise. Perhaps this substance, like steroids, needs exercise to show results. Jerry Brainum debunks this line of thinking as well. He points to a 1966 study that proved once and for all that testosterone, even when not exercising, increased muscle mass. Yes, exercise is vital to reach more noticeable levels. But the important point is that anabolic substances will work with or without exercise. Turkesterone does not.
The Placebo Effect
So why do so many people still swear by Turkesterone if it has no proven effect? Why do so many people believe it works? Even Joe Rogan has given time on his podcast discussing with Andrew Huberman about Turkesterone. This is a big platform that can influence a lot of people.
Jerry Brainum believes that this is simply the placebo effect. In fact, he thinks for some people, Turkesterone really does help them increase muscle size. Not because of the actual chemical makeup of the substance but instead because of the psychological boost it gives users who think it works.
Brainum goes on to say that just because a person believes they saw results from the supplement, doesn’t mean that is proof. There are many factors to account for – which is why studies are done in the first place. Correlation does not equal causality.
Is Turkesterone bad for you? It doesn’t seem so. But Jerry Brainum is convinced after looking at the data – this supplement does not have an anabolic effect. It’s a waste of money and energy that can be better spent elsewhere.
Wrap Up
Ultimately, there is no damage being done if you take Turkesterone. But it won’t be helping your gains either beyond a possible placebo effect. You can watch Jerry Brainum go into detail and break down the facts behind Turkesterone in our latest episode of Straight Facts above.

Former 212 Olympia Champion Kamal Elgargni To Enter 2022 Tampa Pro and 2022 Texas Pro In Open Bodybuilding

Former 212 Olympia Champion Kamal Elgargni To Enter 2022 Tampa Pro and 2022 Texas Pro In Open Bodybuilding

Kamal Elgargni will take a step up in divisions when he competes as an Open bodybuilder.
Kamal Elgargni is just three years removed from his Olympia 212 title back in 2019. Now, he has announced that he will take a step up in divisions and compete in Men’s Open. Elgargni will try his luck during the 2022 Tampa Pro and 2022 Texas Pro.
Elgargni made the official announcement on Tuesday during an interview on a live video on the BP Sports Instagram account. 
“I feel really, really good and I’m excited with what I’m going to bring to the stage at both contests,” Elgargni said.
The Tampa Pro is scheduled to take place in Tampa on Aug. 6. The Texas Pro will take place one weeks later in Irving, TX on Aug. 12-13.

Can Kamal Elgargni Win In Men’s Open?
Kamal Elgargni shared that he currently weighs 224 pounds. There is not much time before the competitions begin and he did not reveal what weight he plans to enter. The full rosters for these events have not been released but they are usually shows with some elite competition.
This would not be the first time that a 212 competitor attempts to make the jump to Men’s Open. Of course, Shaun Clarida was able to make the switch and win the Legion Sports Fest back in October. He will now have a chance to compete at the Olympia as an Open bodybuilder. Clarida is also qualified in 212 but will not have the option to compete in both.
Derek Lunsford is looking like the next athlete that will officially make the jump. He is the reigning 212 Olympia champion but has put on tremendous size this offseason. It is unlikely he will make it back down to 212 and could be training for Men’s Open. Elgargni is another former 212 Olympia champion looking to find success at the next level.
Kamal Elgargni is qualified for the Olympia for the duration of his career since he is a past champion. It is unclear if he will attempt to make it back down to this eight before December — or if he plans to show up at the Olympia at all. Either way, he will have a chance to show what he can do at 50 years old.
Iain Valliere is the reigning champion at both the Texas Pro and Tampa Pro, having won both shows on back-to-back weekends. This is what Elgargni would be trying to accomplish with his return to the stage.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Says Bodybuilding Is “Too Competitive” With Size: ‘They’re Taking More And More Stuff, Sometimes It Kills People’

Arnold Schwarzenegger Says Bodybuilding Is “Too Competitive” With Size: ‘They’re Taking More And More Stuff, Sometimes It Kills People’

Arnold Schwarzenegger continues to speak out on the current state of bodybuilding.
Arnold Schwarzenegger has been successful in many avenues over the course of his life. It began when he made a name for himself on the bodybuilding stage and is still known as the best to ever do it. Recently, the seven-time Olympia champion has spoken out about some of the dangers in the sport. This includes an obsession with size and how dangerous it can be.
There has been many bodybuilding deaths over the last year that have hit the sport hard. Shawn Rhoden and George Peterson passed away suddenly at the end of 2021. Cedric McMillan also died in April due to heart complications. In a recent interview with Insider, Schwarzenegger claims that athletes are becoming “too obsessed” with size.
“They have taken it, in my opinion, too far. It has gotten too competitive. They’re gonna take more and more stuff that they’re not supposed to, and sometimes it kills people.”

Arnold Schwarzenegger Touches On Competitors Interest In “Size, Size, Size”
Arnold Schwarzenegger joined Insider over a Zoom call to discuss some topics in the sport. Schwarzenegger remains an influential voice around bodybuilding and continues to focus on his own health to this day.

Schwarzenegger became known for his freakish physique and incredible strength at a young age. Now, he explained how the weight continues to rise in the gym and competitors are doing more harm than good.
“The more extreme it gets and the more competitive the top athletes get, the more they are lifting weights that the body was not meant for,” Schwarzenegger said.
The use of steroids is obviously common in bodybuilding and compared with heavy weight, competitors are able to build championship physiques. But at what cost? This has been the discussion over the last year.
Arnold Schwarzenegger reiterated the health risks around the substances that are being taken.
“Sometimes they are taking drugs that are damaging for their health and are making them so strong that the tendons and bones were not meant for that weight, so then it gets into a really dangerous situation.”
Arnold Schwarzenegger made sure to state that there are plenty of dangers in other sports as well. He used skiing as an example. While it might be a recreational activity for some to do during a vacation, competitive skiing is fast-paced and could be dangerous at times.
Schwarzenegger also believes that the overall benefits of bodybuilding “have been tremendous” around the world. The interest in physical fitness and development of the industry has been huge over the last 50 years.
“There’s a gym in every hotel, every YMCA, every sports club, every university, every college, every high school, every police station, every fire station, every military base, I mean, everywhere.”

King Kamali Believes Derek Lunsford Would “Look Small” Against The Top Five In Open Bodybuilding

King Kamali Believes Derek Lunsford Would “Look Small” Against The Top Five In Open Bodybuilding

King Kamali weighed in on how Derek Lunsford would look compared to the other elite competitors in Men’s Open.
It has been weeks now since the conversation began about Derek Lunsford moving to Open bodybuilding. The speculation began when he appeared as a guest poser at the 2022 Pittsburgh Pro next to some of the elite competitors in Men’s Open. This made many believe that he could hold his own if he made the switch. King Kamali is not one of those believers when it comes to Lunsford against the top five.
Lunsford was able to get over the hump during the 2021 Olympia and take home the 212 title. He had been vying for this honor for years and was finally able to reach the pinnacle. Now, it seems as though he has put on more muscle mass this offseason. This has many in the sport doubting his chance at defending his title in 212 this year, including Olympia President Dan Solomon.
READ MORE: Dan Solomon Claims Derek Lunsford Might Not Be In Olympia Without Special Invitation
Derek Lunsford might need a special invitation to compete in Open bodybuilding at this year’s Olympia. Big Ramy received this invitation prior to his title in 2020. He did not earn enough qualification points to make it that way and was given an invitation by the committee. This might be the way that Lunsford needs to work it as well.
It is unknown if Lunsford will ultimately receive this invitation but there is still time. It is clear that he is training for Men’s Open but would he be able to sneak into the top five?

King Kamali Believes Derek Lunsford Would Be Behind Many Competitors 
Recently, Nick Walker joined Fouad Abiad on his podcast and discussed the status of Derek Lunsford. Walker finished fifth at the Olympia last year and believes he can climb the leaderboard further. When discussing Lunsford, Walker claimed that he might be able to make the top five. Walker even said that Lunsford could beat him in the future but not this year.
King Kamali went in depth about different competitors that would still finish ahead of Lunsford in Men’s Open.
“I’m just saying that there is going to be a few guys in trouble. So, he can’t beat Hadi. He can’t beat, I don’t think he can beat Ramy if Ramy is in shape. I don’t know, I don think he will beat Brandon if Brandon is in shape but I think he fares very well with all the other guys,” King Kamali explained.
King Kamali then used a quote from Dorian Yates to compare to Lunsford’s situation. Yates was told that if Nasser El Sonbaty built his back that he would lose. Yates responded and said “he’s been training for 18 years. What makes you think he’s going to get a back in one year?”
“Derek is a fantastic bodybuilder. He looks great. Great symmetry. He’s made some great improvements, okay?”
“When he stands next to the top five guys in the Open class of the Olympia, he’s king to look small.”
Where it stands right now, it seems as though Derek Lunsford moving to Men’s Open is not a case of if but when it will happen. When Lunsford decides to make the jump, there will be plenty of eyes on his first show at the next level.

Level Select CBD Immune Support Gummies Review

Level Select CBD Immune Support Gummies Review

Everything you need to know about Level Select CBD Immune Support Gummies
Product Overview 
It’s critical to have a strong immune system. A robust immune system will fight off diseases such as the common cold and flu. And give you the energy you need to keep building muscle and losing body fat. But, of course, if you’re sick, lifting weights will be challenging. And a weak immune system will cause fatigue and your workouts to suffer.
Strengthening your immune system from diet and exercise is great, but you can give your immune system an additional boost through quality supplements. And the correct supplement will not only support your immune system but will also provide additional support, such as increased pain relief and mental health benefits.
Most immune support supplements only contain vitamins and minerals like vitamin C. And although vitamin C is a critical nutrient for immune support, blending it with other vital ingredients like CBD and Turmeric works best. That’s why we recommend Level Select CBD Immune Support gummies. This product has the critical components for a robust immune system–CBD, Turmeric, and vitamin C.

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a natural chemical found in hemp, aka the marijuana plant, cannabis Sativa. This plant contains tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the ingredient that causes a psychoactive high. But it also contains CBD, which doesn’t cause any mind-altering effects. THC can have health benefits, but many people avoid THC due to its high and increased risks for side effects, such as anxiety and paranoia. Therefore, CBD is an excellent alternative since it has abundant benefits, including reducing the potential adverse effects of THC, like anxiety.

Vitamin C: Vitamin C is a powerful nutrient for increasing blood flow, which is excellent for cardiovascular health. This 2017 study also shows it provides immune support by aiding cellular functions of the innate and adaptive immune systems (4).
