Why Old School Bodybuilders Used Glandulars

[@johnkelley6278]

Great, Great, old school information. I took 100 dessicated liver , drink a dozen eggs every day in the 70's and was stronger than I ever was. Thanks for this important video!

[@GoldenEraBookworm]

Thanks for sharing...many don't understand the importance of these supplements for athletic performance

[@s1003232]

Question is : why is stronger healthier? Answer : it's not the same. But apparently muscle and strength is regarded proof of health. And although no muscles or strength are unhealthy, there is also a balance. I would suggest 75% of gym goers / fitness influencers / bodybuilders are on the unhealthy side with tons of excess calories the system has to convert / work on. And tons of stress on bones, nervous system.

Supplements alone are not enough for increasing T and keeping it high. You need a holistic approach. A lot of men today have suboptimal levels of testosterone; a lot less than their fathers or grandfathers had just 30-50 years ago. There are various reasons for this. One factor that is oftentimes neglected is endocrine disruptors in our environment (i.e., xenoestrogens, BPA, phthalates, triclosan, etc.), phytoestrogens in food (i.e., soy, which is present in almost all processed foods), and hypothyroidism (subclinical or autoimmune Hashimoto's disease). To increase testosterone levels naturally, including libido and erection quality, and reduce chronic inflammation: • Get enough daily sunlight. • Vitamin D3 (especially during the winter or if you live in a northern climate). • Zinc picolinate (20-40 mg per day). • Magnesium glycinate/citrate. • Resistance training (3-5 times per week for 45-90 minutes max). • Adequate neuromuscular recovery (e.g., don't overtrain). • Adequate (quality) sleep. • More healthy fats (monounsaturated and saturated fats from sources like grass-fed red meat, pasture-raised eggs, fatty fish, organic full-fat dairy, coconut fat, avocados, cocoa butter, certain nuts and seeds, etc.). • Increase dietary cholesterol intake through nutrient-dense, whole foods. Cholesterol is the building block of all steroid hormones, including androgens such as testosterone. • Manage stress. Do what you have to do to keep it under control (i.e., meditation, yoga, nature walks, relaxing music, massage/reflexology sessions, adaptogenic herbs, etc.). • Chronically elevated cortisol levels disrupt the HPT (hypothalamus-pituitary-testicles) axis and deplete your body of the very resources it needs to produce androgens like testosterone and DHT. • Eat enough quality calories (not all calories are the same!). • Avoid large or prolonged calorie deficits. • Eat adequate amounts of each macronutrient (protein, carbs, fats). All of them are important in their own way and serve specific physiological functions. Beneficial Supplements: • Shilajit • Ashwagandha • Maca • Taurine • L-Carnitine (increases androgen receptor density) • Creatine • Tongkat Ali • Fadogia Agrestis • Black Ginger • Pine pollen (contains natural androgens) • Boron (increases free testosterone) • DIM (natural anti-estrogen) "The Testosterone Advantage" by Timotheus Ray is a nice read on male health and hormone optimization.

[@GoldenEraBookworm]

I guess ypu missed the point of this video. The endocrine system in its totality is important for hypertrophy and overall health. Everyone talks about Testosterone optimisation...that information is everywhere. But few realise the importance of endocrine health. That is the point of this video.

[@22448824]

If you say so.

[@valerydesire4515]

Wow this is awesome thank you what is DIM

[@multishit6664]

Phytoestrogens are in potatoes and many foods including beans and legumes.. phytoestrogens in soy do not bind to alpha receptors. Research harder. Yes environmental factors are a main contributor.. but the elephant in the room is the gigatons of nano materials like polymer coated aluminum being dumped globally on us like roaches. Also our DNA is being altered through eugenics experiments and EMF. Pulsed wi-fi has permanently f'ed every man on earths semen forever. Permanent DNA alteration that will take 10 generations to reverse if we stopped it today. Good luck.. look up and dont believe a thing I have written.

[@multishit6664]

Shilajit is fulvic acid aka fertilizer with toxic heavy metals and minerals..hence why Canada has banned it. Boron is also toxic. DIM is not safe and can cause permanent endocrine disruption.

[@robby7025]

Much better info from you and your client than from the average influencer.

[@GoldenEraBookworm]

Thank you, 😂am trying to educate on a very neglected topic

[@TheDaddyNick]

I got my testosterone checked for the first time now at 34 years old. Im at 850ng/dl. Im completely natural. I supplement with beef liver and orchic glandular, other than that I eat very clean and high quality. Im even about 30lbs overweight, which negatively effects testosterone. I just started training again after not lifting since I was 17. I train about 6-7x week, between weight training and I started a cardio regimen with a lot of running and have been enjoying it a lot

[@GoldenEraBookworm]

That is fantastic! Well done. I find that too many people choose TRT way too soon. Too many people don't ever achieve their natural potential because they do not know how to train. Understanding nutrition and optimal training is key. Most people will never need to take steroids in their life, they just need to learn to eat and supplement correctly and to train optimally. Online coaching available at www.goldenerabookworm.com

[@TheDaddyNick]

@GoldenEraBookworm I completely agree. Anyone can tank their testosterone on paper to justify TRT. Its become a shortcut, not a medically necessary treatment route. I avoid toxins, no phone in pocket, have a healthy circadian rhythm, est 100% clean and balanced, and even with being overweight some, maintain a Testosterone level some people dont even get WITH TRT.

[@robby7025]

My free total testosterone was measured at 450. I was on a cut. 1800-2000 kcal/day 29 yo 178cm tall 72.5 kg at time of measurement. I d ont eat organ meat. Willing to try natural supplements and get checked again.

[@TheDaddyNick]

@TommyMostMuscularNatty I totally agree bro, im aware of its effects on testosterone as well! Thanks!

[@randalgordon8822]

What brand do you use

[@SPASEINC]

Excellent information. Great video as always 🙏

[@jasons8756]

What is the most effective and comprehensive glandular supplement product I can get in the United States?

[@GoldenEraBookworm]

NutriEst has advanced complete organs, it will soon be available in the US. Don't buy US organ supplements...they are gull of chemicals, hormones etc.

[@reamartin6458]

Really nice work, if I could only choose three or four supplements, which of those would you recommend? thanks so much :)

[@s1003232]

Meat, carbs, dairy. If it's in pills or powders, it is not natural to me.

[@DevinCooper-p1h]

Definitely felt better even if slightly, when I started supplementing with Ancient Nutrition’s male performance dessicated organ blend. I only take it to supplement with my diet, what I may not get through my foods.

[@larrydowling]

Carlos if you are going to promote natural BODYBUILDING,then why do you put up PHOTOS .of bodybuilders who use ,and have used Anabolics in their past.i don't get it

[@brianbadonde8700]

I know shows juice monkeys then promotes natural bodybuilding, those guys looked like that because of drugs and genetics not some sketchy supplement that probably doesn't even contain what it claims

[@larrydowling]

ITS EITHER ANABOLIC ,or NATURAL,lets not confuse this discussion,we need Carlos to explain himself here.

[@GodsSon_Fitness]

I’m a natural bodybuilder NEVER used steroids n they definitely have an effect especially on strength 👌🏾

[@shannonmonroe5873]

One of the biggest problems you mentioned about natural competitive bodybuilders is low testosterone due to the rigid diet. Fats are essential since cholesterol plays such an important role in testosterone production.

[@zerrodefex]

Yeah low-fat diets sabotage men big time. Also a lot of people don't get enough choline in their diets either.

i like liver kings glandulars they are pretty damn good when i can get them at discount of course

[@knightstemplar3799]

It’s is better to get any other brand or better yet ones that are grass fed with inexpensive labels since they are a lot less expensive , and can be comparable quality , liver kings brand are extremely expensive, while being good in quality it doesn’t justify spending that much , good luck

[@zerrodefex]

And Liver King is juiced AF, he had to come out and admit it after his emails were leaked last year.

[@takusungjung3894]

@@zerrodefex wasnt talking about steroids dummy!!!U make it look like the liver King made this crap up.He didnt make up anything he just made glandulars popular!!!I take his glandulars when i can find them on discount on ebay and i have great results.Ever heard of standard process???thats another glandular company.

I have taken testosterone supplements and animal organ extract capsules and neither did anything for me. The animal organ capsules gave me terrible bowels. No change in energy or growth

[@GoldenEraBookworm]

Were they from the US?

[@porcupinecraig]

Same here. I took Beverly liver tablets. No result. I don't doubt that they are nutritious, but no result for training or muscle size. Nothing.

[@mikerude5073]

In my experience, what works isn't an a pill. Put effort into lifting. It doesn't matter if volume or HIT, but I prefer volume as I'm 43 and it doesn't beat my joints up. Just be consistent. Eat a varied diet. Get enough sleep. Avoid processed junk 95% of the time. Do some form of regular cardio. Avoid pron. Your testosterone level will be as good as it's going to be.

[@rob-boticscalisthenicshome6355]

Glandulars are so important. Thank you for bringing this issue to the forefront. Glandular foods that we don't eat anymore were responsible for keeping us healthy in the past. major deficiencies in the foods that protect the endocrine system are just missing completely in the modern diet leading to all the metabolic deseases that we suffer from because we don't feed the endocrine system

[@s1003232]

Yes of course, its not the processed foods that came up. It's the healthy things that became unhealthy.😂 Quite a funny thing that seems to be popular.

[@tufflion3344]

Ask a lion or any wild beast when it captures it's prey and begins to eat it, they always go for the the organs, kidney, liver, heart first, very bloody rich and nutritious.

[@przemysawgolonka5353]

These organ supplements may actually make sense, at least for some people, since Vince used these products for decades, there must be something to it. Now there is simply a different fashion when it comes to supplementation, and the supplement market promotes products that are cheap to produce, easy to sell and promote. Often of poor quality, unfortunately. Returning to organs/prebiotics, old medicine was full of this type of prepapates, extracts, extracts from animal raw materials, this is the beginning/first half of the 20th century and earlier. Later, chemistry and pharmaceutical companies gradually cut these preparations out of pharmacies and the market. Currently, there are still a few left, including for injections, the Russians are good at these things, they have their own preparations that stimulate, for example, the thymus. There are German/French preparations for subcutaneous injection that stimulate, for example, the thymus, testicular extracts, and other organs. It is biological medicine, which works on the principle of stimulating one's own body with precisely selected doses of preparations, usually small doses, administered cyclically - a vast subject, a lot of writing. Swiss rejuvenation clinics commonly use this type of preparations for big money. Carlos, you should have heard about it, such a fashion among rich people has been going on for a long time - for rejuvenation. Of course, you can do the same for a fraction of the amounts that these clinics and doctors charge :-) Best regards

[@s1003232]

Harsh truth : i always regarded Steve Reeves as role model. Until I watched interview where he was around 70 years old. The "health guru" sounded and looked tyred and definitely not special. That made me wonder : how healthy is putting all that stress on your system? Eating 5000 calories a day? And he died at a pretty normal, even a bit early 74 years of age. Should make people think different...

[@porcupinecraig]

You have a point. Steve really thought he was going to live to be 100 just by eating fresh fruits from his fields. I think Steve just had otherwordly genetics. I don't know if he used any gear but it certainly is possible. Either way, he had an amazing structure that nobody else can get, and his body responded to his training. I read some of his books and they are interesting, but kind of useless. Training like Reeves will not make anyone look remotely like him. Just ask yourself, is there anyone out there anywhere that looks anything like Reeves?

[@robby7025]

​​@@porcupinecraighe used to stretch his scapulae with special stretching exercises. Creating these wide shoulders he had. He already looked amazing at age 18. When steve was young steroids didnt exist yet.

[@kipcarbone1730]

The quality of the glandular really matters, I would be curious about this brand you are promoting. Liver Kings stuff is garbage! Really does nothing. It’s really just getting nutrients you need.

[@ourinvisibleenemies7779]

Like BCAA's just about any supplements I took including dessicated liver tabs in the late 80s (86-89) did nothing - i.e., jack shit. This is just typical recycling of previous fads, like movie.remakes that always are good for making money off newer younger generations - war of the worlds, invasion of body snatchers, twilight zone, you get the point. Older people say I liked the original and brainiacs say I preferred the book lol😊😊

[@s1003232]

As Jack Lalanne would say : if it's men made, don't eat it. Those supplements are in my opinion totally man made.

[@brianbadonde8700]

don't expect any change in physique from buying these expensive supplements, if you want to eat liver, heart, etc fine they're very nutritious and cheap but will not change the appearance of your body in any way

[@joeys_detailing]

The idea of supplementing is to take them in addition to a good diet and training regiment to boost the results. No supplement by itself will change how you look at all.

[@brianbadonde8700]

@@joeys_detailing they don't boost the results, there's no difference between training and taking them and not taking them, complete waste of money

[@joeys_detailing]

@@brianbadonde8700 and you’re saying this based on what exactly? There is evidence that glandulars can effect hormones, so unless you have some basis for saying that they have no effect then you’re just blowing smoke

Just found 2 peer reviewed articles that show glandular tissue consumption is effective. You appear not muscular and not based. “Journal of Breastfeeding Biology,” and “Neurological Research and Therapy.” Go check

Who remembers Hot Stuff? There were many knock-offs. It had every known gland in the formula . Unfortunately, just a lot of hype. Like many supplements, it came and went.

First batch tested positive for oral steroids..made in a church in FL. Major League ball player claimed it was why he failed his drug test lol..he was on gear. They still sell hotstuff to this day with a similar formula. It does have a stimulating effect even with the current formula but is overpriced.

Do you actually believe all these guys were drug-free? Arnold is also very anti-steroids.

Supplement use means not real natty for me. I don't do supplements, only food. Not even protein powder. It's insane that people see all that stuff as normal or healthy. Heavy lifting is putting your body under loads it may be capable of, but that doesn't mean it's build for it. The fact you "need" extra stuff to supplement / repair that damage, should ring a bell.
