i use to be on a bulking diet where part of it was eating up to 12 eggs a day. Ive felt nothing but greatness, I felt amazing and did it for 2 months straight. I actually went from 78kg to 81.5kg in 2 months. Only downside is that i got so sick and tired of eating eggs every single day 😅
Six whole eggs every morning with 2 cod liver oil tabs for 20+ years... I am 40 now with heart rate of 39 Beats Per Min. at rest and a 29 inch waist. No problem.
@TJ P I dunno if he is or not but that kinda sounds like a recipe for disaster for your ldl cholesterol. I took fish oil almost everyday for a year to try and lower my triglycerides. Came back the following year and I had lowered my triglycerides but my ldl had risen almost 20 points since my last physical and I attributed it to it most likely being the fish oil (although OP said cod liver oil, maybe that's different I dunno) and with him saying he eats 6 whole eggs everyday, I dunno if that would be good for you in the long run? Everyone has got different genetics tho.
Such a wonderful interview. Jerry at his best, The late, great Ric Drasin knew exactly how to ask the incisive questions and then let the guest hold forth. We miss you Ric. Please keep up the fight Jerry. Priceless.
I'm from farm country and all these farmers wake up and eat eggs (in grease) with bacon, sausage every day. They're dying alright -- at the age of 80 or above!
Been eating 8-12 whole eggs every morning before I hit the gym for 12 years now. Nothing's wrong with me so far. The whole high cholesterol in egg yolks thing is a big fat lie imo.
It was all bs! There was never anything wrong with eggs unless it was salmonella or something. Same thing with coffee don't put all the s*** in your coffee and it's perfectly fine.
The whole cholesterol is bad is a lie its one of the reasons Alzheimer disease is such a thing nowadays and also if you active cholesterol is nothing but good for you
It's funny you talked about alcohol, and it destroying the muscle. So true! I drank like a fish on the weekends years ago. By Friday i was pumped up and vascular, but by Sunday all those gains were lost from Bing drinking. An older guy in the gym told us this would happen, we didn't believe him. I haven't drank in years now, and I'd like to say have fun once in a while but if you're serious about bodybuilding, you can not drink heavy for more than one night. My experience anyway.
Cholesterol is bad is a lie cholesterol is nothing but good for you when your active and overall healthy. Also eggs have more ldl cholesterol which remove rdl cholesterol out of the bloodstream so it doesnt even make a difference so you feeling better while eating meat and eggs and cholesterol is absoluty right
I come from a family that was largely into sports such as rugby, American football and martial arts. Hence, I was introduced to weight training when I barely started primary school by my uncle and brother. Contrary to what is said, weight training does not stunt growth if you start early. I also did my best to emulate my brother's diet program (he was an aspiring bodybuilder at the time) when I started hitting the gym.
Eating eggs for me does not increase cholesterol at all. Last year before I started my diet and workout routine I was only eating maybe 2 to 4 eggs a week. My cholesterol was 241. I increased eggs to three to four a day, but I only eat duck eggs which are twice as large as a regular egg. That’s between 21 and 28 eggs a week. My cholesterol this year was 241. Exactly the same.
Zabo was a big-time weed smoker. That's why he was so laid-back. Chong from Cheech and Chong worked out with the GE bodybuilders and said that he smoked with Zabo... and on occasion a certain Austrian governor joined in!
Love watching these two together and the hearing the old war stories! In my humble opinion professional body building is way too much about the right illegal juice even though steroids were used in the old days also.
p.s Always been into training but the walking is the thread that holds my fitness together. Used to do it for 6 hrs a day when I was student but still do a couple of miles a day today (I am talking about real walking, large strides and brisk like you have purpose). If you do enough walking it becomes as difficult as sitting down at rest.
Damn you Ric Drasin! You got me so obsessed with the golden era that I'm getting depressed due to the fact that I will never be a part of it. What do I do? Life is so precious and wonderful.
Is there a golden era in heaven? I will say hi to joe Weider, joe gold, mike mentzer, serge nubret, leroy Colbert, Larry scott jim morris, steeve reeves, and many other great bodybuilders of the good old days.
Ric I just started watching you and I love ur interviews.. I crack up watching you listen to some of these guy speak bc you look around...check out other stuff..and look like you're distracted... lol but I love it!!!!!!! great work. I LOVE EVERYTHING GOLDEN ERA.
Owned a bar for decades, drank five nights a week and lifted weights. Now I've gone two years without drinking because my wife is sick and quit (so I quit in solidarity). Ive noticed that lack of alcohol has only helped me in that I'm never hungover when I lift. Didn't make any other difference whatsoever with my strength, size, or endurance. Back when I drank I told people it didn't hurt my lifts, now that I quit I was hoping I was wrong, but, at least for me, I wasn't.
The reason they throw away yolks is coz that much amount of fat even if it's good won't go well with a high carb diet. High carbs is the foundation to get big while High fat is for lean building or cutting. So it's all about one's priorities.
Ric, I recently listened to your comments on leg workouts and i have two brand new knees from a surgery 3+ years ago. In my first post surgery office visit i asked my surgeon "Did you happen to see who stole my quadriceps?" -- Reason was, double knee replacements have you off BOTH legs for a while and the atrophy shocked me... Im a highrise steelworker and NEED to know "replacement knee safe" exercises... Thanks
So glad I heard you guys up Mike Mentzer. I have been on that his program for a year now and haven gotten some great results! No one believes it is possible but it is firmly rooted in science. Leroy Colbert, whom I HAD a healthy amount of respect for, absolutely tried to shit on Mike's character and training method. The gains are insane.
@@mikehito5226 everyone is different. For most naturals HIT wont allow for enough protein synthesis. Also most ppl who follow hit dont even follow it to a T. If you follow HIT training by yourself without a partner you can never reach that extreme all out failure that Dorian and Mike did so you arent even truly doing hit how it was intended.
Ric- I envy your life more, every video i watch of yours! (and i've watched almost all of yours) You speak the truth and know EXACTLY what people need to hear.(they need to listen!) You've inspired me to make workout videos of almost all of my workouts(already have several). Once i figure out how to load them on here...(my cousin put one up under her account already from when i was the Missouri Open Hvy Champion- BB - Jason Frye) Please look it up if you have a minute to do so.
6 eggs in the Am.. for years.. well. actually 4 egg whites, and 2 full eggs, I dont like full eggs. to rich for me, but to each there own.. Nice Vid Ric. at working listing to your vids. Peace .
Its hard to give any advice without seeing what you look like & what your diet is. What is your goal? If your goal is to get bigger then dont worry about putting on some fat. If your training naturally its not possible to put on muscle without gaining some fat. After you get as big as you want - cut your calories & start training to get cut. You maybe taking in more calories, way more than you need. High intensity cardio couple times a week.100 meter sprints are best & activate type II fibers.
I have to agree with the weed bit , I train more Intensely and get a great muscle connection after I've had a couple of puffs of weed and a strong coffee , works very well for me.
In his book education of a bodybuilder Arnold says they used to go out in the woods drink beer and lift weights for hours at a time. As for Steve Reeves of course you can train one month out of the year if you spend the other 11 flexing in front of a camera!
Ok, but I still think most people can tolerate eggs, and often heart (infarcts) come from combinations with an inflammation as well and also heritage plays a role.
You also need Choline to move fat out of the liver cell and into the blood. The liver cell converts alcohol and fructose into fat and then needs Choline to move the fat out into the blood stream. Without enough Choline fat will build up and you get fatty liver.
RIP Ric. One of a kind. Ty for the TH-cam show it was great.
Jerry is turning into my favorite guest! GREAT interveiw, TY RD!!!!
Broddi was here
He has a TH-cam channel that I watch a lot. It's awesome as loaded with info.

What's your height and weight? Still maintaining the heart rate and waistline?

Just curious
canadian farmers eat like this to with hashbrowns fried eggs etc

I agree
That's binge drinking though
Binge, look it up in Bing
I drank for the 13 months I tended bar. Lost a lot of size, and it came back quickly when I quit.
Jerry Brainum is a treasure trove of information. Awesome.
The more eggs i eat the better i feel .. same with red meat.. pure power and health
Cholesterol is bad is a lie cholesterol is nothing but good for you when your active and overall healthy. Also eggs have more ldl cholesterol which remove rdl cholesterol out of the bloodstream so it doesnt even make a difference so you feeling better while eating meat and eggs and cholesterol is absoluty right
love jerrys stories about the old days lol. Should get him on more and have him tell more stories.
I had never heard of Jerry before, but this was a great interview. Hope you have him back.
he has his own youtibe channel , alot of great useful information there. go check it out
@@DesMonDLee24 Also there's a recent post of his with "Golden Era Bookworm" channel. Short but good~
@@slomnim I'll check it out thanks
Ric drasin and Jerry brainum two of the best guys on TH-cam i miss ric very humble person rest in peace bro!

Wow this guy is really knows his stuff,just a wealth of infomation.
I agree. I've been doing 5-6 whole eggs every day for 5 years with no affect. And my family has a history of high cholesterol
Thanks, Ric. You and Jerry are like my two favorite uncles.
Jerry Brainum has so much information on what to take when weight training .. I could listen to him for hours
i love the end. ok thanks jerry. done. so casual and chill. "lets take a walk over" love it
I haven't seen Jerry in over 30years! He definitely knows what's up
Jerry is fantastic!!
Please more videos with him thanks Ric!

No worries, mate. My diet has mostly remained the same although I've recently started experimenting with other programs such as intermittent fasting.
What he is saying is very true. It's amazing how many people don't get this.
I always have 3 eggs and some Brazilian nuts about 3h before I get it on!

Look at all the old farmers who have been eating whole eggs with sausage and bacon every day, and are in their 80's and 90's.
StanBennet and look at all the ones that are dead in their 50’s and 60’s because of pesticides

RIP Ric. Even now you have educated me about alcohol and weekend binges. I won't be doing those anymore. Thanks pal.
Great video, very up-to-date information what comes to eggs & cholesterol.
Thanks guys!
9 year old content is gold ✅ in 2021 🔥✌️🙏💫

Lies. Alcoholic lies
Good info by Jerry. Love eggs and eat them whole. Great for muscle.
what about raw eggs and put it together with milk like a protein shake???
No, raw eggs are barely bioavailable
I miss you Ric. Your videos are awesome.
The reason they throw away yolks is coz that much amount of fat even if it's good won't go well with a high carb diet. High carbs is the foundation to get big while High fat is for lean building or cutting. So it's all about one's priorities.
spot on..learnt this in physiology.
Very cool

This is too good, keep producing!!!
Great reparte and jokes
Always bring Jerry on the show for a guest.
Jerry is fantastic. Amazing Guy he should be doing TRT It would help him. I think he studies a Lot but is Very conservative with him
Good thing his close friend,( you) knows that he should do trt.
You really care don't you?
That clears things up. Thanks for replying in a polite manner. Are you still eating 8-12 whole eggs everyday? All the best.

Jerry is one knowledgeable dude!
more Jerry Brainum videos pls
Very informative.
Hi Ric ,if possible sometime Jerry should share his view about methionine ,cancer and eggs correlation
Thanks Jerry. I love my eggs!
I agree. I only throw most of the yokes out because it is too rich.
Ric advise will live on
jerry's awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Weed can sometimes have the effect where it causes your tolerance to exercise stress to go up.
I imagine a heavy squat and eggs flying everywhere.
Does Jerry have a take on omega-3 enriched eggs? Are they beneficial or just marketing hype?
Arachidonic acid = builds muscle and the yolk is full of it.
True That!!
6 eggs in the Am.. for years.. well. actually 4 egg whites, and 2 full eggs, I dont like full eggs. to rich for me, but to each there own.. Nice Vid Ric. at working listing to your vids. Peace

As you age some people do not oxidizes cholesterol properly, have a blood test to see where you stand.

vince gironda says eat raw eggs what are your toughts on that jerry?
Christopher factory farmed eggs ? No way..it's not the 70s
I'm 52, and weed stimulated workouts are great! Great for after workout recoup as well.
No
Great stuff!
Yes but if You eat it with carbs like oatmeal wouldn't whites be better? They always say don't mix fat and carbs? And yolks contain fat.
Yes, serious cardio can lower your heart rate, mine is low 50's-- if you are 39 your Doctor will be proud
I have to agree with the weed bit , I train more Intensely and get a great muscle connection after I've had a couple of puffs of weed and a strong coffee , works very well for me.
