"This is correct, but association is not the same as causation." That is the key here. Probably hard for must of us to make the difference but there is a clear one. Even if TC and LDL-C might present when someone has a CVD doesn't make it the cause.

Increasing load on the bar as reps decline would be good? thanks crossfitters! : )

Champions Club Scaling Notes Sorry for the late post - away basketball game tonight. I'm sure nobody here can go to bed without knowing what scaling said workout well will cause them to do. Anyway... STIMULUS: Go back to January 31’s 1 rep max deadlift day to see notes on the stimulus. When scaling a max effort day, to me at least, the stimulus and approach should be the same regardless of movement or rep scheme. It should feel like you lifted something heavy. Period. This can be done either by 1) lifting something heavy, 2) going really slow on the way down and the way up, and 3) adding reps until fatigue kicks in. When you’re doing something new volume is needed to get the skill down. So ignore the rep scheme and try to spend about 45 seconds doing reps on each set. If you’re doing this thing as rx’d, then just know you’re probably less likely to hit a true 1 rep max because the sets of 5 and 3 should be near a max for those respective rep schemes. Maybe try to pick the heaviest number that you can do for 5 singles. GROUP: I’d like to talk about the difference between a competition max and a training max. In a competition, all bets are off; the weight needs to be lifted. In training there really should be zero tolerance for form deterioration, and your max will be lower than that of a competition. In the deadlift, the obvious one to look for is any change in the midline. Once you see it, any form of it, stop the athlete. If they can’t get into it in the first place, then try a sumo stance. It’s usually easier to get down from that position. WARMUP: Hip extension — work on neutral midline while hinging at the hip L-sit — because Coach said Handstand — coupled with deadlift last time, maybe there’s something there? Squat — the general movement pattern for a deadlift Jump rope - always KEY MATCHUP: your desire to look ahead vs. the sets of 3’s and 5’s SCALING THIS WELL WILL CAUSE ME TO: feel it more in my legs than my back GENERAL FEAR LEVEL (1=REST DAY, 10=PR-DRIVEN FGB): 7 as a coach, 6 as an athlete. More reps to watch helps correct form on the fly, and more reps also means les fun than a true 1 rep max. GENERAL EMASCULATING LEVEL (1=WHO DOES RING HSPU ANYWAY?, 10=THIS TEENAGE GIRL IS DEADLIFTING MORE THAN ME): 10. This teenage girl is deadlifting more than me.

I will have nearly everyone attempt this workout as prescribed, as long as sound mechanics are maintained. I will coach most of my experienced athletes to achieve near-max loads on the final set of 3 reps and the final set of 1 rep. For less experienced athletes, I will manage the loads so that there are always a few reps left in the tank. I will only modify the rep scheme if a special situation presents itself, today. For athletes that cannot maintain a safe position when pulling loads from the floor, I will consider having them perform the deadlifts with the load elevated on blocks or plates and have them complete very light-loaded or unloaded full range of motion deadlifts between sets.

Intended Stimulus . Heavy day! Today let's maximize total volume. This means we are not aiming for a PR, we are aiming to make each set as heavy as our mechanics will allow from the very first one to the last. This will guarantee that we move a $h1t-ton of weight when all the reps are added up, even though we might not hit the heaviest single we could. This means you should warm up well before you start, so that that first set of five is solid and heavy. Athletes familiar with this lift but not yet completely proficient can work sets of three instead of singles. Athletes new to the deadlift should work on drills to develop solid form. . Option 1 Deadlift 5-5-5-3-3-3-3-3-3 reps Option 2 5 sets 10 barbell good mornings 5 sets 10 slow descent KB deadlifts 5 sets 5/5 single leg deadlift Check out the videos at @dotcomscaled on instagram

Globo scale: as is. If your gym prohibits barbell deadlifts, sub dumbbell stiff legged deadlifts or progressively heavy rack pulls. But you really should find another gym (or join a box) if possible if this the case.
