Rebuilding a good credit score can be very frustrating and usually takes up months or even years depending on how consistently you pay bills completely & on time. I used to be among these unfortunate categories until recently when I had this job interview. I was invited to attend by The Mosaic Company in Florida , and after a background-check by the company I was placed on hold because of my terrible credit report score .A 550 FICO score is considered very poor and generally won't get the best terms for loans and credit etc . Thanks to NEWHORIZONCREDIT1 who came to my rescue and performed their magic on my credit score report , now I can boast of a credit score of 790 . contact them at ( NEWHORIZONCREDIT1 AT gmail DOT com ) . Trust me they are reliable ! .

Pistols in lifting shoes. L Pull-up unbroken each round. Dips unbroken 4 rounds I think then it got hard quick: 2 sets, 3 sets, 4 sets, then 2’s and 1s at the end.


Last time 5 rounds plus 10 reps rx. I’ll take the increase in rounds and reps over the use of rings today!

Commented on: The Hyponatremia of Exercise, Part 10

I'm keeping an eye on a story I saw this morning in the news: 22-year-old Taylor Ceepa collapsed and died this weekend during the Cleveland Marathon. The medical examiner hasn't made an official statement on her cause of death yet. I hope this isn't another example of race organizers and medical professionals failing to heed the warnings and scientific evidence provided by Prof. Noakes for several decades now. I visited the website for the Cleveland Marathon, and it included resources from University Hospitals Sports Medicine with hydration recommendations for before, during, and after the race. The guidelines did not recommend that athletes drink to thirst. They recommended that athletes pre-hydrate 2 hours before and 20 minutes before the race, and that they consume "7 to 10 oz of fluid every 15 to 20 minutes, including sodium." They also noted that "For exercise lasting more than one hour, sports drinks are appropriate." This advice seems inappropriate. I hope it hasn't proved deadly.

Thanks Melissa. This advice is precisely that which Cynthia Lucero followed when she developed fatal EAHE in the 2002 Boston Marathon. She drank 40 oz of water/Gatorade during the 5 hours that she took to cover 21 miles. I describe this in detail in the opening chapter of my book Waterlogged. The advice here is also to drink 40 oz of fluid every hour. Why do sports medicine physicians still not understand that advising marathoners to drink ahead of thirst will cause deaths for which they should be held accountable? I researched this topic for 30 years and wrote Waterlogged as my attempt to stop these unnecessary deaths. But still 38 years after we described the world's first case, the condition still exists. This is an unacceptable failure of sports medicine education.

7 rounds 5 L sits.


Scaled:

1) L pull ups my legs were probably slightly less than parallel to the ground

2) My rings dips were 5 rx ring dips followed by 5 bench assisted ring dips. The last few rounds my last five 5 dips were mainly assisted/cheating...

3) I can't really pistol squat yet so I single legged squatted to an 8 inch stack of plates holding a 10 pound plate in front and using my extended leg to assist with balance.

Pistols: down to seated on 13" box

On both Scaled exercises, my challenge is near the bottom where I have the least strength; upper half is generally smooth and strong. Looking for suggestions/advice on how to improve strength/stability near the bottom of each. Lots of really smart people on this website - ideas?

Intended Stimulus



We did this workout for the first time one month ago. As we pointed out that time: this is Cindy's nerdier, more sophisticated, evil cousin. And just like with Cindy we want a hefty number of rounds, think 10+ rounds. That time we were learning it. Today, let's apply what we've learned. Did you overestimate your capacity on a given skill? Then keep the difficulty of that skill and today lower the number of reps. Did you underestimate your capacity? Then increase the number of reps, or push the pace a little today. Could you maintain good form on a given skill? If not, modify the movement today. If yes then find a way to make it even better today or scale it up. Was your mental game off that time? Then define what you need to focus on today to make your performance better. No matter the case apply what you have learned, that is called growing. If you're doing this for the first time check our post for 190423. Options below are modifications of the options we gave on 190423. They are intended as examples on how to improve your scaling from your previous attempt.



LET'S GROW!

.

Option 1 🆙 - Chelsea Version

EMOM for 20*

3 strict L pull-ups

6 ring dips

9 single-leg squats



*If you fall behind the clock, keep going for 20 minutes and see how many rounds you can complete.



.

Option 2

Complete as many rounds as possible in 16 minutes of:

4 strict banded L pull-ups

8 toenail dips

12 toenail single leg squats

This is a really “gymnasty” combination. The last time this workout was completed, the higher scores were over 10 rounds with a top score being over 13 rounds! When scaling this workout for my athletes, I will attempt to modify to a challenging variation that allows for at least 5 completed rounds. Here are some thoughts:


Strict L Pull-ups: The intended volume of reps accumulated for this movement is relatively high. Many of my athletes will need to modify this movement in order to maintain consistency and its strict nature. As a general guideline, if I have an athlete that does not have the capacity to complete 5-7 reps consecutively, I will most likely reduce the reps at some point. Beyond reducing the reps, I may have these athletes modify the movement to tuck L pull-ups or L pull-ups with one leg tucked and the other leg extended. For athletes that cannot perform L pull-ups, they will modify the movement to either band-assisted L pull-ups or a combination of band-assisted strict pull-ups with a 10-second L-hang after completion of the set. Further scaling will be done on an individual basis.


Ring Dip: Many of my athletes will need to modify this movement or reduce reps to keep the movement quality high and the range of motion legit. I will reduce reps for athletes that can perform dips but the volume is too demanding. For athletes that cannot perform dips, I will provide two main movement modifications for the day: option 1 will be a band-assisted dip , and option 2 will be to perform ring dips with legs straight and feet on the floor in front of the body. Easier modifications, such as a jumping dip or a box dip, as well as reducing reps, will be used on an individual basis.


Single-leg Squat: Like the other movements, I expect a relatively high volume of reps to accumulate and I expect many of my athletes to have to scale. For athletes that can perform single-leg squats, but the volume is too demanding, I will reduce reps and/or perform the single-leg squats to a low target. For athletes that cannot perform full range of motion single-leg squats, I will modify the movement to some sort of single-leg movement, per the athlete’s capacity. This could be simply elevating the heel or using a light load as counterbalance. Other options could be to perform single-leg squats on top of a box and potentially tapping the heel or toes to the floor on the descent. For those that cannot maintain balance on the working leg, a bulgarian split squat or a reverse lunge could be great options.

Here are some sample options:

1) For an athlete that has capacity with the movements, but the volume may be too high to maintain consistency and range of motion:

AMRAP 20 minutes of:

3 strict L pull-ups or 5 tuck L-pull-ups

6 Ring Dips

12 single-leg squats (potentially to a target that allows the athlete to lower the hips below the knee)


2) For an athlete that has experience but lacks capacity with the movements:

AMRAP 20 minutes of:

3-5 band assisted L pull-ups

6-10 band assisted ring dips

10-12 single-leg squats standing on top of a box


3) For athletes that need a more significant movement modifications:

AMRAP 15-20 minutes of:

3-5 strict band-assisted pull-ups + 0:05-0:10 tuck L-hang

5-8 ring dips with feet on floor and in front of the body (utilize a lower body position that allows for reps to be consistent)

12 bulgarian split squats or reverse lunges

Does 15 single leg squats mean 15 each leg for a total of 30 per round or is it just 15 total without regard to which leg you use?

Troy Work
May 19th, 2019 at 1:59 am

15 total. Typically you’ll alternate each leg so you’ll end up with 8 reps on one leg and 7 on the other each round.

Why are we so quick to believe that the body does not strive for homeostasis? And why are we so reluctant to believe that "the amount of sodium present in a sports drink such as Gatorade does not produce a greater effect on the blood sodium concentrations during exercise than does drinking just pure water." Drink water according to thirst and no other parameter.

Champions Club Scaling Notes:


Rant:

Workouts like this give us a good opportunity to practice on some skills that we are probably not good at, but we can also be limited by the rep scheme or time frame. It took me a long time to get over this, and I still sometimes limit myself to the exact numbers written out here. But as Coach says, the magic is in the movements. As long as we are practicing some progression of L-pull-ups, ring dips, and pistols and are breathing heavy to some degree, don't worry about the reps!
