I was happy to see this article. I quit academia two years ago to start freelance writing and speaking to help educate people about science rather than leave them prey to the Dr. Oz's of the world.


This article pointed out several important issues; one I would have liked to see is reference to the fact that many scientists themselves are calling to get rid of statistical analyses as we know it, citing that it is unreliable and too easy to manipulate (see this article as just one example of a reaction to the "movement:" https://www.the-scientist.com/news-opinion/drop-statistical-significance--scientists-say-65635). If the scientists themselves can't trust the statistics, why should you?


I do feel that this article has a specific audience though (CrossFitters may be a bit more proactive than the average person), which is important to reach, but we need to reach EVERYBODY. I agree that it is the article authors' responsibility to be clear and to teach, but the unfortunate truth is that their audience is not the average person. Many people -- even with the power of Google -- are going to be scared by all of the jargon that fills scientific articles. I read a primary literature article a few weeks ago for the first time in several months, and coming back to it with fresh eyes made me see why people don't even bother. We need to come up with a better way to help the general public understand science, and I don't believe that is in the primary literature itself. That has an audience, and it's not, nor should it be, the general public. Not to mention the issue of paywalls -- most people aren't going to be able to access a lot of the primary literature anyway.


The question is, what can we do to better educate the general public about science, and equip them with the tools they need to not get caught up in the hype? I don't think there is one clear answer to this. This article is on the right track, headed in the right direction. Bravo.

I really enjoyed reading this article. It gave a nice step-by-step analysis of a currently often-cited study, while also allowng us the freedom of utilizing common-sense, such as "Most of us think that red meat in a lettuce wrap may have different effects than beef Wellington."

Additionally, it pointed out the possible recall errors. Imagine that I asked you to tell me everything you ate this week? Unless you are fasting, you are likely going to make a number of omisions. And we have just learned, that "If there is significant error in the measurement ,,,, you would have to have a very strong RR to be convinced of an effect."

And who knew?: "An experimental scientific paper that has no pictures should be viewed with suspicion." I thought I just wasn't smart enough to tease out all the data in the tables.

INTENDED STIMULUS

.

This is here for the dragons out there! This should make you breathe fire. You will not be moving fast, but you will get a good number of rounds. High skill and lots of rounds does get pretty intense. Keep in mind a set of 5 strict muscle-ups is challenging and it will slow down most, but it should not slow you down to the point that it is taking you more than a minute doing them. On the other hand the number of pistols is meant to be very manageable, without the need to break. We want you to be able to get a healthy dose of rounds here, closer to ten than to five. Today scaling will be fundamental. If you did 190531, your notes will be your best guide on how to approach this for the muscle-ups. For the pistols, choose a scaling option that allows you to cycle the ten repetitions without having to break. It is totally fine if you scale too much, you will keep moving and get a lot of reps of good drills. If you scale too little, you will spend a lot of the time looking at the rings, and coming off the pistols with shitty mechanics. In case of doubt, aim for more scaling.

BREATHE FIRE!



OPTION 1

Complete as many rounds as possible in 15 minutes of:

5 box-assisted strict muscle-ups

10 single-leg squats, alternating



OPTION 2

Complete as many rounds as possible in 15 minutes of:

3 baby muscle-ups

3 toenail muscle-ups

10 toenail single-leg squats, alternating



OPTION 3

Complete as many rounds as possible in 15 minutes of:

3 jumping dips (make height challenging)

10 bench single-leg squats, alternating

Globo scale : if you have rings, do 10 strict chest to ring pullups with false grip, 10 strict ring dips, and 5 strict mu transitions with bands if you do not have strict ring muscleups. If you don't have rings, do 15 strict chest to bar pullups and 15 weighted bar dips per round. Scale from there. You can also sub strict bar muscleups (suggest working these if your strict ring muscleups are on point!)


For pistols do them as strict as possible, or consider weighted pistols. If you don't have pistols, do them to a box or bench, as a deep stepup on a box or bench, use bands in a squat rack, or sub 2/1 Bulgarian split squats.

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT:

Workouts like this with skilled movements are tough to do in short duration. Despite the change in direction of the media content, the main site is still programmed for the fittest humans on earth. Those mutants would get a pretty heavy breather on this thing. I, on the other hand, would get 2 rounds. So scaling down sometimes (usually, in my opinion) should mean adding to the workout, not subtracting. Either more modified reps, or more time so we can get more reps in.


I SHOULD TRY THIS RX’D IF: I can do… help me out here… 8 rounds as written? Not sure what’s realistic here for the firebreathers who have that mobility and strength combo. Oh, and this is assuming I can keep the knee from slamming too far forward on the pistol


ORGANIC SCALES:

Strength — take away the amrap and do a set number of rounds For Quality

Stamina — a bunch of pull-ups, a bunch of dips, a bunch of pistols all in a row

Endurance — 5 pull-ups, 5 dips, 15 squats, AMRAP in 15 minutes

Flexibility — as is, just hang out in the transition of the muscle-up for a beat


NEUROLOGICAL SCALES:

Coordination — kipping muscle-ups, rolling pistols (keep the foot straight and arch up/knee out)

Accuracy — make it 5/10 reps in a row for a set to count, start over if you fail a rep. extend the time cap if needed

Agility — coordination

Balance — as us, just take the shoes off for the pistol and keep the arch


GROUP VERSION: For Quality: 1:00 ring dip practice, 1:00 pistol practice, 8 rounds


WARMUP:

Push-up — muscle-up prep

Jump rope — always

Lunge — pistol prep

Hollow hold — midline work

[insert thing you suck at]


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL (1=REST DAY, 10=PR-DRIVEN FGB): 3. For quality is nice
