Clarke Read

You are absolutely correct to note that this study contains many of the issues - both in its design and interpretation - that Kendrick points out. Independent of context, there wouldn't be a lot of scientific value to draw from it. (That is, the fact that SSB consumption correlated with increased mortality in this observational context is, by itself, not particularly compelling)
These results are interesting IN context. Going back to the original study (link 1), we see it was written by the same team, and draws from the same data source, that has heavily influenced many of our current nutritional guidelines, including those condemning fat intake and so pushing the population toward carb intake. (That is, it's from a team at Harvard School of Public Health that includes Frank Hu & Walt Willett and uses data from two of their massive epidemiological studies - the Nurses' Health Study and Health Professionals Follow-Up Study) This same team, using these same methods, are now finding sugar similarly worthy of restriction. Alice Lichtenstein, who has held major influence over mainstream dietary thinking for decades, argued this study was the "Last Nail in the Coffin for Sugar-Sweetened Beverages". (See link 2)
Of course, that doesn't mean we believe the finding at face value. The magnitude of the correlation between SSBs and mortality here is about the same magnitude as the one between meat consumption and mortality (see link 3) using the same dataset, and it's pretty apparent not many in or around the Crossfit Health community take that claim seriously. Were there no other evidence linking sugar intake to mortality, this one would be the same. And the direct interpretation in the featured article is overzealous.
But as Dr. Feinman noted in his recent piece, categorical condemnations of certain kinds of research can be unproductive. As much as WE don't believe this sort of research, it is an unfortunate reality that this study may do more to influence the thinking and action of major clinical bodies than dozens of studies making the same claim using more rigorous methods. And for that reason, it is interesting.
We don't feature this sort of research on Crossfit.com very often, and for good reason. On occasion, one merits being featured for reasons beyond its strict scientific merits. This is probably one of those cases.
This is a very interesting workout. At first glance, it seems like a good idea to sprint the row so there is less time required on the L-sits. The downside, with this approach, is that 500-m row sprints, at 100% effort, can take a while to recover from. After a little more thought, I will recommend 85-90% efforts. This should only cost 15-20 seconds, on each row effort, but allow for sustainability on subsequent rows as well as better performance on the L-sits.
Row: I will have nearly all athletes complete the row as prescribed today and scale the L-sits per their current capacity. I will scale the distance on an “as needed” basis.
L-sits: No matter how you pace this workout, you will be spending A LOT of time holding an L-sit. Even an individual that rows consistent 1:30 efforts will end up accumulating 6:00 of L-sits. I will likely end up scaling most of my athletes to help maintain quality movement. My main option will be to simply cut the L-sit time in half. For example, if you row 500-m in 2-minutes, an athlete can complete 1-minute of an L-sit instead of 2-minutes. The next option will be to prescribe a set time to accumulate after each row interval. For example, complete a 30-second L-sit after each row. I will modify athletes to a variation of an L-sit that they can hold for at least 15-seconds. The most common variations will be a tuck L-sit or an L-sit with one-leg extended and one-leg tucked, performed on an elevated surface (hands on boxes or parrallettes).

INTENDED STIMULUS
.
Learning day! You will learn a lot about your own capacity today. The first thing you'll notice by looking at this is that the harder you row, the less you will have to hold the L-sit. But going ALL out on the row might not be a very good idea. You know you will need to modulate your effort somewhat here so that you can actually do the L-sit. Finding that sweet spot will be the first cool lesson today. One thing you might not notice right away is how important the core is for rowing. Tension in your stroke starts at the core, not at the arms or legs. After the first L-sit, pay attention to that, it will make you a better rower. But this will also make this workout a lot harder. When scaling today, you will need to consider two aspects. First, modify the movement to an L-sit variation you own, and to something you can attach a standard to. For example do this on a pair of low boxes with a slight bend in the knee. And for your standard, have a pair of plates right under your feet so that if you touch them you have to break your set. In any case try to preserve the flat hand position, as if you were doing them from the floor. The second thing is to decrease the time. Working based on a percentage of the rowed time will keep the learning stimulus we are looking for, while allowing you to better match your capacity. Check out our scaling options below for ideas.
OPTION 1
4 rounds for time of:
500-m row
L-sit from the ground/boxes, accumulate 50% of the time you rowed
OPTION 2
4 rounds for time of:
400-m row
L-sit on the boxes, accumulate 33% of the time you rowed

So if I can row 500m in 2 minutes, do I then do as long of an L sit as I can in 2 mintues? Or do I do 2 minutes worth of L sits no matter how long it takes? (Like 4 sets of 30 seconds with 10 seconds rest in between? ) really confused with this...

Globo scale: if needed sub 400m run (track, outside or treadmill with slight incline slight incline) or 30 cal assault bike for the row.
For L sits; rings, paralletes, dip bars, a chair, or benches/boxes work, as well as hanging from a pullup bar or Rings.

Champions Club Scaling Notes
RANT:
I like how this is set up, similar to Nicole, because you can go at it from the 400m run perspective or the L-sit perspective. If I had to guess, I think the best bet would be to hit the run hard, but that is up to you. Also easy to do in a group. Kind of.
I SHOULD TRY THIS RX’D IF: I can run the 400s in under 2:30.
ORGANIC SCALES:
Strength — run slow, L-sit forever and ever
Stamina — run 1 mile, L-sit for as long as that mile takes (jeebus that sounds bad)
Endurance — run fast
Flexibility — keep the legs straight on the L-sit, even if it means breaking it up more
NEUROLOGICAL SCALES:
Coordination — do 800s on the run and split the number in half (at least) for L-sit; use the extra distance to go slow and pick one aspect of the Pose-Fall-Pull continuum to focus on.
Accuracy — even splits
Agility — do more rounds, sub some kind of gasser for the run and sub
Balance — l-sit on rings, focus on fall for the run
GROUP VERSION: I might make this a partner workout — one partner working against the other. If you and me are partners, you accumulate as many seconds in an L-sit in as long as it takes me to do the run then we alternate. Keep track of wins (whoever gets most seconds in L-sit). Do 3 rounds though.
WARMUP:
Running jump rope — always and running prep
Lunge — running prep
[insert thing you suck at]
[insert thing you suck at]
[insert thing you suck at]
GENERAL FEAR LEVEL (1=REST DAY, 10=PR-DRIVEN FGB): 7. This could be bad… I did the 3-round partner-style using a box and it sucked. I lost all 3 rounds by 3 seconds. I am was being a pansy.

Good looks Sebastien. We don't have a rower (that works) here at our gym, so every time I see rowing I automatically think about running. My bad.
Not sure how that would translate to a rowing distance, but the time frame would I think would be best is below that 2:30ish mark.

Yes that's the usual sub. Sometimes it's good to base it off time a little bit too, so that's why I don't think it's always the best distance to sub - especially on this workout where your time determines the duration of another exercise.
