Many thanks to the employees of CF-L1 in Frankfurt. The high competence around CrossFit was so inspiring.

Their work was very professional.
- Their presence and how they performed in front of the class.
- How they trained the courses and guided us to correct mistakes.
- The transfer of knowledge and the demonstration of mechanics were combined with a lot of humour and fun.

All this made the 2 days fly by very fast. It is great to spend time with such people.
Drake, Chad, Jaime, Nanne, Jens - thank you so much!

You cannot reverse Type 2 Diabetes with exercise alone. The intervention, first and foremost, requires carbohydrate restriction using a ketogenic diet (www.virtahealth.com). The main strength of combining the ketogenic diet with a fitness program like CrossFit is the optimization of the insulin sensitivity that rises with keto adaption in the process of diabetic reversal.

6月22-23号在珠海的L1培训让我对CrossFit有了全新的认识和更深入的理解，虽然已经过去了两天，但我的内心仍非常兴奋。非常感谢这次负责培训我们的两位教员孔老师和韩老师，孔老师简明的讲解，韩老师精确的示范，我更好地吸收了CrossFit的理念。还有感谢为我们提供培训场地的BetterMe，友善的两位馆长和餐吧的小哥，完美的服务，这一切都非常暖心。当然通过这次培训结识到来自国内各地的CF爱好者也是我的收获之一。最后再一次感谢在这两天里遇到的人和事，感谢！

While the mechanisms presented here are complex, the overall biological behavior is fairly simple. Our muscles are one of the best tools our body has to manage our blood glucose levels, and so to keep our need for insulin in check. When our muscles become less responsive to insulin, and less able to pull glucose out of the blood, more insulin will be required to effectively modulate our blood glucose levels - and so the spiral toward insulin resistance begins. If, as this article argues, exercise plays a specific role to short-circuit this progression (by either preventing the muscles from developing insulin resistance in the first place or reversing it once it has developed), it may be a particularly powerful tool to prevent or reverse progression toward metabolic disease. The questions that would follow, then, are (1) what sorts of exercise are the most effective tools to prevent / reverse muscular insulin resistance (dose & form) and (2) how great an impact can exercise have, both by itself and as a supplement to dietary changes? I expect we can answer most of these questions simply through practice, and observing what does and does not put a dent in these conditions.

As Russ noted above, these questions may be critically important. Both the dose and the form of exercise must matter, as well as the broader context in which that exercise is done; if "exercise" is entirely genericized (either to the extreme of referring to all activity by a single term, or through blunt abstraction simply to "minutes of movement" or something similar), we'll lump ineffective treatments in with effective ones. Per Russ's closing comments, we already know what might happen in this case, as individuals and organizations without patients' best interests at heart co-op a valuable treatment, and the perceived public health impact of the intervention drops. The best tool to protect against this may be better understanding of where the border between effective and ineffective intervention lie (even if that border is fuzzy or variable), and with it tools to direct patients toward the former and away from the latter, but I don't think that's something the current research can clearly provide.

L1 Training in Houston, Tx exceeded my expectations.  I was a little nervous because of the timing of the course because I was not at my best.  This remarkable group of redshirts made me feel at home and took care of me. They did a fantastic job breaking down everything where it is simple to understand.   The coaches were vigilant with the participants and made sure to accommodate their needs. Thank you so much!!!

13:03, subbed strict C2B for L-C2B, otherwise as written.

"why such a potent modulator of these conditions is not more commonly prescribed is perplexing and should be of utmost concern to medical health care professionals worldwide."

It's not that perplexing. The pharmaceutical industry has done a better job at marketing and lobbying drugs than the soda-exercise complex has done at marketing physical activity. For now.

Should, however, the current absence of activity presciption it be "of utmost concern?" The answer depends largely on what form activity prescription would take.

Would it follow the Coca-Cola / ACSM Exercise is Medicine plan? That is, would this new focus on doctor prescription of physical activity ignore nutrition and largely overlook intensity and functionality? If so, patients probably be better off without it. Or would this new paradigm recognize the fundamental importance of nutrition, and the value of actually training movements required in daily life.

More important, who would decide what form the activity would take? Would the doctors be able to recommend their own trainers, gyms and methods, based on their own experience, or would bureaucrats and highly-centralized authorities confine them, and their patients, to particular certain gyms and trainers (read: the ones associated with the most powerful lobbying forces).

And, how would doctors assess patient progress? Would clients be "incentivized" to wear unreliable devices such as Fitbits, violating their civil liberties for ineffective, if not downright iatrogenic, results (as Ezekiel Emanuel and others have suggested)? Or, would the physicians use actual fitness testing such as time taken to get off the ground, number of squat-to-stands performed in 20 seconds, etc.? 

The same questions largely apply to the push to involve nutrition in medicine. The devil remains in the details.

12:49 Rx. Did old school kipping pull-ups, not butterfly. Felt like that was more in line with the day.

您好！通过在珠海Better  Me场馆的两天L1课程里，我学到了什么叫CF，了解到里面的基本内容，基础训练和营养的摄入！在这里我非常感谢我们的导师孔老师和韩老师，谢谢他们在课程上给到我们学员的专业，也感谢Better Me的馆主，为我们提供一个良好的学习环境！谢谢您们

Here are some scaling thoughts and a couple possible scaled variations for this workout:
Pull-up Variations: Because the volume is reasonable and the rep scheme is manageable, I will challenge some of my experienced athletes to attempt this workout as prescribed, even if the intensity is relatively low. For athletes that can perform the movements but the volume is too high, I will reduce the reps being performed as prescribed and modify the movement for the remainder of the reps. For athletes that cannot perform the movements, I will attempt to utilize band assistance, to help them achieve the range of motion, at the prescribed number of reps. There may be instances that I need to modify the movement further and/or reduce reps. I will make these adjustments on an individual basis.

Overhead Pressing Series: This workout provides a nice opportunity to work on technique of complex movements in a fatigued state. I consider the load to be light and I expect many athletes will be able to complete these reps unbroken. The shoulder press will likely be the determining factor as to what loads are used for the remaining movements. I will utilize loads the allow the 10 shoulder presses to be completed in no more than 2 sets. 

The following workouts are examples of potential scaled options. Keep in mind, these workouts are just examples. Many people will need to make some alterations to these scaled variations to help achieve the stimulus of the workout that is best for them: 
Intermediate
5 L chest-to-bar pull-ups + 5 Band-assisted L chest-to-bar pull-ups
10 Shoulder presses
5 L pull-ups + 10 band-assisted L pull-ups
20 Push presses
10 Strict pull-ups + 10 band-assisted strict pull-ups
30 Push jerks
25 Kipping pull-ups 
*Use prescribed load or reduce load to complete each movement in 2 sets or less.

Novice
10 Chest to ring rows + 0:15 L hang (Use a tuck if needed)
10 Shoulder presses
10 Band-assisted strict pull-ups + 0:15 L hang (Use a tuck if needed)
15 Push presses
10 Band-assisted strict pull-ups 
20 Push jerks
15 Band-assisted kipping pull-ups
*Use a load that allows the reps of each movement to be completed in no more than 2 sets.

CFL1 course in Sydney was great. Our coaches Matt, Kate and Gavin delivered the course extremely well giving us all the knowledge needed and answering all our question. I was impressed by the way they spotted and corrected even the smallest flaws in our movements. Hopefully we'll be able to do the same with some practice. Awesome experience!!

What an amazing weekend! Our CFL1 training course was beyond my expectations! I was proud to be a part of such a great group of people! Thank you to Abi, Tegan, Donny, and Jason! A huge shoutout to Skyline CrossFit for allowing us to take over their box for the weekend! 

在珠海Better Me两天的L1培训学习里，非常感谢孔亮老师与韩凌老师的非常认真专业的讲解与教学，令我受益匪浅！

Our L1 coaches in Houston this weekend were amazing!!!! Abi, Jason, Tegan and Donny are absolutely phenomenal at their jobs. They did great at explaining and always made sure all of our questions were answered. It was savvyyyy ;)

Champions Club Scaling Notes

RANT: 
So I would like to use this platform to say that I did that tabata thruster workout earlier today (the one I gave a 6 to) and I actually did not finish it. I used 45-lbs. So yeah… my bad you guys!

I SHOULD TRY THIS RX’D IF: I have all the movements and I can keep track of the rep scheme

ORGANIC SCALES:
Strength — as is
Stamina — as is, unless you’re a freak and can do all the pulling movements before doing all of the pushing movements
Endurance — not sure yet, probably pick two of the movements and practice them in some kind of a team workout format (one partner runs while the other does the movement)
Flexibility — keep integrity of the L of the pull-up and the overhead position on presses at all costs; scale range of motion or load to achieve this

NEUROLOGICAL SCALES:
Coordination — connect your brain to your belly and don’t let it budge
Accuracy — this is probably where range of motion standards would come into play. Throw away the timer if needed
Agility — lighten up weight and see if you can speed through transition positions on presses. Add reps if needed.
Balance — push jerks give us a good opportunity to practice this, but kipping pull-ups even more. Balance means keeping your general center of mass in line with your support. Your hands are your support and your hips should always be right under them regardless of where you are on the movement.

GROUP VERSION:  leaning towards something on the Endurance scale. Either way, I’ll make sure to keep the rep scheme consistent instead of ascending.

WARMUP:
Literally anything from the legs-down.
Maybe toss the football a little bit.

GENERAL FEAR LEVEL (1=REST DAY, 10=PR-DRIVEN FGB):   again, haven’t done this one yet, but since muscular fatigue will be a big factor here, I’d go with a 5.

L1 Training in Houston TX is in the books.  Our 4 redshirts including Abi, Jason, Tegan, and Donny did an amazing job.   Their knowledge of CrossFit and delivery of the course was fantastic.  More impressive was watching them coach our class.  These individuals are true professionals at delivering real-time coaching advice to large groups in the CrossFit moment.  Thank you!

INTENDED STIMULUS
.
This is one of those pieces that remind you that gymnastics and weightlifting are perfectly valid disciplines to develop cardiovascular capacity. It just requires a good programmer and a willing athlete. We have both today. The ascending rep scheme combined with the decrease in strictness in the movements will guarantee that you ride that stamina threshold all the way from beginning to end. Make no mistake--this is still meant to be a highly intense piece. Consider the prescribed weight for a minute. For RX standards that is not heavy, not even after all the volume of pressing. That's because the idea is to really keep you going, flirting with muscle fatigue, but not with loss of capacity. When scaling today keep that in mind, especially on the pull-ups, where we want the same approach. You might not need to scale a lot but make sure that when you get to the set of 20 you have enough juice to kick it up a notch. In any case, try to preserve the progressive nature of the skill/rep scheme.
Technique learning is always better before the workout when your athlete can concentrate. However, today provides an excellent opportunity for new athletes to understand the difference between press, push press, and push jerk. In your brief, make sure you are drawing parallels between the different versions of pull-ups and the pressing movements. Also set your athletes up to pay attention to the relationship between the press, the push press, and the push jerk--they build on each other. Make sure they have a vertical drive, a stacked final overhead position, and a balanced jerk receiving position. If they have all three today, they will learn A LOT!

15 reverse grip PVC pass-throughs
15 jumping air squats

SPECIFIC WARM-UP

Pull-up variations
10 ring rows
10 kipping swings
3 sets of: 1 pull-up with right leg extended + 1 pull-up with left leg extended
3 sets of: 1 L pull-up + 1 L chest-to-bar pull-ups + 2 strict pull-ups +2 kipping pull-ups

Globo Scale:  As Rxed.  If there is no barbell, sub 45/30 lb dbs (If 50/35 lb dumbbells are all that are available cut the reps by a third- 7 shoulder press, 14 push press, 20 push jerks or just do it normally if you can move the weight efficiently). .   Bodyweight sub is Strict HSPU, HSPU, and piked hand release pushups (Again cutting the reps down due to the increased difficulty).

Scale down from here.  If in a globo gym with only a lat pulldown, do progressively lighter lat pulldowns with the same rep schema, and do 30 seconds of L sits after each set where the L pullups should be.
