Commented on: Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and the New Science of Hope
My wife was diagnosed of Parkinson’s Disease at age 61. She had severe calf pain, muscle pain, tremors, slurred speech, frequent falls, loss of balance, difficulty in getting up from sitting position. She was put on Senemet for 6 months and then Siferol was introduced and replaced the Senemet. During this time span she was also diagnosed with dementia. She started having hallucinations and lost touch with reality. Last year, our family doctor started her on Uine Health Centre PD-5 formula, 2 months into treatment she improved dramatically. At the end of the full treatment course, the disease is totally under control. No case of dementia, hallucination, weakness, muscle pain or tremors. My wife is strong again and has gone on with her daily activities as I share this experience. I’m surprised a lot of PWP haven’t heard of PD-5 formula. just google uinehealthcentre. com

The love of my life for the last 17 years was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease nearly 4 years ago, at age 52. He had a stooped posture, tremors, muscle stiffness, horrible driving skills, and slow movement. He was placed on Sinemet 50/200 at night for 7 months and then Sifrol and rotigotine were introduced which replaced the Sinemet but he had to stop due to side effects. He started having hallucinations, lost touch with reality. Suspecting it was the medications I took him off the Siferol (with the doctor’s knowledge) In March this year his primary physician suggested we started him on Natural Herbs Centre ( Naturalherbscentre. com ) Ayurveda Parkinson’s Protocol which eased his anxiety a bit, i’m happy to report this PD Ayurvedic treatment worked very effectively. His Parkinson’s is totally under control, he had a total decline in symptoms, the tremors, shaking, stiffness, slow movement and speech problems stopped. I can personally vouch for these remedy but you would probably need to decide what works best for you

20:48. Unable to run so...
10R of 24BJ @24" or 60 DU alternating rounds and 9 strict ring pulls each round. Totaling 120 BJ/300 du/90 pulls. The partitions allowed stricter form and harder sprints plus I wanted to get more practice on the box. Been a while until two or three days ago due to injury and I felt I needed it.

As rx'd, 15:25.
Hip did okay on the runs, seemed to loosen up as it went. I did not push it too much but tried to stay light and quick. Broke pull-ups into 3 sets of 10 for rounds 1 and 2, with minimal rest between sets. Last round, I felt good, went unbroken. Probably should have tried to have fewer breaks in early rounds.

my notes for next time: 2min, w/ running clock, end of r1 for assessment before continuing. Trying to realign hips, stuck since back injury. Good time since taking step back anyways. Had to stay around 31s/m or hip seized up. Back & knees weaker right now too. Patience; fixing neck sucked too but it got done.

Tried to go unbroken being that I can get 30+ pull-ups every round of Lynne. However I didn’t factor the rest time I take in Lynne and only got my first round unbroken and therefore hurting my last two rounds. But hey, you learn.

Although the overall volume of pull-ups is fairly high, I don’t think there should not be a ton of time spent on them due to having several minutes between sets. I actually expect to see many people do the pull-ups unbroken. Faster times for this workout will be under 15-minutes (I think some might be able to be done in around 13:00 if they excel at these 2 movements!) and I will strive to have all my athletes finish this workout in under 20-minutes. Here are some scaling thoughts:
Run: I expect the bulk of the time will be spent here. I will consider reducing the distance, for an athlete, if efforts will take longer than 5:00 or if I want to control volume for newer athletes. If running is not an option due to weather, injury, etc. I will modify the movement to another monostructural element such as an 800m row or a 1600m air bike.
Pull-ups: As mentioned above I don’t think there should be a ton of time spent here today due to having several minutes between efforts. I will likely reduce volume for athletes that cannot complete more than 10-15 reps unbroken or limit them to a 2-minute effort on each round. For athletes that cannot complete pull-ups, my initial modification will be to a jumping pull-up. I believe this option is a good choice today due to strict pull-ups being programmed a few days ago and the fact that I’d like to preserve a higher level of intensity on the pull-ups today. My second option will be a band assisted pull-up that allows for at least 10 reps to be completed unbroken. I will reduce reps as needed.

Champions Club Scaling Notes
RANT
Just a Workout.
PURPOSE
A burner for people good at these two, a lot of practice for those not. Also a reminder of how much one movement ties into another even they don't seem related
NEW TO CROSSFIT VERSION
Try 5 rounds of 200-400m run and 10-15 pull-ups. Goal is intensity, meaning you should be breathing heavy going into every pull-up set.
GROUP SCALE
as is, but I might scale the run in favor of keeping pull-ups. I would like to keep something that can be fast. Also some people can start on pull-ups if the space is needed
TRAINING SCALE
Scale the run so a fast pace can be maintained
PRACTICE SCALE
See if you can feel the same fall on the pull-ups as you can (or should) feel on the run.
INJURY SCALE
Pick one movement than will get you breathing heavy and combine it with max reps of any other movement (preferably something upper body). 3 rounds and goal is to emphasize the cardio piece.
WARMUP
Pistol - running position prep
Jump rope - running cadence prep
Hollow rock - pull-up prep
Handstand - spend some time overhead
[insert thing you suck at]
GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: I would normally say 7, but this could be an 8 if you have the capacity to go unbroken on pull-ups

Globo scale: if you can't run, sub 1000m row, 50 calorie assault/echo bike, or 40 burpees per round. If using a treadmill use a slight incline. For pullups sub 20 strict pullups or 50 inverted rows per round depending on equipment if a bar suitable for kipping isn't available. Inverted rows can be done on railings, a Smith machine, or rings/trx.

INTENDED STIMULUS
.
That sure is a lot of pull-ups, but let's think of this as a running workout. Quite often we treat running as the pacer, or as the hurdle: that thing you have to get done to get to all the other movements, the ones that matter. That's cool and all, but if your thing is functional movement, there are few things more functional than running. Sure, squatting will help you stand up from the toilette, but running will make you good at the thing itself: effing moving. Today let's think of this as a running workout, and let's keep the pull-ups as the pacer. This subtle change of mindset will guarantee we maintain a better pace and have a better performance. Most likely, you will have to break the pull-ups, do so from the beginning in a strategic manner. This way, you can focus on keeping a good speed on the run. Put yourself in a situation in which you really are in control of the non-moving time in the pull-ups and then have some oomph to push the runs. Choose a number of pull-ups that is large for your capacity but that you can complete with at most three breaks per round. Choose a distance in the run that you can complete in 4:00-4:30 per round. Aim to keep this workout under the 18-minute mark, and if you are feeling good, go for sub 15. If modifying the pull-ups today use a combination of a kip swing (no pull) and a "straight arms" ring row, this way you will practice the progressions for the kipping pull-up while keeping the metabolic demands high. Whatever you do today commit to this: run from the pull-up bar to the pull-bar.
3 rounds for time of:
800-m run
30 pull-ups
OPTION 1
3 rounds for time of:
640-m run
24 pull-ups
This is an excellent option for athletes that have some capacity will pull-ups but not a lot. If your max set of kipping pull-ups with awesome mechanics is between 5 and 12 pull-ups. This is for you. Your breaks in the bar will be a little longer, that's why we kept the distance on the run short. This way you can really push those runs, and have a lot more of power output.
OPTION 2
3 rounds for time of:
800-m run
15 kip swings
15 "straight arms" ring rows
This is a great option for athletes that have not developed solid kipping mechanics, but have good overall capacity. We already worked this week on volume of strict pulling, so today is a good day to focus on volume of dynamic pulling. If you are doing this, let that heart rate go up, you will be fine.
OPTION 3
3 rounds for time of:
640-m run
12 kip swings
12 "straight arms" ring rows
This is a solid option for athletes that tend to die on the run. It is not that your cardio is bad. If you are alive your cardio is good, it is quite often that you are training above its capacity. The reduction of volume here it is aimed to keep you moving at a good pace.

great workout. Went bullish on the run, and it paid. Thought I’d be closer to 15mins but forearms wore out on the kip practice and pulls. Kip practice was great for becoming more comfortable with the movement, though.
