Acevedo's SLIPS to the best of my ability. Couldn't manage the pirouette but the rest was ok. Lots of inversion. Practiced transition from tuck to plank to finish.

DL 5x100kg. Last 10's were 95x1+100x4 almost 2 years ago.

I read that book too. I'll always remember BDNF as "Miracle-Gro for the brain". I've recommended Spark to lots of people. It covers the impact of exercise on so many different mental disorders from anxiety and depression, addiction, ADHD, aging... Really encouraging info, albeit with a bias towards endurance exercise. In fairness, the vast majority of research employs cardio training.

Slips 20 mins since carona I put on 20 lbs due to more grains and more driving. L sits got more tough but still killed inversions 4 minute hand stand. Then 3 minute break into deadlifts 155-185-205-225-270-305-335 3 min sets in-between. I need another set of bumpers. I made up for a lack of weight in sets as well as keeping sets unbroken!👌

I agree diet and exercise have a huge impact. However to say restricting carbs and calories made the difference isn't a legitimate conclusion. Positive changes could have been caused simply by cutting out processed foods, eating a clean diet and exercise.

The study design attempted to parse out the effects of exercise, to see if the effect was additive. And it was. BDNF levels increased by 20% from the diet alone and 38% from exercise + diet.


Your questions are valid on the diet, though. Was it the carbohydrate restriction, the caloric restriction or the elimination of processed foods? They suggested based on previous study results that carbohydrate restriction led to a reduction in calories. Keep in mind, they were eating ad libitum. The dietary interventions was described as:

"1) unlimited amounts of unprocessed lean meat, fish, eggs, leafy and cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, fruit, and nuts, 2) moderate amounts of nuts, dried fruit, potatoes (<1 medium-sized/d), and wine (<1 glass/d), and 3) devoid of cereal grains, dairy, beans, legumes, refined fats, bakery items, soft drinks, beer, extra salt and sugar. The goal for macronutrient intake was 25, 60, 15% for protein, fat, and carbohydrate, respectively, with CHO remaining under 50 g/d. No calorie parameters were specified."


To answer your questions, there would have to be further studies with a group consuming processed foods at the same calories/macros. That would be interesting to see if it's the carb restriction or the processed food restriction. I'd expect both are beneficial and additive.

5x10 deadlifts will be sure to light you up if the correct loads are used. Compared to a classic heavy day where the sets are 5 reps or less, this workout will create a bit more fatigue. Don’t hesitate to reduce the loads on the final sets to keep mechanics sound. Here are some other thoughts on this workout:


Deadlifts: Most athletes can attempt this workout as written and use loads that allow for sound mechanics. I recommend looking at the loads used on the April 14 deadlift session to assist with taking out some of the guess work as to what weight you should start with. A general guideline could also be to start with 65-70% of a 1-rep max. For athletes that cannot maintain a safe position, when pulling loads from the floor, I will consider having them perform the deadlifts with the load elevated or perform a sumo deadlift. 


Minimal Equipment: As the description suggests, use any loaded heavy object and alter the rep scheme to make each set difficult. If the loads you have available are not heavy, consider performing a single leg deadlift or a single leg backpack good morning for 10 reps each leg to increase the difficulty.

Coaching notes:


This is a workout program that works with low intensity SLIP from gymnastic in “For Completion” template and heavy weight from weightlifting in “as heavy as possible” template.

The purpose of the exercise is to perform the heaviest resistance in 10 repetitions. Resistance must be selected so that it is at least 80 percent of an athlete’s one repetition maximum. In this exercise, the amount of resistance should be progressively increased per set.

The reps selected so that challenges both strength and muscular endurance. The 10 reps are appropriate reps for increase the strength and hypertrophy, simultaneously. Athletes should rest 3 to 5 minutes between sets.

The trainer should observe the techniques of movement throughout the exercise and correct any mistakes at rest.

This exercise completely challenges the lower trunk muscles.

Athletes in this exercise can strive to maximize their maximum strength.

This WOD takes about ≈ 40 min. In the SLIP part, athletes just practice for 20 min, without recording. However, Athletes must strive to do their best for perform deadlift and should rest 3 to 5 minutes between sets.

Strength and muscular endurance plays a major role in this exercise. Furthermore, flexibility, balance and coordination are challenged in first part of WOD.

The aerobic system is a dominant energy pathway in first part of this exercise program. Furthermore, 10 repetitions per set will make use of the lactic acid energy system in second part.


Train hard and challenge your body. Enjoy it ;)

GOOD LUCK

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

I always think on how the SLIPS can be used as skill transfers to the main lift. In this case, the L-sit is a great way to practice strength in the transition position of the deadlift which, coincidentally, is the most difficult: getting the thing the first few inches off the ground. The scales are a great way to practice keeping the pressure even in the feet as your hips move in and out of flexion. Planks give us a chance to 1) practice bracing and 2) practice being able to keep that brace while we're breathing - which might be good in case, you know, we are asked to do 10 heavy reps in a row.


MAIN DECISION

Does my form allow me to go 10 reps at a heavy weight?


NEW TO CROSSFIT SCALE

AMRAP in 20 minutes of:

15 deadlifts

1:00 plank hold


WHAT ABOUT THE MOVEMENT

Deadlift - squatting, external load, high demand on the midline, midrange with the arms


WHAT ABOUT THE REPS

Definitely not the number of reps you want to see for a max effort day


LEARN TO COOK

New to the movement = more reps at really light weights. If you want to turn this into a regular workout day, look to combine some of the SLIPS in with deadlifts. Even setting a time like 1:00 at each station could be good.


I DON'T WANT TO COOK, JUST GIVE ME FOOD

As is

▶ INTENDED STIMULUS

OUCH! High volume deadlifts will hit your whole system hard. If you are planning on doing a hero workout tomorrow, leave all heroism for then. Today be a Clark Kent. Go in, do a good job, but keep your shirt on and your muscle supple. Focus on getting five awesome sets at around 60% of your max and go on with your life. If you want to be a hero today, try to go a little heavier than that. Keep in mind that ten reps for a heavy deadlift is a lot. As you get to the last three, your form will naturally degrade, and you will be more prone to use your back than your legs. Please don't push it past your mechanics. No, you will probably not get injured or blow a disc, but your low back will be out of commission next week, and your training will suffer. A good idea when cycling more extended sets of deadlifts is to focus on the descent. The better the descent, the better your set-up position, and that here is gold. 

For SLIPS try some fun inversion work. Diane is a beautiful workout because it combines inversions and deadlifts. Let's mimic that today. The option below might help you!



▶ OPTION FOR DEADLIFTS

This is a good option for athletes learning how to do a deadlift, or as a technique primer. 


5 Sets

10 Slow-Descent KB Deadlifts (set your athlete facing a wall, half a foot away)


4 Sets

8 Double KB Deadlifts (set KB's on top of 45 lb plates, and make your athlete work hard!)


3 Super Sets

6 Seated Good Mornings (load them up)

6 Stiff-Legged Deadlifts



▶ OPTION FOR SLIPS

3 Sets

20 seconds back scale directly into a kick to handstand on the wall

1 pirouette on wall

1 negative handstand push-up with roll-out


then 


3 sets

3 as slow as possible negative handstand push-up facing the wall*, in the last descent perform a max effort hover hold 

30 seconds headstand hold


then 


3 sets

Max L-sit/tuck hold on parallettes right into a gymnastics plank hold on parallettes**


*negative box handstand push-ups or pike push-ups if needed

**ideally, the transition will happen without touching the ground.
