Hey mainsite crew. i have decided to start working out at 6am after meditating, some stretches and coffee.

The first class I teach is 8am so if I do things swiftly I can get my morning ritual in, my workout, and then some journaling and some wholefoods.

I have been playing with usiing forst rounds in wods as warm up, which has been helpful in teaching me pacing. Since I am not doing a general warm up I cannot go extra hard out of the gates. So today I subbed straight leg med ball sit ups to wall for the ghd and worked out with a 24kg kettlebell. Got 5 rounds and 13 situps. Great workout hank you!

In fact, Noakes hasn’t even succeeded in curing his own diabetes—as he will tell you. He diagnosed himself, based on his blood-sugar levels and family history. Even after a year on the high-fat, low-carb regimen, he told me at breakfast, his fasting glucose had barely budged; it was still hovering above 125. “Nothing happened,” he says. So he prescribed himself metformin, a common first-line diabetes drug. “I was on two grams a day, which is a massive dose.”


When that didn’t work, he added supplements, including berberine, curcumin, and one called N-acetyl cysteine. That finally got his glucose and hemoglobin A1c (another marker of diabetes) under control. “So I’m cured,” he says. “But I’m not cured, because I still have to take the medicine.” 


Another way of putting it: Noakes controls his diabetes with a prescription drug, along with supplements and a low-carb diet. Plus running. Yet in public debates, on Twitter, and in most other interviews, he’s asserted that his diet alone is powerful enough to prevent or reverse diabetes. And that exercise is unnecessary, an astonishing statement from a guy who has devoted his entire life to the study and practice of physical fitness. “The best thing about this diet,” one giddy believer told me, “is that you don’t have to exercise.”

The disconnect highlights a trap into which Noakes seems to have fallen, according to both his critics and some former colleagues: a willingness to see only what he wants to see and believe only what he wants to believe. For example, he’ll approvingly tweet a link to an animal study showing that sugar is addictive, but when another study shows that mice still get diabetes on a low-carb diet, he’ll dismiss it, tweeting, “Mice are not men.” 


Meanwhile, big questions about the high-fat diet remain unanswered by science. Is it really better than all other diets for weight loss? Are its effects permanent? And what are the long-term cardiovascular (and other) risks of eating so much more saturated fat?

Kjet, I did read the article your link provided. It was quite interesting. You are qouting directly, and you succeed in to begin with a biased statement and end with similarily uninformed statement. My first thought was, why this personal attack, before I realized this is a direct qoute. Then again, why?


"hasn’t even succeeded in curing his own diabetes"

"long-term cardiovascular (and other) risks of eating so much more saturated fat? "


My father had gout, t2d, several hearth attacks before succumbing to -hearth failure / lungs failure in hospital. Much earlier than that, I did have to check out "gout", had no idea on this decease nor metabolic syndrome by then. Told him "now I know what gout is: all the piss does not accommodate in the head, but has to travel out and settle on the toe". Funny? I am equally sorry than Prof. Noakes (his father had t2d) that I could not advice my father to skip bread, beer and excess carbs. His destiny, however, was the reason for me to start investigating on, how to avoid this mess if possible.


First, if you get so far that you get t2d you are likely not to "get cured"; you can manage/mitigate your condition by -doing like Noakes. The reason being, you have developed this condition for 10+ years, breaking your hormonal / energy balance bit by bit. Lipodystrophy is a condition, where you have no fat tissue for keeping up this energy balance. By teenage, you are diabetic. For "normal" people, it may take equally long or longer to break up your system (later middle aged). The blood glucose is the very last red flag to be raised.


It is not necessary to eat "saturated fat" to avoid carbs. Then again, Ms. Harcombe tried to find a reason for the global advice to avoid sat fat, and made her Phd thesis on this. Shortened version: No evidence whatsoever, take all epidemiological or RCT studies in to account. Second finding; all fats include all fractions (O-6, Mufa, Sat), there is no exception. However, if you like to base your low-carb diet on "seed oil and omega-6" it is a possibility. Not so for me, the unique metabolic breaking down molecules of omega-6 for energy are various 4-HNE and HODE derivates. Find out and dislike them as I do...


So, no evidence for sat fat harm, a lot of contrary evidence though, gathered for a million of years. The O-6 "deficiency" of minkind was discovered for 100 years ago -by Crystallized Cotton Seed Oil -CRISCO -salesman.


If you believe in this, go get a bottle of corn oil, sunflower oil or canola oil. I just found one, and poured it on my bike chain. Because it shall oxidize in sunlight, I'll renew the treatment in two weeks. Swallowing it is no option, nor frying anything in it, I have coconut oil or butter for the purpose. Sat fat does not oxidize easily, there is no double bonds (in carbon chain) to do it! My cell membranes are better off withOUT oxLDL or too many unstable structural molecules in them. I'll change my mind if there is new info on this...

Thanks for your comments Kjet.

Not sure how exactly my personal medical history is to these columns. The article to which you refer is out of date. My diabetes control has continued to improve and I am now technically in T2DM remission as confirmed in a recent scientific publication in which I was a participant. I didn't make that diagnosis; it was made by the researchers undertaking the study.

Please check the publications from the Virta Health company in San Francisco showing "reversal" of T2DM on a high-fat low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet. I referred to them in one of my previous CrossFit columns.

Even yesterday a study from the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore confirms this finding:

Effects of the Low Carbohydrate, High Fat Diet on Glycemic Control and Body Weight in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes: Experience From a Community-Based Cohort.

Ahmed et al. BMJ Open Diabetes Res Care 2020 Mar;8(1):e000980. doi: 10.1136/bmjdrc-2019-000980.

Accessible here: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32193200/

Here are their conclusions:

Conclusions: In a community-based cohort of type 2 diabetes, the LCHF diet was associated with superior A1C reduction, greater weight loss and significantly more patients discontinuing or reducing antihyperglycemic therapies suggesting that the LCHF diet may be a metabolically favorable option in the dietary management of type 2 diabetes.

To my knowledge the only diet interventions that reverse T2DM are low in carbohydrate and hence high in fat; some in association with reduction in calories (Prof Taylor's group).


My job is to present the facts. They need to be considered and debated in a balanced, emotion-free environment.

Globo/Home scale: If at home and you have your 35/50lb dumbbells use those for the lunges, increase to 12 reps each side per round. For the GHD situps sub in 30 abmat situps per round. If you are doing this in a globo and haven't used a GHD recently or haven't done high volume with this movement, scale down the GHDSU to 5 or 10 per round, or sub abmat situps. Bodyweight sub pistols or deep box step ups, regular situps.

The depth and width of jet another fine article by Prof. Noakes makes it hard to comment. I’ll try anyways…


The thinking of Subbotin and Kendrick could maybe be combined. Let’s take the longitudinal dimension into this context.


The background fact is, that plague formation is asymmetrical circumference-wise

and lengthwise restricted. I.e. there is a short thickening of a vessel wall and longer “normal and smooth” section of the same vessel. The damaged area(s) may be relatively short. And there is almost always revascularizing in this thick plague section, if we believe the operating surgeons. The endothelium layer under high pressure artery is like annual ring -you start with one at birth, but you end up with 25-30, one per younger year (Subbotin’s point).


Dr. Kendrick points out, that there is a lesion that gets covered fast by a new endothelium layer -leaving a scab underneath. It is hopefully eaten up by macrophages. However, the lesion under high pressure, flow disturbance, or pulsating movement -coronary artery anybody – and the process may repeat itself. So, maybe we end up with too thick a layer to get nourished from lumen… turn over to Subbotin.


Too much thickness and hypoxia is demanding new blood vessels deep in Tunica Intima. Vasa Vasorum is being created, penetrating the elastic lamina and introducing

lipoproteins into where they were never expected. Happy reunion with molecules

who like to combine with cholesterol…


This is how Nakashima got pictures like from Trump’s inauguration; there is “some stuff” in front elastic lamina, but there is “stuff” missing near lumen, where there should be plenty if the “space” would be crowded from “behind”. Nakashima used modest magnifying, but even though… there is “stuff” missing in between.


This question takes a form of this allegation; is this plausible, does this fit / add to the story?

lipoproteins into where they were never expected. Happy reunion with molecules who like to combine with cholesterol…

 

This is how Nakashima got pictures like from Trump’s inauguration; there is “some stuff” in front elastic lamina, but there is “stuff” missing near lumen, where there should be plenty if the “space” would be crowded from “behind”. Nakashima used modest magnifying, but even though… there is “stuff” missing in between. This question takes a form of this allegation; is this plausible, does this fit / add to the story?

I chose to warm up with a 1/2 mi run, 75 KB swings, 30 pull-ups, 75 pushups, and some air squats before giving the hips and shoulders a stretch.

WOD ANALYSIS


Coaching notes:

Template: This high intensity WOD follows “AMRAP” template, so scoring is based on as many reps as possible.


Format: This exercise is a couplet element WOD that are selected in a couplet modality. In fact, this is combined of a core exercise from gymnastic element with a moderate weightlifting movement.


Purpose: The training purpose is to improving the stamina and strength of the core and legs muscles, and also shoulder muscles as stabilizer muscles in overhead lunges. Furthermore, the explosive power of the hip is challenge and improves in the GHD sit up. The overhead position challenges the balance, flexibility and coordination.


Scoring (round numbers): Athletes must do at least 6 rounds of this WOD. Advanced athletes can do at least 7 rounds.


Running a class: Trainers have 48 min for set other parts. So he/ she can set the other parts according to purpose of the training and level of physical fitness of athletes.


Physiology (GPP): Stamina, strength and flexibility play a major role in this WOD. Moreover, cardiorespiratory, balance and coordination are challenged.


Physiology (energy pathway): The lactic acid system is a dominant energy pathway in this WOD. Because the intensity of this WOD is so high that the body uses lactic acid pathway most of the training time. In fact the duration of this exercise is not enough to energy pathway shifting to aerobic system.


Anatomy:

GHD sit-ups: Rectus abdominis, Iliacus Psoas, Rectus Femoris, External oblique abdominis, Internal oblique abdominis, Sartorius

Overhead walking lunges: Trapezius (upper fibers), Anterior & middle deltoid, Triceps, Gluteus maximus, Quadriceps

_______________________ 


Running a 60 min class:

Whiteboard: ≈ 3 min

General warm-up: ≈ 5 min

Specific warm-up for GHD sit-ups ≈ 4 min

Specific warm-up for lunges ≈ 6 min

WOD: = 12 min

Cool-down: ≈ 10 min


Additional time: It remains ≈ 20 minutes that can be divided in specific warm-up or cool-down.


Train hard and challenge your body. Enjoy it ;)

GOOD LUCK

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

I played around with these L-sit lifts as a sub for GHD sit-ups. Just pike my hips up off the floor as usual for my L-sit, then lift one leg at a time. I did 20 of those per round a few times and 20 GHD sit-ups other times. The L-sit lifts were pretty rough, actually.


MAIN DECISION

Is 12 minutes long enough to match my technique level


NEW TO CROSSFIT SCALE

AMRAP in 12 minutes of:

20 lunges

:20 L-sit


WHAT ABOUT THE MOVEMENTS

GHD sit-up - pulling from the hips, rigid midline, core-to-extremity

Overhead lunge - squatting, unilateral loading, unilateral loading again, overhead, pushing


WHAT ABOUT THE REPS/TIME

Both of these movements are pretty stamina-driven, and there is a decent amount of reps per round. But the 12-minute time cap means there should be a good amount of intensity. So unbroken on everything is how I see this.


LEARN TO COOK

If you want to keep the movements the same but need more practice, just extend the time domain until you feel like you got something out of it. If you want to keep a high intensity and don't have the technique, try lunges or overhead squats and L-sit. You could also bias the strength part of it (GHD ROM and weight on lunge) and cut the reps down.


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

Same movements, extend to 15-20 minutes


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 5

▶ INTENDED STIMULUS


Oof! Nasty little piece. This screams six rounds, which is a cadence of 20 reps per minute. That's going to become a mental battle, especially because this will slowly but surely become a stamina workout. The load on the lunges should be heavy but something you can handle unbroken. You want your shoulder to get a solid workout. The idea is that it burns pretty bad in the second half, but that you still be successful. In other words the weight should not crush you. It should be close, but you ought to prevail. The same applies to the number of reps on the GHD. Set yourself up here so that you can complete most rounds within one minute, even if you are breaking the reps here and there. If you don't have access to a GHD try straight leg AbMat sit-ups. If you have access to a GHD or a similar contraption but don't have a lot of experience in this movement, parallel sit-ups are a solid modification. Today is all about finding that grit and resilience. Because this will become acidic, your brain should be all focused on your movement, not on the sensation. If you focus on the sensation, you will stop. FOCUS ON YOUR MOVEMENT!


▶ OPTION 1

Complete as many rounds as possible in 12 minutes of:


16 GHD sit-ups

10 left-arm overhead walking lunges

10 right-arm overhead walking lunges


♀ 35-lb. DB ♂ 50-lb. DB


▶ OPTION 2

Complete as many rounds as possible in 12 minutes of:


16 GHD parallel sit-ups or 20 straight leg sit-ups

10 left-arm overhead walking lunges

10 right-arm overhead walking lunges


♀ 20-lb. DB ♂ 35-lb. DB


▶ OPTION 3

Complete as many rounds as possible in 12 minutes of:


16 straight leg sit-ups

10 left-arm overhead walking lunges

10 right-arm overhead walking lunges


♀ 15-lb. DB ♂ 25-lb. DB

Unstable with the OH wl's, especially the left. Dropped to 17.5 lbs on those. Otherwise, did option 3. I need to watch it and not overdo things. My toe hurts from the lunges. Ugh.
