Commented on: LDL Cholesterol Invades Your Arteries – Bad Science or What?

Heart disease is the top killer of Americans and commands a research budget of over $2 billion annually. What if the physiology underlying the mainstream theory is incorrect? This is what Dr. Subbotin is saying and Ivor Cummins does a really nice job of explaining it.


One of the big questions is how cholesterol gets inside of our arteries. The consensus belief is that cholesterol circulating within the arteries infiltrates and then deposits itself into the inner structure. Based on this theory, lowering cholesterol should cure heart disease. In 1996, Nobel prize winners Brown and Goldstein boldly predicted that heart disease would be eradicated by the early 21st century thanks to statins. Clearly that didn’t happen!


Dr. Subbotin’s idea is that heart disease develops from the outside-in through the vasa vasorum. The VV is tiny blood vessels surrounding the coronary arteries. When the VV are damaged, the coronary arteries lose their oxygen supply. Dr. Cummins explains this really well.


The implications are that we ought to work towards protecting the VV. How can we do this? Dr. Subbotin suggests high-intensity exercise.* I've also heard that sugar plays a role by making red blood cells too stiff enter capillaries. This clogs up fine blood vessels such as the vasa vasorum or those in the eye. Clogged VV cannot supply oxygen to the coronary arteries, setting off a cascade of events that leads to heart disease.


If only a tiny slice of the $2 billion heart disease budget could be directed to this line of research… Subbotin has self-funded much of his own research, which is both admirable and sad at the same time. I’m proud of CrossFit for shining a light on his work.


*I don’t think he was just playing to the crowd when he spoke at CrossFit Health. He was a bodybuilder, so  he knows his way around the weight room. If you watch the video of his speech, be sure to turn on the captions. Google thinks he's speaking Russian!

Hi Tyler my take on this fascinating hypothesis was following.

1. The analogy to corneal lipid keratopathy. First comes vasa's, then thru these neotubes comes lipids. They get in an area where they never should be.

2. Hi pressure arteries have several layers in endothelium, like year rings in trees. They grow for 25-30 years and get stronger (animals have thinner endothelium ). The grafts from low pressure veins, they easily get damaged (insult /lesion? )

3. So, whatever initiates the insult, the epithelium grows on top of it. "Scab" remains inside, and it is eaten slowly by magrophages. Get another insult on the spot, and the thickening is happening.

4. Now, the innermost tunica intima starts suffocating, hypoxia initiates neovascularization. Help comes from outside, vasa vasorum. Tumors do similarly.

5. Now, there is an oxygen tube into intima. Introducing lipids that never should have reached there. Proteoglycans react willingly with cholesterol etc. Now you see plague growth deep inside. Magrophages become visible other way around; inside out. (Why not the same route?)

6. This explains nicely the asymmetrical positioning of plague. Also, lengthwise plagues are localised. Also, the cholesterol concentration only accelerates the process; there's always e.g. basal ldl available. Have we seen graphs where ldl correlations were poor to given sickness?

7. Keratopathy treatment focuses on preventing the neovascularization. Maybe you could do that indirectly with arteries, by not smoking / diet choices.


Wonder how this could be proved. Or disproved for that matter.

I also have a question for you guys about the nature of this type of workout.


Are we supposed to do these workouts with our whole strength and bring ourselves to complete exhaustion as the main purpose.

Or should we approach it as a sport, and calculate or rest, use of strength throughout the workout etc. in order to maximize our amount of rounds?

Great question - don't mind if I try to answer. We want to increase our overall work capacity - our ability to carry heavy loads, long distances, quickly. So ultimately we want to maximize the number of rounds. However, part of the journey is to learn about ourselves and our capacity on any given day, which might change day-to-day based on any number of factors (sleep, diet, stress, and others). This way, when a particular WOD comes up again, we can go back to our results from last time and adjust if need be.


Here's an example: if I try Cindy without stopping I'll max out around 15-16 rounds, with all the stopping in the later rounds. However, if I do a round, then wait 5-6 seconds before getting back on the pull up bar, I can get more than 25. More work, same amount of time. Increased work capacity, even though I'm deliberately stopping to rest even after the first round.


Hope this answers your question!


PS - if you drive yourself into the ground every time, you'll seriously increase the chances of burnout or injury.

With 20# weight vest, 5 rounds + 3 burpees.


Took this one carefully; the shin was still bleeding pretty good yesterday.  Stepped into burpees which slowed it down somewhat.  Wall balls broken 10-10 except first round (unbroken).  Definitely tougher with the vest – was shooting for 5 rounds and just barely got there.

How's the squat in the wall ball shot? Maybe split the wallball shot into frontsquats and pushpresses, and have those be the two movements of this workout.


Or if you want to do some sort pushing like a burpee, a floor press or light bench press. Bar/DB's/KB's/medball.


Or or sub a pulling exercise like rows or pull-ups.


Or or or a sumo-deadlift high-pull instead of burpees would still be a gnarly workout.

That's cool to hear you've noticed an evolution. When did you take your first L1? I need to take another one soon. My first was in 2004. The whole CrossFit message has been refined steadily ever since, but the underlying kernel is essentially the same.

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

If you don't treat burpees as a throwaway conditioning movement then you'll find there is a ton of opportunity to practice movement skill and positional strength. Blocking movement with the feet together and elbows in goes a long way towards keeping your hips and shoulders in a safe/strong position. Then using a bow/kip helps reinforce the principle of core-to-extremity - which is at the center of almost every "skilled" movement we have in CrossFit and sport. Even if you're with someone who just uses it to practice getting up off the ground, you are practicing lunging mechanics.


WHAT ABOUT THE MOVEMENTS

Burpee - getting up, global extension/global flexion, skill, pushing from the arms, pulling from the hips

Wallball - pushing, jumping, squatting, external load, accuracy component, loss of connection on the squat


WHAT ABOUT THE FORMAT

When you see 10 minutes think "sprint." When you think "sprint" and see any reps listed, think "unbroken."


TECHNIQUE SCALE

AMRAP in 12 minutes of:

7 push-ups

21 squats

*practice wallballs and burpees during the warmup


CONSISTENCY SCALE

Lighten the wallballs, maybe drop the burpee number to 7 or so, then extend the AMRAP for 20 minutes.


INTENSITY SCALE

As is. Lower the weight/burpee number so everything can be "UNBROKEN SEXTON" - in Coach T's voice.


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 7, maybe an 8
