31:56 -Perhaps could’ve done this a bit earlier, or ate another snack for better performance... last time 28:44 but I estimated the runs and may have been short about 100m each round. It’s hotter today than back then too...started with a 4 minute round, then had 3 by 14m, 4 in 20m. Cardio!!! Almost puked afterward. Squats unbroken. Pushups not so much. 3 sets each until round 5...then 5-7 sets a round.

This was tough but not too bad.  Started out pretty quick, first round in under 4 min, but running slowed in later rounds.  May have twinged something in my left hip – will have to monitor.  Aidan (9 yo) did this with me: no vest, 12 push-ups, everything else as rx’d, in 23:32.  He’s a tough little nut.

Commented on: Type 2 Diabetes: Treating Not Managing

Well at least the Lancet community is looking for a non drug alternative to actually reversing and preventing type 2 diabetes but calorie restriction is almost a sure fire way to fail in the long run. They could have gotten dramatic results by getting people off sugar and carbs in about 30 days. I have to wonder if they even wanted to reverse the illness.. Weight loss is not the driving factor in type 2 diabetes reversal. The elephant in the room that nobody wants to discuss is sugar. You want the truth ?? Follow the money trail. The solution is so simple. Get off the couch and off the carbs NO SUGAR... It's a drug for goodness sake. And although the food manufactures and COKE are partially to blame the ultimate responsibility falls to the individual. It is not the governments job to keep us healthy.

Hey guys I can't do the running part this workout what can I do instead? (I have a jump rope but I don't know if its a good substitute and how many jumps I should do).

Colleen Glisson
June 24th, 2020 at 3:56 pm

I find burpees are a good sub for running (it's a continuous movement that gets my heart rate up) or you can do "up downs" (burpees with no pushup) since you will be doing pushups earlier in the workout. I generally sub 15 burpees per 200m of running, so in this workout it would be 30 burpees or up downs per round. Jump rope is fine but for me i feel like it's almost a resting movement and i don't get nearly as out of breath as i do with running or burpees.

So the new owner and CEO of crossfit made million$ by tracking how consumers spend their money and selling that information to advertisers.

WOD ANALYSIS


Coaching notes:

Template: This WOD follows “For Time” template, so scoring is based on the least time to complete.


Modality: This exercise is a couplet modality that is combined of 3 high reps gymnastics movements and a 400-m sprint run.


Purpose: The main focus in this WOD is to challenge the muscular endurance and fatigue.


The reason for choosing reps: The reps of this WOD is high. This high reps challenge the muscle fatigue, so improve the mental tolerance of the athletes.


Note: This WOD set in 6 rounds. So overall, athletes should perform 144 reps of squats, push-ups and lunge, and 2400-m sprint run.


Scale method: If the athlete cannot run 400 meters in under 2 minutes, the trainer must scale the running distance.


Time to perform: This High intensity WOD takes about ≈ 25 min, so if the athletes perform it longer than it, trainer can scale it. Advanced athletes can do it under 22 min.


Running a class: Trainers have ≈ 35 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 and cardiorespiratory play a major role in this exercise. Furthermore, strength, flexibility, and coordination are challenged.


Physiology (energy pathway): The aerobic system is a dominant energy pathway in this exercise program.


Anatomy:

Squat: Gluteus maximus, Quadriceps

Push-up: Pectoralis major (sternum head), Triceps

Lunge: Gluteus maximus, Quadriceps, Hamstring, Gastrocnemius, Soleus

Run: Gluteus maximus, Iliacus Psoas, Rectus femoris, Sartorius, Quadriceps, Hamstring, Gastrocnemius, Tibialis anterior

_________________________


Running a 60 min class:

Whiteboard: ≈ 3 min

General warm-up: ≈ 5 min

Specific warm-up: ≈ 15 min

WOD: ≈ 25 min

Cool-down: ≈ 12 min 


Train hard and challenge your body. Enjoy it ;)

GOOD LUCK

Commented on: Type 2 Diabetes: Treating Not Managing

A few quotes from the commentary I found interesting.

“The findings from DiRECT strongly suggest that the key to diabetes remission is weight loss. The investigators tested a rapid weight-loss regimen, aiming to achieve an initial 15 kg weight loss, which they regarded as a threshold at which remission was more likely. However, the trial results suggest a linear relation: the greater the weight loss, the greater the chance of remission, with no apparent threshold.”


I like what was written in the summary, that the weight loss might be a result of better insulin management, not the other way around. JR made a great point that any reduction in calories also implies a reduction in carbohydrates.


“Multiple visits bring substantial additional costs to the health system, patients, and the wider economy (since such appointments will often require time off work). Irrespective of cost- effectiveness, providing this programme at scale would challenge primary care provision worldwide. For example, in the UK, people see a primary care nurse for 1·28 10-min appointments per year on average.12 If 25% of people with type 2 diabetes were to follow the DiRECT programme, this would necessitate a roughly 50% increase in total nurse consultation time and therefore workforce.”


Let me put on my green eyeshade for a moment and play accountant. Yes, there would be an increased cost to offer nutrition counseling to people. Especially at the onset. I suspect this cost would be offset over time by the reduced cost of medications and treatments for diabetes complications. Of course, people might live longer and collect more social security checks...but that's not really a problem for public health.

And how sad is that the average person gets 12 minutes of attention per year from a doctor?


“…about half of the intervention participants resumed their total diet replacement on at least one occasion, but even so, there was a mean of 2·6 kg weight regain between the 12-month and 24-month assessments, so further evidence is needed.”


Pretty typical of most calorie reduction diets. What I would love to see in the future is a head-to-head competition between Virta, DIRECT, Jason Fung's IDM and see whose program wins. It would be nice if the free market could pick the winner, but healthcare is about as far as you can get from a free market.

My library does not get this journal. I would be grateful for a copy. The question I would search is the extent to which the authors compare those results to those of Hallberg, et al. which appear to be better and require a far less demanding intervention.

I did once compare, superficially, Virta vs. DiRECT. There is a draft available for 2 years at https://www.directclinicaltrial.org.uk/Publications.html


Virta had worse patients with longer duration of t2d than Direct. Virta did not exclude insulin injectors, Direct may have done so. Virta had better outcomes in each and every measurement.


Putting these two together, they are successes both. Usual care was useless in both. As usual.


Direct has this obsession into "weight loss" and "balanced" nutrition. They miss the point that 50% of 800kcal is 100g of carbs. Without realising, they apply low carb diet. Below, they acknowledge Virta (30) but negate it the following sentence (31). Not randomised vs meta-(r)ct? The latter I wish not to open, reminds me of Naude &all "fraud/stupidity" in Noakes trial.


"A recent study of people with type 2 diabetes has demonstrated

substantial weight loss, reduced glycaemia and decreased medications with a very low carbohydrate

diet, although this was not randomised .30

However, meta-analyses of the controlled trial evidence

show no important differences between high and low carbohydrate diets for weight control or

HbA1c .31"

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

I would normally say Just a Workout... but it's a hero one.


WHAT ABOUT THE MOVEMENTS

Squat - squatting, speed, pulling from the hips, pushing from the hips big range of motion

Push-up - pushing, midrange, connection, speed

Lunge - locomotion (kind of), squatting, unilateral loading

Running - locomotion, falling, skill (using gravity/elasticity)


WHAT ABOUT THE FORMAT

Normal setup where stamina/muscle burning makes us want to stop, but we probably have the capacity to go through the entire thing unbroken. At least lunges/squats. This workout will be as bad as you want to make the run.


TECHNIQUE SCALE

As is.


CONSISTENCY SCALE

As is, maybe try 3 rounds and mushing together the reps. 48/48/48/800


INTENSITY SCALE

Rest in between whatever you did the round in, keep track of fastest and slowest rounds.


MY STUFF

18:30 as rx'd.


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 7
