79 reps at 125 today. Built up to 155 in the warmup and decided residual leg and ab soreness from this weekends back squat ghd crusher warranted a lighter bar. Singles on squat cleans, 5’s on power jerks except the final set of 6. Compare to was 115lb. and squat clean only with rest instead of jerks.

Commented on: The Evolution of Diet

Very interesting article. It underscores the point that there is no true paleo diet or hunter-gatherer diet, but many. Loren Cordain, author of the Paleo Diet, is always open about the fact that there are many ways of eating that fit under this umbrella. Furthermore, his approach is to modernize the diet for the modern palate. Most people today don’t eat whole animals from hoof to snout. And most simply won’t, regardless of how much more authentic or healthy it would be. It’s hard enough to get people off hyperpalatable modern foods!


While I find the study of modern hunter-gatherers to be interesting, I have a concern there could be a “survivor bias” at play here. Most of the world abandoned this lifestyle a long time ago, for better or worse (I’ll get back to that). What is left are small pockets of people in isolated areas unsuitable for civilization. The types of food available in these places might not be representative of what pre-agricultural people ate throughout the world in locations more suitable for civilization.


There is a wide variety of hypotheses floating around within the field of paleoanthropology, but this article sourced quotes primarily from the pro plant-based side of the debate. There are plenty of others who suggest it was diet flexibility that allowed humans to flourish, others suggest it was Omega-3 fatty acids. One idea that is a bit fringe (that I find interesting) is the lipovore hypothesis. Early man was a fat hunter. A fat-based diet provided us with the necessary excess calories to support our growing brains with the least amount of effort. Obviously protein goes along with fat, and carbohydrates filled in the rest.


The article also demonizes red meat based on largely unproven evidence, like Neu5Gc— a monosaccharide found in red meat that has been shown to cause cancer in mice. The dosages were unrealistic and the mouse model doesn't necessarily apply to humans. Of course, the Neu5Gc angle got picked up in the press and in the vegan documentary “Game Changers”.


Regardless, the invention of agriculture did not serve us well. Early farmers worked longer and harder than hunter-gatherers and were rewarded with a less varied, less nutritious diet. Author of Sapiens, Yuval Noah Harari called agriculture history’s biggest fraud.


We’re now at an interesting point in history that we can not only obtain food with minimal effort, but we can also digest it with minimal effort. Food processing techniques chew your food for you. Compared to early farmers and hunter-gatherers, we can now feed ourselves with near-zero effort and near-zero nutrition. It’s no wonder so many people are suffering from lifestyle diseases.

I think I remember in one of the Game Changers lectures you guys posted here - maybe from Zoe - that doing cholesterol/saturated fat studies on mice doesn't make sense because mice can't digest meat well.


But other than that I really liked the article, and the pictures to go along with it. I can't imagine reaching into a freaking bee hive and grabbing a big thing of honey, no matter how much smoke there is.


Can you expand a bit on the "chewing your food for you" analogy? I think I heard someone talk about the difference between eating your food and drinking it, but I don't remember exactly.

Hey Chris,

I don't remember which DDC lecture it was, but I have heard from a few different sources that cholesterol is super toxic in rabbits. Some of the early cholesterol studies were done on rabbits by Anitschkow in the early 1900s. They could easily induce atherosclerosis into rabbits by feeding them cholesterol dissolved into vegetable oil. Since rabbits are herbivores, they can't digest it.


I've heard the quote "chew your drinks and drink your foods". Wise words. But when I said that food processors chew your food for you, I meant that literally. Processed foods are essentially pre-digested for you.


A former FDA commissioner spoke on this:

"I wondered what was in the box," he recalls. "It didn't say 'starch.' It said 'wheat.' I started talking to scientists and people who worked in industry, and realized that the processing techniques really pummel the intact nature of wheat in a major way. If you look at the cereal in your bowl, it looks nothing like wheat. The mechanical forces have changed it. What's in that box are short chains of glucose - which is sugar."


When whole ingredients are powderized, the amount of effort needed to digest them drops dramatically. And they digest so rapidly that you're hungry again shortly after. Intact, whole foods are kind of like time-released medicines. They deliver nutrients gradually.

I went with medium weight and I counted straight through instead of by set (or I would surely have lost track). No rack here; so, every time I set the bar down, I counted the ensuing squat clean, even during the jerk sections. I am sure I ended up with more cleans than jerks.

1 minute rounds felt good, realized my mistake going into the 2 minute rounds. I left no room for rest and my heart rate was jacked, my squat cleans suffered in the second round. Found my groove after that. Hit a squat clean every 10 seconds in the 3 minute round, felt like a solid pace and I could hang on. Felt strong going into the last round of push jerks. Hit 3 sets of 8 with about :30 rest in between and then went all out for a set of 10. Fun WOD!

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT


WHAT ABOUT THE MOVEMENTS

Clean - jumping, squatting without connection (landing in a squat instead of slow descent), external load, upright torso demand

Push jerk - jumping, upright torso, external load, overhead with loss of connection (same concept as clean - press would be keeping the connection)


WHAT ABOUT THE FORMAT

A heavy(ish) weight with pretty complex movements and moderate time domain make me think technique for both lifts are assumed to be on point. And the limiting factor will be stamina because the time domain goes up. If anything other than stamina would be a limiting factor, then it might be good to adjust the weight or time.


TECHNIQUE SCALE

3 rounds of 3:00 each, rest 1 minute between exercises. Probably empty bar.


CONSISTENCY SCALE

6:00 cleans

6:00 push jerk

*keep the weight heavy(ish)


INTENSITY SCALE

3 sets of:

max reps cleans

max reps push jerks

rest as needed between sets

*wow this looks miserable


MY STUFF

Same time frame, kept it at 75 lbs, mixed in some split cleans, worked on timing for push jerk. Technique felt good, didn't count.


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 6
