Commented on: This Is Your Brain on Cholesterol

This is good to hear that older citizen shouldn’t start to stress about their cholesterol. Cholesterol levels are often a center of older people's thought because they have been told (wrongly) that it is the biggest variable to check for their heart health.

Thanks for sharing.

Slightly modified...


Squats - For time - 10 rounds of 15 squats, with 10 second rest in between. Timer never started, so not sure of time, but all squats were unbroken.


L-sit from floor - did 2 min total accumulated time as quickly as possible. finished in 4:50. Was able to hold first set fo 20 sec., second for 15 sec., then it rapidly deteriorated. Was down to 2 second sets/2 seconds rest for last minute, so lots of sets.

Yes! There’s a trick to it! Place your hands a little ways down your thighs, in front of your hips instead of beside or behind and round your upper back to press through the arms and hands.

This one is simple but dirty! Here are some thoughts on this workout:

Tabata Air Squats- I will have nearly all of my athletes perform this section as prescribed. I will control athletes speed to allow for full range of motion and sound mechanics. In the rare instance that I need to modify the movement, I will utilize a band assisted air squat, to help accumulate reps, throughout a full range of motion.


L-sits: The main variations will be a tuck L-sit, an L-sit with one leg extended, and an L-sit as prescribed with straight legs. I will have athletes utilize a variation they can hold for at least 15 seconds on their first effort and attempt to accumulate the 2 minutes in 10 sets or less. There may be some instances where I need to reduce the total time to accumulate or modify the movement further. I will do so on an individual basis.

Globo Scale: As Rxed. L sits can be done on 2 boxes, 2 benches, rings, dip bars, paralletts, TRX, on the floor, or hanging from a pullup bar, rings, rope, or TRX (Grip Gainz!!!). It's been pretty easy for globo goers and garage gym users here lately.


FYI... For tabata squats, you should walk funny at the end of this workout.

Monica Reinagel sums it up nicely for those of us who get easily confused with all the varying recommendations:


"It’s also a good reminder that prescribing medications (or diets) in response to individual lab values is not ideal. Recommendations should always take into consideration a patient’s overall health, health history, lifestyle, age-adjusted risk factors and requirements, as well as other medications and conditions."

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT:

Good lord the quads! Enjoy them while you can, for you may never see them in the same condition again. This is one of those that can make you say, “ok so is this the warmup?” at first glance. And taken half-speed, it definitely can be a good warmup. Taken full speed and this one will be rough, especially if going for max time each set on L-sits. Intermediate athletes know they are taking the step towards advanced when they can do this and understand how it’s completely sufficient as a stand-alone workout.


I SHOULD TRY THIS RX’D IF: I have the capacity to do a lot of squats in 20 seconds repeatedly. “A lot” can mean whatever you want, but somewhere in the 15-20 range is what I’d look to go no lower than.


ORGANIC SCALES:

Strength — any kind of weighted squats, and l-sits are fine

Stamina — I mean…

Endurance — adjust the intervals so you can splice in the l-sits between squat sets

Flexibility — lower than usual on squats, do l-sits on the ground, scale with feet or butt on the ground


NEUROLOGICAL SCALES:

Coordination — do squats with a bench in front of you and make sure your knees don’t touch it

Accuracy — hit the ball every time

Agility — fast air squats are plenty for agility

Balance — l-sits on rings


GROUP VERSION: same except do like :40 on, :20 off for slower squatters


WARMUP:

This is your opportunity to practice things you suck at. Relatively low skill workout, not a ton of prep for positions and nothing will make you feel less miserable after.


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL (1=REST DAY, 10=PR-DRIVEN FGB): 4. Legs should be toast!
