Didn’t do yesterday’s WOD due to a 4th day of soreness after the thruster rope climb WOD. Body was begging for more rest. Could’ve done it but would’ve been half assed.


Happy with today’s performance. Power clean singles. Rested :20-:40 before each run to push the speed. Run times 1:41, 1:35, 1:31

Final plank unbroken. The rest in 2 parts with a short break.

As rx’d, 22:05.


Hard, but would have been much harder but for the plank hold, where I was able to recover a bit. Did cleans in sets of 3 first round; all singles afterward. Quick singles were pretty manageable. Tried to go fast on the runs, and came in at 1:40, 1:35, and 1:41. This WOD rewards you for running faster, since the plank hold is isometric. It’s hard, but it’s mostly mental (some stamina).


Did after EMOM squat cleans 135-215.

Commented on: Thinking Aloud: Was the "High Cholesterol" Hoax Designed To Swindle $2TR?

How do I get my elderly mom from taking statins? Every time she sees a doctor, they want to put her on another medication or increase the dosage. Not only is she taking a statin, she is taking a fluoridated statin (simvastatin). I think the physicians are incentivized to prescribe drugs to medicare patients--if not, they lose money on them. My dad decided to stop taking statins and refused to go back on them, and he was "dismissed" by his physician. If it were not the medical industry, it would be considered elder abuse. My mom has fear from ingrained messaging over previous decades--how does society unwind from that?

John, I would suggest to ask your mother to explain the physician's reasoning for prescribing the statin. Give them the benefit of the doubt. If they, or someone in the physician's group, is not able to explain their reasoning for it...I would suggest finding another physician/group.


Your remark about "physicians are incentivized to prescribe drugs to medicare patients", is actually partly true regarding statins (in the US, where medicare is). Medicare lists measures each year (star measures) that enable it to compare performance between different insurance plans, which the Center for Medicare Services (CMS) in turn uses to rank the plans. Consumers of medicare can select plans based on these rankings (https://www.medicareinteractive.org/get-answers/medicare-health-coverage-options/changing-medicare-coverage/how-to-compare-plans-using-the-medicare-star-rating-system). One particular star measure is statin adherence in patients with diabetes, as the evidence put forward by the American Diabetes Association highlights that statin use in patients with diabetes (specifically with diabetes, not targeting a cholesterol number, or non-diabetics) lowers the rates of ASCVD events, like heart disease or stroke. This is referred to as the pleiotropic effects of statins, meaning they improve outcomes, regardless of lipid levels. If an insurance plan has a certain percentage of its patients remain adherent to statins, they will receive a better star rating. And the way I understand it, physicians (through insurance companies) are reimbursed better by medicare if they achieve better star ratings. Now, I do not know if your elderly mother/father has diabetes- but if they did, that could explain why physicians are always trying to prescribe/increase, with good reason. And if they are unwilling to explain this reasoning?...I would simply seek other care from a physician/group that is willing to put a little more time into helping patients understand the reasoning behind treatments.


In defense of physicians, the primary care system leaves very little time for each patient to have discussions with their doctor. But at some point I would argue it necessary to take a step back, and that point can be the prescription of drugs without explanation and simultaneous understanding between the physician and patient. I've assumed a lot in this post, but felt it was worth assuming because it may be informative to you (and others) as to why doctors and others are trying to prescribe statins. I would be interested to hear other's opinions.

This will be an interesting workout. I'm really curious as to how the planks will impact the power cleans. Here are some thoughts on scaling this one:

Power Cleans: I consider the prescribed load to be moderate and the volume to be relatively high, but achievable for many when arranged in this fashion. I will recommend loads that my athletes could potentially perform 7-10 reps in a row with, even though I probably won’t recommend performing unbroken sets of 7-10 in the workout. I will also look to see that the initial 21 reps does not take much longer than 2:00-2:30 to complete. This general guideline should allow for a fair amount of consistency and intensity throughout the duration of the workout while also achieving the goal of utilizing a moderate load. During the latter portion of the build-up time I will have each athlete show me 3 reps, with their intended working weight, to assess if the loading is accurate for the goal of the day. For newer athletes, I may reduce the reps as well as the load.


Run: I will have nearly all of my athletes perform the run as prescribed. I will reduce distance or modify the movement to another monostructural exercise, on an individual basis, if needed.


Planks: I expect this movement to get difficult and have a potential impact on the powers cleans. I will have a large portion of my clientele that will perform the exercise for the prescribed durations. When scaling, I will give the guideline of no more than 2 quick breaks (<0:10) to achieve the time to accumulate on each round.

Jim, you can make anything into a "core" exercise by squeezing your butt and belly as tight as you can. Also, try walking your hands further away from your feet to make it harder.

Dr. Premji nails it. Cholesterol has been exonerated, yet it is still feared by the masses. The liver produces it, the brain needs it and steroid hormones require it. Artificially lowering your “number” must come with consequences. Simply eat whole foods and avoid the ones that have been tinkered with. The big food industry is interested in profit and not your health.

This article is as lopsided as the bad science Crossfit likes to criticize from food industry. I’m not arguing the merits of the medications, but the quotes of Dr. Mann are taken completely out of context. He never minimized the role of cholesterol in heart disease, he argued low cholesterol diet with interference of vegetable oil lobby against animal fat would not help. Epidemiology still shows the risk of cholesterol in cardiac events(sure, sugar my trigger the atherosclerosis). Crossfit has a good foot to stand on arguing for better diet and exercise, but don’t publish one off opinions of a Tanzanian doc with a bone to pic as science. You argue for data, then show a well done controlled study with good, clean numbers, not selective interpretation and misused quotes. Btw Crossfit sells a product too(Forbes valued at $4B in 2015, called 7th largest corporate franchise 2017).

Medical research has its flaws, but the well established educational institutions do agree that high LDL cholesterol can be bad, particularly when combined with other risk factors. Although this opinion was interesting, it needs for factual substance to be valid.

INTENDED STIMULUS

.

This one requires grit! You will need grit to keep cleaning that heavier barbell, you will need grit to keep the pace in the run, and you will need grit to hold a solid long plank. The only aid today is that this is only a three rounder. Use that schema to your advantage, open the first round at an easy pace, hold or speed up in the second, and push the end. This will be an excellent opportunity to track your lap time and see how well you can pace. How well do you know your capacity? Choose a weight for the cleans that is heavy but that gives you no excuse to stop -50% of your 1RM is an idea if your RM is solid and recent. Single repetitions here are totally an option as long as your rate per minute is high. Aim to keep run, cleans, and plank all at the same pace across the rounds. Although most athletes will be able to accumulate the hold for the duration of the runs, it will be more productive to choose a time you know you can do unbroken. Using percentages here to decide on that time is a great option. Having a set time is also a valid strategy. An average pace of six minutes per round will be a really solid target to have. Most athletes will be above that, but try to keep total time under twenty minutes. Today is about testing your fortitude and your maturity as an athlete. Let's fucking grind!



OPTION 1

3 rounds for time of:

21 power cleans

Run 400 m

Plank hold for 75% of run time

♀ 85 lb. ♂‚ 125 lb.

Stretch for 20 minutes.



OPTION 2

3 rounds for time of:

21 power cleans

Run 400 m

Plank hold for 50% of run time

♀ 65 lb. ♂‚ 95 lb.

Stretch for 20 minutes.

Forgot to mention: Athletes new to clean should keep loads light and stay with a hang power clean, unless the full power is awesome.

Champions Club Scaling Notes:


RANT: Ah yes, Power cleans. Glorious power cleans. I would rather do 100 of you than 2 of your full squat variations. Now that that's out of the way, I would have called this Just A Workout if not for the plank hold standard. This gives you a lot of flexibility to emphasize either strength or endurance. Still, it's interesting how often those two play off each other.


ORGANIC SCALES:

Strength - use the runs as an active rest station and reap the rewards (ha!) on the L-sit

Stamina - mush them all into 1 round then pray your body doesn't explode after doing 5 minutes of planks

Endurance - as is, scale weight so cleans are unbroken first round

Flexibility - full cleans


NEUROLOGICAL SCALES:

Coordination - power cleans and running give you a great opportunity to practice flow. Feel the fall on both

Accuracy - yes, you might be able to muscle clean the weight, but this gives you 63 opportunities to practice good landing habits. Let's do that.

Agility - same as coordination, quick cycling with the bar

Balance - opposite of coordination; stick the landing position for a few seconds on each rep


GROUP SCALE: as is, just allow people to start runs and planks at points on the clock that are easy to remember. Or just make it 2 minutes per round just to make them mad.


WARMUP:

Running jump rope - running prep

Box jump - clean prep

Pull-up - spend some time hanging

Pistol - running position prep

[insert thing we suck at]


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: again, haven't done this yet, but looks like a solid 6. Then again, when it looks easy on paper...
