4 complete rounds plus 500m row and 1 round of strict Cindy. Shoulder width gymnastic pushups and supinated grip pull-ups. Unbroken pull-ups until the final 5 reps. Unbroken pushups as long as possible. Harder than anticipated. Tried to row close to my 5k pace but ended up at my half marathon pace by the end! Next time I might try to row a little easier, sacrifice 5 seconds on each row and rest less between gymnastics exercises.

The idea of insulin as an obesigenic hormone fits well with the ideas Gary Taubes outlined in Good Calories, Bad Calories. It's good to see convergence between thinkers.

Commented on: Diabetes, Part 1: Disease Models

An interesting study that suggests that hyperinsulinemia could be the first defect in the metabolic cascade that culminates in type 2 diabetes can be found in the 1987 Hollenbeck and Reaven paper (Variations in Insulin-Stimulated Glucose Uptake in Healthy Individuals

with Normal Glucose Tolerance, J Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, Vol 64, No 6.) The researchers studied healthy, non-obese subjects with oral glucose tolerance tests and ensured that all were normal—i.e. they had a normal blood sugar response to the standard glucose load. They then tested them via an insulin clamp to determine glucose disposal, as a measure of insulin sensitivity, and sorted the population into quartiles of response with subjects in the lower quartile exhibiting minimal disposal of glucose (ie not being as responsive to insulin), the middle two quartiles each disposing of a bit more and yet more in response to insulin in a nice stair step, and the highest quartile being quite responsive and readily disposing of glucose.



What this study demonstrates is that even in ‘normal’ individuals, the insulin response to a carb load varies widely, with about 25% of this apparently healthy population being pretty carb tolerant (meaning they can move glucose out of their blood with minimal insulin effort), about 25% being very carb intolerant (meaning it takes a fair amount of

insulin to get the glucose down) and the other 50% falling somewhere in

between. Or, put another way, 75% of the population exhibits a hyperinsulinemic response of at least some degree to a carb load. In other words, three-quarters of us could be viewed as relatively carb intolerance.


Given that physiologic backdrop, it’s not surprising that the standard American diet promulgated since the 1980s (on little/no evidence that it would actually be beneficial) would reap the health outcomes we now see. Consuming a diet of 6 to 11 daily servings of bread and cereal grains (and other concentrated carb sources such as potatoes) would result in persistent hyperinsulinemia, with all its attendant metabolic consequences, in the 75% who over-respond to a carb load. And that's before you add the load of sugar-sweetened beverages many folks use to wash those 6 to 11 servings down.

As rx'd, 5 rounds + Row + 15 reps.


Back home after a scout ski trip, sleeping on the floor, long car ride. Just wanted something to get the blood flowing, go through some ranges of motion, and get me breathing hard. This did the trick. Rows were around 1:55, last one went postal and was closer to 1:50. Strict pull-ups mostly unbroken, some breaks and singles in later rounds. Push-ups unbroken about halfway, then 6-4; unbroken squats.

No Rower!

2 min. Of kettlebell swings! Every 30 seconds swapping either direction or swing. RUS Swing, 1-arm swing, alt. H2H swing, upper cuts, upper cuts with a lunge, around the body, bottoms up, circle 8, flips,...etc! Tried to do a different set of swings each time! H2H kettlebell juggling is more fun & allows you to swing longer without forming blisters. 5 rounds + 2 rounds of Cindy! All strict! Was aiming for 6 rounds, but had a globo gym PU bar that only lets you grip wide! I like my narrow (natural) PU grip better.

Globo scale: depending on setup, either run 1.5 miles or row 3000m after AMRAP 20 minutes of strict Cindy (strict pullups, Hand Release Pushups, and prisoner squats). This will allow you to hog a station without someone taking it. If setup allows do as rxed. Sub 400m runs for row today if doing as intended but without a rower.

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

Just a Workout. Ricky Reps on pull-ups as opposed to ring rows. We have been doing seated rope pull-ups as of late because they're easier to set up than rings and give a sense of actual reps instead of just hanging on for dear life. Might stick with these too. But yeah, Just a Workout.


PURPOSE

Strength and conditioning.


NEW TO CROSSFIT VERSION

As is


TRAINING SCALE

As is


PRACTICE SCALE

The word "strict" gets thrown around a lot these days. So I would say if you truly want to make it strict, then you need to have an element of midline stability consistent. In other words, your abs should be tired after one round.


GROUP SCALE

As is, run subbed for row. And Ricky Reps on pull-ups.


INJURY SCALE

Skip the row/run if you can't do it fast and just double down on the triplet. Pick 3 movements you can do strict and go at them for a half hour.


WARMUP

The first round of the workout

Chris Sinagoga
January 22nd, 2020 at 3:18 am

My bad on the late reply Jim.


Ricky Reps are named after a kid in our gym who, as an 8th grader, used to just move on from an exercise whenever he felt like he was good for that round. That was like 8 years ago and he only confessed this to me last year.


Anyway, Ricky Reps are just staying at an exercise/progression of an exercise until you feel that's good for the round. So for this one you might have it going on a round and get 4 pull-ups, then on the next one you only get 2, or a few kips and half pulls/holds. That's fine. Move on and come back to it next round

INTENDED STIMULUS

.

Yes, baby! This gorgeous workout is a 7K run for people that do not like to run. We have a basic mono-structural movement paired with the classic bodyweight CrossFit prescription. Forget about your Fran time and your muscle-ups. Master this workout and make sure you can carry some heavy loads quickly and far, and we can guarantee you your health will be in a good place. Keep in mind everything today is set up so that you can keep moving. Moreover,  everything is designed to help you keep up a good pace. This should not be a drag. If you have the strict gymnastics but they die soon,  consider adjusting the reps so that you can keep doing them at a healthy pace. Athletes that can confidently get six rounds or more should consider increasing the skill demands of the movements. No need to add weight, instead make you are challenging your shapes (our Option 1 is an example). Most athletes should aim to get around five rounds. Modify the distance in the rower if 500-m is going to take you longer than 2:30. This is an excellent workout to express your love for fitness. Move well, move efficiently, keep moving.



▶ OPTION 1 - Scale up!

Complete as many rounds as possible in 30 minutes of:  


500-m row 

3 sets of 

5 strict hollow body pull-ups
