Fructose Ingestion Acutely Elevates Blood Pressure in Healthy Young Humans

3

In this small study, fructose consumption led to significantly greater increases in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure than consumption of glucose or water, and both glucose and fructose led to increased heart rate. Both fructose and glucose also led to a temporary increase in resting energy expenditure. The researchers note the differences in vascular responses to fructose and glucose ingestion might be due to their differing effects on insulin.

looking at some of the times here I highly doubt some folks did hip back extensions (no momentum) properly.

"disclosure of methods, results, and criticisms, and we’ve employed the Internet (and various intranets) to support these values. Our charter is open source, making co- developers out of participating coaches, athletes, and trainers through a spontaneous and collaborative online community. CrossFit is empirically driven, clinically tested, and community developed."


CrossFit brought Open source to fitness and that is one of the main reason for it's success. CrossFit in my mind is arguably the only contribution that is meaningful since the beginning of "modern sport science".

Really enjoy these simple videos. Just like we define Fitness, it is so important to know the real definition of the words we use and tend to miss use in our daily life. This helps me articulate my thoughts better and more importantly develops my understanding of science.

On top of it's correlation to fatty liver, fructose doesn't have a lot going on for itself! Thanks for posting this article.

Subbed 1,000m run. With 20# weight vest, time — 26:12.


It’s the second annual #weightvestmonth! We’ve had a lot of rowing lately, and I’m trying to get a bit more running in, so I swapped those. Runs were each ~5:30, about 8:45/mile pace. Second and third runs felt better than the first — maybe was getting used to the vest. The rest of the work was no big deal — but the vest made GHDs a little spicy near the end.

Got an asthma attack at the end of round 1 so I couldn’t really get a full breath. All hip/back extensions broken into 2 or 3 sets. First two sets of sit-ups broken into 2, then 3 sets to catch my breath. Last set unbroken with no sign of abdominal fatigue.

Replaced shoulder is acting up so no pulling or pushing with arm. Subbed 1.35mi bike for each row. Bikes were 4:01, 4:20, and 4:15 which is probably seconds more than the rows would have been. I think it was a good sub for me.

Those Hip/Back Extension start to burn on like rep 7. I took a quick two deep breath break at rep 12 each round. I was able to do the GHD Sit-ups unbroken, which for me is incredible. I again credit the l-sit holds.

Champions Club Scaling Notes


Lost on a half court buzzer beater last night, and figured I'd sleep on it before writing this so I'd be in a better mood. (I wrote the GHD thing a while ago). Sorry for the lateness.


STIMULUS: Another in the theme for the year dealing with having a slow, “strength” segment mixed in with an endurance segment within each round. I am wondering if all the rowing is being considerate of the cold-weather people, or if it has to do with Coach’s old saying about the C2 bringing even the best athletes to tears (probably butchered the saying). I wouldn’t necessarily call this “Just a Workout” because I think, as opposed to the row/Cindy one, it would be good to hit the row at a pace faster than what you’re comfortable with. At least for the first round. Then use that fatigue to test your form. Midline stability is simply the ability to control your midline in any situation in any movement. So as you’re gasping for air and your legs are screaming at you, can you control every inch of the spine on the hip/back extension? Then can you keep it still in the opposite orientation with the GHD sit-up? Oh you can? Sweet! Now do it two more times.


GROUP: See the above post for notes on the multi-person GHD we built. The hip/back extensions are something I like to procrastinate on having our athletes do. The thing I value above almost anything is an athlete who I can turn my back on while they’re deadlifting and know their spine won’t change. this takes years to develop for some people and it needs to be reinforced any time we get a chance. When the back/hip extensions come up, I like to do just hip extensions for about 95% of the gym. I’m sure I’m missing out, but that’s my goal. I think our training should be movement-based, meaning we prioritize developing movement patterns over developing musculature. So I would think hip extension before hip/back extension. I’d also like to spend more time on running technique here (or rowing, if you have enough rowers) than I normally would.


WARMUP:

Hip extensions — knock this technique out of the way here to save time for row/run tech later

GHD sit-up — same

Running jump rope — running prep or just good for warming up

Pistol (or lunge) — foot/hip prep for running, or just good to practice

L-sit — because they seem to be important


KEY MATCHUP: the first 200-meters of the row/run vs. the last 21 GHD sit-up reps


SCALING THIS WELL WILL CAUSE ME TO: be out of breath going into the hip/back extensions


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL (1=REST DAY, 10=PR-DRIVEN FGB): 6. Fast run/row sucks. For quality movements make it a little better.


GENERAL EMASCULATING LEVEL (1=WHO DOES RING HSPU ANYWAY?, 10=THIS TEENAGE GIRL IS DEADLIFTING MORE THAN ME): 6. Not much to scale in terms of weight/reps, but 15 hip/back extensions sound a lot easier than they will be.

Globo scale: if you have a GHD, do this as RXed or scale appropriately per other posts . If not, it's time to get creative. For GHD situps, use 2 dumbbells, a couple of flat weight plates, and a bench. Put the plates under the bench to raise it higher; slip your feet under the dbs, and have your butt on the bench, with your body perpendicular to the bench. Now do a full situp. If that doesn't work, do weighted abmat situps. For the hip-back extensions, a Roman chair or back extension device will work. If this,is not available, do 2/1 empty barbell good mornings and 1/1 controlled Russian kettlebell swings (moderate).

A GHD SOLUTION FOR AFFILIATE OWNERS AND GHD-LESS GARAGE GYM DWELLERS


I kinda wanted to wait to do a post on this until the right workout, and I figured this was as good as it would get. In 2014 a teen from our gym (one of those robotics/nerd-types who also happened to drink a lot of whole milk as a kid) designed and built a 10-person, double-sided GHD machine out of wood. It was during that winter string where every single workout seemed to have GHD sit-ups or hip extensions in them, and I was getting so freaking annoyed with having to do med-ball sit-ups, or regular sit-ups, or whatever. So I came to him (Ryan) with the idea and he made it happen. It has been a lifesaver ever since and allows us to do any rep scheme of GHDs in workouts without thinking twice. I attached a picture and video below, both links are w/f safe.

https://youtu.be/_uN6rKwtQeU?t=1m47s


I am about as useful as the rest periods in Tabata push-ups when it comes to building things and using tools (better to have it than not, but not useless after a certain point), so I wish I could give you better instructions. But here’s some basic dimensions:


Base — 8ft. wide x 6’7” feet long

Benches — 10ft. long, 3’3” off the ground

Shorter side — 2’8” from middle of bench to foot board

Taller side — 3’0” from middle of bench to foot board

Foam — 6” thick, pretty sturdy, costs way more than foam should cost


The overall cost of this was $430. The freaking foam was like 300 of it. But anyway, this is a big space saver and also opened so many more opportunities once it was finished. Doing GHD stuff in a warmup is way different than doing it in a workout. Getting in and out can be tricky in big groups, and this one is not individually adjustable (though Ryan did design one that is), but our peeps are used to it and I just wanted to share it with you folks.

Mike, we tried when we first did it - Ryan made a metal design that was kind of like the Infinity Rig where you could keep adding on segments and such. They said it was too complicated to ship and manufacture on a large scale.


We made two more half models that we bolted to the wall and floor for two local high schools. Both of them ended up not using them much and turned them into football sleds haha.

Here are some thoughts on scaling this workout:


Rowing- Similar to the workout from last Friday, I will have most of my athletes complete the full distance. In some circumstances, I’ll use time guidelines to assess when reducing distance may be beneficial. For example, if I have an athlete that is likely to row the initial 1,000 meters in over 5 minutes I will consider reducing the distance each round. For athletes that are beginners or de-conditioned, I will likely reduce the distance each round or have them row for a designated time duration each round.


Back-hip extensions- If you have never seen or executed this movement before, here is a video with a demonstration and primary points of performance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdCzafAXJhY. Do not sacrifice quality for speed on this movement. This exercise is very demanding when done correctly and most of my athletes will need to scale the movement or reduce the reps. For athletes that need to scale, but have some experience, I will most likely scale to a GHD back extension https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMyFXMZ6Ch0. I will have them focus on a controlled movement and proper execution on flexing and extending the trunk, correctly. For new athletes, I will likely have them perform a GHD hip extension https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7X075Hrl5lE. I will have them perform this in a controlled fashion with the primary focus being on flexing and extending at the hip while keeping the trunk static.

As a general guideline, if an athlete can perform 25 consecutive and controlled hip extensions, I will have them attempt back extensions today. If an athlete has the capacity to perform 25 hip extensions and 25 consecutive and controlled back extensions, I may have them attempt the back-hip extension today. I will scale the reps on an individual basis if needed.


GHD Sit-ups- Although I consider the volume of this movement to be reasonable due to a long duration between efforts, I will still take a cautious approach. Most people do not have a lot of exposure to this exercise and a factor I will be mindful of is how the other movements will impact performance on the GHD sit-up. Here’s a quick video for proper execution of the movement: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pbZ8mX2D1U. For athletes that have experience with this movement and have demonstrated capacity to complete more than 25 reps consecutively, I may have them perform the workout as prescribed. For experienced athletes that have not had recent exposure to the movement, I will most likely scale to a ½ range of motion GHD sit-up, where they lower their torso parallel to the floor. For athletes that are new or de-conditioned, I will most likely modify the movement to a straight-leg abmat sit-up, where the finish position is achieved when the hands touch the toes. Some may need a reduction in reps and potentially range of motion. This will be done on an individual basis.

Intended Stimulus

.

This is a long effort. It will put great demands on both your aerobic and anaerobic capacity. It is a beautifully designed core workout that will work flexion/extension in the back and hips in both a slow and controlled way and using power. Keep in mind that the hip-back extensions are meant to be "strict", so even though this is still for time, prioritize control over speed. Athletes with access to a GHD machine should choose a number of reps that allows them to go unbroken or with at most one break on the GHD. Athletes new to a GHD should choose modifications and avoid this apparatus. These athletes should use any post-workout time to familiarize themselves with the GHD, and start building their capacity with it.

.

OPTION 1

3 rounds for time of:

1,000-meter row

12 hip-back extensions (no momentum)

15 GHD sit-ups


or


3 rounds for time of:

1,000-meter row

12 Jefferson curls @45lbs

12 seated good mornings @95lbs

21 AbMat sit-ups

.

OPTION 2


3 rounds for time of:

800-meter row

9 Jefferson curls @35lbs

9 seated good mornings @75lbs

18 AbMat sit-ups
