In my view, the JUPITER study is problematic from the very beginning, starting with its name.  When scientists plan a study, they start with an hypothesis. They then do their best to scrub all bias from from their research methodology.  In the case of the JUPITER study, the bias was right there front and center starting with the name, which is an acronym for Justification for the Use of Statins in Prevention: an Intervention Trial Evaluating Rosuvastatin.  In my opinion, that sort of tells the tale. The authors of the study, all statinators to their cores, want to justify the use of their favorite drugs.

Aside from the title, there are multiple other issues at play with this study.  One of the problems with statin studies in general is that although these drugs do seem to minimally reduce the rates of death from heart disease, they haven't been shown to reduce the all-important all-cause mortality.  In other words, they haven't reduced deaths overall.  Subjects taking statins die less frequently from heart attacks, but more frequently from other diseases.  So, in essence, taking a statin does not prolong life, but merely changes the agent of death.  The results of the JUPITER study did reduce all-cause mortality in those who took Crestor, which is why the community of statinators was over the moon with the results.  Finally, proof that a statin could prolong life.

Much though the statinating community would love to have us all taking statins daily, the JUPITER results are pretty limited.  They apply only to men over 50 or women over 60 who have normal LDL-colesterol levels (>130 mg/dl) AND elevated c-reactive protein.  These were the study subjects, and results from these subjects can't rationally be extrapolated to the population as a whole.  In fact, these parameters are unusual to say the least.  There were 17,802 subjects in the study gathered from 1315 sites spread across 26 countries.  Some quick math shows that each study site had an average of about 13 subjects.  These subjects weren't your average subject, and the results can't be assumed to hold for everyone everywhere.

When you look at the data from the study, you see that there were about 50 more deaths in the placebo arm of the study than from the arm in which Crestor was given.  A small, yet significant, difference.  But when you look at how the randomization shook out, you find some intriguing differences.  Although the researchers were careful to randomly distributed smokers between the two groups, they weren't so careful with other risk factors.  There were 51 more subjects with a family history of premature cardiovascular disease (probably the strongest risk factor for developing heart disease) in the placebo group.  And there were 71 more people with Metabolic Syndrome in the placebo group.  Just like the difference in 50 deaths between the two groups, these number are small, but it doesn't take but a few differences in deaths to whittle that 50 subject difference down to something that is no longer statistically significant.  Having 51 more people with bad family history and 71 more with Metabolic Syndrome (another major risk factor for heart disease) might be enough to radially alter the outcome of this study statistically speaking.

A strange finding in this study was that those taking the Crestor - a potent statin - had no more reported side effects than those taking a placebo.  Very strange indeed.  Muscle aches are one of the most common side effects experienced by those taking statins.  In the JUPITER study, there were only 10 subjects out of around 9,000 taking Crestor who reported muscle pain as compared to 9 subjects in the control group.  This is extremely difficult for me to reconcile with the reality of the statistics on statin users and muscle pain.

One of the downsides of the study from the Crestor perspective was that subjects taking Crestor developed diabetes at significantly higher rates than those taking placebo.

The most bizarre part of this study was that the authors terminated it right in the middle.  The reason given was that to continue the study would have been unethical as so many people in the placebo group were dying.  Sometimes trials are stopped prematurely when it is discovered that subjects on the study medication are dying at unacceptable rates, but this is the only one I can think of that was stopped because subjects on the placebo had a minimally greater rate of death.

Since the subjects on Crestor were developing diabetes at greater rates than those on placebo, and a point had been reached at which the small differences in death rates had reached statistical significance, it does make me wonder if either of those issues drove the termination.  Since the JUPITER study was published, we've learned a lot about Big Pharma fiddling with studies in one way or another.  The strange way in which this study was handled certainly gives me pause.

Prior to the 'vaunted' Jupiter trial, Crestor had not been shown to do diddly in preventing MIs or cardiac deaths. And that was a problem for them, but they dutifully spun their way around that sticky wicket:

Language embedded in their own ad in AARP magazine in September and October 2005, admitted: 'Crestor is prescribed along with diet for lowering high cholesterol and has not been determined to prevent heart disease, heart attacks, or strokes.' 

Of course, those same hard endpoints were the specific outcome measures laid out at the start of 2008 Jupiter trial. The name of the trial gives you a clear clue to the underlying bias of the investigators (and possibly even some on the IRB) from the get go. Justification for the Use of Statins in Prevention: an Intervention Trial Evaluating Rosuvastatin. When you start a study by naming it 'Justification for (fill in the blank)' that sure shows your open-minded posture.

So off they went on their Justification Quest, but it stopped short. Why?
 
You stop if you're trying to 'justify' selling a drug whatever the outcome. Especially when, coincidentally, there was a slight, slight, ever so slightly increased benefit in the treatment group at that point, an effect that might well have vanished were the study to have gone to its conclusion. To be fair the benefit might have gotten stronger or stayed the same, too. We don't know because what began as a 5-year study was truncated after 2 years 'because the drug's overwhelming efficacy had been proven'.  Well that and the inescapable specter of significantly higher rates of developing diabetes in those who took it compared to those on placebo. And who knows what that tendency would have looked like carried out to the full original 5-year length?

To be sure, a drug's showing minimal actual efficacy (albeit in a narrowly defined group of men over 50 and women over 60 who had normal LDL cholesterol AND elevated C-reactive protein but no identifiable systemic inflammatory disorders) while possibly causing diabetes in the treatment group is an excellent reason to interrupt a trial less than half way to the end. 

Bringing out the drug as safe and beneficial to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, or death for all people of all ages anywhere in the world anyway is just flatly wrong. How many doctors have prescribed it and how many 'healthy' patients have taken it secure in their minds that it would safely reduce the risk of a heart attack? Millions, I would imagine.

A 2010 critical reappraisal of JUPITER noted several of these significant concerns. 

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20585068 

From the abstract, 

"The trial was flawed. It was discontinued (according to prespecified rules) after fewer than 2 years of follow-up, with no differences between the 2 groups on the most objective criteria. Clinical data showed a major discrepancy between significant reduction of nonfatal stroke and myocardial infarction but no effect on mortality from stroke and myocardial infarction. Cardiovascular mortality was surprisingly low compared with total mortality-between 5% and 18%-whereas the expected rate would have been close to 40%. Finally, there was a very low case-fatality rate of myocardial infarction, far from the expected number of close to 50%. The possibility that bias entered the trial is particularly concerning because of the strong commercial interest in the study.

CONCLUSION:
The results of the trial do not support the use of statin treatment for primary prevention of cardiovascular diseases and raise troubling questions concerning the role of commercial sponsors."

What is interesting is that the prevalence of statin use has nevertheless only continued to increase, with approximately 1/3 of the U.S. adult population currently on a statin drug :/

Intended Stimulus
.
Muscle failure day. Today we want to find the limits of our capacity. We want to see how many bodyweight bench presses we can do with optimal mechanics. Same goes for pull ups. Beware both of these movements will allow us to squeeze some questionable reps if we wanted to. Today let's own these movements. If bodyweight is to heavy for you -i.e. 4 reps or less-, it probably means you will not have full control over those reps. You will get them, but they might not be as productive as they could. Deload a little and get a set of ten solid reps in which the eleventh fails, not because of broken mechanics but because your muscle just can't produce any more force. Same applies for pull ups. Today, tame the ego and preserve the stimulus, you will be so proud when you finish, the arm pump will be barely noticeable. Athletes that have never tested their 1RM on a bench press can do Option 2. 
.
Option 1
.
3 rounds for max reps of:
Bench presses @77% of 1RM
Strict pull ups (assist with band as needed)
.
Option 2
3 rounds
12-15 repetitions bench press (for load)
Max strict pull ups (assist with box or band)

I'll treat this workout similar to the classic "Lynne" workout...a relatively quick transition between the bench press and strict pull-ups, then rest as needed. Here are some other thoughts on this one:
Bench Press: The loading here is intended to be moderate. I will have nearly all athletes utilize a load that allows them to complete between 6-15 reps. If an athlete has a personal goal of attempting the body-weight bench press, but the reps will be 5 reps or less, they’ll attempt the body-weight load on the first set and likely reduce load for the remaining sets. 

Strict Pull-ups: Similar to the bench press, I will have nearly all athletes utilize a strict pull-up variation that allows them to get at least 6 reps. For an athlete that can do strict pull-ups, but may not get more than 6 reps, I will have them attempt the first set unassisted before potentially using assistance on the remaining sets. The first option, for athletes that cannot perform strict pull-ups, will be to have them utilize band assistance that allows them to achieve 6-15 reps. The second option, I will utilize, will be to have the athlete perform slow eccentric pull-ups. This would be completed by having the athlete perform 3-5 reps each set, where they jump their chin above the bar before lowering in 3-5 seconds, under control, each rep.  Controlling the total volume is very important when prescribing eccentric pull-ups, so 5 reps will be the maximum I will allow per set.

Champions Club Scaling Notes

STIMULUS:
Any time you don’t see something like “Post rounds to comments” or “Post time to comments” you should automatically think “For Quality.” Another term for that could be “Strength Day.” And there’s a million ways to develop strength, which is why I don’t like to label these days as “Strength Days” but going slow, maintaining positions, and resting as needed is one of the most fool-proof ways of doing it. Today is your day to be a bro. This is Lynn without the extra two rounds of rhabdo. But this is a great opportunity to see how your strict pull-up work has been doing, as well as the slow push-ups and handstands. I rarely talk about scaling weights here because I feel that’s a given; if you know that bodyweight bench or strict pull-ups are new for you, do a warmup set with each just to appease your ego, then drop the weights/scale the pull-ups so you can get the Death To The Arms feel for this one. 3 pull-ups and 5 bench presses per round probably won’t do that. Max reps also means there’s more emphasis on stamina, which is a component of fitness that I often overlook. Take a minute to think about what fatigues first on a run: legs or lungs. Same for push-ups: arms or lungs? Usually it’s the muscles that go before the lungs. So this is an opportunity to practice that also.

GROUP:
We’re low on benches, so floor press is our go-to. And to keep things more cohesive, I’ll probably do timed stations instead of unbroken sets (except for like 2 kids). Max reps in 1:30 at each station with a 1:30 rest in between. Pull-ups will also be self-scaling in this sense, meaning they can hang, half-pull, kip, or whatever makes them feel like their arms are frying out. For the people doing 10+ strict pull-ups, their abs should feel fatigued as well (so should the butt on the bench press).

WARMUP:
Push-ups — prep for position
Kip — overhead shape and staying fresh on the skill
Jump rope — always
L-sit — because Coach says (they’re working, by the way)
Squat — good diagnostic to see how normal you are (or dys-normal, as Kelly says)

KEY MATCHUP: the last rep or two of each pull-up set vs. your natural desire to kip and chicken neck

SCALING THIS WELL WILL CAUSE ME TO: pretend like I’m going to the bathroom for a Kleenex but really just trying to find the nearest mirror to admire my arm veins.

GENERAL FEAR LEVEL (1=REST DAY, 10=PR-DRIVEN FGB): 3. Max reps sucks, but much less than lungs exploding, plus strict movements are more limited than strict ones.
