I wonder why there isn't a standard statistic way to analyze data. I mean why can you get away with tricking the public because you choose to talk about the 5 of reduction of the risk rather then the absolute risk. It should be monitory to give a absolute risk on 100 people and then to weight that risk agains the side affects (also absolute risk on 100 people).

Hello, My name is Faith am from USA ..... and I am very happy for posting on this blog on how a great spell caster helped me bring back the love of my life. I know there are lots of women like me out there who have done so much just to have back their Husband, I am here to tell you all to search no further because the answer is right here. I sincerely believe if there are up to five spell casters like DOCTOR WTAHA this world would be a better place, I contacted him and shared my problems to him and he gave me the terms and conditions, which I obeyed, it only took 3 days for my husband to come back home begging for my forgiveness. To cut the long story short. I am now living happily with my husband. Thanks to Dr TWAHA . Contact him now on email: drlregbeyen10000@gmail.com . Or reach him on whats app +2349038518881 or call him . He can save your marriage or relationships too.

Tuesday was a travel day back from skiing / Colorado. Scaled subbed today, Thursday, as follows:

20 cal elliptical Level 12 = 500m rowing (about 2 mins)

Thrusters @ 75lbs (can do 10+ unbroken)


15:14


8:31 total elliptical time and 6:43 thrusters (and heavy breathing) time. Might have tried heavier but I wanted as many unbroken thrusters, with no more than 3 segments per round.

Rower still down so I was going to just sub running, but thought running up & down steps for the same time frame would be more fun. 🤔 Thrusters always make me miss burpees.

Sumo deadlift high pull with 45# bar or kettlebell. Or maybe some kettlebell swings.

500m=50 sdhp

1000m=100sdhp

Intended Stimulus

This is a medium to long effort. The mix of a heavy barbell and high reps, with short and medium distances on the rower will make this a highly demanding workout. Choose a weight for the thusters that you feel confident you can do for 15+ unbroken quality reps when fresh. If you cannot get get into a great front rack position with the barbell, work with a heavy pair of dumbbells. Don't fall in the trap of rowing too hard, and make sure your moving with style. This is one beast of a workout. Enjoy!

.

Option 1

For time:

Row 500 meters

21 thrusters

Row 1,000 meters

15 thrusters

Row 500 meters

21 thrusters


Men: 95 lb.

Women: 65 lb.

.

Option 2

For time:

Row 500 meters

21 dumbbell thrusters

Row 1,000 meters

15 dumbbell thrusters

Row 500 meters

21 dumbbell thrusters


Men: 35lbs

Women: 20lbs

newby here. Not an usual crossfitter, just a regular gym guy. Also not a beginner, gym x4 times per week, have completed marathons, etc...

Should have read your comment first... This WOD is a beast!

Tried to use the prescribed weight and almost fainted after the second set of thrusters. Still I pushed hard and was able to complete it in about 40mins. pretty sad time...

Worth pointing out that the study did not study patients with a normal HS-CRP (less than 2). Significant, because the test is being recommended as the basis for prescribing the drug, but didn't examine the data for patients with normal levels? This seems like a particularly selective inclusion criteria. Also, the PI of this study owned the patent for HS-CRP test; mentioned in the article yesterday.

This was certainly one of the most problematic elements of JUPITER, and was addressed directly in a critical 2013 review:


https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1179/1077352512Z.0000000008?journalCode=yjoh20


(This itself was one among many, some of which were mentioned in comments yesterday:

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

https://jaoa.org/article.aspx?articleid=2093989

)


This huge trial, with the obvious conflict of interest you noted, tried to simultaneously establish hs-CRP as a risk marker for heart disease AND demonstrate the effectiveness of lowering it, such that rosuvastatin could be prescribed on the basis of hs-CRP alone. I'm not aware of precedent for this sort of investigation, but a single trial could not possibly be optimized to do both effectively.


As the third of those links above argued, existing risk marker profiles (which, of course, themselves have challenges, but also represent a basis for analysis) suggest hs-CRP alone may not have had an independent impact on baseline risk or the risk reduction associated with rosuvastatin.


"Rosuvastatin is not a new drug and hs-CRP is not a new biomarker. Statins have most likely been lowering hs-CRP levels since their inception."


I acknowledge that it's been a few years since much of this data came out, and subsequent evidence could have strengthened the case for hs-CRP as the basis for a pharmaceutical indication...but it would be dangerous to argue JUPITER alone made the case for it, given the evidence available at the time and the caveats that must be applied to that evidence.

Ouch, 2,000 meters of rowing and 57 thrusters at 135/95! This is guaranteed to pack a punch. I recommend starting off a little conservative on this one. For example, if your max capacity is 15 thrusters consecutively at 135, consider doing sets of 7 reps, with 3-5 breaths rest between sets, to accumulate 21 reps. This helps me keep a more consistent pace throughout these types of workouts.

Here are some thoughts on scaling:

Rowing: I will have most of my athletes complete the entire distance, on each row effort. In some cases, I will 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 500 meters in over 2:30, I will consider reducing the distance of each row effort or have them row for a set duration on each effort.


Thrusters- I consider the prescribed weight to be moderate, but very challenging for the number of reps to be completed! My first scaling option will be reducing the load and performing the prescribed reps. I will utilize loads with my athletes that will allow them to complete 10-15 reps consecutively, or allows the first set to be completed with no more than 2 quick rest breaks. During the build-up, each athlete will perform 3-5 reps at their intended work weight. This will allow me to determine if the loading is appropriate for the workout. I will only scale the reps on an individual basis, most likely for the very new or extremely deconditioned.


Equipment Considerations- This workout can be hard to run, in a group class, due to being limited on the number of rowers. Consider altering the workout to preserve as much of the intended stimulus as possible. Here are a couple examples:

Individual Workout Option

For time:

Row 2,000 meters

50 Thrusters (135/95)

*This workout can be run in heats: When someone finishes the row, a new person starts. For this example, I reduced the total volume of the thrusters, as arranging the workout in this fashion will make the thrusters more challenging. However, you can easily keep the total volume, but I might recommend reducing the load slightly to a 115/75 prescription.


Partner Workout Option

For reps:

Partner 1 rows 500 meters while partner 2 is performing thrusters. Then, partner 2 rows 500 meters while partner 1 is performing thrusters. Continue in this fashion for the 1,000 meter row section and the final 500 meter row section. If you want to make this a competition, the athlete with the most thrusters is the winner.

Globo scale: As Rxed. If no rower available, run 400m/800m/400m outside, on a track, or treadmill with slight incline, assault bike 25/50/25 calories, or sub 75/150/75 double unders (2/1 single unders). If you're without a barbell use 60/40lb dumbbells, or 50s if that's the heaviest available.

Champions Club Scaling Notes


STIMULUS:

“Whoa Nelly,” said Keith Jackson. I am going to call this one Just a Workout because high intensity is not going to be an option, and it’s definitely not meant to be a For Quality kind of one either. Nope, Just A Workout. One of the worst looking Just A Workouts in recent memory. Just remember that these workouts are designed to, over time, exceed the capacity of the world’s fittest athletes. Exceed, not meet. So are you the fittest athlete on the planet? No? Well then scale away.


GROUP:

Considering this one is not For Quality, it would be good to look for athletes decomposing in front of your eyes. Examples would be: 3 thrusters at a time before setting it down, run/row pace decreasing to where it’s noticeable, or major form breakdown on either. Even though an athlete can row 1,000 meters doesn’t mean it’s going to get the best workout effect for them. Somewhere in the 20-minute ballpark would be a good target for most people.


WARMUP:

Jump rope — always

Kb swing — butt back while going fast

Squat — obviously

Kipping pull-ups — try to spend some time hanging every day

Candlestick — prep for rowing


KEY MATCHUP: the hips’ loading order vs. the fast, heavy descent of the thruster


SCALING THIS WELL WILL CAUSE ME TO: take no more than 4 rests all workout


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL (1=REST DAY, 10=PR-DRIVEN FGB): 8. Well at least there’s that round of nine to look forward to… oh wait…


GENERAL EMASCULATING LEVEL (1=WHO DOES RING HSPU ANYWAY?, 10=THIS TEENAGE GIRL IS DEADLIFTING MORE THAN ME): 6. Might be tempted to go at this rx’d, but if it takes you 27 minutes it might have been better off to scale down a bit
