I would love to see the type of food recommendations the doctors do for different types of illness. I understand everyone is different but it would be pretty cool to just see what has been tried.

There's a fundamental difference between the relatively broad, blunt impact of dietary and lifestyle interventions that, compared to the highly targeted nature of drugs, probably explains both their safety and their positive "side effects." Any drug is designed to upregulate or downregulate a very specific pathway or molecule. They are fundamentally designed to overcome our body's build in regulatory mechanisms and force it to behave in an unusual way. Obviously these targeted interventions can have massive benefits, but broader clinical impact is difficult to separate from increased clinical risk. Diet and lifestyle interventions, on the other hand, work with the regulatory mechanisms we have in place. Even something extreme like a ketogenic diet is just artificially placing our body within a metabolic situation it has built-in tools to handle. As a result, we can target fundamental metabolic processes and molecules - things like hormone and lipid levels, that underpin our health and unhealth across multiple organ systems - in ways more effective and, I'd argue, safer than by doing the same with a drug. (I find it hard to believe, for example, that a drug that somehow suppressed blood glucose levels sufficiently to induce ketosis would be as safe as a ketogenic diet) That's all a bit speculative, but the unique effectiveness of dietary interventions in conditions like epilepsy - where diet creates durable benefits drugs cannot - seems to speak to something like this. What's exciting about the research coming out these days is we're gathering clinical evidence to show that diet, when applied properly, CAN prevent, treat and even cure disease at a level of effectiveness that we've only studied clinically before with drugs. I look forward to seeing this evidence base continue to grow as we find new ways diet can safely augment the targeted value of modern medicine.

This workout is a nice complement to the upper-body dominant gymnastics session yesterday. Today will be a great day to attempt a new back squat personal best or just get some volume under heavy loads. I will use results from the prior effort, on 190428, to help manage loads. A good starting point could be to have the first set start at 85-90% of a previous 1-rep max, which will require adequate build-up time. I will not alter the rep scheme for most of my athletes. However, some of my newer athletes might not be skilled or strong enough to fully benefit from heavy singles. For these athletes, I may have them do sets of 3 to 5 reps at submaximal loads. This can potentially be more beneficial and allow for more practice time with the movements. During the workout, weight reductions may be needed for athletes that begin to display significant deviations from sound mechanics or start to shorten their range of motion.

Hi everyone Can someone please send me a video with demonstration about WOD 190701? in my understanding I have to do Back squad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ultWZbUMPL8 So I do one rep and do: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WgXaf7g0Pyo then: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Arh2Q_prqvw and so do it all again for 5 reps or until fatigue/fail???

John, the wod calls for single heavy lifts. Do a general warm up, then specific warm up (deadlifts) with progressively heavier lifts until you get near your max (>80%). Then you do singles for the real work of a 1 rep max lift. If you are new to deadlifting you may be better served using a more moderate weight for 5 sets of 5 (5x5).

CF-L1 Grand Blanc, MI The level 1 training course at the 810 gym was everything and more then I could of imagined. Joe, Jen, and Kolin were amazing instructors, coaches, and role models! They did such a great job leading the class in lecture, technique, movements, scaling, coaching, and helping answer any questions we had. They made it such a fun and welcoming learning expierence. I walked out of there learning a lot and feeling so inspired! I cant for all the new journeys ahead!

CrossFit NOLA in New Orleans L1 Course was an awesome experience! The coaches were the best and I have walked away feeling so much more confident with everything I have learned this weekend! I don't think I could have picked a better time or place to have started this journey.

Scaled to 5reps: 55/65/75/85/95/105/115# Stretch and scales also. Switched to higher reps so I could keep the weight lower. Knee & back are getting better! Not bad for a two a day, no time tomorrow.

INTENDED STIMULUS Let's start this week strong! It has been a while since we squatted heavy not in the context of a CrossFit total. That means you don't need to worry about anything else but squatting. Today you will have time to warm up that movement really, really well. Treat each repetition as if it were your max. Don't wait for the bar to be heavy to act like it is. Respect all the weights and use your sets to really dial in your movement. You want to arrive to those five singles ready, excited, and confident. From then just squat with fire and love. Trust your body: it will know what to do. Remind yourself of one thing: you want the heaviest squat you have today with awesome mechanics. If that is a PR, so be it, if not it does not matter. The purpose is not to best yourself, it's to lift the heaviest you can today. For athletes struggling with form remember this: loading a movement challenges and reinforces whatever motor pattern you are capable of, so loading crummy mechanics will challenge and reinforce them. If you need to develop your technique that should be your focus today. The options below might help you! OPTION 1 For athletes with good movement patterns but not familiar with going super heavy. Back squat 5-5-5-5-5 reps Keep adding weight while your movement is solid. If at any point you feel a big deviation in mechanics, end your set, deload and move on the next one. OPTION 2 A. Tabata of air squats to a target B. 5 supersets 30 seconds bottom of the squat hold 30 seconds arch/superman hold rest 1:00 between super sets C. 5 supersets 3 bottom-to-bottom squats 3 super-slow squats rest 1:00 between supersets NOTE ON MOVEMENTS Bottom-to-bottom squats: Lower to full squat position (thighs parallel to floor or below), hold for a full ten seconds, rise and immediately upon full extension of hip and leg return to bottom and hold for ten seconds. Super-slow squats: Take twenty seconds to reach bottom and twenty seconds to reach top again. NOTE ON STRETCHING Check the Youtube video: "Super Squat Hip Sequence pre-workout | Feat. Kelly Starrett | MobilityWOD". This is now a classic mobilization for squats. Try it! And since you are already on the YouTubes, check the video: "CrossFit - "Just Squat" with Greg Glassman"

Globo scale: if you have access to a barbell and rack/rig, this one is as Rxed. Remember to use a spotter, spotter arms/pins, or bumper plates (for dumping) for safety reasons. For those of you in a hotel gym or gym without a barbell, you have a few options. 1. Smith machine squats (not optimal but allows for heavy loads). 2. A weighted dumbbells single leg movement (pistol squat, box/bench step up, Bulgarian split squat, or lunge), work to a heavy set of 3-5 on each leg. 3. Work on pistols or progressions today.

Thanks Bryan, how does a newbie go about selecting weights for all these weighted ones?

Champions Club Scaling Notes: RANT: I don't know why but I had a feeling this was going to come up (I didn't look ahead, either). We have been getting crushed with some of these workouts recently - especially in terms of volume - and going for a nice 1-rep max can serve as a recovery as well as a test. All of the scales can act as a skill transfer to the back squat if you use critical thinking. Start from the feet and work your way up and see what connections you make. For the group, don't feel married to the 1 rep sets, or even the back squat in general. A squat is a squat. Front squat, overhead squat, and deadlift all might be better options if you are short on racks and wanted to do a weighted squats. If the weight won't get heavy enough, add a small dose of fatigue (like 8 fast burpees before a set) and see how 135-lbs. can feel like 300.
