This 2015 review argues statins may increase risk of heart failure and atherosclerosis via artery calcification and detrimental impacts on muscle (including heart muscle) function. The authors discuss multiple mechanisms that lead to these outcomes, including inhibited synthesis of CoQ10 and heme A (critical components of the electron transport chain), selenoproteins, and vitamin K2, as well as the induction of mitochondrial dysfunction and ATP insufficiency.

i try with 275! and a i recibed down but y i can´t stand up.
Congratulations!
Never a good program for me when it's all about heavy bars. I'm small and skinny. But today was a breakthrough day!! Structured like this:
5 @ 100lbs
5 @ 105lbs
5 @ 110lbs
3 @ 115lbs
3 @ 120lbs
1 @ 125lbs
1 @ 130lbs
Then just keep going...
1 @ 135lbs
1 @ 140lbs
1 @ 145lbs (PR!)
1 @ 150lbs (PR again! And ABOVE bodyweight!!)
5 attempts at 155lbs all failed -- unable to get under the bar to squat position. Got really close on 2nd attempt but couldn't hang on.
This is the first time I have reached or exceeded bodyweight (147lbs) on a squat clean! Woo hoo!

Super weekend with a great bunch of people and a fantastically run course. Special thanks to Kat, Jonny and Karl our coaches who made it a very enjoyable experience and were very professional in their application and instruction of the course. 10/10. Also thanks to Crossfit Green, Dublin for the use of their facilities. 👏

Wishing everyone who took the test the best moving forward! No matter the results, no one can take what you learned! Apply it, practice it and continue on your fitness journey!
Awesome weekend at Crossfit Ambush!
Champions Club Scaling Notes
RANT:
(Note: I originally read this as the same as the Games clean ladder thing) Here we are again with the choice between doing a workout with Games standards meant for a competition vs. doing a workout as a part of a regular training program. We did 1 RM Clean and jerks the other day, and surely most people failed on the split jerk, so doing this just as a clean could be a little better for the ego. The prescribed weights (which are unreal, by the way) are signature to the top 10 fittest people on the planet. If you want to make it similar, pick some weights you’d like to hit, or do some math that would take me longer than it should based on what your max lift is compared to 385/260.
I SHOULD TRY THIS RX’D IF: I am one of the top 10 fittest people on the planet
GROUP VERSION:
Just regular max effort cleans. We’ve been using a time cap for sets so people at lighter weights can get more reps that helps technique. This way you can still keep an eye on everyone lifting.
I’M ONLY HERE ONCE A WEEK AND THIS IS THE DAY VERSION: Max effort days are tough for this category because it requires a lot of things a part-timer usually doesn’t have. So I’d try AMRAP in 20 minutes of 15 kb swings (or hang cleans, depending on technique), 15 box jumps, 30 squats.
INJURY VERSION (BASED ON ONCE-A-WEEK VERSION):
Upper-body injury — one-arm swing, everything else is fine
Middle-body injury — shift this to upper-body: 15 push-ups, 15 ring rows, 30-sec handstand hold
Lower-body injury — same as upper-body, maybe just sub hollow hold for hs hold
WARMUP:
Box jump — landing prep
Squat — hip prep
Push-up (reverse grip) — wrist prep for cleans
Kb swing — core to extremity prep
Jump rope — always
GENERAL FEAR LEVEL (1=REST DAY, 10=PR-DRIVEN FGB): 4
The Games are done! Congrats to Tia, Mat, and Mayhem! :D
Warm-up for 190805:
GENERAL WARM-UP
2 rounds of:
30-second squat hold
10 PVC pass-throughs
10 jumping air squats
Spider-man crawl, 10 steps
10 Medicine-ball cleans
SPECIFIC WARM-UP
Perform 2 rounds of 5 reps of each step using an empty barbell:
- Dip, drive, and shrug
- Muscle clean
- Front squat
- High hang clean
- Hang clean from mid-thigh
- Clean
Build up
Build up to first working set by doing sets of 3-3-2-2-1
> First working set should be challenging but allow for a gradual build up in the first few working sets
Nice warm-up
Thank you for your warm ups. I've been following them, they make my work outs a lot better.
Globo scale: If you have bumper plates, you can do this as Rxed. If you are working with iron plates or without bumpers, work to a heavy controlled single squat clean or hang squat clean, keeping the weight the same across the sets. If you are without a barbell today, then sub dumbbell squat cleans touch and go for max reps for 5 sets, resting as needed between sets.
The Games were awesome. I want to thank CrossFit and Olivia Leonard for their hospitality throughout the weekend. Also a big thank you to the vendors, athletes, and volunteers/staff. I look forward to working with you all throughout the future.
The dumbbell weights assumes a hotel gym or home gym with a max 50lb set of dumbbells. If you have access to heavier dumbbells just work up to a heavy controlled single until you max out the dumbbells, then do AMRAP sets for the remaining sets.
Thanks Steven! I will be working with dumbbells tomorrow. I have a set up to 75 lbs... So Set 1 of 5 - work up to a heavy 1RM. Then 4 sets of AMRAP with that weight? Or a percent of that 1RM?
Best to build up if they are heavy then AMRAP remaining sets with good form (max db weight added together is over 60%1rm). In your case If the 75 lb db's combined are under 60% of your 1rm, then just AMRAP each set touch and go with good form. Warm up and then do 5 amrap sets.
Roger that. Thanks bro 💪
