I have been diabetic Type 2 since 2003 I was on Metformin 850mg at night and 60 units Actraphane. my symptoms were cold feet weather it was warm or cold my feet were always cold especially at night, I also had severe neausa from taking metformin so this year my family doctor decided I should try alternative treatment as Metformin caused severe side effects; I agreed and decided to start the Diabetes protocol offered at Uine Health Centre. my symptoms have greatly improved with no signs of blurred vision which I always seem to use to have or the frequent thirst. No more numbness of my feet I'm active again which has helped me loose weight. Since starting the diabetes formula my A1C is back to normal range and my blood sugars have stated normal. I'm surprised a lot of people with Diabetes T2 haven't heard of the formula. Visit uinehealth  centre. co m

This was a nasty little WOD.  The Tabata score makes it that much more difficult, since you have to seek to hold the first score you put up.  I did all 7's for the cleans, but that was nearly a mistake.  Backed off a little for the T2B, which was wise.  The first 7 was no problem, but by the end when I had lost the kip, it was 7 painful singles.  I started the last cleans with 6's for the first two cycles, but that seemed like a bad idea.  Backed off to 5's and was able to hold on, but barely. By the end, I could barely hold the DBs, and I was hooking.  Forearms are smoked - can barely type this now!

I have not worked on OHS in a long time! And I was never proficient at it! So I did something that would force the mechanics practice and also pump the heart:

5 rounds of
8 OHS (50lb barbell)
5 1-arm DB squat snatches, left (26lb)
5 1-arm DB squat snatches, right (26lb)
12:42

Then I did SLIPS in a 16-min free-form, switching from S to L to I to P for max hold at each station. Ended with Stretch for 4 minutes.

Very slow on the OHS/Snatch but at least I got in a bunch of reps in that most awkward position. Also, my quad-tendinitis is flaring up a bit.

Might want to relook at the selection of pic’s to represent this movement. The second frame suggests that the movement is driven by the lower back instead of the legs and hips. Maybe add a frame that shows the subject with a knee bend prior to the bent over still frame.

Was trying to focus on and work technique and midline strength but I ended up sweating pretty good!

and interestingly enough, there is not one study extolling the health benefits of sedentarism. Yet, there is still reluctance to get off the couch and move, really move. Dr. Eades is right. Walking may be a start for those who don't walk, but for the rest of us, it's about as effective as breathing for improving metabolic fitness.

O melhor curso da minha vida!! Parabí©ns a todos que participaram e em especial a equipe MARAVILHOSA que tornou esses dias INCRíVEIS! 

Thank you Reebok Crossfit Almere, Nolan, Oakley, Wesley and Dave for the interesting lectures and all the feedback you have given this weekend at the Level 1 course, I really enjoyed the weekend and have learned more than I hoped for! Hope to see you somewhere in the future for the next level! 

I am heartened that this review promotes the idea of high-intensity training as a better mode of treatment for the mitigation/ prevention/ treatment of diabetes and metabolic syndrome, but unfortunately the type of exercise commonly preached from the 'diabetes counsellor' pulpits across the country runs more toward the advice to 'take a 30 minute walk each day' and maybe 'add light hand weights' to the mix. While that's an acceptable starting point to begin to encourage people  to get up off the couch, walking at a modest pace is an almost completely oxidative endeavor at the muscle fiber level and won't do much to help improve metabolic fitness. A turn or two around the block (unless done at high intensity at least intermittently) recruits the type 1 and maybe type 2a muscle fibers, which burn fat aerobically as fuel.  It isn't until the intensity of the demand outstrips aerobic capacity that it will recruit the anaerobic/glucose-burning type 2b fibers. And that means a focus on Power and Intensity (especially using the biggest and most powerful muscles) is the prescription if the goal is improved metabolic (insulin-glucose) function. Deadlifts. Squats. Thrusters. Burpees. Or their scaled equivalents as ability dictates.

A big thanks to Cape CrossFit, Chris, Chris, Chad and Juria for a hugely rewarding weekend! Also to the other 11 "newbies", thanks for bringing such great "gees" to the seminar. It made the learning so much more fun. Look forward to catching up with you guys at various comps in the near future!

Raph, Elie & Davs, you guys were awesome! Loved the Level 2, really appreciate the feedback and lessons learned! 

Thank you Paris, I had a blast!
Seeing some old friends, making new ones, loved it! Pierrot I’ll come and visit! Dan/Brian, don’t change your lifestyle. ;-)

Did my Level 1 course in Cape Town this past weekend, people had told me what an incredible course it was but I really was amazed and so grateful I could experience it for myself. If I had thought I was passionate about Crossfit before this just reinforced all of my love  and excitement about it. I learnt a huge amount and gained so much from the weekend. Our "red shirts" seminar staff, Chris, Chris, Chad and Juria were all amazing in their own right. Their love for what they do shone through in all of their lectures and it really was inspiring to see just how deep their passion for Crossfit runs, it definitely rubbed off on all of us. For me personally I cannot wait to jump into the rest of my journey. Thanks guys! 

I solemnly swear that.. This weekend was Epic! Cape Town, South Africa! The instructors Chad, Chris Juria and Chris is amazing they have such a passion! Had an incredibly informative weekend and learned a lot! Thank you so much! :)

Schon wars!! Viel Erfolg für alle, die den Level 1 Kurs bei CrossFit BullsandBears in Frankfurt teilgenommen haben.  MfG Mac

Do we get 1min plus 10sec rest between Tabatas?

Great weekend with a great group of people in Cape Town, South Africa! Thank you for a fun weekend team! 

En Cancíºn se vivió de lo mejor este curso, aprendimos y reforzamos muchí­simas cosas y nos lo explicaron de la mejor forma mis respetos para Carlos, tefy, Fernando y a gente de mobyus que nos apoyaron Martha gracias . En serio que cuando yo ingresí© al CrossFit estaba muerto y con este curso nuevamente pienso que hay que renacer en las demí¡s gentes que no conocen de este programa . Coaches son de lo mejor bendiciones 

Eric and Becky crushed L2 we all left better coaches than when we started today. They kept it fun but damn they were tough on us for relentless pursuit of perfection which made it great..  Thanks for a great weekend!

What an amaizing weekend in Cape Town, South Africa! Learning more about my own technique and how to better coach others through the movements! The coaches' passion was so inspiring and it was awesome to tap into their knowledge.  And what a fun group to be a part of :)

I agree fully with the comments that Garrett and Suzanne mentioned, and I'll add my own piece as well. I felt the CrossFit community from the moment I walked in the door. Becky and Eric pushed us and expected a lot from us which was great. As we were a small group, we had plenty of opportunities to demo and get incredible feedback. I felt their guidance, passion, and expertise guide me to become a better coach and student of fitness. I look forward to applying the principles that I learned in a class environment. Thanks again to Becky, Eric, Crossfit Spearhead, and the rest of my classmates for such a great weekend! 

Halifax crew looks solid!

Loved the level 2 with Becky and Eric at Crossfit Spearhead.  Definitely felt a renewed desire to improve how I coach and help people progress towards improved health.

I received wonderful feedback and areas to focus on. I left with some new tools to use as well.  I highly recommend the level 2 course.  I'm very grateful for the amazing group and the 2 spectacular coaches leading it.

Champions Club Scaling Notes

RANT: 
A lot of Tabata is based on you being able to work for all 20 seconds… or at least most of it. When I coach track we use Tabata intervals pretty often with our distance runners because they get to go at a pace faster than they would while running a 2 mile, for example. It doesn’t work as well with sprinters because after like 2 sets it becomes a quick sprint then a jog… almost like that CrossFit Football inverse Tabata. That defeats the purpose, to me. I like to scale these so they can be done with the only rest being the 10 seconds (at least until the last set or two). And if that can’t be done, just do 1 minute stations because there will be built in rests between.

I SHOULD TRY THIS RX’D IF: I have the grip strength to go for 20 on/10 off

GROUP VERSION:  I think we’ll keep this as is because we scale range of motion bigtime on Toes to Bars. Dumbbell weights will be whatever, but keeping the legs straight, hinging at the hip, and keeping a consistent kip rhythm can get us a better response.

I’M ONLY HERE ONCE A WEEK AND THIS IS THE DAY VERSION: as is, or maybe 4 rounds of 1-minute at each station

INJURY VERSION:
Upper-body injury — one-arm clean/sit-up
Middle-body injury — muscle clean/plank
Lower-body injury — push-ups/toes to bar

WARMUP:
Squat — clean prep
Handstand — spend some time overhead
Box jump — landing prep
Kip — toes to bar prep
[insert thing you suck at]

GENERAL FEAR LEVEL (1=REST DAY, 10=PR-DRIVEN FGB):  7. Both sets of cleans can be rough if scaled right

Warm-up for 190902:
GENERAL WARM-UP

1 round of
Run 400 meters
20 cossack squats
30-second static hold bottom of a squat
10 scapular pull-ups
30-second reverse grip bar hang
10 air squats
10 hanging knee raises
10 inchworms + push-ups
5 strict pull-ups

SPECIFIC WARM-UP

Toes-to-bars
This warm-up is a break down of the 3-position toes-to-bar drill and focuses on linking toes-to-bar together by increasing the difficulty each set.
2 sets of 3 kip swings
2 sets of 1 kip swing + 1 feet to low target
2 sets of 1 kip swing + 1 feet to halfway-up target
2 sets of 1 kip swing + 1 feet to high target
2 sets of 3 toes to bar

Dumbbell squat clean
Use this progression to warm-up, refine, and scale the dumbbell squat clean.
Perform 5 reps at each step of the progression:
Dip and drives
Hang muscle cleans
Hang power cleans
Front squats
Hang squat cleans
*Start by using light dumbbells on the first set, increase the weight slightly on the second, and use the intended workout weight on the third set.

Any particular weight for the dumbbells?

Globo Scale-as Rx.  If you do not have a pullup bar (ie hotel gym) do tabata V-ups in place of ttb.  Keep it light ish on the db hang squat cleans. 

Eric and Becky have the Level 2 course down to a science. It was fun, informative, practical and thorough. The time was well spent and the 2 days went quickly. They prepared us well for the test, but more importantly reminded us how to pursue virtuosity and maintain CrossFit's high standard for coaching. 

INTENDED STIMULUS
.
This is a nasty sandwich of fitness. We are scoring the least number of reps per Tabata. This tells you we are aiming for consistency, and pacing. Now, this means two different things for each movement. In the cleans you can control the speed and the cadence. No need to go super fast, just hang on to the DBs and keep cleaning. If you need a minimal rest during the work-set make sure you do it with the bells on your shoulders to give your grip a break. The toes-to-bar on the other hand will reward you if you break them early and often, as long as your breaks are really minimal. Jump off the bar, and immediately jump back on. Keep at it. Today you choose the load. Pick something you feel confident you can cycle for 20+ reps unbroken when fresh. If stringing together toes-to-bar is not in your skills toolbox, then today scale to kipping leg raises, or a kipping leg raise combo.  This is a lung/leg burner as much as it is gripper. Stay disciplined and keep grinding!
