Fasting, Fats, and Physics: Combining Ketogenic and Radiation Therapy Against Cancer

This 2017 review summarizes the potential of a ketogenic diet to enhance the effects of radiotherapy. Radiotherapy is constrained by the damage it causes to healthy cells. As a result, any simultaneous treatment that can either increase the damage radiotherapy does to cancer cells or protect healthy cells from damage may increase its effectiveness. Potential benefits of a ketogenic diet alongside radiotherapy include the reduction of cancer cells’ ability to repair DNA, the slowing of tumor growth and repopulation, and the protection of healthy cells against the harms of radiotherapy by shifting them from an anabolic/growth-centric state to a non-dividing state.

This. 55. 60. 62.5. 65. 65kg. Wanted to do more at 65 but was a little wobbly so will take a small win.

Prev. 50. 55. 60. 62.5. 62.5kg

Opened with 10 mins of SLIPS E30on30. Focused on scales and stretch for last 10 mins E30on30.

SLIPS are really paying off in terms of balance lately. Morning yoga sessions have helped too. Legs feel stronger.

175 on all sets. This was a perfect weight. Great form except for the last rep of the last 2 sets where I lost my balance and had to step to recover.


Did 3 rounds of Juan’s slips recommendation for today but with :30 holds and no target for round 1. 30” target round 2 and 3. About 22m.

Should’ve done the set @ 55#s, was planning on going up to 95#s. Didn’t want to smash up the basement floor though. Mats are thin & it wasn’t feeling steady. 😂 Did 3 sets of 10 of front & back squats @ 65#s. Then, SLIPS! ✅

Trying to stay positive, but my oh mobility has me discouraged! Trying to eliminate the worst immobilities: ankles, hips, thoracic spine & shoulders. 😫🥺😭 Hoping that “GOWOD mobility” (starting my 3 rd month) will help!

Congratulations! Keep focused on form and slowly build up your load. The boy build up load to where you can control it and still full ROM. OHS is great for whole body development, balance, power, and coordination.

Globo scale: If you have bumper plates, bar and a rack go ahead and max. If using only iron/normal plates work up to a heavy but controllable set of 3, or do 5x3 sets at the same weight with a heavish load. If without a barbell do single dumbbell overhead squats, 3 left arm and 3 right arm per set. Build up to a heavy. Note: DB overhead squats are particularly difficult and really test your stability. If you max out your available dumbbells, do AMRAP sets for any sets remaining.


Stretching- A Yoga class/video, ROMWOD session, or MWOD session will suffice. Scales as per usual.

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

The connection between the "I" in the SLIPS and the Overhead squat has been the most noticeable thing for my personal training this year. A slow descent from a handstand is an upside down descent of the OHS. It's an expression of pulling from the hips. It doesn't matter how many reps or sets you do here, just make sure to hit some of those handstand descents in between sets - not enough to fatigue your shoulders but enough to get a feel for the control.


I SHOULD TRY THIS AS RX'D IF: I feel comfortable using a weight that's heavy for only 3 reps


NEW TO CROSSFIT VERSION: oddly enough, some people can actually get into an OHS better than a front squat. But I would think today would be good to try and lift some weight - which is not going to happen with an OHS or probably front squat. I might try some back squat sets of 5 or 7 or so with something that feels heavy, then practice OHS with a PVC, broomstick, or jump rope in between sets.


GROUP VERSION: might be one of those days unfortunately. 15-lb. max for everyone, slow tempo sets on my call, one of the SLIPS in between sets. Ugh, sorry guys. It's good for us though.


INJURY VERSION: Pick two of the SLIPS and practice for 40 minutes


WARMUP

SLIPS!!!! Just knock out some sets and do the SLIPS in between. Those things are really golden.


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 3. Having to split jerk that thing overhead is a little worrisome

INTENDED STIMULUS

.

Heavy day! Overhead squats are so rewarding. Master them, and most of your movements will improve. However becoming good at this movement requires patient and diligent for most. Start by doing a good reality check of where your air squat is. If you cannot control very well your spine and your pelvis on your air squat, adding more balance and stability requirements will not make that any better. If your air squat is solid, but you cannot control the rotation of your shoulders when pressing weight overhead, then adding range of motion will also not make things easier. Once you have done your reality check there. Focus on those aspects today. Use this workout to your advantage. If all is good, and your movement is there, then let's go for volume today. This is an excellent context for that. Get five heavy sets, all of them should be heavy. Athletes in need of some overhead squat love can use the following drills as ideas. Athletes with solid overhead mechanics can use them as warm ups.


1 set

1:00 overhead rack opener

1:00 banded distraction ankle stretch per side

1:00 PNF activation of hip external rotation per side


then


2 sets - with a technique barbell or similar

5 elbows rotations

5 (elbow rotations + strict press behind the neck with hands in snatch position)

5 (elbow rotation + press + 3/4 of an overhead squat)

5 (elbow rotation + press + 1/2 an overhead squat)

5 (elbow rotation + press + full squat)


then


5 sets

5 overhead squats to the depth of your capacity @ 44X1


@44X1: 4-second descent, 4 second hold at bottom, explosive ascent, 1-second hold at top



SCALES AND STRETCH


3-5 rounds

Max back scale with target on right leg

1:00 Elevated pigeon pose on right leg

Max back scale with target on left leg

1:00 Elevated pigeon pose on left leg

Max front scale with target on right leg

1:00 couch pose on right leg

Max front scale with target on left leg

1:00 couch pose on left leg
