“These outcomes [of a low carb diet] are truly remarkable: improvement by dozens of points on the PANSS, significant weight loss, and better quality of life. There simply is no psychiatric medication available with the power to accomplish those results. I have certainly seen antipsychotic medications help people with bipolar and psychotic symptoms, and sometimes help dramatically. However, all antipsychotic medications, unfortunately, come with a substantial risk of side effects that can worsen quality of life. All antipsychotic medications can contribute to high insulin levels and insulin resistance—a hormonal shift in metabolism that makes it harder for the body to process carbohydrates.”
Read the article Low-Carbohydrate Diet: Superior to Antipsychotic Medications?Brutal, after nearly 4 mos off and too much food and working long hours. At 56 years old, I need it now more than ever. I'm not gonna post time/scale details today.

Was a little worried that the combo with ring dips would make HSPUs go away, so broke them 5-5-5 and ring dips 5-4-3-3. Should have done more warm-up, as rounds 2 and beyond felt better than round 1. Just tried not to die on the rows, all were around 1:55-1:57 pace.

Thank you for posting this :) I just did the L1 seminar and during the segment on nutrition I asked about the correlates with mental health. The trainer didn’t know of any evidence-based research. Glad to see this developing.
I work as a psychiatric social worker. This research is sorely needed
Only had time for 3 rounds. Not that I could've finished the hspu anyway!

I knew this would be tough for n the rower and that was where it was hard on me.
I intentionally broke up the 15 reps into 5s with a few seconds inbetween to keep on moving. I could easily bang out 15 HSPUs or ring dips but then I might take a while resting and not moving. I wanted the rounds to be kept even and steady.
The rower I treated similarly. I intentionally went a bit slower than I could and tried to maintain that pace of about 2:04 pace throughout.
I basically did about 4:15 per 1000 and walked over to the next station.
For me the row was the only hard part. I should have pushed harder on the HSPUs and the ring dips for a bit faster time.

I should have pushed a little harder but my goal was to try and keep a steady pace and looking back now I did that. Next time I will try to do the same but a little faster on the gymnastics, which I was fine on overall.
Great workout. I almost never go that long and almost never row 1000s I typically row 250s or 500s.
Tweaked it down to 4 rounds to keep in 20 minutes and subbed pike push-ups as I can't do handstand pushups yet.
I started this workout yesterday after 5 hours of sleep. Could only do 5 strict and 2 kip HSPU...so took a rest day yesterday. 9 hours of sleep last night and Bam! Tough, ready to quit at round 4 but persisted.

I love what Dr. Ede is doing with her patients to address what is clearly a crisis in 'standard' of care. May it spread far and wide!
We've seen similar scenarios play out in our patients over the years and even in our friends and family. The 'standard of care' is far too quick to throw pills at the problem, often medications that, as rightly pointed out, come with horrific side effects. And not just for major affective disorders and psychoses, but for kids and young adults with attention deficit disorders, autism, and anxiety. Young men (and women) put on Risperidone gain tremendous amounts of weight on the drug and the males develop severe gynecomastia (we've witnessed this one personally). Skinny kids turn into very chunky kids seemingly overnight. And the removal of the drug leads to their return to their former slender selves. How much better to change the way people eat from a crap-food diet of sugar, HFCS, processed grain, and industrially processed seed oils to a diet of meat, fish, poultry, greens, colorful vegetables, low sugar fruits, and full fat dairy? Feeding the brain properly (which means feeding it cholesterol and saturated fats) will let it grow, repair, and maintain itself.

I hope more research funding is directed to this and quickly. Schizoaffective disorder and similar conditions are so debilitating and the drug treatments have brutal side effects. The two cases studies presented are very encouraging and I thought this part was intriguing: "Interestingly, in both cases, each time either of these individuals went off of the ketogenic diet, their symptoms worsened, and when they went back on the diet, their symptoms improved again, suggesting it was the diet and not some other factor that was responsible."
Compared to the skyrocketing cost of developing new drugs, this research would be quite cheap. And it could have major implications for how we treat our homeless population. Offering them healthier food could really change a lot of lives.

This is obviously a longer workout that tests endurance and gymnastics stamina, but I also think this workout can be helpful to recover from "Karen" yesterday! Shooting for sub 30-minutes on this workout could be a great goal, although I will look to keep this workout sub 35-40 minutes for most. Here are some scaling thoughts:
Strict handstand push-ups- The volume of this movement is high but is made to be more achievable because there will be about 5 minutes rest between attempts. However, I do expect that I will need to scale a lot of my athletes to maintain consistency and range of motion. A large portion of my athletes will scale to a controlled kipping handstand push-up and focus on an eccentric phase of 3-5 seconds to still preserve an element of the strict nature of the movement. I will only have athletes perform 6-8 reps of the movement each round. I normally don’t like scaling to any form of kip when a strict movement is prescribed, however, as long at the 3-5 second negative is upheld and there is no crashing into the ground, I won’t have a problem with this today.
For athletes that cannot perform the kipping recommendation or a slow negative, I will have them perform a pike handstand push-up variation on the box. This can be a great option as athletes can modify their body position to increase or decrease the difficulty. For example, performing this variation with the legs straight and hips stacked over the hands in the starting position can be very difficult while performing this variation with the knees on the box would be less challenging. I will modify athletes to a pike push-up with feet on the floor if needed. If an athlete absolutely cannot get inverted in any fashion a strict dumbbell shoulder press will be my go to for the day.
Strict Ring Dip: I consider the volume of the movement to be high, but is achievable due to the time between sets. Due to the difficulty of the movement I know many of my athletes will need a movement modification to keep the quality high and the range of motion legit. I will reduce reps for athletes that can perform dips, but the volume is too demanding to maintain consistency….this will likely be for those that cannot perform 10+ strict dips consecutively. For athletes that cannot perform dips, I will provide two main movement modifications for the day. Option 1 will be a band-assisted dip and option 2 will be to do ring dips with legs straight and feet on the floor in front of the body. I will provide an easier option and reduce reps on an individual basis as needed.
Rowing: This will be where the bulk of the time is spent on this workout. I can have most of my experienced athletes attempt this distance as prescribed. I will scale the distance for those where the volume is too high or a 1k row will take longer than 5:00 to complete.

Champions Club Scaling Notes

Just a workout. Strict is what you make of it. I actually messed this up and read it as strict pull-ups instead of hspu. Still felt like a really good workout.
PURPOSE: use breathing fatigue to challenge pushing stamina
TRAINING SCALE: as is
PRACTICE SCALE: shorten up the row. take the timer off the whole thing, strict means you're-judged-by-gymnasts strict
NEW TO CROSSFIT VERSION: AMRAP in 20 minutes of: :15 handstand hold, :15 ring hold, 500m row
GROUP VERSION: sub 800m run for row, set a time cap (2 minutes maybe) on each station indoors
INJURY VERSION: pick one mono structural movement and two other movements that will fatigue the same general area and do a similar rep scheme.

INTENDED STIMULUS
.
This is a long effort, a beautiful piece of mental and physical grind. You will be rowing 5000 meters and performing 75 strict handstand push-ups and 75 strict dips. It sounds like a lot, and it is. The fact that it is broken up in five rounds will help you a lot, though. It is a very fun and manageable piece. Aim to keep it controlled and at around 30 minutes. You can absolutely row all 1000's. But just because you can does not mean you should. Treat this workout as a long endurance piece. Remind yourself you don't train to improve your 5K time by running a very long a slow marathon. You can, but maybe not the most effective method. Choose a distance in the rower you can finish in 4:00-4:20 consistently for all rounds. For the gymnastic movements, modify the skill and number of reps to something you can complete within two minutes for the two combined. That's a 6 to 7 minute round. Endurance will be achieved and improved if you set yourself up so that you have to keep "accelerating" and pushing in order to keep up that pace as the workout progresses. That's where you want to live today. Set yourself so that you have to push but also so that you are successful. That's the Thrive Zone. That's where you win. Check out our options for ideas.
