Dr. Malcolm Kendrick, MD, discusses two populations that exhibit high levels of Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and explains how they can help to further illuminate the underlying cause of T2D in the general population.
Read MoreDiabetes, Part 2: The Causal Role of Raised InsulinClocked up about 15 minutes of Acevedo's SLIPS practice done before FS. Needed a little push up on the pistols. Need all the warm up I can get at 44. The FS warm ups really helped my form.

I usually instruct my students to treat workouts like this as work days not PR days but damn did I feel good today! I set today up as a work day thinking I would do singles at 245 but that felt pretty easy! (I also tell them that PRs don’t always present themselves when you expect them)
Belt used for the final lift only. Lifting shoes and knee sleeves today.
Did stiff/stiff presses to handstand for ten minutes and freestanding practice for ten minutes afterward.

Nice work & Congratulations on the new PR!

INTENDED STIMULUS
.
Heavy day! This is a fun day. Two main ways to attack this. You can go for total volume or for total load. In the first one we want to find the heaviest single we can. That means all the previous sets are sub-maximal and you are just building to that super heavy single. If you were scoring this, that big lift would be your score. If you are going for volume we are going to lift heavy on every set, 5's and 3's included. If you were scoring, your score would be the sum of all lifts. They are not maximal lifts, but they are close. Both avenues are productive, both will get that heavy stimulus that we want. If you aren't feeling super fresh go for that heavy single. If you are ready to work today get that volume on! Whatever you do keep this in mind: how you move on your warm up sets is how you move on your heavy sets. Don't wait for the bar to get heavy to work on your bracing and your mechanics. Focus on this from the first rep to the last. Also, focus only on the rep at hand: channel your zen, full attention. 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 for Front Squats
5 sets of
5 Frankenstein Squats + 5/5 Frankenstein Forward Lunges (technique bar)
then
4 sets of
2 Superslow* Frankenstein squat
60 seconds preacher stretch
*20 seconds descent and 20 seconds ascent
then
3 sets of
3 3-pause front squats
Pauses are at: parallel, bottom and parallel. This will give the coach a chance to adjust mechanics.
then
Spend 10 minutes building to a set of 5 squats with the best mechanics your athlete can produce today.
▶ OPTION SLIPS FLOW
Today we are going to start building on a full flow. This should be super fun:
PART A
3 sets per leg.
5 Front Scale to Back Scale Transitions
Do without breaks and without putting the foot on the floor.
PART B
5 sets per leg
5 Back Scale to Handstand (use wall as needed)
PART C
5 sets per leg
5 Forward rolls to pistol squat
Considering the intended stimulus, how long do you suggest resting between sets on the front squat ? These heavy workouts have a tendency to get away from me time-wise, and with 20 minutes of SLIPS to boot.
Skipped the slips, due to time. Followed the front squat option workout, though. Ended up at 125 lbs for a solid 5 squats. Could have gone to 135 but, again, ran out of time.
Warm up for 200128:
GENERAL WARM-UP
2 rounds for 30-seconds of:
Rowing, running, or biking
Deep mountain climbers
Air squats
Deadlifts*
Hang muscle-clean to a front squat*
*Perform movements with an empty barbell
SPECIFIC WARM-UP
Front squat
20 front-rack elbow rotations
5 Frankenstein squats
5 tempo front squats (3-seconds down, 3-seconds hold, 3 seconds up)
5 front squats
Build-up
Perform 3 to 4 warm-up sets of 5 reps. One may wish to follow this build-up:
Set 1: 40% of 1RM
Set 2: 50% of 1RM
Set 3: 60% of 1RM
Set 4: 70% of 1RM
Set 5: 75% of 1RM (optional)
> The first working set should be 70-75% of 1RM front squat.
SLIPS
L-sits and planks
3 sets of:
30-seconds of an L-sit hold
45-seconds of a side plank hold, right
45-seconds of a side plank hold, left
Stretching
EMOM 12 minutes
Min. 1: Child’s pose
Min. 2 + 3: Couch stretch
Min. 4: Counter balance squats
Globo Scale-if you are at a standard commercial gym, your garage, or Globo you should be able to do this as rxed. Have spotters, spotting arms, or bumpers and a place to bail if going for a max. This is best done with bumpers and a place to bail, however.
If without a barbell today use the heaviest dumbbells available (or able to clean from the ground) and do 6 AMRAP sets of front squats with the heaviest dumbbells possible, rest as needed between sets. Unlike back squats, we want to load the quadriceps more here, thus the db front squat sets.
