Commented on: The Death of Dr. Atkins
Dietetics is a field of study filled with dogma and belief. Atkins challenged the believers and as in the spirit of most beliefs those who believe hate disagreement. Never tell a religious person God is a mythical being, you will be instantly despised. Atkins upset 2 camps of the religion of dietetics and he got they wroth. When those who tried the diet demonstrated its' effect. Atkins set a ball rolling that would change the dietary world. No vegan or old school dietician can stop such a discovery. You can maline the man but not the facts. He may just have saved millions from type 2 diabetes and vascular disease.
Constantly spiking sugar levels over time, are indisputably injurious to most organs in our bodies. Whether they cause diabetes or many other illnesses is undeniable. Atkins just lead the way to the answers and he deserves credit for that.

6+7 rxd. Unbroken ttb and thruster. On lunges I stopped briefly between reps to keep moving/breathing; it made for longer dumbbell carries! If I had over-gripped the thrusters I’d be screwed as far as grip goes.

I graduated from residency in 2003, when the Atkins diet was at its peak popularity, and Atkins branded products lined grocery shelves. I remember patients who lost some weight but believed that low carb Atkins approved ice cream was better for them than eating an apple. It was a highly restrictive diet, one that was unsustainable by all but the highly committed few.
Twenty years later, I don’t have a single patient who follows Atkins. Show me someone who isn’t allowed to eat a piece of fruit on their plan, and I’ll show you someone who won’t be following that diet in a few years.

Commented on: The Death of Dr. Atkins
Dr. Atkins was my personal physician for a time in the late 1990's. His book, and subsequent advice and care as I embraced low-carb eating, literally saved my life.
My grandfather was in the first cohort of patients to receive insulin at the Mayo Clinic. He was a diabetic and died at age 62. My father was diabetic as well (among a host of other bad lifestyle habits, including smoking and excess alcohol consumption) and died at 63 after years of poor health.
I am 65 and still going strong. When I met in-person with Dr. Atkins after getting my labs done, he said: "You are a diabetic, just not to the point where most doctor's would diagnose you as such. Continue on the path you are on, and you will experience all of the poor health outcomes we've discussed."
I started eating low carb that day and have never looked back. These days, I am mostly carnivore.
Thank you for this story. One thought from his books remains vivid with me...his diet is a clinical trial of one conducted thousands of times successfully.

WOD ANALYSIS
Coaching notes:
Today, for the third day in a row, a hero WOD has been released.
Modality: This WOD is a couplet modality that is combined of a core exercise from gymnastics modality and 2 moderate weightlifting.
Purpose: The training purpose is to improving the stamina and strength. Furthermore, this WOD is improving the hip power because 2 first movements challenge the hip and need full hip extension.
The reason for choosing reps: The number of reps is low that athletes can perform it without interruption. This short time WOD challenges and improves the lactate tolerance threshold. This is the main factor for successful in crossfit, which causes athletes finished WODs with at least drop power and increases their records.
Scoring (round numbers): Athletes must do at least 5 rounds of this WOD. Advanced athletes can do it at least 6 rounds.
Scale method: The repetitions of each movement are almost small, so athletes must do each movement unbroken, at least for 2 first rounds.
Physiology (GPP): Stamina, strength and cardiorespiratory play the major role in this WOD.
Physiology (energy pathway): The aerobic system is a dominant energy pathway in this WOD.
Additional time: It remains ≈ 21 minutes that can be divided in specific warm-up or cool-down.
You can see my other analysis in my instagram page.
Train hard and challenge your body. Enjoy it ;)
GOOD LUCK

Globo/home scale: If you do not have a pullup bar sub 12 V-ups for the toes to bar. If using a door gym where you can't kip do 4-6 strict toes to bar per round. Dumbbells: Use whatever gets you close to 25/35lbs. You can also sub a bag, kettlebells, a 65/95lb barbell, or other odd object for these movements. Bodyweight sub toes to bar or v-ups, burpees, 2/1 jump lunges.

Dr. Atkins was my personal physician for a time in the late 1990's. His book, and subsequent advice and care as I embraced low-carb eating, literally saved my life.
My grandfather was in the first cohort of patients to receive insulin at the Mayo Clinic. He was a diabetic and died at age 62. My father was diabetic as well (among a host of other bad lifestyle habits, including smoking and excess alcohol consumption) and died at 63 after years of poor health.
I am 65 and still going strong. When I met in-person with Dr. Atkins after getting my labs done, he said: "You are a diabetic, just not to the point where most doctor's would diagnose you as such. Continue on the path you are on, and you will experience all of the poor health outcomes we've discussed."
I started eating low carb that day and have never looked back. These days, I am mostly carnivore.
Subbed : toes-to-rings, 12+20kg kettlebell thrusters & lunges alternating every round.

Thank you for this story. One thought from his books remains vivid with me...his diet is a clinical trial of one conducted thousands of times successfully.

WOD ANALYSIS
Coaching notes:
Today, for the third day in a row, a hero WOD has been released.
Modality: This WOD is a couplet modality that is combined of a core exercise from gymnastics modality and 2 moderate weightlifting.
Purpose: The training purpose is to improving the stamina and strength. Furthermore, this WOD is improving the hip power because 2 first movements challenge the hip and need full hip extension.
The reason for choosing reps: The number of reps is low that athletes can perform it without interruption. This short time WOD challenges and improves the lactate tolerance threshold. This is the main factor for successful in crossfit, which causes athletes finished WODs with at least drop power and increases their records.
Scoring (round numbers): Athletes must do at least 5 rounds of this WOD. Advanced athletes can do it at least 6 rounds.
Scale method: The repetitions of each movement are almost small, so athletes must do each movement unbroken, at least for 2 first rounds.
Physiology (GPP): Stamina, strength and cardiorespiratory play the major role in this WOD.
Physiology (energy pathway): The aerobic system is a dominant energy pathway in this WOD.
Anatomy:
T2B: Latissimus dorsi, Rectus abdominis, Iliacus Psoas, Rectus femoris.
Thruster: Anterior & middle deltoid, Triceps, Gluteus maximus, Quadriceps.
Lunge: Gluteus maximus, Quadriceps, Hamstring, Gastrocnemius, Soleus.

You can see my other analysis in my instagram page.
Train hard and challenge your body. Enjoy it ;)
GOOD LUCK
Globo/home scale: If you do not have a pullup bar sub 12 V-ups for the toes to bar. If using a door gym where you can't kip do 4-6 strict toes to bar per round. Dumbbells: Use whatever gets you close to 25/35lbs. You can also sub a bag, kettlebells, a 65/95lb barbell, or other odd object for these movements. Bodyweight sub toes to bar or v-ups, burpees, 2/1 jump lunges.

Champions Club Scaling Notes
RANT
Nothing to rant about
WHAT ABOUT THE MOVEMENTS
Toes to bar - pulling from the hips/midline, pike position, overhead
Thrusters - squatting, core-to-extremity, jumping, pushing, overhead, open-circuit (dumbbells/no connection)
Lunge - squatting, unilateral loading, external load
WHAT ABOUT THE FORMAT
Boz says it well in the video.
TECHNIQUE SCALE
As is, just extend to 20 minutes, don't worry about speed
CONSISTENCY SCALE
Lighten up the dumbbells, cut ROM on toes to bar to keep the rhythm/pike position, and double all the reps. Try for 15-20 minutes.
INTENSITY SCALE
As is
MY STUFF
I misread it and didn't use dumbbells on the lunges. 7 rounds, 25# dumbbells. Toes to bar unbroken.
GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 7
