Slips warmup culminating in a max 20 front scale each leg, :37 back scale each leg limited by left leg strength/balance. A 35 second L sit from the ground. Immediately into a 1:35 high plank and then a 1 minute rear plank after resting 30 seconds. Then built up to 245 in 3 sets, that felt too light to start with.
-7 sets of 7 deadlifts, light touch and go:
275-285-295-335-315-315-365lbs. All sets sub maximal but I wanted to respect the volume. Felt like I could’ve done 15+ at 335.
Done in minimalist running sandals and argyle socks for old school effect. No belt today. Went every 5m.

For my 20 minutes of SLIPs, I did an hour of really tough yoga that included plenty of SLIPS training.
Unfortunately, my deadlifts were kinda wussy because all I had was gallon water jugs. Deadlifts is something I can do really well, so 7 sets of 7 at what 16 pounds is pretty sad... I wish the condo gym was open!!!
I also went on an hour hike up/down a mountain w my insane dog who wanted to drag me down.

Knee handled these well. 315 felt pretty heavy today, so came back down. Wanted to get some reps in sumo style. In between sets, did SLIPS – mostly L-sits and a few HS holds. Accumulated about 2 ½ minutes of L-sits.

SLIPS: Parallelttes work (plank-to-tuck, shoot-throughs, L-sit) and handstand holds
I like this rep-scheme for a heavy deadlift session as we are accumulating a lot of volume with relatively heavy loads. This workout will also create a fair amount of fatigue, so don’t hesitate to reduce the loads on the final sets to keep mechanics sound. Here are some other thoughts on this workout:
Deadlifts: As with most heavy days, most athletes can attempt this workout as written and use loads that allow for sound mechanics. Normally, I look for heavy sets to be at or above 80-85% of a 1 rep max. However, being that we are doing sets of 7 today, I will look for all work sets to be above 70-75% of a 1 rep max. For athletes that cannot maintain a safe position when pulling loads from the floor, I will consider having them perform the deadlifts with the load elevated on blocks or plates and have them complete very light-loaded or unloaded full range of motion deadlifts between sets.
Minimal Equipment: As the description suggests, use any loaded heavy object and alter the rep scheme to make each set difficult. If the loads you have available are not heavy, consider performing a single leg deadlift for 7 reps each leg to increase the difficulty.

I am going to try and add some more options for tomorrows SLIPS practice and heavy day.
For the SLIPS I am going to try out 30/30 clock and go for 3 rounds:
30” scale left (front or back scale your choice)
30” rest
30 “ scale right
30” rest
30” max effort L sit
30” rest
30” practice press to handstand or pirouette progression ( @pamelagnon on ig has great progressions , follow her if you havent already )
30” rest
30” tuck plank on rings/parallettes max effort
30” rest
60” alternating each round seated front fold or standing front with back supported against wall and arms loose/ right couch / left couch
For Deadlift im gonna go with a 15 min EMOM of 7 Deadlifts at 102kg which is all I have.
I am actually gonna warm up, hit the emom and close with the slips practice
warm up for tomorrow from russia with love 17 min with cash in and cash out of : 5 shoulder pass through folloed by 1 easy set of strict pullups .
x 17 min without rushing
cash in once : 5 shoulder pass through folloed by 1 easy set of strict pullups .
then remainder of 17 min
20 foam roll of your choice
15 jump rope (singles, doubles, triples, which ever you want to practice today)
Commented on: A Behind-the-Scenes Look at Medical Education
Dr. Fung presents a truly unvarnished look at his own profession. It’s scary to think that the people providing continuing education to our doctors are essentially shills for big pharma. When you think about the cost of medical school, it makes sense. It takes many doctors years and years to pay off student loans. Guess what? Their education isn’t over and never will be. Rather than pay exorbitant amounts for a never-ending education, big pharma has stepped in and made it free. Or better than free if you count the wining and dining.
Also scary is that nearly any opinion can be backed by peer-reviewed research. There’s so much research out there, much of it poorly done or biased, that nearly any position is defensible. Unless someone like Dr. Feinman goes over the study with a fine-toothed comb, most research will never be highly scrutinized.
Dr. Fung wrote another article, Scientific Opinions for Sale, where he shows two graphs comparing studies of the effect of sugar on obesity. 34 studies show a positive association (sugar contributes to obesity) and 26 show no association. This is equivocal enough that many doctors could say: “Go ahead and have some soda, but not too much. The research is inconclusive.”
What Dr. Fung points out is that 96.2% of the studies showing no association were funded by the sugar industry! But only one of the studies showing a positive association was funded by sugar money. That researcher is surely looking for a new job…
Further along these lines, a paper published a few days ago showed that 80% of the editors of oncology journals received non research payments from industry and the mean value was $106,778. These people decide what goes in the journals, which also serve to educate doctors. Even worse, the vast majority (21 of 26 editors) failed to disclose these payments!
Also, a recent paper in JAMA studied direct payments from the pharma industry to academic oncologists. The top 4% of them received more than 50% of their base salary and the top 20% were paid more than 10% of their base salary in direct payments from pharma.
If there’s any silver lining to what Dr. Fung has written here, it’s that most doctors are more interested in their food than the sock puppets speaking to them. I hope he’s right.

Good talk. Regarding grains and legumes: you may be OK with soaked grains (to reduce phytates). You may also be OK with soured/cultured dairy (plain yogurt and kefir). Note: cultured dairy also reduces lactose (milk sugar) converting it to lactic acid.

Globo/Home scale: If you have a bar and enough plates to load this up, go for it. If you have limited plates, work the sets of 7, if you max out your bar and plates finish up with AMRAP sets, or consider doing tempo style as discussed below if you have less than 50% of your 1rm available. Dumbbells: consider doing 7 tempo deadlifts with the dumbbells, slowly working down, into the position where a barbell would be taken off (mid shin), then lift it slowly back up. In this case, warm up, then do the sets of 7 at the same weight, focusing on technique and form in the tempo deadlifts. 5-7 seconds for each phase of the lift should do. Each set should take about 1-2 minutes to complete if done right, and you should feel it in your hamstrings, glutes and back when you are done (in a good way). Rxed for this would be 2x 35# (women) 2x50#(men), but use whatever you have that allows you to maintain good form. You can also simulate this with banded good mornings, if that's all you have. Use the same tempo method for the banded good mornings as you would with the dumbbell deadlifts. Now if you have a heavy tire to flip, lets flip that today in lieu of deadlifts if you don't have a barbell. You can also deadlift your couch or bed, add weight to it for more of an effect, or you can even do isometrics by trying to deadlift your car or truck!

Champions Club Scaling Notes
RANT
Nothing to rant about today
NEW TO CROSSFIT SCALE
AMRAP in 15 minuites of:
7 deadlifts
:30 handstand hold
*keep the deadlift weight light-ish for technique practice, don't let back round
MAIN DECISION
Am I ready to go heavy for 7, or do I want to work on technique and go more reps
WHAT ABOUT THE MOVEMENT
Squatting - less ROM than formal back/front/overhead squat, lots of midline demand, arms in a weird dangling position, heavy loading on everything
WHAT ABOUT THE REP SCHEME
A number that starts to blend stamina and endurance into a traditional strength lifting format
LEARNING HOW TO COOK
7 would be a good number if you are feeling really good and have the technique to maintain a neutral midline at a heavy weight for 7reps. If you can't then up the reps to whatever feels like you got something out of that set. Any random number will be fine, but you just have to play it by feel. One set you might feel it at 13, the next you might have 22 good ones in you. If you're staying at 35 lbs, doing 7 reps doesn't make much sense. Obviously excluding the older people.

I like this rep-scheme for a heavy deadlift session as we are accumulating a lot of volume with relatively heavy loads. This workout will also create a fair amount of fatigue, so don’t hesitate to reduce the loads on the final sets to keep mechanics sound. Here are some other thoughts on this workout:
Deadlifts: As with most heavy days, most athletes can attempt this workout as written and use loads that allow for sound mechanics. Normally, I look for heavy sets to be at or above 80-85% of a 1 rep max. However, being that we are doing sets of 7 today, I will look for all work sets to be above 70-75% of a 1 rep max. For athletes that cannot maintain a safe position when pulling loads from the floor, I will consider having them perform the deadlifts with the load elevated on blocks or plates and have them complete very light-loaded or unloaded full range of motion deadlifts between sets.
Minimal Equipment: As the description suggests, use any loaded heavy object and alter the rep scheme to make each set difficult. If the loads you have available are not heavy, consider performing a single leg deadlift for 7 reps each leg to increase the difficulty.

I am going to try and add some more options for tomorrows SLIPS practice and heavy day.
For the SLIPS I am going to try out 30/30 clock and go for 3 rounds:
30” scale left (front or back scale your choice)
30” rest
30 “ scale right
30” rest
30” max effort L sit
30” rest
30” practice press to handstand or pirouette progression ( @pamelagnon on ig has great progressions , follow her if you havent already )
30” rest
30” tuck plank on rings/parallettes max effort
30” rest
60” alternating each round seated front fold or standing front with back supported against wall and arms loose/ right couch / left couch
For Deadlift im gonna go with a 15 min EMOM of 7 Deadlifts at 102kg which is all I have.
I am actually gonna warm up, hit the emom and close with the slips practice
warm up for tomorrow from russia with love 17 min with cash in and cash out of : 5 shoulder pass through folloed by 1 easy set of strict pullups .
x 17 min without rushing
cash in once : 5 shoulder pass through folloed by 1 easy set of strict pullups .
then remainder of 17 min
20 foam roll of your choice
15 jump rope (singles, doubles, triples, which ever you want to practice today)
10 arm circles
10 toy soldiers
60” plank shoulder touches / pirouette progression
cash out once after 17 min are completed 1 easy set strict pullups.
Easy ser should be around 60% reps of last max rep strict pullup you have in last 1-4 months.
Get this party started.
rethoric ps: (who needs badly to party and will treat tomorrows workout as a full body pain fest ? 🤚🏻)

Dr. Fung presents a truly unvarnished look at his own profession. It’s scary to think that the people providing continuing education to our doctors are essentially shills for big pharma. When you think about the cost of medical school, it makes sense. It takes many doctors years and years to pay off student loans. Guess what? Their education isn’t over and never will be. Rather than pay exorbitant amounts for a never-ending education, big pharma has stepped in and made it free. Or better than free if you count the wining and dining.
Also scary is that nearly any opinion can be backed by peer-reviewed research. There’s so much research out there, much of it poorly done or biased, that nearly any position is defensible. Unless someone like Dr. Feinman goes over the study with a fine-toothed comb, most research will never be highly scrutinized.
Dr. Fung wrote another article, Scientific Opinions for Sale, where he shows two graphs comparing studies of the effect of sugar on obesity. 34 studies show a positive association (sugar contributes to obesity) and 26 show no association. This is equivocal enough that many doctors could say: “Go ahead and have some soda, but not too much. The research is inconclusive.”
What Dr. Fung points out is that 96.2% of the studies showing no association were funded by the sugar industry! But only one of the studies showing a positive association was funded by sugar money. That researcher is surely looking for a new job…
Further along these lines, a paper published a few days ago showed that 80% of the editors of oncology journals received non research payments from industry and the mean value was $106,778. These people decide what goes in the journals, which also serve to educate doctors. Even worse, the vast majority (21 of 26 editors) failed to disclose these payments!
Also, a recent paper in JAMA studied direct payments from the pharma industry to academic oncologists. The top 4% of them received more than 50% of their base salary and the top 20% were paid more than 10% of their base salary in direct payments from pharma.
If there’s any silver lining to what Dr. Fung has written here, it’s that most doctors are more interested in their food than the sock puppets speaking to them. I hope he’s right.
Good talk. Regarding grains and legumes: you may be OK with soaked grains (to reduce phytates). You may also be OK with soured/cultured dairy (plain yogurt and kefir). Note: cultured dairy also reduces lactose (milk sugar) converting it to lactic acid.
Globo/Home scale: If you have a bar and enough plates to load this up, go for it. If you have limited plates, work the sets of 7, if you max out your bar and plates finish up with AMRAP sets, or consider doing tempo style as discussed below if you have less than 50% of your 1rm available. Dumbbells: consider doing 7 tempo deadlifts with the dumbbells, slowly working down, into the position where a barbell would be taken off (mid shin), then lift it slowly back up. In this case, warm up, then do the sets of 7 at the same weight, focusing on technique and form in the tempo deadlifts. 5-7 seconds for each phase of the lift should do. Each set should take about 1-2 minutes to complete if done right, and you should feel it in your hamstrings, glutes and back when you are done (in a good way). Rxed for this would be 2x 35# (women) 2x50#(men), but use whatever you have that allows you to maintain good form. You can also simulate this with banded good mornings, if that's all you have. Use the same tempo method for the banded good mornings as you would with the dumbbell deadlifts. Now if you have a heavy tire to flip, lets flip that today in lieu of deadlifts if you don't have a barbell. You can also deadlift your couch or bed, add weight to it for more of an effect, or you can even do isometrics by trying to deadlift your car or truck!

Nothing to rant about today
NEW TO CROSSFIT SCALE
AMRAP in 15 minuites of:
7 deadlifts
:30 handstand hold
*keep the deadlift weight light-ish for technique practice, don't let back round
MAIN DECISION
Am I ready to go heavy for 7, or do I want to work on technique and go more reps
WHAT ABOUT THE MOVEMENT
Squatting - less ROM than formal back/front/overhead squat, lots of midline demand, arms in a weird dangling position, heavy loading on everything
WHAT ABOUT THE REP SCHEME
A number that starts to blend stamina and endurance into a traditional strength lifting format
LEARNING HOW TO COOK
7 would be a good number if you are feeling really good and have the technique to maintain a neutral midline at a heavy weight for 7reps. If you can't then up the reps to whatever feels like you got something out of that set. Any random number will be fine, but you just have to play it by feel. One set you might feel it at 13, the next you might have 22 good ones in you. If you're staying at 35 lbs, doing 7 reps doesn't make much sense. Obviously excluding the older people.
I DON'T WANT TO COOK, JUST GIVE ME FOOD
:45 of deadlift practice
:45 of L-sit or Handstand practice
Repeat 10 times, rest as needed between sets
