20-minute AMRAP:

Complete as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes of:

Run 400 meters
10 strict pull-ups
15 ½-bodyweight thrusters

Pull-ups and thrusters should be done in one set in the early rounds. If that’s not possible, pick a pull-up variation and reduce the thruster load. Aim for at least 4 rounds.

See more →
5 rounds for time:

5 handstand push-ups
5 deadlifts, adding weight

Choose a handstand push-up variation that is very difficult for you. You should be able to do a set of 5 when fresh, but barely.

Do the same with the deadlift: start heavy, then add weight each round.

The Dementia-Prevention Trial That Matters More Than Its “55%” Headline
A closer look at what the 55% cognitive benefit really means
A new dementia-prevention trial in Latin America found that a two-year, multidomain lifestyle intervention produced greater improvements in cognition than basic health advice alone. The study received attention for its reported “55% improvement,” but that number needs context: it reflects a relative difference in cognitive change, not a 55% reduction in dementia risk.

Improvements in Biomarkers From a Carbohydrate Restricted Diet
A simple, low-cost dietary intervention produced meaningful improvements in cardiovascular risk factors
This 2019 study followed 154 patients with type 2 diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance who were advised to substantially reduce sugar and starchy carbohydrates while eating more vegetables, low-glycemic fruit, meat, fish, eggs, dairy, nuts, and fats. After an average of two years, patients had lost 9.5 kg and reduced systolic blood pressure by 10.9 mmHg and diastolic pressure by 6.3 mmHg. Triglycerides fell 32%, HDL increased 8%, and the total cholesterol-to-HDL ratio improved 15%. ijerph-16-02680

What are Mitochondrial Diseases?
Examining the Biology and Experience of Genetic Mitochondrial Defects
Mitochondrial diseases reveal just how deeply energy production is tied to human health. Martin Picard uses the story of a young woman with Kearns-Sayre syndrome to show how impaired mitochondria can affect seemingly unrelated functions, from movement and blinking to wound healing, immunity, and the ability to recover from ordinary activities.

Rape Law Was Written for Fathers and Husbands – The Cornell Case Revisits this Precedent
How a Cornell student's report was read by campus police, a prosecutor, and a Title IX panel, and why the law gave them such different results.
This article examines the Cornell sexual-assault case through the history of American rape law. It traces how early laws treated rape as an offense against a father’s or husband’s property rather than an injury to the woman herself, and how remnants of those legal assumptions shaped who the law was designed to protect. The piece then looks at why Cornell’s disciplinary panel and the Tompkins County DA reached different conclusions about the same incident, highlighting the different standards of proof and definitions used in campus and criminal proceedings. It ends with a

2003 Interview with Coach Glassman
A 2003 conversation with Greg Glassman on fitness, conditioning, intensity, and training principles that still deserve a second look.
Greg Glassman’s ideas about fitness have evolved alongside the field, and some of the prescriptions in this 2003 interview have clearly aged. But many of the questions he was asking remain relevant: What are we actually training for? How should conditioning relate to the demands of real-world performance? When does intensity become productive, and when does it simply become fatigue? And how much specificity does an athlete really need?

Meta Knows Your Kids’ Faces, Rite Aid Knows Your Name, and WordPress Doesn’t Know Anything Anymore
A closer look at the AI, privacy, surveillance, and tech stories behind the headlines.
This week’s tech headlines cover everything from Meta’s use of facial recognition and the growing questions around children’s privacy to biometric surveillance, AI development, WordPress, and the future of warfare. But the first version of a story is rarely the whole story. This article takes a closer look at the reporting behind these headlines, separating what is actually known from what is being assumed, exaggerated, or left out. The goal is not just to follow the latest tech news, but to understand what these developments could mean for privacy, security, technology, and the people affected by them.

The Expert With Connections
Experts the media turns to, and the connections they don't always mention
The article from Let's Start with the Truth examines how major news outlets presented vaccine recommendations from medical experts without consistently disclosing their industry relationships. Dr. William Schaffner of Vanderbilt was quoted by multiple outlets during the 2026 fall vaccine season, but those stories identified him primarily by his academic position while omitting documented relationships with Pfizer, Merck, Sanofi, and other pharmaceutical companies. The article notes that Schaffner has disclosed these relationships in professional settings and that other experts without comparable vaccine-industry ties were available to journalists. Rather than arguing that industry relationships automatically disqualify an expert, the article focuses on the responsibility of newsrooms to provide readers with enough information to evaluate the sources they are quoting.
