5 Rounds For Time:

25 squats
10 strict pull-ups
10 strict dips

The ingredients and structure in today's workout look and smell a lot like Cindy—a bodyweight pull, press, and squat, broken into small sets and repeated for multiple rounds. Note though that there is far less volume, about half as much for most of us, and there is an emphasis put on strict. So don't over scale this and miss the change to develop strict pulling and pressing strength. Struggling to get through the sets of 10 is ok today.

If you can crack off all five rounds of the pull-ups and dips unbroken, consider adding more reps per round, or additional rounds.

For Time:

Row 2,000 meters

Then, spend 30 minutes practicing slow and strict toes-to-bars, hollow rocks, GHD sit-ups, back extensions, and stiff-legged deadlifts.

The Total

Back squat 1-1-1 reps
Shoulder press 1-1-1 reps
Deadlift 1-1-1 reps

Warm up for each, then take 3 attempts at each lift, trying to set a 1-rep-max.

Flaws in Nutrition Research
Webinar with Richard Feinman addressing issues in medical and nutritional research, focusing on flaws in scientific methodology
In this webinar, Dr. Richard Feinman and Bob Kaplan discuss critical issues in medical and nutritional research, focusing on flaws in scientific methodology, particularly in nutrition science. Dr. Feinman critiques the over-reliance on statistical significance in medical studies, arguing that statistical manipulations often lead to misleading conclusions rather than uncovering objective truth. He highlights how small sample sizes, conflicts of interest, and retrospective adjustments to hypotheses frequently distort findings.

The Pareto Principle in Metabolic Health
Applying the 80/20 rule of outcomes from causes to metabolic health.
In this article, Ivor Cummings explores the Pareto Principle's application to metabolic health, emphasizing that 80% of health outcomes stem from 20% of causes. Drawing from his engineering and analytical background, he’s identified insulin resistance as a key driver of chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s. Driven by mainstream dietary advice that promotes high-carb, low-fat diets, the modern epidemic of obesity and chronic diseases can be attributed to these guidelines.
