Hollow rock
Hollow arch
Sit-ups
Back extensions
Knees-to-elbows
Stiff-legged deadlifts
Rest

This station rotation workout alternates between midline flexion and extension. While structured similar to Fight Gone Bad, today is more about working midline stability than power output.

Hold the hollows for as much of the minute as possible. Choose a light load for the deadlifts that allows you to keep moving for most of the minute.

Complete as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes of:

5 handstand push-ups
10 single-leg squats, alternating
15 pull-ups

Each of these sets of exercises are difficult for most of us to complete, let alone maintain for 20 minutes. Modify them back to something that is hard, but doable for at least a few rounds. Elevated incline push-ups, deficit push-ups, single-leg step-ups, elevated lunges, banded pull-ups, jumping pull-ups, etc., are all good options.

Aim for 10 rounds.

Glycemic Index
Understanding how carbohydrate quality affects blood sugar, insulin, and metabolic health.
The article explains the glycemic index, how it measures a food’s effect on blood glucose, and its role in understanding carbohydrate metabolism. Greg Glassman discusses how different carbohydrates affect blood sugar and insulin, emphasizing the importance of food quality and the metabolic effects of refined carbohydrates. The article provides context for using the glycemic index to better understand the relationship between diet and metabolic health.

The carbohydrate-insulin model: a physiological perspective on the obesity pandemic
Rethinking obesity through the lens of hormones, metabolism, and energy regulation.
This review examines the carbohydrate-insulin model of obesity, going against the idea that weight gain is driven primarily by consuming more calories than the body expends. The authors propose that dietary factors, particularly refined carbohydrates and their effects on insulin, may influence how the body stores energy, regulates hunger, and manages metabolism. They explore the biological mechanisms that may contribute to obesity and highlight the need for more rigorous research comparing competing models of weight regulation

How Sugar Drives Heart Disease
Why sugar, not just saturated fat, deserves attention in heart disease
A 2017 paper published in BMJ Open Heart argues that the role of sugar in heart disease has been overshadowed by decades of attention to saturated fat and cholesterol. Authors James DiNicolantonio and James O’Keefe review evidence linking high sugar consumption to insulin resistance, elevated insulin levels, and metabolic abnormalities associated with coronary heart disease. They highlight research showing that people consuming 25% or more of their calories from added sugars had nearly three times the cardiovascular mortality risk of those consuming less than 10%.

Wash-in and washout effects: mitigating bias in short term dietary and other trials
How short-term trials can misrepresent the effects of dietary interventions and why metabolic adaptation matters
This review explores how short-term clinical trials can produce misleading conclusions when researchers fail to account for the time it takes the body to adapt to dietary changes. The authors explain how insufficient intervention and washout periods can distort results, particularly in studies comparing low-carbohydrate and low-fat diets. They highlight the importance of accounting for metabolic adaptation and designing longer, more rigorous trials to better understand the long-term effects of nutrition on health.

The Hidden Ingredients that May Be Making You Sick
How the stuff that keeps your salad dressing from separating may be quietly remodeling your gut
Emulsifiers—additives used to keep oils and water mixed in processed foods—are everywhere in the modern diet, from ice cream and salad dressings to plant-based milks and packaged baked goods. Emerging research suggests that some of the most commonly used synthetic emulsifiers, such as carboxymethylcellulose and polysorbate 80, may disrupt the gut’s protective mucus layer, alter the microbiome, and promote inflammation and metabolic disturbances in animal models, with early human studies showing concerning associations as well. While the evidence is still developing and not all emulsifiers appear equally problematic—naturally derived lecithins seem far less concerning—the findings highlight how ingredients designed for texture and shelf stability may have unintended biological effects. Minimizing ultra-processed foods and favoring whole, minimally processed ingredients naturally reduces exposure to synthetic emulsifiers while supporting the gut environment where much of the immune system resides.

Carbohydrate-insulin model: does the conventional view of obesity reverse cause and effect?
How carbohydrate intake and insulin responses influence energy storage, hunger, and body weight.
The carbohydrate-insulin model suggests that eating large amounts of rapidly digested carbohydrates can raise insulin levels, encourage fat storage, and increase hunger while lowering energy expenditure. The study looks at how these metabolic responses may contribute to weight gain and why the types of foods we eat can matter just as much as how much we eat. It also explores the evidence behind the model and where more research is needed.
