For time:

30 muscle-ups

Simply put, the muscle-up is moving from hanging below rings to supported above them. Coach Glassman first posed the challenge of 30 reps for time in June of 2002, then followed up that November with his article describing the exercise in detail.

Later, the drive for maximizing power output within workouts brought the rise of the “kipping pull-up,” which naturally led to its counterpart on the rings, the “kipping muscle-up.”

Today we want you working the strict muscle-up, focussing on a strong false grip and control through the transition.

Women on Statins Face a Serious Risk No One Wants to Talk About
Eighteen years after a trial found a 49% increase in diabetes diagnoses among women taking statins, questions remain.
A major clinical trial found that women taking statins experienced a 49% increase in new type 2 diabetes diagnoses, raising important questions about how these risks are evaluated. The article examines the balance between statins’ cardiovascular benefits and their potential metabolic consequences, highlighting differences between men and women and gaps in how diabetes was monitored during the trial. It also challenges how researchers weigh benefits against risks and emphasizes the importance of monitoring blood glucose and A1C levels when evaluating treatment options.

Keep Your Cocaine
The biology of reward is more complicated than “sugar is addictive.”
In a 2007 experiment, researchers at the University of Bordeaux offered laboratory rats a choice between cocaine and sweetened water. An astonishing 94% chose the sweetness. Increasing the cocaine dose didn't change their minds. Neither did making the sweet water harder to obtain. Even rats whose cocaine consumption had tripled after weeks of heavy use abandoned the drug in favor of a few drops of sweet water. And it wasn't just artificial sweeteners—rats showed the same preference when offered real sugar.

Instagram glitched. Why did so many think they were being censored?
A glitch raises bigger questions about censorship and Big Tech’s control over what we see
On October 7, Instagram creators around the world noticed something strange: their Reels were getting likes, comments, and shares, but their view counts were stuck at zero. Some immediately suspected they were being shadowbanned or censored. Mia, a software developer and tech journalist, suspects it was an analytics glitch rather than deliberate suppression. But she also explains why so many people jumped to that conclusion. Meta has a documented history of restricting certain content, including women's health information and political posts, sometimes without users realizing their reach has been limited.
