The hip-back extensions, as well as the GHD sit-ups, should be performed in a slow, controlled manner. Don't let that slow pace carry over to the rows. Hit the row hard.

Run 5k

While not the highest power output workout in the MetFix arsenal, the real world application of moving yourself from Point A, to a distant Point B makes the 5K an invaluable test.

Interestingly, for a person of average height, the distance to the visible horizon is roughly 4.8km, making the length of this run about "as far as you can see."

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.

In this presentation from 2019, Greg Glassman tells the story of how bad science, primarily in the form of corruption, led him to make business decisions to fight to protect his affiliate gyms.
With chronic diseases ravaging the world due to sedentarism and excessive carbohydrate consumption, Greg’s gyms offered cures and prevention through lifestyle change. The professional trainers affiliated with Greg through CrossFit were offering solutions and support that frequently flew in contrast to the commonly accepted, though corrupted, medical and scientific practices. Greg knew that much of the science was flawed, and rallied here for his affiliates to keep fighting the good fight.

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.
