Reps of the pull-ups decrease each round, while the double-unders stay at 20. 10 pull-ups and 20 DUs, then 9 pull-ups and 20 DUs, then 8 pull-ups and 20 DUs, etc.

If you cannot complete 10 strict pull-ups while fresh, begin at a later round (8, 7, etc.) so each round remains manageable. You will likely still break the pull-ups into multiple sets, but avoid starting with a round you cannot complete.

Lactate, Fuel Selection, and Metabolic Flexibility
How lactate helps the body match its fuel to the demands of exercise
This 2009 study shows that lactate is more than a byproduct of high-intensity exercise—it also helps coordinate which fuels the body makes available. As exercise intensity rises and glucose metabolism accelerates, increasing lactate activates the GPR81 receptor in fat cells, suppressing lipolysis and reducing the release of fatty acids. The authors propose that this helps shift fuel availability toward carbohydrate, which can better support the rapid energy demands of high-power work.

Obesity and the Mitochondrial Machinery That Makes ATP
Reduced ATP production may reflect a protective response to metabolic stress
This 2019 study examined skeletal muscle from lean and obese, insulin-resistant adults and found that obesity was associated with reduced production of β-F1-ATPase, a key component of mitochondrial ATP synthase, as well as lower ATP synthase activity. The authors describe these changes as an impairment that reduces the muscle’s capacity to generate ATP.

Bringing the Mind into Medicine
Why Integrating Science and Experience is the Way Forward
In another examination of the mind-body connection in medicine, Martin Picard argues that despite remarkable advances in diagnostics, pharmacology, and surgery, chronic disease rates keep climbing and U.S. life expectancy continues to fall behind that of other developed nations. He traces this paradox to an understudied factor: the human mind.

Emily Kaplan on the Dr. Drew Show
Fauci, COVID, vaccine risk, and the failures of medical science
Broken Science Initiative co-founder Emily Kaplan joins Dr. Drew to discuss what the COVID era exposed about the way medical science is produced, communicated, and translated into public policy. Using the newly released Fauci messages and the debate over COVID vaccine risk during pregnancy, Kaplan distinguishes between public health decisions made for populations and healthcare decisions made for individual patients, while examining how statistics can obscure meaningful differences in individual risk.

Regulatory Capture Is Killing American Medicine
Emily Kaplan joins the Capitalists for Capitalism podcast
BSI and MetFix co-founder Emily Kaplan joins host Alexander McCobin to discuss how replication failures, publication bias, misleading presentations of medical risk, and financial incentives have undermined the reliability of medical research and shaped patient care. She uses examples including statins, clinical trial reporting, and AMA billing codes to show how the incentives surrounding medicine can influence which treatments doctors provide and how their benefits are presented.

Ahead of Alzheimer's: Episode 7
Louise Fisher on caregiving, early diagnosis, and finding hope after Alzheimer's
Louise Fisher shares the story of her husband Alan's Alzheimer's diagnosis and explains why she views early testing as a source of agency rather than despair. Diagnosed at 65, Alan chose to participate in a clinical trial and used the years that followed to travel, document his family's genealogy, meet his grandchildren, and make important financial and legal decisions while he still could. Louise argues that an early diagnosis gives families time to plan, adapt, and make the most of the years ahead.

Fructose Fuels Pancreatic Cancer Growth
How fructose helps cancer build the raw materials needed to grow
This 2010 study found that pancreatic cancer cells metabolize fructose differently than glucose. Rather than primarily using fructose to produce energy, the cells preferentially divert it into the pentose phosphate pathway, where it is used to make the nucleic acids required for DNA and RNA synthesis. Fructose also increased the activity of transketolase, a key enzyme that supports cell proliferation.
