For time:

3 rounds of:

Row 1,000 meters

Plausible Reasoning 2
What Is Science and What Isn't It?
Much of modern American science, especially in academia and media, has devolved into politicized "scientism" lacking true scientific rigor, driven more by consensus and funding than predictive models and validation. In contrast, real science is objective, testable, and often found in high-stakes industrial settings like defense technology.

The BTS Truth about Net Carbs
How the ‘net carbs’ concept came to be, and was eventually bastardized by the food industry.
Anyone who’s weighed and measured their food while tracking macronutrients is familiar with the concept of ‘net carbs.’ Take the total carbs, subtract the fiber, and you’re left with net carbs, which is all you need to track. The practice traces back to the concept that the human body cannot digest fiber and turn it into calories, so while technically carbohydrates, they shouldn’t be counted in your macronutrient totals.

A Postural Error
The most powerful forces that can be generated by the human body are initiated, controlled, and dominated by the hip. Unfortunately, in the majority of trainees, some degree of hip dysfunction creates postures and mechanics that reduce power and stability and are generally unsound.
The article "A Postural Error" by Greg Glassman explains how hip dysfunction, termed Muted Hip Function (MHF), compromises power, stability, and mechanics in athletes. It identifies poor hip extension as a common issue during movements like push presses, leading to instability and reduced performance.
