Test 5

For time:

Run 800 meters
21 thrusters
21 L pull-ups

Men use 75 lb. for the thruster.
Women use 55 lb. for the thruster.

The L pull-ups are pull-ups with the legs extended straight out in front of the body. Any pull-up where the heels fall below the butt or the legs bend other than slightly is disallowed.

Where necessary, the load for the thrusters may be reduced and the L pull-ups can be assisted by gently lifting the heels of allowing a “sloppy L.” For those not able to perform a pull-up, as assisted pull-up device may be used.

Tabata squat
4 minutes of muscle-ups

The Tabata squats take 4 minutes—20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest, for 8 consecutive rounds. The 4 minutes of muscle-ups starts immediately after. Muscle-up reps need not be consecutive. Resting between reps is O.K. The total number completed is what counts.

The Overhead Lifts
Learning the progression of lifts that moves from the shoulder press to the push press to the push jerk has long been a staple of our regimen.
"This progression offers the opportunity to acquire some essential motor recruitment patterns found in sport and life (functionality) while greatly improving strength in the 'power zone' and upper body. In terms of power zone and functional recruitment patterns, the push press and push jerk have no peer among the other presses like the 'king' of upper body lifts, the bench press.

Lessons Learned from CrossFit and Applied by The Broken Science Medical Society
"The science of medicine today is a mess of irreproducibility, statistical manipulation, financial conflicts of interest, and incentives that do not promote healing or prevention. It is high time we establish a new standard in medicine, one that mirrors the rigorous, functional, and inclusive principles many of us learned from CrossFit, but tailored to the unique demands of scientific and medical research."

Hypertension, obesity, exercise, drugs, and dollars
Are pharmaceuticals more expensive and less effective at treating hypertension than diet and exercise?
In this article, Lon Kilgore explores the widespread issue of hypertension and its connection to obesity, exercise, pharmaceuticals, and financial burden. He highlights how the lowering of diagnostic criteria for hypertension over the years has led to more individuals being classified as hypertensive, increasing reliance on medication rather than lifestyle changes. Despite the availability of numerous antihypertensive drugs, their efficacy in reducing blood pressure is moderate, and they often come with side effects. The rising costs of pharmaceutical interventions also places a significant financial burden on individuals, especially those that are prescribed lifelong medication. In contrast, evidence shows that diet and exercise can be more effective in lowering blood pressure than single-drug therapy, yet public adherence to such interventions remains low.
