Hippocrates - "All Disease Begins in the Gut"

As many of you know, I am a big fan of fermented foods - sauerkraut, kimchi and kombucha to name a few.  The thing is, no matter how "clean" your diet is, if your gut health isn't great, you really can't get the most out of nutrient dense foods. One of the ways to diversify the flora in your gut is to eat fermented foods. In the article below,  Dr. Mercola sent a sample of sauerkraut off to the lab to have the culture analyzed. They found that a 4-6 ounce serving of homemade sauerkraut had ten trillion bacteria!!!

Below is an interview between Chris Kresser and Jeff Leach from The American Gut Project. Read all about pre and probiotics below.  This is a great article if you are interested in Dr. McBride's GAPS diet (Gut and Psychology Syndrome).  Many doctors and scientists are reporting on the intimate connection between the gut and your mental health. Neurological disorders are also being treated with the GAPS protocol.

One of the more interesting ideas presented in the above interview is that folks following a low carb diet might not be getting enough resistant starch. Resistant starch is what feeds and enables bacteria to grow in your gut (I will post on this in the next few days).

When we were researching what foods to stock the Flux market with,  I was delighted to come across the Firefly Kitchens kimchi (basically Asian sauerkraut).  Check out their website below to read all about their products.

Independent Training at Flux - School of Human Movement

You may have noticed on the MindBody schedule that we have added in some new classes called Independent Training. These sessions are for students involved in the Executive Coaching Program as well as athletes involved in the competition stream of CrossFit or weightlifting who need to get in extra hours of training.  These training sessions are also open to advanced students in general who again, want to get in more training hours.

These sessions are not open to beginners or junior athletes as they are not coached sessions.

If you have any questions, please contact fluxcrossfit.info@gmail.com. 

ENJOY YOUR TEMPO

Wow! It has been such a pleasure witnessing the improvements in people's upper body strength work.  Your tempo training has been exemplary and is it ever paying off.  Why is tempo training so effective? First off, it helps to mitigate against injury.  Even the simple recognition that there is a tempo is going to slow you down and slow equals control.  This is why we don't allow people to do kip until they have a 30 sec eccentric. As I have mentioned before, the shoulder socket is very shallow and it is this shallowness which aids the shoulder to move in such complex ways.  The trade off though, is that the shoulder is prone to injury precisely because the humerus sits in this very shallow socket.  If the scapula isn't anchoring the humerus properly, you are far more prone to an impingement (the head of the humerus rubs against the roof of the acromium).  This is why we are constantly talking about scapular activation and strength.  Too often, we see people rely on momentum rather than strength but the implementation of a tempo aids in providing some quality control in the moment. A tempo also helps students to strengthen their weakest points in a movement.  If I just tell you to do an eccentric chin up I do not get an accurate assessment of your scapular strength.  But with a tempo I can quickly glean whether  you are weak at the top, the bottom, or  the middle of your pull and then use a tempo to address the weakness.

A good teacher will compel the student to adhere to the exact tempo given. If it is 5 seconds, we don't mean 3 seconds, we mean 5 seconds! Tempo training often means taking a step or two back. Try doing a ring or bar dip @ 51x1 for 5 sets as compared to no tempo.  With this tempo, you have 35 sec of time under tension as opposed to zero seconds of time under tension.  When you can do 2-3 extreme range of motion ring dips for 5 sets @ 51x1, I guarantee that the strict muscle up will not seem so daunting.

One more thing about quality control.  I hate to be cynical but when people tell me that they can do x number of chin ups or ring dips or push ups, I rarely believe them.  Don't tell me what you can do. Show me what you can do.  A 31x1 tempo on a chin up or pull-up (where the chest must touch the bar for a full second), and the athlete must be fully extended in the bottom for 1 second, gives me an excellent idea of someone's pulling strength.  Tempo lends itself to accountability.

What to Eat for Breakfast

Many moons ago, Ido introduced me to the meat and nut breakfast as advocated by Charles Poliquin.
Take a look at it.

WEEK 2 of TESTING

This is our last week of testing. I chose CrossFit Benchmark wods this time around, but next time it will include Flux testing wods as well.  Let's keep the momentum going this week.

A. In 25 minutes find your max clean and jerk. Unless you are a competitive weightlifter at Flux, do not make too big of jumps once you are 15 lbs under your max.  There is nothing wrong with adding 3-5 lbs at a time. This will give you more practice and confidence.  As an example, if you max is 175 lbs, don't jump from 165 to 175 lbs. You are much better off to make 3-5 lbs jumps.  If my CrossFit athlete nails 165 lbs with confidence but has never gone for more than that, he or she would be advised to go to 170, then 174, 178 and finally, 181 lbs.

Intermediate: 3, 3, 3, 3; rest 2 minutes

Beginner: 5, 5, 5, 5; rest 2 minutes.

B. BENCHMARK JACKIE
To do prescribed, you must perform Fran at at least 55/85 lbs.

FLOOR WORK -please also include the pike drill (20 reps)  as well as plow with walk out (10 reps).

A. For Time:

30  Clean and Jerks 95/135 lbs

The original Grace simply calls for a clean and jerk but most people do it as a power clean.

To do this prescribed you need a 1RM of 125 lbs or 165 lbs.

Be smart with this one. The point is to be efficient in your movement, not to kill your previous time.

    Rest 6 Minutes

Wednesday, June 4, 2014

A. In 20 Min find your daily max snatch. 

This is you ONLY if you have no trouble getting into a full squat on your snatch. If you have mobility issues, you are training CrossFit to compete, and you only have a decent power snatch DO NOT do a full snatch max.  Do 3 sets of 5 and go up in weight on each set ONLY if you squat on each rep.

B.  Advanced:
      15 burpees
      Power snatch x 7 95/135 lbs
      Kipping muscle ups x 5
      Rest 3 minutes
      4 sets

No kipping muscle up but you have really solid strict false grip pull ups and ring dips? Use a band and do 3 reps.

No ring dips or false grip pull ups? Do 5 kipping pull ups and 3 bar dips (you may use ONLY the ORANGE band for your bar dips). If you do not have the strength for a DEEP bar dip, please do 5 push ups.
