More good news on Grains – Not.

Neurologist Dr. David Perlmutter has written a book called Grain Brain that is making waves and setting conventional medical wisdom on its ear. When even Dr. Oz goes on record as saying whole grains are bad and the right saturated fats are good for preventing or even reversing Alzheimer’s disease and other brain issues (like ADHD, insomnia, dementia and depression), you know the tide is turning.

Check out the attached CBC video with the Neurologist.  It’s convincing and I’m sure there is still more to be learned and debated with how much we genetically modify grains and the vast processing methods we use on them in N America compared to Europe.  Maybe the experts should look more into that.

 Tuesday’s Workout

A1. Submax Alt Drops – 1/3 Squats, 4 reps, 2 sets

A2. Submax Alt Drops – Lunge, 4 reps, 2 sets

Start on tippie toes and drop as fast as possible, stopping as quickly as possible at the desired hight.  Shake legs out between each rep.  Take a little time between each set.

Maximal speed and stopping on a dime are what we are after here.

B. Max Vertical Jump 1.1.1 x 2

Take a 7-10 second rest between reps of the jump clusters.  Take a 2-3min rest between each jump cluster.

Compare with October 1st

C. Row 10 sec  for peak Wattage.

Rest 1:50 seconds. 10 sets.

Record the highest power (watts) you see for any pull.

Full strokes only, no race starts.

This isn’t just ‘get the fly wheel spinning a little’. It should be a max effort every stroke.

Compare with October 4th

I’d like you to record two things today.  1. Your max vertical jump. 2. Your avg peak wattage
