Epigenetics

The way you move, eat and even think affects the expression of your genes. The reason I prescribe the movement, activity and eating patterns I do is because I have found these patterns to lead to the most favorable expression of ones genetic profile. Health has little to do with calories, target heart rate, etc. We want to turn the "good" genes on and leave the "bad" genes off.

The identical twins above have expressed their genetics in very different ways through their eating and movement patterns.

We are not slaves to our heredity.

We will be changing things up a bit for the next ME cycle. Each workout will have a slow lift and a "quick" lift. We will not be using Wendler's 5-3-1 for this cycle. The first movements are:

front squat
5-5-5 rest 3 minutes between sets
power clean
3-3-3 rest 3 minutes between sets

Perform a few (3 or more) sets of warm-ups for the movement. Next, perform your first work set with a weight you feel will be challenging but doable. If the lift is successful @ the prescribed rep range, add 10 lbs to the next set. If the lift is not successful @ the prescribed range, decrease the weight for the next set. Repeat this process for the third set.

The War on Fat

Here is an article I found from Mark's Daily Apple:

http://www.slate.com/id/2248754

It's a short piece and I recommend reading the whole thing. Actually,I wish every nutritionist and MD would read this article and Good Calories, Bad Calories by Gary Taubes http://www.amazon.com/Good-Calories-Bad-Gary-Taubes/dp/1400040787. Here is a VERY telling segment toward the end:

Will this new research on fat and carbs will be reflected in the 2010 Dietary Guidelines? According to Meir Stampfer, a Harvard professor of nutrition and epidemiology who worked on the 2000 guidelines, scientists on this year's committee know perfectly well what the evidence says. But few researchers want to shake the status quo or risk confusing the public. Robert Post, deputy director of the U.S. Department of Agriculture Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion, admits that when it comes to nutritional recommendations, "simple messages, few messages, targeted messages, are very important." Ultimately, then, policymakers have to choose between keeping the message consistent and actually getting it right.

So instead of an admission that the lipid hypothesis-dietary fat is bad and kills you so eat more carbs- is based on bad science and wrong, the USRDA doesn't want to confuse people by telling them the truth. This really confirms my extreme apprehension of the government having any say in my personal health decisions. Well, this and the condition of the roads.

What's in a Name?

Here is a link to a fantastic post by Kurt Harris:

ME Workout for the Week Ending 04.03.10

deadlift
70% X 3
80% X 3
90% X AMRAP (slight reset @ the bottom of each rep is ok)

03.25.10

2 rounds for total work time

run 800 meters
15 unbroken barbell thrusters @ 95lbs
rest 90 seconds
run 400 meters
25 pull-ups
rest 90 seconds

Once you pick the barbell up for the thrusters, you may only rest in the rack. Anything else constitutes a break and results in a restart of the thruster set. It is remarkable what you can do when you have to.
