"Lynne" - Five rounds for max reps of:
Body weight bench press
Pull-ups
For Lynne as rx'd, each "round" is 5 minutes long.
Start your BP on the minute, complete as many as possible without racking the weight. Once you have completed the BP, start your Pull-ups. Complete as many Pull-ups as possible (your set is complete once you release the bar). Now rest for what remains of the original 5 minutes (e.g. if it takes you 2 minutes to BP and do the Pull-ups, rest 3 minutes). Repeat 4 more time. Got it? (As an aside...do the exercise that you are weakest in first. E.g. for me, that of course means I do pull-ups before bench pressing)

I'm feeling old again! With the untimely deaths this past weekend of two influential entertainers, Isaac Hayes and Bernie Mac, I was forced to think about how short life really is. Based on census data, the life span for a black man in America is 72 years. 72!...meaning I was middle aged at 36.
As such I continue to remain focus on my (and your) health. We need to continue to work hard to be there for our loved ones and to ensure we can enjoy our time here.
Isaac Hayes was known as Black Moses, Ike The Ripper and, later, Chef from TV's South Park. Like many I was introduced to his musical talents by listening to the sound track he created for the movie Shaft. While the movie was one of many in the 70's with a theme that seems VERY out of date by today's standards, the movie's music created by Isaac and his other recordings will live on for a long time.
If you have not had an opportunity, you should give the sound track a listen. I'm sure you have heard the Grammy winning title track - but the rest of the album (yes album) ushered in a whole new sound. It was one of the first "funk" albums and is full of what the old folks call "belly rubbing" music. The song won him a Grammy and two Oscars, for “Best Song” and “Best Score” in 1972. That same year he won a Grammy for his double album Black Moses.
Bernie Mac (born Bernard Jeffrey McCullough on October 5, 1957) is a two time Emmy Award-nominated American actor and comedian.
Mac was born in Chicago, Illinois and was raised by a single mother, Mary, who died of cancer when he was sixteen. He started his career was in high school, where he would put on shows for neighborhood kids in Chicago's south side. During his 20s he worked in a variety of jobs; he was a furniture mover, UPS agent and a bread delivery sales rep.
Go to youtube and watch him do his thing.

Some kids should be on cholesterol drugs: study
Updated Mon. Jul. 7 2008 10:14 PM ET
CTV.ca News Staff
Children eight years of age or older should be treated with cholesterol medication if they are found to have high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or so-called bad cholesterol, a new report says.
The new recommendation from the American Academy of Pediatrics is a drastic step toward preventing cardiovascular disease among at-risk children, including those with high cholesterol.
CTV medical consultant Dr. Marla Shapiro said the recommendation to medicate kids with cholesterol drugs should not come as a surprise, given the dramatic rise in obesity among children.
"We're at the point where a large, respected pediatric society, which happens to be the American Pediatric Society, is taking a stand and really saying that with the rising epidemic of obesity, we know that in youth and young children this will translate into premature heart disease and stroke in the years to come," Shapiro told CTV Newsnet.
The report recommends cholesterol-lowering drugs for:

Children eight years of age or older should be treated with cholesterol medication if they are found to have high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or so-called bad cholesterol, a new report says.
The new recommendation from the American Academy of Pediatrics is a drastic step toward preventing cardiovascular disease among at-risk children, including those with high cholesterol.

"We're at the point where a large, respected pediatric society, which happens to be the American Pediatric Society, is taking a stand and really saying that with the rising epidemic of obesity, we know that in youth and young children this will translate into premature heart disease and stroke in the years to come," Shapiro told CTV Newsnet.
The report recommends cholesterol-lowering drugs for:
- Children with LDL levels of 190 mg per decilitre or higher.
- Children with an LDL reading of 160 mg per decilitre or higher, along with two heart disease risk factors in addition to a family history of early heart disease.
- Children with a reading of 130 mg per decilitre of LDL in addition to having diabetes.
The report says that cholesterol screening should be done after the age of two, but before the age of 10.
The recommendations are found in a report by the AAP, entitled Lipid Screening and Cardiovascular Health in Childhood. It is published in the July issue of Pediatrics.
While the report has been issued by American doctors, physicians in Canada say the results apply to all children.
"There have been a number of studies that have shown if you treat a child with high cholesterol levels that you can reverse the build up in their arteries even at a very young age," Dr. Brian McCrindle of Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children told CTV News.
However, Dr. Richard Tytus, a family physician in Hamilton, Ont., says that while cholesterol drugs are generally safe for children, the long-term effects of them are not yet known. As well, children will learn the lesson that a pill can be a quick fix for any problem.
"My point is let's not treat the symptoms, let's treat the cause," Tytus told CTV News.
The report's recommendations also include:
- Cholesterol screening for children who have a family history of heart disease risk factors such as obesity, high blood pressure or diabetes.
- Cholesterol screening for children with unknown family medical history.
- Lifestyle changes, such as an improved diet and an increase in physical activity, for reducing high cholesterol in children younger than eight.
- Another test, within three to five years, if a child's LDL levels are within a normal range.
Shapiro said that in Canada, doctors are already screening children for high cholesterol, particularly if they have a family history of the condition.
"But now we're saying that we should emphasize looking at children as individuals regardless of family history," Shapiro said. "If they themselves carry an individual risk, that's something that we should be looking at."

As they say, the only constant is change. This change, I think, will be for the better. Going forward, we are adding some stuff to the TitanFit mix. We are doing so to put the 10 elements of fitness (see below) to the test. That and to get out of the gym every now and again.

Mulitaffiliate Competition
CrossFit Milwaukee is hosting a Mulitaffiliate Competition. If you are interested, we'll drive up there to represent TitanFit and Indy. Below is the URL...
http://www.crossfitmilwaukee.com/events/wisconsins-first-mulitaffiliate-competition
When: August 24th, 2008, 9AM
Where: St. Mary’s Hill in Milwaukee
What: Our first regional gathering that potentially will include competitors from at least seven affiliates or affiliates in the making. The workout will consist of at least four activities. Two of these will favor heavier people, two will favor lighter people. Two of the events will favor shorter people and two will favor taller people - it will be a level playing field for all involved (not terrain-wise however - the only hint I’m giving anyone is that the hill will be involved in the workout).
All people interested in competing must email (ryan@crossfitmilwaukee.com) no later than August 17th. Please include your full name, gender, age and the CrossFit affiliate you practice at and/or wish to be associated with, if any.
The day will start off with individual competitions. There will be at least two divisions each for men and women with a separate division for CrossFit trainers/affiliate owners. We will run the competitors through the workout in heats of 4-6 people and should be able to wrap up the individual competition by noon. Tentative plans after that include a cookout and a hooverball tournament.
