Welcome to my fitness log

I've created this to keep everything to do with my fitness journey in one place for easy reference.
I've listed links to places I visit regularly or places I think are interesting or valuable resources.

I started doing Crossfit September 22nd 2009 and I loved it - it's totally awesome and it made me a better person in so many different ways!

After nearly 4 years of Crossfit and wrist injury I tried a home fitness DVD for a change and something new - Rip 60 was really great and then I found Beachbody / Tony Horton's P90X!
It's THE best home fitness program ever!!!
It changed my body in so many amazing ways and got my cardio fitness, my core and overall strength including push up strength better than ever before!!

I now do many Beachbody programs as they are all so great.
I 'm a big Tony Horton fan because he makes me work hard but makes me laugh at the same time.
After I completed P90X, I did P90X3, P90X2 and some P90X+. I''ve tried other Beachbody programs including the P90, Piyo, Focus T25,
21 Day Fix Extreme, Country Heat, BodyBeast and Insanity, The Aslyum 1 and 2. Completed 21 Day Fix and 22 Min hard Core.

Did some Insanity Max 30 and Core de Force but my knees can't handle jumping every day so I have to mix them in.
Shift shop is great and looking forward to the new 80 Day obsession.

I'm the fittest I've ever been in my life and still getting stronger every day!

Wednesday 090923
Five rounds for max reps of:
Body weight bench press
Pull-ups
Body weight back squat

scales to buttercup
0.25 bodyweight

So I did 18kg for bench and squats and 18kg u/h pulldown for pull ups

Reps as follows..

BP - 10-10-8-8-8
PD - 20-14-14-12-12
BS - 10-10-8-8-8

Took 31 mins

I didn't push to the max but was please with the workout. Long time since I done any benching.

I took 1 3.4 scopps of recovery and showered.

But I was wiped out afterwards - energy levels hit rock bottom till I'd eaten some food. I thought I had been pretty conservative and yet still wiped = not good. I think I need to do less rounds for a while so if 5 is prescribed do 3 etc and scale the workload more maybe??? Its so annoying especially when the weights weren't heavy for me if you know what I mean. grrrrrr frustration
