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!

Thurs 091112 Clean and Jerk 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps

I wanted to practice technique with this as not done much before so I did a few warm ups with a 8kg/17lb bar - felt good so thought I'd see what I could do
9kg-10kg-12kg-14kg-16kg-18kg-20kg/44lb

It went really well - I was really pleased with my form and the progress and it felt good.
If someone told me a few months ago that I could clean & jerked 20kg I would have laughed but I did it and could have done more too!! Awesome god this crossfit is soooo brilliant .

Finished with a few monkey hangs and swings, a couple of hanging knee raises and 5 black band assisted pull ups. I'm really getting stronger I can can get my chin over the bar with much less ie nearly no bouce now = progress!

Edit:- just realised from reading elsewhere that my jerk portian was actually a push press and not a 'catch in a partial squat' jerk - DOH!!!
