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!

FRIDAY 100108 & Sunday 100110

Went for a two in one today as it made sense as I'm trying to catch up

Warm up= arm swings/rotations, knee highs and side to side lunges with overhead press, 10 abmat situps with arms cross chest feet unachored butterfly, 10 abmat back extensions, 10 dislocates, 10 air squats. Power clean and push jerk @ 10kg x 3, 15 x 3 and 20 x 2

FRIDAY 100108
Power clean 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps
21PR-22PR-24PR-26PR-28PR(61lb)-27-30f-29f

Sunday 100110
Push Jerk 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps
21PR-22PR-24PR-26PR(57lb)-28f-27 just (pushed to lock out, if at the games it would count but not the greatest form me thinks so won't count it as pr)

Pretty fatigued today especially after thrusters yesterday but fairly pleased with progress. Surprised myself how well I did/was doing and then failed miserably ie muscle failure and I dropped the barbell (I workout in my spareroom and try never to drop the bar!) - which then turned into a bit of a mental thing because I just couldn't do it. called it quits but then tried again with just 20kg on the bar and pulled it that hard I had to pull it down DOH!!!

Not done 1RM power cleans or push jerks before so all good base to work from. The most I've ever had over my head was a 25kg 1RM Press so please with 26 / 27kg. But next time I don't think a two in one is the best idea, you can't really give one your all, kind of divided if you know what I mean - it makes you realise what muscles you use tho' lol.
