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!

100408 Puppies:
Three rounds for time of:
35-45 pound Deadlift, 12 reps
35-45 pound Hang power clean, 9 reps
35-45 pound Push jerk, 6 reps

I did 35 lb / 16kg for all - done in 5.09 mins.

Good workout - I felt I got the weight spot on - the DL’s were piece of cake and allowed for a breather and the rest were ok to tough in round 2 & only just made in in round 3 - I pushed myself and it felt good. I was alsopleased with the time I took. Just a few breaths to keep me going, only put the bar down to reset for deadlift and no bar staring smile

Compare to ..

SUNDAY 100314
Pull-ups 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps

Blue band assisted at pin 5 with both feet together
Blue band assisted at pin 5 with 1 foot on band only
Blue band assisted at pin 3 with both feet together - F only got eyes to bar
Blue band assisted at pin 4 with both feet together - wahoo new PR
Blue band assisted at pin 4 with 1 foot - New PR but felt a slight pull at upper left abs
Blue band assisted at pin 4 with the other foot lol - equal PR and not a fluke lol - I knew I couldn't do anymore having failed the pin 3 already - thats the min target for next time!

Stoked about doing 2 chin ups at pin 3 :D

Strange thing is apart from doing wod's and the u/h pulldowns at cashout the other day I haven't really been working at it - Yay me - but my push ups that I'm working at seem to be really hard work grrr
