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!

First back squat since May

It's been just over 2 months and it feels longer since I've done any weighted squats so decided to see how I went with some 5 reps

W/u with 10 x 7kg 10 x 17kg

5-5-5-5-5
27kg - 32 - 33 - 34 - 35kg / 77lb

Now where near my 44kg / 97lb 5RM back in May but I didn't want to push too hard and be stupid.
My foot is still delicate but getting there. My shoulders really knew to being in the back squat low bar position groan lol !

Wanted to try some push ups on the push bars but felt pretty wiped after the squats
Got 1 and then failed 2nd - not too suprised but at least I got 1 which I think is my first time ever so still a PR of sorts
