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!

Start of getting stronger

ok life seems to be normalising at last!

I've been spending some my downtime working on a strength building plan to try get myself stronger and finally achieve my goals of an unassisted chin up and get my push ups again without wrist pain.

So using Wendlers 5/3/1 with 7 weeks to 100 push ups along with some short bransdx scaled metcons when I feel I need them or can do them I started today with...

Warm up:- Spealler warm up, 5 wall balls, 5 wrist leans, 9 red band dislocates, Shoulder press x 5 @7kg, 5 @10kg, 3 blue band assisted chin with feet 12" apart.

Shoulder Press (hang cleaned the weight each set)
5 @ 14kg
5 @ 16kg
5+ @ 18kg - did 5 and put it down then remember it should be max reps on last round so picked it up and managed another 3 reps

Chin up with blue band assist @ pin 5
5 @ feet together
5 @ right leg only
5+ @ left leg only - got 6 reps just

c/o 90 single unders 3 x 30 reps. Long time since I done any and wondered how foot and wrist would feel. 5 Laying leg raises. Stretch and foam roller.
