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!

Deadlift test 1RM, HKR and short metcon

Warm up:- spealler, 10 wallballs, 3 DL's @ 7kg

Deadlift Test 1RM

3 @ 32kg / 70lb
3 @ 47kg / 104lb
2 @ 57kg / 125lb
2 @ 64kg / 141lb
1 @ 74kg / 163lb
1 @ 77kg / 170lb NEW PR = 115%BW bigsmile

Abs
3 x Hanging Knee Raises
3 x HKR
3 x HKR

Short Metcon <10mins
21-15-9
8" box jumps
Power snatch @ 7kg (still wary of wrist)
Pull ups (blue band assist feet 0-18" apart, changed grip every 2 reps)

I did the 21 & 15 in 9.44 mins ( pull ups were really slow & sloggy) and stopped there.

Felt great to get a metcon done.
Wrist was clicking in the latter reps of the 15 power snatches but no pain.
Pull ups really slowed me down - it seems ages since I done more than 5 reps in one go! But I'm concentrating on strength at the moment, so loosing a little endurance is no great shakes.
