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!

Squat, Press, Power Clean + Metcon triplet

Warm up:- spealler, 10 wallballs, 5 kick up attempts (my wrist is beginning to feel better), 5 hollow body practice, 10 supermans

Squat
3 x air
3 x air with feet 12 inch from wall and struggled for depth (as per magdaw2020 - I tried 9" but I just can't get down)
3 x air with feet 14" from wall and depth good - so now I now what to work on next lol
3 x front squat @ 7kg
3 x front squat @ 7kg - concentrating hard to keep weight over midfoot - get that chest up and elbows high grrr!

Press
5 @ 7kg
5 @ 7kg
5 @ 10kg
5 @ 14kg
5 @ 17kg / 37lb

Power Clean
Worked on form then went for 1RM
8 @ 7kg
3 @ 15kg
3 @ 20kg
3 @ 20kg again to make sure I kep t it close
2 @ 25kg
1 @ 28kg
1 @ 30kg but not very clean equals PR from Dec 10!
1 @ 32kg / 70lb but poor form ie I caught in hand and not on delts grrr

Metcon triplet
Air squat 12-9-6
10kg / 22lb Press 21-15-9
10kg / 22lb Power Clean 12-9-6
Done in 8.27mins
Press was really tough - muscles ie front delts & tri's really complaining! dont think i'll up the weight of the metcon press next session - if I can do the same quicker - build up the endurance as these were a little sloggy! Power clean was really light but I worked it skill and it helped with the metcon side - long time since I've done many!!

1 negative push up and 1 push up attempt - made it a few inches again - hollow body is much better - I'm going up as one unit just need the strength
stretch and foam roller  - worked on upper back too to trying and help that rack position/elbows

note:- I was very aware of my hamstrongs today during my workout - not quite sure why?
