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!

Back squat & 110901 Weighted chins

Warm up:- Spealler, 10 wallballs, 12 red band dislocates, 4 mountain climbers, 3 squat thrusts, 2 hollow body rocks, 10 back ext’s, 8 assisted chin ups, 10 push ups pin 5, 5 squat @ 7kg

Back Squat
10 @ 15kg
6 @ 25kg
3 @ 34kg felt good and strong so went for another
3 @ 36kg / 79lb

Wod 110901 Weighted Chins
I did most assistance using pull up revolution
top - 2" - 4" - 6" - 8"
Last was tough only just made the 2nd rep and completely failed 3rd, rested a few and tried but forget it total failure at about half way up

Stretch and foam roller, and got 1 push up but slowly.


I'm wondering if I'm doing too much variety of strength stuff that my goals are not coming as fast I would like - ie too much diluting going on (trying ot get stronger at everything at the same time) - I think I need to concentrate on my goals of push ups and chin ups till I acheive them and let the squats and dl's grow slowly with wods until I reach my goals then I can add the variety back in?? Make sense anyone??

Actually the more I think about it - I just need to get more workouts done then there's no problem. Because to just alternate Push ups and chins as strength with metcon will be tricky and I think I'll overworked them pretty quickly? So just stick to the plan and get on with it! More workout day needed!

I think I was just disheartened with the few recent failures!!
