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!

Press + metcon 110902

Finally a wod after days of agony from 75 squats the other day downer

Warm up:- Spealler, 10 wallballs, 12 red band dislocates, 4 mountain climbers, 2 hollow body rocks, 10 situps, 10 back ext’s, 8 assisted chin ups, 10 push ups pin 5, 5 beginner body rows, 10 bench dips

Press
10 @ 8kg
6 @ 14kg
5 @ 21kg / 46lb Failed 3rd rep, rested a 1 min or so and tried again but failed on 4th rep red face

I think I taxed my shoulder too much during the warm up and my lifts always suffer when I power clean the bar up first! Also I think I need less warm up reps as my shoulder felt tired at the 6th rep of the 6 rep warm so lessen learnt for next time - will redo next press session to if I can get it, if not I will change to 3’s again.

Metcon 110902 Power cleans, bar facing burpees
dcaled to 12-9-6-3 reps for time of
12kg Power cleans
Squat thrusts

Done in 3.58mins

Powercleans were way too easy for me so up them for next time. Squat thrust were about right, tough and had to break them up to finish the first few sets. Hope my foot is ok?

Stretch and foam roller with 1 full push up.
