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!

Bench Press + metcon 110824 Santiago


Warm up:- speller, wall balls, bench press 10 @ 7kg

CFSB Lite
Bench Press
10 @ 12kg
6 @ 22kg
3 @ 31kg / 68lb - failed 3rd rep about 1/2 up with left side grrr - thank goodness for my safety bars. Rested a few mins and tried to lift it but nope, had to slide out from under it.


Pre metcon warm up
Hang squat clean 3 @ 2kg DB's, 3 @ 4kg DB's, 2 @ 7kg DB's, 3 PU Rev assisted chin ups, Power cleans 3 @7kg, 3 @ 12kg, 2 @ 16kg - found a strange pain in right glut when lifting so rolled on a tennis ball, 3 push ups on knees

Metcon 110924 Santiago scaled to
3 RFT of
7kg / 15lb DB Hand Squat Clean x 12
PU rev chin ups x 12
16kg / 35lb Power Clean x 10
10 push ups - on knees

Done in:- Stopped after 2 rounds @ 14.57mins - so slow - I felt like I was going in slow motion.
The DB HSC were tough, the chins were slow and broken up (5-3-2-2 & 4-3-2-2-1), PC's were ok and felt light by comparison to the rest, Push ups I did all on knees due to room logistics and although broken up I was quite pleased with. But after 2 rounds and way over my normal 10 mins range I decided to stop and not be pig headed.
