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 + P90X2 Base and Back

Deadlift + X2 Base and Back

So did the Base and back warmup and then did my deadlifts 15 @ 18kg, 12 @ 28kg & 8 @ 38kg then hit base and back but had trouble with my pull ups.

Because my chin up assist is fubar I tried my door hanging/beachbody pull up bar with a black band and put my knee in for the first few but my knee doesn't like being squished. Tried another type of assist with a blue band in my rack but it was too easy and awkward grrrr - I thought it might be better than the chair but I was wrong.
So in the end I did pull downs @ 35kg which is better than nothing but somehow just not as satisfying.
Will def. try the chair assist up and negative down next session to see if I can build some more strength. But I know that can get very painful so as I can do a good 8 reps with the 35kg pull down I'll up it to 40kg and see how many I can do? To get the best of both worlds.

See how I go if all else fails will get another assist grrrr 
Please ignore my thinking aloud and venting nobody else quite understands
