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!

Deadlifts + P90X Legs and Back

Deadlifts + X Legs and Back

Did Legs and Back warm up then some deadlifts...
Deadlifts were 15 @ 17kg, 12 @ 27kg & 8 @ 39kg

Then into legs and back and I pushed myself today, I upped most of weights again  

I upped the pull downs to 40kg and that 5kg made a difference as my 5-8 reps went down to 4-6 reps which I guess is to be expected but I'm trying to build a bit more strength to helps me do more unassisted ones. I only managed 1 & 3/4 unassisted chins tonight.
Still trying to decide on the chin up assist???? The pull downs I think will help but the movement does feel slightly different??

But this is the end of this 3 week phase so recovery/different week coming up and a change is as good as a rest so I'm thinking of switching things up a little before I get back to more of the same.
I've done 14 weeks of my own hybrid and I think it's going pretty well, my body is looking much better and I'm getting stronger so it working  

But I'm thinking of trying a bit of Les Mills Pump so still weights but lighter and more reps..a lot more reps so it will be a challenge in a different way.
