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!

P90X Hyb Month 2 Back and Biceps

I did most of the pull ups today as kneeling pull downs for two reasons - 1) to try to build up more strength & 2) cautious with shoulder although its feeling much better.

I did some light weight 20kg/45lb (especially towel and corn cobs) and some 30kg/66lb but my shoulder felt good so for chin ups I used Chin up max on the bar.

This workout really does fry your biceps!!!! I managed the strip set the same as last time I did this workout so I need to up that for next week.

At the end of the workout I decreased the resistance of my chin up max by two inches. So although I may get less reps I'm after building the strength. No point getting 8-10 reps of assisted pull ups if that doesn't get you closer to unassisted right?
John would you advise going for 6-8 assisted at less resistance then when I hit 8 again decreased again for 6-8 or should I be aiming at 4-6?? Any other thoughts for chin up strength progression???
