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!

BB Bulk Back

It's been a pretty busy full on day but at the end of it it was great to get a real workout in at last lol

Kept the weights the same except upped the 8 rep set Deadlift by 1kg - its not much I know but every little bit soon adds up = another pr!

But I did notice my knee caving a little during the deadlifts which is what the physio spotted was a problem for me. It has irritated it a little but after a couple hours rest it feels fine thank goodness.

Can't wait till next week till he tells me how to fix it ;)

Body Beast Bulk Back and 22MHC Special Ops Core

Had a long but great day and finally feel I can share...... we finally got our formal mortgage offer and the sale has been agreed on the property we've been wanting and waiting on for 3 months now. So wahoo!!!!! Finally get to move to a place of our own and out of the current harassing toxic situation we are in ;) :) ;) ;)

It been a really stressful time (12 months of tireless looking and many disappointments ) and the waiting has been crazy hard but thankfully my workouts keep my sane! More stress to come I know but it will be great and so worth it when is done up - I even get my own bigger gym room with big gorgeous mirrors!!!!


My workout although later than usual went well too. Upped all my weights except the Force Set of 1 arm rows - I'm using 22.5lbs (for 5 x 5 without dropping) and the increase to 30lb is a big jump ;( 

Deadlifts I upped the 8 reps set to 50kg / 110lb so yay!

Special Ops Core was tough as usual but I think I got quite a few more reps done and felt stronger through out ;)

Body Beast Bulk Back and 22MHC Special Ops Core

Was short on time tonight after an unexpected meeting so was slightly rushed but got it done.

Pleased with deadlifts tonight as upped the 8 reps set to 48kg / 106lb, the rest I kept the same but should have increased the plank rotation (got the wrong weights in my rush).

Special Ops Core was fun but tough as usual lol I did my best and forgot the rest :)

Body Beast Bulk Back

Had a pretty active day today, clearing out the coal house and then a few hours work ( I know its saturday but we have staff on holiday so more hours needed). But got home and went straight into Bulk Back and loved it. Felt great to lift properly especially deadlifts.
Slightly cautious but 15/12/8 reps and drop set of 8 with 20kg/44lb / 30kg/66lb / 46kg/101lbs then drop set back down to 30kg/66lb and the weight was right to push me but not to high for not lifting heavy in a while. It felt awesome ;)
Pretty pleased with my one arm row too @ 22.5lb / 10kg for 5 x 5 reps without dropping the weight phew!

Then did some foam rolling that I should have done a week ago lol.

Bodybeast Bulk Shoulders and Bulk Back

After driving and being out most of the day yesterday didn't gt my workout in so doubled up to catch up.

Went pretty well, shoulders not increasing massively nor some of the back moves but deadlift up again to 49kg for 8 reps so pleased with that.

Bodybeast Bulk Back

This was hard work today somehow, even the single row was just too god darn heavy tonight. Had to drop from 25lb to 22.5lb and still took breaks???

Got my deadlift up to 47kg for 8 reps though so that was a positive and the only increase on the day, oh except that I got all 30 pull ups just with a little toe help.

Some days are like this I guess, get some good food and rest and come back stronger for it!

Bodybeast Bulk Back and Shoulders

So I did Bulk Back tonight, increased my weights on pull over, the reverse grip row and up another 2kg / 4.4lb on my deadlift ;)

Chased it with Bulk Shoulders to catch up and was really chuffed to increase my Arnold press ;) I upped my upright row and reverse fly too.

Great workout and it felt much better working all of me instead of just one part - Is it just me that feels odd working one part per day????

BodyBeast Bulk Back

I do enjoy Bulk back. I upped my deadlift to 44kg/97lb Barbell for 8 so pleased with that and doing the forced set one arm row with 25lb / 11kg just like pretty boy in the back feels good too!!
Lets Beast up!!!

Got my HRM working after a reset..

Bodybeast Bulk Back

Really enjoyed this one tonight, probably because I got to deadlift again but it felt great. I even managed all 30 (3 x 10) pull ups (assisted) so really pleased with that - good improved from 27 last time in Build back.

No HRM again didn't even try it.
