Latest Training

As a way of increasing balance, coordination, and strength I have started to do crossfit style overhead squats. Essentially this is a normal full squat that you do while holding a barbell over your head. Be careful, you might think you can do a lot of weight, but you can't. I did 3 sets of 12-15 reps with about 65lbs (24Kg). I have also started doing weighted dips, pull ups, and chin ups. For weighted dips I do 3-4 sets of 6-10 reps with an extra 90lbs (40Kgs). For pull ups and chin ups I do 3-4 sets of 6-10 reps with an extra 25lbs (~12Kgs) - 45lbs (~20Kgs). The weighted dips and pull/chin ups I hope will help with my one-handed and one-armed pulls/chins.
