Great vid, thanks. Impressive with that weight!

I tried these with light weights (20kg) as a warmup to bouldering. Really good.

Also tried overhead squats - which I've never done before - and nearly ripped my arms out of the shoulder sockets :-( Guess I'm sticking to front squats until I can work that one out.

OH squats I use a much wider grip, and a pretty light weight.

I tried a neat thing the other day after watching the old lady weight lifter at the local gym do it....

Start in a press-up position with wide legs, and each hand holding/resting on a dumbbell with the grips parallel to your body. Keeping the hips straight, alternate rows on each arm until it all becomes too much (or do 5 on one side 5 on the other, which is easier). Seems to be a good combo workout. I used light weights I'd use for warmup for doing normal dumbbell rows (24kg for me).

I wouldn't do overhead squats unless I were a dedicated Olympic lifter. There are so many issues, in terms of hips and ankles mobility, shoulders mobility, lower back and shins positioning, and proper technique.
The added benefits can be obtained by teaming front squats (which are very hard and technique dependant on their own) with overhead barbell walks.

Anyway I bought 2 new shiny kilos for my barbell, it's roughly a 6% increase so it should be fine. More to come.

Thanks guys. Parking the oh squat idea.

I like those plank rows as a core workout Fiend. Bit lighter weights than you, so far ...

I also go really light from a similar start and do a pressup then open out one arm in a reverse fly until the shoulders and both straight arms are stacked in a vertical line. Back to pressup position and repeat on other side.

It's 35 kilos so 77 pounds more or less. It's good for basically everything.

I stand corrected: 33 kg. The bar is lighter than I remembered. I asked for those same bar and weights as my 14th birthday present. Who would have though that 30 years later...

There you go. Slightly NSFW maybe?
