....don't know if you'll get the second one though. I can link it on the 'net but when I button it from this site, it says the page has expired..

My trainer Andre has done the lunge walking on treadmill. I haven't exactly done it, but stuff like it (fencing footwork drills on treadmill with dumbells, etc.)

I've done the squat to upright row, but with plates and barbells so the hand position is not the same as their dumbell version.

I've done the lat-pulldown glute ham raises. We call them Krispy Kremes. Here is my trainer Andre doing them with a quarter plate:

The "suspended pull ups" seem to be essentially the same as inverted rows, so I've done those too.

i'm doign these things with the rings now where i go to go into a skin the cat, but i stop where i'm vertical.. .so i'm hanging upside down, keeping my body straight as an arrow vertically.

then i do rows. pulling the rings with my arms up to my maximum range of motion, while keeping my body totally vertical and straight.

h-o-l-y-c-r-a-p bodyweight has never been so intense in my life

Inverted hang.

Inverted pull-up.

Try repping inverted hangs to pikes. Start in an inverted hang and then, keeping your legs straight, lower them so that your body ends up in an inverted pike position. Then raise back to vertical.

An inverted pike looks basically like this:

OH ok, i do those!!! what i try to do is do the inverted hang to the inverted pike, stop there for a few seconds, then continue until i'm completley unloaded with my feet almost down again, then i pull back out of that into the inverted hang, then i slowly rotate back to an L-position, and then repeat back into the inverted hang.

but yes, they are brutal. i pretty much love the rings now.
