shouldnt be too hard to make a 'landmine' or similar...I used to do them just wedging the bar against the wall, but it wasnt stable enough, although I probably did too much movement and didnt keep the core stable enough either.

I rest end of bar on olympic plate with towel inside. Tears the towel up everytime though. This is what you need to weld up!<br />

Someone on here ( davidav maybe, where is he ? ) swore by bodyweight type stuff rather than years of weights. I'm starting to agree with him as it seems you are too RB. Do you reckon too many heavy weights make ya a bit stiffer and less flexible ? ( not that' I was ever quite in your league but still ! ) I'm really improving my push ups and "proper" pull ups ( in the past I may not have extended the arms fully enough ) like no ones business.......<br />
<br />
as an aside a mate told me today that Lisa Carrington who is a) tiny and <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='B)' /> ahem, a chick can bench 90-95kg. Farkin hell ! amazing effort..... -
