Osu! I'd like to get better with the jumprope. Singles are no problem and sprints aren't too bad, but double unders and crisscrossing aren't happening with much grace. I was so jealous of-I forget the actresses name- in
Million Dollar Baby skipping rope like a champ. In comparison, I skip rope like a chump.

Osu! Dent, DB squats are a handful. The weight is way forward. It puts a huge strain on the lower back. As soon as I noticed the beginnings of debilitating soreness in the back, I broke-out the foam roll and massaged the knots away. It worked like a charm. Everybody should have a foam roll.
Despite the lower back strain, I like the using the db's for squats. Well, besides having no alternative, it gives my grip and shoulders an isometric workout. One day, I'll have a rack and Olympic weight set. One day. . .
