My coach recommended overhead squats as a good way to do it. How often do you intend on doing it. I did a mon-wed-fri total body workout. My workouts were about 20 minutes, but I actually got stronger from the 3 weeks of low volume. -------------- Your two most important minerals: Iron and Chalk. If you smoke or don’t wear your seatbelt, please don’t tell me the deadlift is dangerous.
