Thanks for the encouragement Sona.. but really, NROL scares me!
It's not only the balancing stuff that scare me, like
- overhead Bulgarians? Cripes!
- push press? Cripes!

But also anything that involves heavy shoulder work, because of the RSI that comes back rapidly as soon as I don't respect the limitations I have here.

One of the exercises that seem intimidating as well is something like
- snatch-grip DL! Cripes!

Let's not forget the wrists either... that was why I gave up on the front bb squat. Frankly I'm probably cheating with the goblet squat by not heaving the db up to my chest but let my arm dangle down so that the db touches the floor in the lowest position.

But anyways.. I guess that if I don't hurry myself and do those intimidating balancing exercises one by one, I might even get to do the 'real thing' viz. an actual NROL routine after a couple of months. Promised!
