The rest of the stuff looks tough, but fun. These squats, though-- gah, nightmare fuel for me!
I hated them the first time I tried - the bar was against my throat and my wrists hurt. I adjusted my form a little (worried less about elbows up since my weight wasn't super high) and ended up loving them!

And yeah, I did hit my chin once during warmup cuz I was rushing a bit - but I lived through it. Now I kinda like the darn things!
