Video exercise demonstrations
It looks like we're going to get a chance to shoot digital video of some of the exercises in NROL for Women. We had hoped to do this months ago, but the general numbness of my skull prevented it.
Assuming I can actually figure out how to shoot and post digital video, which exercises would you like to see demonstrated?

Can I be the model!
I'm willing to travel to Allentown since it's been awhile since I've been there

I second that. We had quite a disscussion on the subject here

Lunges would be good because so many people do them wrong ... same with step ups.

Video demos would be awesome! The prone jackknife would be a top choice for me, too. I haven't felt so awkward since the last time I gave birth (and I frankly didn't care then!).
I think deadlifts would be a good choice, too, given the amount of discussion that goes on about them.

Deadlifts, step-ups, and prone jackknifes are my picks.

Yes. I think if the book came with a DVD (with ex. demos) attached it would be an even better ideal!

QFT. And if you decided to produce one before I get to stage 7  , I'd happily buy.

I think it would be useful to show how to set up the safety bars in the squat cage (actually on several models of squat rack, power cage, gun rack style) and then demonstrate how to dump the bar if you are in trouble (e.g. can't get out of the hole). Many women might not "just know" how to do this and it would be useful for them to see it is no big deal to just squat down and dump it. You might hesitate to show "failure" but really, I think it would build confidence to show what to do if you get in trouble.

this has been a sticky for a loooooooong time. So, where are the videos???? I am in stage 3 and would love to see the ytwl in action. In fact, I think it would be most beneficial to demonstrate all workouts. I am hearing about some injuries on other boards.

Jodi, I can't answer about this video project, but in the mean time you can see some good video of the YTWL's via the links in this thread: YTWL question
