Default Barbell against the wall exercises
Came across this article on a blog I sometimes read. Thought it was pretty good, especially for those of us who might have some equipment at home and not have a cage etc.

Really cool link there, Og. Will have to try some of those out.

Nice change of pace, but I'd rather just move the full weight (no ratio guessing) and REALLY scare some people

Yeah, looks like he's having fun with those. I've done the One arm-press thingy in my programs before, however.

You're overthinking. You just lift the most you can at 6, 8, 10 reps.

Everything has a ratio. When you squat, what percentage of your bodyweight is lifted? 85%? When you DL, how much body weight do you figure you're lifting? 80%? With chinups, your hands to upper arms don't really figure into it. How much do they weigh?

However, if you're following one of Chad Waterbury's programs, where you have to increase weight by 2.5% per week, I'm right there with you!

There are some good ones in there. I put the lumberjack squat, the row, and the push press into some of my programs.

If you do the row one handed and use the end of the barbell, it really challenges your grip because it's so fat there.
