It's good to see how you are progressing with your training Arlen.
Another exercise that's good for upper body strength is the handstand pushup. Not only do you build upper body strength, but you will also develop increased balance and coordination. If you have not performed a handstand pushup before, you can work into it in three stages. Start by using a chair. This is done without shoes. With your hands on the floor, put your feet on the chair with your toenails resting on the seat. Then bring your upper body as close to the chair as you can. This should have your body folded at the hips. Start with ten eight second pushups (four seconds up then four seconds back to the starting position.) When you can do ten pushups comfortably, you switch to using a wall to help keep your balance. In this exercise you will do a handstand next to a wall, allowing your feet to rest against the wall. Now do the same as with the chair, ten eight second pushups. When you can do this comfortably, switch to a free standing handstand position. Work your way up to twenty-five eight second pushups. After you have mastered doing the handstand pushup on the floor. Move to doing the pushup between two chairs. Once you can do the exercise between two chairs you are ready for the pub (you should be able to make a tidy some betting the other patrons you can do it.)
