My goals are to increase my strength.

My workouts are taking for ever at the moment, because i take a video then analyse my form then do the exercise again. Its not very efficient at all.

The exercises im doing are
inverted rows
because ive realised im too week at the moment to do sternum pullups.

Scapular pushups
because I get a pain in my right shoulder some times

Single leg romanian deadlifts
ive just started trying these and I find it realy hard to feel my glutes working

Single leg squats were the oposite knee touches the ground

thanks for the replies on my pistols in the other thread fromm the sounds of things my form is fine, but i get a pain on the inside of my right leg.

For my warmup I do some overhead shurgs, and stand on one leg and swing the other from side to side trying to keep my body straight and tall.

Then after that I do the exercises in a circuit trying to do each one for 3 sets for as many reps as i can do before I feel my forms bad.

I do that 3 times a week then i have kung fu on a saturday.

Would it be better for me to do one or two exercises a day but more often eg

inverted row and single leg knee squat
twice a week

and

single leg romanian deadlift and scapular pushup
twice a week

If you want to increase strenght do Compound excercises mostly. Do conventional Deadlift...Squat..Power Clean Push press...Bench..and Barbell rows..

On a monday i do Squat..Push press and Bench along with a weighted ab workout. So you can aim for 3 Compounds on a single day. Depends on your body.

Do each excercise explosively to. I would not do a deadlift twice a week once is enoughif done rite.some people only dead lift every 2-3 weeks.

Also if you want to develop grabbling strenght and muscle endurance do the Randy Couture Workout.

i agree with seviko, but do you want strength or power specific? both are linked, but training like an american powerlifter will get you far stronger, and power training, mainly done weeks before a competition will give more explosive power.

when i lift for strength i always try to lift as much weight as i can depending on what percent of my max i do, but have so much weight that trying to lift fast ends up being slow.
