Rob I heard you on SHR talking about doing one arm chin-ups. Sounds like a great challenge I'd like to do. Any suggestions on excersises and training to do them?

Try Dragondoor.com or Amazon.com.

The 1 arm chins I had a brick wall on, step #7 I think it is = half one arm chins! I think it's my grip, so doing some hanging towel work right now. Everything else is progressing nicely, especially handstand pushups.

Man, you get some WEIRD looks doing those! :) They do build incredible shoulders though, and are TOUGH! Moreso than any method, you just need to keep plugging away on these CC workouts. My conditioning is one HELL of a lot better today because of it, as are my joints.

Well worth it!

I bought it off amazon, I've been reading it the last couple of days and can't wait to get started. I also bought Brooks Kubic's book Dinosaur Bodyweight training and it looks to be a great book too. I'll definitely be adding some of this stuff to my workouts.

Rob I watched a show about a UFC fighter and he was doing pullups with tennis balls in his hands to increase his grip strength. Have you ever tried that? I've been meaning to try it and see if it works.
