    lol.

    normal divebombers are pretty tough. one handed hindus seem pretty hard, in terms of the motion. I think you got them all though. for some, pull ups and dips may work this attribute. one arm pull ups are so hard. if you can't do them, hold onto your forearm with your other hand and you will be able to (underhanded). that's a good way to start. I guess one handed hand stand push ups would be the hardest.

    i include normal divebombers in my conditioning, i can pull off about 50 or 60 of them.

    the reason i ask for bodyweight strength training movements is because i wont have access to a gym soon, and at home my weights are outside and its too cold.

    well, that's pretty impressive. you won't have access to a gym, as in a boxing gym or weightroom? it won't matter if you don't lift for a few months....just get creative with bodyweight ****.

    i never got too fancy, but here are some of the ones I have done off the top of my head: elevated pushups, knuckle pushups, standard pushups, diamond pushups, wide pushups, hindu pushups, hindu squats, lunges, calf raises, stepups, burpees, standard situps, crunches, bicycle crunches, pullups - palms facing away, chinups - palms facing towards you, and mixups - one hand away, one hand facing, pull with the hand facing.

    I've tried one-armed pushups and one-legged squats, I can't do either.

    Dips - you can do them on the corner of a kitchen counter or between the backs of two chairs
