1) Broom handle is good.
2) Yes, blocks or those Olympic plates.

have you seen those plywood cutouts in the shape of 45# plates that help teach proper technique? they are pretty sweet for beginners and/or women and children.
brag (but not a very good one)

The myth of my dominance is crumbling before my eyes. You are now one behind my present best and while I don't think I can get much better I'm afraid the heat of competition might spur you to an extra round or two. Oh well. I still have Fran (for now, anyway).
Btw, let me give my Ode to the Overhead Squat. I introduced it and worked as part of my warm-up throughout September and October-- working up to doing a couple of 15x95. At the end of October I did a max rep set and got 30-- I might have gotten more, but I didn't want to have to dump. Haven't done any since, and it doesn't look like I'll get back to it until January.
That is all just background noise. I have this to say: this lift has changed my life. I feel that my posture has improved due to a mere two months with this exercise. I have a kind of rigidity in my upper back which makes me feel as if I'm standing taller and straighter. A lesser point: I think my squat is better. I miss it, and I'm looking forward to getting back to it. I'm mulling over different options/goals for including it in my workouts.
