Was watching your video from ANW2 just today.  You were flying!

These exercises may give you the strength required but if you are not comfortable using that strength (neurologically trained) then it will do no good. I completely approve of the nice light it sheds on ANW though! They are good from a grass roots standpoint but nothing will ever substitute like training on the actual obstacles.
