Thanks for the info guys! Some other questions:

What's the best way to work on my lats? I've been overweight for most of my life but am losing weight/getting in shape in order to join the Army. I've never been able to do pull-ups as far as I remember due to my size and am trying to correct that. Any suggestions on how I can build up to being able to do pull-ups?

Also, would doing squats, etc. conflict with running? According to a SF preparation book written by the guy who supposedly put together the Special Operations Preparation Course (SOPC), doing squats, etc. negatively effected his running/marching performance. He felt that cardio exercises sufficiently took care of the legs.
