If your looking at a bunch of overhead welding find some Ab exercises to do everyday the week before you start the project will help your body to get ready. Welding is mostly muscle memory.
Once your able to hold your body and tools in position AND be steady your welding will improve.

That reminds me of welding cert.
I wanted to certify for tight quarters ,confined space welding(one more notch in the gun).
A welder buddy said dont.
"Do you see that guy over there cussing and throwing stuff,getting cramps
and acting like a monkey in a small box?"
My buddy had his cert and kept it to himself.
