Turkish Get-Up (55/36)
Post total weight (load x reps) to comments.
Coach's Notes.
Don't get overzealous on the AMRAP aspect. Focus on consistent pacing of controlled, quality reps.
Use KB or dumbbell, alternate sides as required (i.e., every other, sets of x, until fatigued) and scale appropriately. Start light and make sure you get the form down before going on the clock. Remember, in an encounter between you and the kettlebell, the kettlebell always wins...
"The Turkish get-up (TGU) is an outstanding exercise that develops strength, flexibility, and stability throughout the entire body. It has especially proven itself as an excellent prehabilitation and rehabilitation exercise for the shoulders. In addition, a mastered TGU will make all overhead exercises safer and easier." - Jeff Martone
