- Turkish Get-Ups
Men's Health Post
Kettlebell Community Response *see comment section*
What do we think of TGUs - Pros, Cons, Application w/ different populations ( Gen Pop, Athletes, Groups, 1 vs 1)
TGUs - Develop a lot of general qualities to a low/medium degree but none to a high degree. This makes it a great warm up drill.
The Sit-Rise test
Dan John: Get up and down circuits
Break down the get up into its smallest parts and train it that way
Why are we so emotionally attached to exercises? (KB people)
Also, why do we need to make clickbait posts (Men’s health)
- “Do you do warm-up sets and if so how do you program?”
- Yes, but not a ton, because we warm up 20-25 minutes before we step foot in the weight room
- We only really do 1-2 work sets “money” or “growth” sets
- Picking Set 3 - Use the second to last set to decide what the final set should be
- Bill Starr 5x5
- Create a relationship and ask for an RPE for their heavier sets
Book Club recommendation:
Kevin: Kinesiology of the Musculoskeletal System: Foundations for Rehabilitation by Donald Newman
Brendon: Never Lose a Customer Again: Turn Any Sale into Lifelong Loyalty in 100 Days by Joey Coleman
