Matt Brouse Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 You got it in my book. It's called a Turkish Get-UP, you missed the Get Down part. My logic is flawless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wscorpion Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Are you supposed to follow a certain technique, or doesn't it matter how, as long as you stand up with the weight above your head and arm straight? I tried this as well with a DB (not the lying down part) of 32K after my rednail witness told me that it would be very difficult, and I felt it was easier then expected since I got the 40kg DB as well. Now that I see you playing with it, I'm starting to wonder if perhaps I used a different (illegal?) technique.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can do a normal Turkish get up with that kb no problem. If You get a chance sometime to try it with Kettlebells use a 16k to start and you will see the difference.

Ahh, I didnt see the video since youtube is blocked here. But that's definitely a difference, no doubt about it Then it's safe to say that my witness told me that a 12 year old girl did that with 32kg, that's why I wanted to try But holding it up is a whole different thing for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamTGlass Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Nick strongwork with the BUTGU. Most people have no idea how tough that is and how much total strength and coordination it requires. I will put up a video this month of a BUTGU with a 36kg (81lbs) If you get one, i know it will allow you break down the door with your BUP of the 40kg. Your so close to it bro, a little bit of practice after the comp and you will own that lift. -Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickr104 Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 Thanks guys! I would try my 40 k at some point But i know i wouldn't be close right now. I have Bottom up pressed that for a double on a good day right hand only. My left is still a little off on this lift. i was real happy to get where i got with it. I will work on it more latter.
