How were the Turkish Get-Ups. I'm intrigued by them.

How were the Turkish Get-Ups. I'm intrigued by them.

I love them, i've found they're actually better if you do them for time than reps. Alternate 1 rep per arm continuously for the set time. I've also tried them for sets/reps and i stalled pretty quickly that way. They work the shoulders, forearms, and obliques a lot.

Hey thanks for checking out my log and dropping some advice. Your suggesting of trying 5x3, then 3x5, then increasing the weight sounds like it would work. Just a quick question tho, for example, at my 120lbs, I know for fact that I can get the 5x3, but what happens if I then miss the weight at the 3x5? Do I continue to repeat the same weight at 3x5 for three tries and if I hit the weight then go back down to 5x3 then back up, and so on...?

I bet the KB is a blast. When I was more into martial arts those things would whip my ass! I wish more gyms would start carrying them. Keep up the good work and enjoy your week off from the bar.

This was a pretty long workout, but i had time to kill waiting on my girlfriends brother. He's on some kind of a bodybuilding style split. Plus, i had the feeling this would be the only time i'd get to workout with a barbell so i'd go nuts.
