Often imitated, rarely duplicated, the Turkish Get Up is a beast of an exercise!  Imagine, you’re lying on the floor with a 70# kettlebell, and you need to figure out a way to get that bad mambo overhead, all the way to a standing position, without tearing your shoulder apart and dropping it on your dome.

It used to be that the Turkish Get Up involved getting up there any ol’ way one could, but with awesome groups like Strong First and the RKC, there’s been some big technique developments that will help you to make the task easier, safer, and repeatable.

A 10 Mile View of the Turkish Get Up

… Now

We don’t just throw the whole Turkish Get Up at you on day one, it’s much too complex.  There’s a few things we need to do first:

1. Screen you to make sure you’re ready for varying positions that the movement demands
2. Introduce it in bite size chunks
3. Start with no weight (“naked” get ups)
4. Progress to the full Turkish Get Up, over the course of a few weeks…

To see how we go about these progressions, head over to Lori’s post and get your learn on…
