Old School is the only school

Jump to Comments

Let’s go weird. 

First, a pull up challenge:

Time yourself for reps.  25? 50? 100?

How long does it take?

Two-hands anyhow max.  Old school.  Although very few people know how to do this lift (which involves the strange, exotic Bent Press), it’s a good time to learn.  Video here (with two kettlebells, a 100 pound homemade job, and a 70 pounder):

Turkish Get Up Variation.  If you love turkish get ups (and I know you do), then add a windmill and a 2-handed snatch to the mix.

See the whole workout here, which also includes a finisher with some hang cleans.:

  • This is really dumb but I have been making the two hands anyhow way too hard. I always forced myself to curl the second weight from the bent position. It’s called 2 hands anyhow for a reason.
    So can we get extra credit for using a barbell in place of at least on kettlebell? :-)

  • Curling has always been one of the chosen methods, but I’ve always prefered cleaning the weight, being a sub-par curler and all.

  • Oh, and I actually prefer a barbell for the bent press portion. It just looks cooler.

  • love your gym
