Max Effort Turkish Getups. Warm up into this one like any max effort lift, but today we’re going to go heavy with Turkish Getups. Any implement you care to use, but let me give a shout out for the god ol’ barbell.
Jerk Press. Low reps today. Go heavy. 5 sets of 3 reps.
Burpee-pullups. The jump from the burpee will lead you right into a pullup. See how long it takes to do 20. or 30.

Camilo and his TGU

Burpee-Pullup: a burpee into a pullup. Simple.

Chip, seriously…are we really expected to peek into the crevice between the ceiling tiles and back wall whilst standing on the back of our ethereal identical twin? We aren’t all Mystics, you know.

actually, it should be “twins.” You know, the whole subject-verb agreement thing they teach you in grade school? Nevermind…I’ll shut up and do my Turkish getups now.

Hey Chip,
Did a successful TGU last thursday with the 45lb bar. Woot! for me! Even my retarded left side.
Burpee pullups will be added to the arsenal. Good stuff!
