The Load, at the time was a Max load, My Form did fault a little bit. The Great thing about this is, it's called a Turkish Get UP! not down. Most people Don't understand that the movement is a lift, not a negative. If I wanted to do a negative I would have down.
Please don't be on your high horse about form and technique with me, I am extremly technical and clean in my movements. This video was many years ago when I just started doing turkish get-ups.
ok some constructive criticism, your form is pretty awful
and you did only half of the exercise, is that supposed to be impressive?
this would be a MUCH better video if you showed doing the complete turkish getup (and down) with a weight that you could perform the exercise properly and full range of motion
fyi i am no pro, and i only use 20-30 lbs right now in my tk getups, but i focus on keeping proper form at all times, as i get better ill use more, but not sacrifice my form to do so
All the power to you...i cannot do a Turkish get up with this kind of weight, but the above statements are true.....it is not as easy with a kettle bell...with a dumbbell the weight is bearing downwards through an aligned wrist/forearm. With the KB, the weight is off center (ie to the back of the forearm) thereby requiring the forearm flexors to hold the wrist straight. IF you have not tried it with both a kettlebell and a dumbbell then you truly cannot understand the mechanics involved.
they do make 80kg and 85 kg kettlebells from LKB, and I'm sorry but IT IS harder to do a turkish getup with a kettlebell as opposed to a dumbbell, quite simply because the kettlebell is resting on your wrist/forearm which cause a lot of additional stress that you don't incur with a dumbbell.
@evanescence2 You are incorrect, a Kettle Bell rests on the wrist and forearm, it's equal resistance as a dumbbell is. it doesn't cause stress unless you are holding the kettle bell incorrectly. If you are holding that KB with a bent wrist, it will be applying pressure. You need to hold a Kettle Bell with a straight Wrist. and it will properly be braced against the forearm
I also do this lift at 175lbs (79.5kgs) on a Barbell which is a lot harder to balance because it is 6 feet in length.
its simply amazing that some people think that a kettlebell rep would be harder than a dumbell rep.
it is so obvious that a kb would be much easier , its more balanced and its weight is backwards so it pulls your arm backwards as its supposed to be .
yes its half a rep. but its about 64 kg , with a dambbell , which is harder .
Impressive but do it with ever increasing kettlebells. When the weight is ditributed like a dumbbell it is totaly different to a kettlebell. Awesome strength shown but there is a reason we use kettlebells. Can you do it with a 60kg kettlebell????? If so amazing, if not stick to the bells.
@sammygmartin The kettle bell is an equal weight right down the arm, which is nearly the same as a dumbbell. I usually do my turkish lift a barbell, which is twice as hard as a Kettle bell. I haven't seen a kettle bell large enough for the weight I need. I'm using a 175Lbs Barbell at the moment for my turkish lift. The video is on my channel.
Not Hating or anything thats amazing but just so you know its easier with a dumbbell because kettlebell are used because of the design and how they constantly pull because where the weight sits
@abeldaddy From my experience, kettlebells are easiert because a properly designed kettlebell sits nicely on your arm. A dumbbell is more unstable than the kettlebell since weight is distributed to TWO sides compared to the round distribution of the kettlebell. The king variations is the barbell since the long leverage arm leads to incredible stabilization needs.
@Shaolos you actually contradict yourself. the dumbbell is way more stable BECAUSE ITS WEIGHT IS DISTRIBUTED TO TWO SIDES. think of a barbell with weight only to one side. try bench pressing that and then tell me which one is more unstable. the kettlebell is just like that. weight to one side only= more unstable. it's easy to understand really
If the kettlebell is positioned in the wring place, you have this lean. If you position a kettlebell in a correct grip position, it feels as if it is part of your arm.
The dumbbell in contrast has two sides with the same weight. Of course if there would be only one loaded side, it would have a different lever arm.
But we are not comparing a one sided lever, we are comparing a double load versus a ball resting on your forearm.
@Shaolos yeah but the kettlebell is similar to the one sided lever because it has not got a counter weight to balance it, thus making it more difficult to control
I have no idea how you hold a kettlebell, but for me, the kettlebell is in a stable position lying with its center of mass on the forearm of the trainee. It does not move at all. It is therefore not similar at all.
Have you ever used both toolsfor the TGU? I do it quite frequently and the results for me and all clients have been the same. It isnt only logic (Big chunk with one center off mass vs stick with 2 mass centers balancing) but experience too :D
@Shaolos yeah that's how i hold it too, but what i say is that the dumbbell is perfectly aligned with your arm and balanced and the kettlebell is on your forearm(so a little behind your palm) so the weight somewhat pulls your arm back. think of this: imagine yourself lying down in the [position of the TGU with your arm extended but holding no weight. if i were to push your palm DIRECTLY down (like when you push something) you wouldn't have any trouble because the bone alignment of your aarm
@Shaolos [continuing] could easily support the weight. but if i were to push your arm at a slight angle, like the kettlebell does, it would be a lot more difficult to resist the force.
If the weight pulls your arm back, your hand position is wrong. The position should be diagonal among the "hip of the grip" only pressing down on the wrist, not move the hand or arm at all.
While I understand your point, it indicates faulty technique in positioning the kettlebell perfectly.
There are actually two faulty ideas about the turkish getup. The first one would be positioning, the second the aligning of my hand with my body.
@psolarhidi [TBC] Consider the bottom position of the TGU. Think about as if you were standing and punching. You would most likely have a wrist position parallel to the ground. This is NOT the position you have it in a TGU or press. It is twisted towrads 45° degrees outward. Therefore the problem you describe never happens in the TGU :D
@Shaolos you know from what you say, it seems that you did not get what i said but i'm really tired right now to write another long comment. i haven't tried the TGU with dumbbells because i train at home and i haven't got heavy enough ones. but maybe you are right maybe not, i don't know. i only speak what i think is true according to my understanding of mechanics. that's all
You are supposed to use the opposite arm, this is a core and shoulder exercise, not using you second arm is not proper form. Just using one arm is redundant.
