Just some TGU's in the middle of the night. My heaviest successful lift was 160 lbs, on the left arm. I haven't been doing TGU's with anything heavier than a 53 lb kettlebell lately, but it's a good movement for me. I've trained the movement almost exclusively with lighter weights, but because I concentrate on maintaining a good connection to the ground in all stages and have good general strength/flexibility, I'm able to get a good conversion to heavier weights.

BW was 166 when I weighed-in earlier in the evening. Normally, I walk around at 168-170 nowadays, so this is a bit on the lighter side for me.

  • @shoeshinemorad I'm a nobody; never particularly successful in any sport, no big athletic accomplishments. Just a guy who likes to train and has done so diligently and ambitiously for going on 12 years. I subscribe to the Dan Gable "outwork them all" philosophy...

  • well done, my goal is body weight TGU, I'm the same size and as you, so far i'm up to 95lb dumbell, I like the idea of straps to stay within the kettlebell realm of off set center of gravity.

    Get after it!!!! I think your next video should include a human kettlebell.

  • Good job brother. That looks like its easy for you. Makes me want to improve.

  • insperational stuff bro!
