 Next question is from cool wolf lives. What are your views on the Turkish get-up? What is it useful for and in what situation would you program it? This is a great exercise that allows you to really see the the bias in People in the fitness space. Yeah, okay, cuz the Turkish get-up doesn't really fit in most people's programming Yeah, if you okay, so if you don't know what a Turkish get-up is you can go to mind pump TV And we have a couple videos on on the breakdown of it, but it's literally a full-body exercise You go from the floor to standing while supporting a dumbbell overhead So if you're a bodybuilder type and you write workouts based off of body parts Where the hell do I put a Turkish get-up your power lifter or where do you put that in? Yeah? It's not like a squad. It's not like a deadlift or a bench press like where would I put that if you're a Competitive athlete, maybe it'd be tough. Although I'll make the argument that a Turkish get-up is exceptionally good for for grapplers in particular But it's a full-body exercise and here's the value of full-body exercises The value is not in the I can get maximum muscle growth out of an individual body part The value is not in the I can lift tons of weight and get this huge overload The value is in getting the whole body to communicate well to with each other with itself Yeah, it's in getting all the body parts to work well together, which is extremely valuable It's actually more valuable than last two things I just said I don't even yeah I don't know if it's just because of my music kind of upbringing and background but I just think of of playing certain musical instruments all the time But I'm never like coordinating all that together And so if I'm thinking of like an orchestra or something where you're getting like a bigger volume of instruments involved But they have to sound good They all have to work good together for it to to be right and I look at this as more of a movement specific exercise where it's It's something that's gonna tell my body like how Effectively I can communicate and also like if I have true command over my body to to produce You know things desired outcomes that I want and so for me to then I use it a lot like mainly as an assessment or also as just like something I want to look at You know see where like the status of of my client or somebody that's you know an athlete of mine I used it a lot to kind of see how their body could organize in a certain fashion for me then to Take you know more complex movements And introduce them to those so we've obviously made the case of the value of the Turkish kid up But the part of this question too is like how would we program it? So I see three places and then I'll tell you how I use it most often and probably recommend it to clients To Sal's point earlier. Obviously if you're a very specific you have a very specific program You're a bodybuilder. You're a power lifter It not to say that it doesn't still have value for those programs. It absolutely does But it's it's less important on how I program that for someone who's a very very specific goal like that But everybody else right the rest of the world that just wants to be healthy fit more muscular Less body fat move. Well, this belongs in there And the three ways I'm using it either one to start a workout To how did the end of a workout or three all by itself some days? And this is how I use it most often so I Got to think that I'm not alone here Where there's just some days when you just you don't have it and you need to do your full routine of your workout Or maybe you've been hitting the gym really consistently and you want to go an extra day in the gym And so you're there, you know a fourth or a fifth day, which is an addition to your normal workout routine This is where I love to just do this movement by itself There's there's only a handful of exercises that I may come to the gym and only do that exercise for the entire workout This is one of them that I think is phenomenal for that I love to teach a client how to do a Turkish get up and then when they're traveling or they're doing something I don't need a lot of equipment. I'm like I just want you to practice your Turkish I'll give them like how many I want them to do I want you to do X amount for so many sets and you know Pause at this point. It's like broken down in eight movements, right? So it's like eight movements all in one And it's a great full-body workout and it's great for you just to practice and get good at it So sometimes I will come to the gym and that's all I will do is a Turkish get up And there's not a lot of exercises that I feel gives such a great bang for your buck that it makes sense Like you would never come to the gym You'd be wasting your time or I think it'd be silly to come to the gym and do bicep curls as your one workout or to do lateral raises There's a lot of or even rows and there's a lot of exercises that I think are yeah Those are great exercises, but by themselves just doing that in the gym Whatever but squat squatting deadlifting overhead pressing Turkish get up, you know That's in there and those exercises that I think have enough value to do by themselves And I would say if you are a power lifter or a bodybuilder This is a great exercise to do on your off days kind of like what Adam's saying when you have an off day first off Active recovery is better than just sitting around Practice some Turkish get-ups take your body through those movements. It works the whole body It's not as all areas covers all areas look think about it this way. I'm gonna do a sports analogy I know what I was just okay this but you know you think of a basketball team, right? Which team is gonna perform better the one where each individual player just Practices by themselves all the time you ever the point guard is doing his thing all by himself all the time Everybody else is doing things all by themselves all the time and they're really good on their own They're doing the drills. They're shooting the ball. They're dribbling They're going through their mind all the different plays or what about another team where the team plays together They always play together your body is like a it's it's very similar to that team You do have individual players your biceps your triceps your shoulders your your chest your lats your quads your hamstrings You've got all these muscles that on their own Do something but really they don't work on their own almost never they always work in concert with the other muscles And so these full-body exercises Enforce and create better communication through the whole body. Tell me one instance where that's not valuable It's valuable for everybody even for bodybuilders that develop individual body parts I think it's still important to do this because if all you ever do is focus on individual body parts You actually start to you you may create dysfunction You may you may have overly developed strong muscles that don't work well together And I understand why it's hard for people to see value in it that are just muscle focused and less movement focused like And it's hard for me because I always the struggle with that because I was so Athletically minded with like the outcomes of like how I'm building somebody up and I'm seeing their performance increase in their lifts and their strength But you know because I used to use this a lot as a way to start Being able to coach somebody and really get them to understand their body better So they have to be able to keep control of their hips and while they're rotating and you know Do all these little nuance things that then I have to be able to teach when they're throwing a baseball You know like if I'm a coach and this is something that I could they could start to understand that like oh well If I hold you know my body in this position and you know I don't elevate my shoulder while I'm now getting more torque out of my torso And I could actually like throw the ball faster and harder and more leg drive all these like little things that you can Kind of point out like you need that you need that kind of assessment every now and then and it's very valuable to start that I actually think it's the most underrated exercise. I don't think that I think of all the You how often do you guys walk in a gym and see someone doing it never never? I mean It's like one out of every like hundred visits I come to the gym I catch somebody actually doing that you'll see you'll see it maybe in an MMA gym or yeah, right? Yeah, if you worked in it like a UFC gym, maybe like are you work somewhere where there's that's common You might see it more often, but in a traditional gym, which by the way I think that's who it traditional people your average person just body fat muscle move better These people need to be doing this movement more often it can go at the beginning it goes in it could stand alone by itself It belongs for in everybody or most everybody's programming
