State Of Yo

Time to revisit the Turkish Get Up! The TGUP is a highly functional movement that requires all the muscles of the body working together in order to accomplish the task. Kettlebell Turkish Get-ups emphasize load balance, shoulder mobility, and functional strength. When doing them today, remember to keep the wrist supporting kettlebell straight upwards at all times and keep your arm close to your head. The full movement is demonstrated here. When resting return the KB to the floor with both hands to protect the loaded joints.

Stop This Train

Still having trouble with tears on big pull-up days? Have you tried gripping the bar on the base of the fingers rather than on the top of the palm? Still not doing it for ya? Maybe gymnastic grips or gloves might be an answer. Another answer could be taping your hands. Here is how to do it the right way.

Remember!… All new 12 noon class starting next week on Tuesdays and Thursdays!
