The Hardest Part Of The Turkish Get Up And How To Master It

The hardest part of the Kettlebell Turkish Get-Up that a lot of times people miss or misunderstand is the first and last part of the movement, coming onto the elbow and coming down from the elbow. This can be due to many reasons, but mostly due to not engaging with the required muscles for long periods of time. Sitting in front of the computer 9 to 5 for five days a week doesn’t help. Simply not using them in day-to-day life doesn’t help. Another reason is that the muscles used for the initial movement are generally weak in many people, again, due to non-use.  Hence, once you overcome these common issues, your posture and back strength will improve. I will explain some movements/actions that are involved in the first and last part of the TGU to help you understand what needs to happen. Then I will explain how those actions come into play step-by-step, and finally, I will explain the process in a different way (easily unlocked) so that everyone can understand it.
