Amazing how you guys highlight the details of just getting the hand set, it changes the whole dynamic of the move and sets people up for the proper mechanics that a lot of people don't focus on in their instructionals! Kick ass job
Outstanding, step-by-step instructional video of one of the most difficult kettlebell movements to master. It identifies common TGU mistakes and how to rectify them, emphasizes correct form and alignment, and prioritizes safety. If you're learning TGU anew, or seeking to sharpen your technique, I'd begin and end your instruction with this video. It is superb.
Great explanation, thank you! I'm doing reverse Turkish get ups with a clean and press transition in the middle to get more time under tension. It's awesome to put this exercise once or twice per week in a program.
I only have space for 1 kettlebell. My only weighted exercise is Turkish Get Ups then a little bit of Russian swings + Myo sets on sumo goblet squats - then I am rounding out with stuff like one arm press ups, one arm chinups, front lever, planch etc. It has only been one month so far but a lot of progress can be seen from my progress pics
I love the moment when Mike sais 'Exactly' at 3:00. He sounds pretty annoyed. Very nice video btw. I've watched it several times now before I practice getups.
MIssed a few terms, position and alignment cues but I'll still give it a 9/10 for how well you move through the move (proof you were once coached and have done it 100's of times). Breath of RUclips fresh air. That guy in blue shirt BUTCHERED the TGU on the mind pump TV channel. Sadly the untrained eye will never see the differences. I'd never suggest to self-learn this move without a pro hovering right over you, too much to miss.
It's interesting no one talks about how to breathe. When discussing optimal tension, how your body moves when you inhale and exhale under load is primary. How to protect your spine and for that matter your shoulder. Everyone talks about how complex this movement can be. That's not just because of the body positioning, but being able to create and maintain core stability throughout. Packing the shoulder of the arm under load was never discussed but should be another basic component. I love that you are making videos trying to help people, but as someone who has suffered debilitating back injury due to incomplete advice, I would advise people to supplement this video with a more complete instruction. Kettlebells can be your best friend or worst enemy. Make sure you have the best experience possible!
Great video and explanation. Thank you. I've got three of your KBs heading towards my porch as I type this. I've got a blown shoulder facing surgery, but I'm diving into the KB world after the shoulder rehab is done. In the meantime I'm learning the exercises, and the TGU is one I plan to use a lot.
I have a substantial left shoulder injury, so my left side is a lot weaker. I had surgery to correct it with minimal results. I can comfortably do 16KG on my Right, but with my left, I struggle (I can do, but the shoulder is in a lot of pain and gets close to dislocating.) with 10KG, should I use the same lighter kettlebell for both arms. Or use the heavier one on my stronger side? One of my main goals is to improve shoulder stability.
The purpose of the movement isn’t to “target” a muscle group. It builds stability, strength, and whole body coordination. If you want shoulder, hip, and core stability so that you dont lose basic mobility throughout your life, this movement is for you.
Yes necessary. One of the Turkish get up purpose is to makes you recover back to your position faster after falling. Is like a sport stimulation, like MMA, boxer getting up after falling. Or sports like badminton, basketball etc after falling. Or even helps in getting up bed faster in the morning 🤷
Skott Hall practice the get up w a sneaker balanced on your fist instead of using a kettlebell. This way you’ll become really fluent w the movement before using the kettlebell. I’ve been doing get ups for a while now, but I always do a sneaker warm up first.
Over use of details actually takes away from exercise fundamentals your core and stability should be made work in positions ..might as well be on a machine lol..too much of people looking too better their version of something that needs to be kept simple and ok be safe
Beginning of quarantine I couldn’t even budge a Turkish get up now I’m getting my 70lb kb up there and I revisit this video series often
I’m going on to play this over and over so I hear it in my head while doing this. Excellent teacher.
one the best tgu breakdowns i've seen. send it to all who want to learn and study this most complex and rewarding exercise.

Glad to hear you like it, thanks! We have more videos on our channel: ruclips.net/channel/UCYUSG_wrOEgus5op7ESXEkQ
The best TGU video so far... with so many datailed explanations! Thank you so much!
Greetings from Rio de Janeiro - Brazil!
Yes, I agree. I think this is the single best tgu video.
Absolutely the best description of the Turkish get-up I've seen online! Thank you!
Awesome awesome. Thx Mike and Justin.
That was well demonstrated. Good job gentlemen.

Love to hear it!! Great work.
Great tutorial. And excellent camera work too!
Thank you! This is the best tutorial I’ve seen.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart 🙏🏼
Great demo, very well broken down and explained. I've been muddling my way through position 3 so this has really helped me! Thanks
Excellent explanation, perfect execution. Great video!
Such an underrated movement!

This is an excellent breakdown. Well done, and I subbed.

I think he addresses this when he says “vertically”, but the more common term, yes, is packing.
Great video
Mike is the man!!

Excellent TGU tutorial!

Masterful!
Awesome explanation, thank you!
Thanks for the detail👍
Good job
How do you go from step 1 (supine) to torso off the floor (step 2) - SLOWLY?
I have a substantial left shoulder injury, so my left side is a lot weaker. I had surgery to correct it with minimal results. I can comfortably do 16KG on my Right, but with my left, I struggle (I can do, but the shoulder is in a lot of pain and gets close to dislocating.) with 10KG, should I use the same lighter kettlebell for both arms. Or use the heavier one on my stronger side? One of my main goals is to improve shoulder stability.
I would love to do TGU but I have had a knee replacement. Is there a modified version that you can suggest?
Omit the lunge
Barbell back squats, deadlift all you need, oh and the press
does this works the and as well? It looks a lot on the core strength also?
how many times each side? how do you choose optimal weight?
What does this movement target? I'm new to using a kettlebell.
This movement really involves ALL muscle groups. It is a fully body workout
The purpose of the movement isn’t to “target” a muscle group.
It builds stability, strength, and whole body coordination.
If you want shoulder, hip, and core stability so that you dont lose basic mobility throughout your life, this movement is for you.
TGU??? That’s HYD “Hold Your Drink” when you fall at a dance club #imjussayn
Is standing up at the end really necessary? Honest question, can't seem to find a concrete answer.
Yes necessary. One of the Turkish get up purpose is to makes you recover back to your position faster after falling.
Is like a sport stimulation, like MMA, boxer getting up after falling. Or sports like badminton, basketball etc after falling.
Or even helps in getting up bed faster in the morning 🤷
Fun fact every morning millions of Turkish people naturally preform the Turkish get up out of bed 🛏️🛏️
I want to do these so bad but I know I’ll forget the steps

Does one do both sides? (Alternate KB to left hand)
both!
Thanks for not snapping your fingers or Taw. King. And. Moo. Ving. Your. Arms. With. Each. Syl. La. Bull.
Certainly not glamorous. #rogangotmehere
Thanks for your comment! Did you have any questions? How did you find our page?
@@KettlebellKingsAustin from searching Turkish get ups after watching a joe rogan video mentioning them
Maintain verticality of the arm. hahahah. AKA Keep your arm vertical.
why this is exercise? can enyone justify
This is a fantastic muscle building workout for the entire body. Throughout the movement it engages almost every muscle in your body.
Over use of details actually takes away from exercise fundamentals your core and stability should be made work in positions ..might as well be on a machine lol..too much of people looking too better their version of something that needs to be kept simple and ok be safe
Kettlebells are a useless fitness fad. Barbells are the way
Weak.
Great movement, form and breakdown of exercise
