The Kettlebell Awaits Book 👉www.amazon.com/dp/B08SPJJ8HY -- Features 100+ pages with HD images breaking down swings, cleans, snatches, presses, squats, and get ups in full detail with a downloadable kettlebell workout program.
Awesome tutorial, validates SFG professionalism. Their videos have nurtured me through my 6 years of kettlebell training since discovering them at age 50. Strength is indeed a skillset, only coming to that Realization later in life. Now up to 24 Getups Nonstop (12 L + 12R) with 65 lbs, and Simple & Sinister with 75 lbs at age 56 (6'5")
Loved this video. This is the best breakdown I've seen of the TGU so far. Even though I've been doing them for over a year I still found things to correct because of the way you broke this down.
If you’re a beginner at this lift you should always have a spotter. Once you get the hang of it - you should use a kettlebell that is challenging, but maintainable. It’s as simple as pulling it back down in the rack position like a press. I personally lift 48kg KBs consistently alone and know when to draw back on days it’s too much for my body.
Your wrist needs to be neutral or even have a little flexion if needed (as if you were in a arm wrestle). Don’t let the wrist flex back and keep your knuckles up toward the ceiling during the get up. If you’re handle still feels to small....you likely need a better one.
There could be many reasons for that. It would be best if you found a StrongFirst Kettlebell Instructor near your area to access you to see what could help: www.strongfirst.com/instructors/search/
I would also highly recommend getting into Indian clubs as another option to help rehab the elbow/wrist pain. You find a pair easy on Amazon and I have a beginner tutorial video here: m.ruclips.net/video/w2c2KNs4npk/видео.html
I would have a StrongFirst SFG instructor access you in person to see what the problem is. The get up is technically a complex of 6 different movements; so you could be compensating in certain positions. If your feeling it in your shoulder too much that could mean your not retracting the shoulder blade down with the lats enough. I wrote a article on the Kettlebell Get Up if you need more tips as well: www.coachvaughn.net/blog/2018/2/19/vlz16whbrfx723p1konsuggcj76x5s

Thanks a lot Doug, very happy you loved it. Plan on putting out more videos like these with kettlebell cleans, presses and snatches in the future too
Very helpful video! Liked your idea of using the wall to calibrate where you need to be. Cool!
Thanks Dennis,
more to come in the future
Thank you for the wonderful video Coach.
Do you have and video out on the channel suggesting the breathing techniques along every step of the getup?
Excellent. I fixed several issues with my TGU thanks to your video.
Thanks, glad you liked the video - Posting more kettlebell content soon
Fantastic video...
Thanks Brad
Succinct and professional. Thanks for this.
Thanks, appreciate the feedback
what if you are training alone? How would you escape in case you loose it?

What do I do if the handle on my kettlebell is too small. The mf thing is damn near horizonal in rack position and it smashes my wrist

Im keeping my wrist straight but its killing my wrist and elbows. I boxed for yeas so idk if that has something to do with it.
