Turkish Get Ups, yes I've done these before. But with a barbell? NO.
After progressively warming up with Kettlebell Turkish Get Ups and focussing very much on good form - we advanced onto Barbells. My efforts below are not a pretty sight - but I managed to get the job done. JUST!
In future practice sessions I will slow things down, and move from point of stability to point of stability under control. This is not a move I should be rushing. A few simple but excellent teaching points from Rob and Mark will help refine my technique and to ensure a solid base of support throughout - especially during heavier lifts.
In the video you will see my response time and reaction skills are tested rather nicely too. You can't negotiate with the bar.
