Another new movement
Slow and controlled is the name of the game. Do your best to keep a good frame of reference to where your body is, in relation to the ground and to the weight held above you. Take a look at the progressions in the picture I’ve provided.
Strength: Turkish Get-ups
WOD:
3 Rounds
10 Dumbbell Push Press (35#/25#)
20 Overhead Walking Lunge Steps with dumbbell
30 Later jumps over dumbbell
Take a look here at Chris Spealler performing a Turkish Get-Up with a slightly different object.
i did my turkish get-ups with 15# dumbbell. this one is like a strange dance that i don’t know all the moves to…
wod: 6:41 with 20# DB. i wasn’t anticipating the transition from lunges to lat jumps to be as difficult as it was!
7:41 Rx+ (40# for lack of 2 sets of 35# DBs). In retrospect should have scaled down to 30# or taken two of the 1pd kettlebells. Push Presses got a little sloppy and broken up on the third round.
My neck was bothering me all day, so I thought this was going to suck. It actually made my neck feel much better. Wrote the wrong weight on the board. Did 50# turkish getup with my right side. Failed with left, but did 35# on that side. Wish there was something inbetween.
WOD: 7:17 w/ 25#. Gotta remember not to pause between lunges. It goes much easier if I just keep moving.
1.5 pood each side for the get-ups, but my left side was clearly weaker.
6:37 on the WOD w/ 40# DBs. Marcos smoked my ass. Such a beast. Was definitely surprised at how much harder push presses feel when not done with a barbell.
…and props to other nick for surviving his first crossfit experience!
