Show Notes
Today’s Discussion Points:
1. Turkish Get-Ups
- Men’s Health Post
- Kettlebell Community Response *see comment section*
- What do we think of TGUs – Pros, Cons, Application w/ different populations ( Gen Pop, Athletes, Groups, 1 vs 1)
- TGUs – Develop a lot of general qualities to a low/medium degree but none to a high degree. This makes it a great warm up drill.
- The Sit-Rise test
- Dan John: Get up and down circuits
- Break down the get up into its smallest parts and train it that way
- Why are we so emotionally attached to exercises? (KB people)
- Also, why do we need to make clickbait posts (Men’s health)
2. “Do you do warm-up sets and if so how do you program?”
- Yes, but not a ton, because we warm up 20-25 minutes before we step foot in the weight room
- We only really do 1-2 work sets “money” or “growth” sets
- Picking Set 3 – Use the second to last set to decide what the final set should be
- Bill Starr 5×5
- Create a relationship and ask for a RPE (Rating of Perceived Exertion) for their heavier set
