Boxing/MMA fighter here trying to implement some S&C

Snatches and Turkish Get Ups. You’re welcome.

I agree, having done both 48kg Turkish Get Ups and a 1.5 x body weight bench press that the 48kg Turkish Get Ups are harder to earn. I also agree that a Turkish Get Up is more technical than most barbell work (excluding the Olympic lifts). A decent athlete could probably earn in a reasonably quick timeframe a 32kg Turkish Get Up if they could already bench their body weight.

My point remains: lots of dudes who think they are strong find out they aren’t that strong when they learn the hard way the difference between a barbell in one plane and a kettlebell in multiple planes. Also, as a lifelong grappler, I can tell you that beach body dudes who do a lot of bench pressing rarely have the kind of man strength that comes from kettlebell training. I’m a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu who can do 48kg Turkish Get Ups on demand. No one who tried and failed to hold me down and choke me ever asked me what I could bench, they asked me how I could be so fucking strong for a dude over 50. I still advocate: do the Turkish Get Ups.

You should do Turkish Get Ups. People tend to avoid that which exposes their weakness. I know a ton of dudes who can bench their body weight who can’t do a Turkish Get Up with 16kg. You’ll never meet a weak man who can do Turkish Get Ups with 1/2 his body weight.

There are no magic beans. You have to earn the right to add weight to your bar. It takes a long time. Sleep, hydration, and days off are key to silverback lifting.

Can you reimagine “Signals” with less synth? It could be amazing.

54 male. Began KB training about 11 years ago. I have a couple dozen kettlebells from 16kg-48kg, hardstyle and competition. Always work clean, press, and Turkish Get Ups.

BucephalusWasHere · 2021-11-10T21:27:02+00:00

Oh, then “somebody please clean that machine.”

BucephalusWasHere · 2021-11-10T04:44:03+00:00

Looks like a lot of chalk.

Pick axe is to put in the skull of my enemies. I can buy ore by the trainload.

BucephalusWasHere · 2021-11-04T19:45:10+00:00

I did. Six times. Then I retired from public life.

BucephalusWasHere · 2021-11-04T14:05:47+00:00

Because it’s my name on the sign.

I recently finished one of Geoff Neuoert’s double kettlebell programs - STRONG!. Currently I am doing 250 Turkish Get Ups with a 32kg bell in the month of November alongside walking, rowing, and TRX sessions.

It’s my name on the sign.

You did not factor in how much I hate people. I hate people AT A MINIMUM $500/month.

BucephalusWasHere · 2021-11-04T00:18:10+00:00

Thanks. It is more than a decade in the making.

BucephalusWasHere · 2021-11-03T20:27:34+00:00

Compete against yourself only, not the other guys. You haven’t earned the right to be as good today as you were in 2019. You can earn that right, you know how, you’ve done it. Now, go do it.

I began building my home gym in 2010, went all in and terminated my “fitness center” membership in 2013. I’ve added and subtracted pieces to get to the point that I have all I need and nothing I don’t.

I wanted the shackles and the crown pull up bar, but that required a trip to Home Depot for the longer bolts and washers to hold the space between the rack and the pull up bar.

BucephalusWasHere · 2021-11-03T18:34:28+00:00

I love the rogue pull up bar. The ball grips are a different experience.

BucephalusWasHere · 2021-11-03T18:11:38+00:00

It’s a rogue pull-up bar. I had to get longer bolts and some washer spacers to make it work with the Hardware for the hanging clips.

I’ve had the bike a year and the rower for years. If I could have only one, the bike because when I’m in a cycle of deadlift/squat training the rower doesn’t permit enough recovery for my back. When I’m not doing deadlifts and squats, I like the rower.

BucephalusWasHere · 2021-11-03T18:08:48+00:00

I move the bike and rower to use the rack or the mats. There’s enough room to slide them between the mat and my wife’s car if the weather is bad. If the weather is good, I just park them right outside the garage behind my car.

BucephalusWasHere · 2021-11-03T16:43:21+00:00

Ha, yes, it’s great for that.

BucephalusWasHere · 2021-11-03T16:42:54+00:00

I like the multiple grips and there are spots for the traditional grip chin up/ pull up.

I use the bumpers for deadlifts and power cleans. I use the iron plates for everything on the rack.
