I think you should make a small line of T shirt merch. The visualization and sketches you have are so powerful and amazing, and I think a lot of people like myself would be proud to wear a nicely simple and well thought out T shirt displaying their favourite exercises or movements!
I implemented TGUs in my training routine after your kettle bell swing video, which got me into kettle bell training. Thanks for that! As usual - your visualisation is second to none.
Dang, 40 kg is up there. You're getting close to the beast! A little side note, you can actually lift more with the human get up, assuming that human knows what to do and is sturdy. They wrap around the upper arm while you hold onto them, so the weight actually feels more stable, unless they move around.
@ thank you it took me about three years to get to that level started with a 14kg. That is interesting to know but as you mentioned it all depends on the human. That is a lot of trust to place on a human.
@ the Turkish get up I see it as a skill that you have to work on to progress. Routine wise I would do and still do strength three times a week. I would do as part of my session 5 get ups on each side every session. At that time I started mainly training with kettlebells. So I would add more kettle bell exercises to my sessions. Focusing my strength training sessions to be centered around kettlebells helped with the progression. The kettlebell swing is an amazing movement that will help you progress with the get up. This channel has a great video explaining in detail the magic of the kettlebell swing The key is to stay consistent, start small, and the results will just come on their own.
I’ve been following your content a while now. You’re definitely on the road to a milli with these high quality breakdowns. Keep up the good work 💪🏿💯💪🏿💯💪🏿💯
Awesome Explanation, Awesome Exercise. The most important thing is to have a stable underground and good traction (with shoes, feet, gloves, barehand or whatever) a hard ground is often very uncomfortable while a mat is very slippery. Doing it on a wooden floor with bare hands and feet is optimal until you get sweaty, then it gets dangerous. Switch positions, drie up the floor or put on shoes after that.
Please start your video saying you will show graphics of how to oerform this movement. I was about to go search for a live explanation when you showed it incredibly well. Impressive explanation and graphics by the way. 🙌👏🙌👏🙌👏
I usually do tgu's as part of my warm up, but i had a shoulder injury a few months ago so i switched to med balls and sandbags. I was also training for a wrestling tournament so i adapted it by making it more explosive. My record is something like 6 or 7 with a 45kg sandbag. Edit: the bags/balls are in shoulder carry position btw
I really enjoy doing this with sandbags on the shoulders. I almost put it in this video but didn't want it to get too long. I'll have to put it in the sandbag video once I get around to it. Thank you for your comment!
I'm really admire your content, and the way you bring this valuable information to us. I want to know more about adductor muscles and inner thigh overall, the hidden power behind it, and also to recover from adductor injuries. Thanks a lot !!!
Love your videos. 🙏🏽🙏🏽 I’ve just started doing these, only using 15 lbs. I have shoulder issues and that’s where I get fatigued doing these. I love them, tho. I’m never doing “cardio” again, unless I’m doing kettlebells or trail running someplace beautiful. The core work, full body strength and balance benefits feel fantastic. I’m finally healing a lot of imbalances.
This is a great one for fixing imbalances, and honestly it's been great for shoulders for many people. It tends to create stability in the shoulder from many angles. Though depending on the particular type of issue you may need some supplemental exercises. Feel free to ask if you have any questions about healing up, I'd be happy to help.
@ Thank you!! I do have other shoulder exercises I try to do, and I can tell they’re great. Finding the time to do all of the things is a challenge. 😭😂 So I like these full body moves. I’ve gotta fix my psoas, knees, lower back, calves, something down my whole left arm, ankles… I’ve made a lot of progress but I’m so tired of therapy specific exercises I just can’t make myself do them much anymore.
Yet another fantastic video Mover I got into TGU's when I got into Kettlebells and Heavy Club training from Mark Wildman's superb Wildman Athletica channel a few years ago. It's such a great exercise, and as someone who trans in Krav Maga, I find it really helps with ground fighting and just general functional life fitness Mark has some great breakdown videos on his channel to show how to train the separate areas of the TGU to optimize your use of the exercise
I've never cared for this exerciseuch, but I've recently started with movement training, and I've only just noticed how similar it is to some movements I do on a regular basis, namely the kick-through or the beast-crab underswitch.
This is something of a marriage between movement training and strength training. I've noticed if you're already a pretty strong or big person, movement training is enough. If your naturally thin or still need to gain strength, this is a great way to do movement training and shore up your weaknesses at the same time.
I've been interested but nervous about this exercise since I first came across it years ago. Thanks for the vid... I think it's time to finally learn it
Its like learning to ride a bike, its complicated at first but once you get it, its easy. Just learn one pattern then add the next and so on until you have it all put together. Best of luck!
It doesn't enjoy much popularity with bodybuilders. They see it as wasted energy that could be spent on bulking muscles. It's just tough to appreciate coordination and injury prevention until after you suffer a few big injuries. Then it starts to look a lot more appealing.
Maybe it's because I have some Turkish in me - just kiddin -, but as opposed to other (complex) exercise, I pretty much had this one in the bag the first I tried, it just felt natural to me.
yyyeeeessss ahahahah as of now I live every time I get a notification of a new video of yours like when it's time to open gifts for Christmas as s child lmao. so excited
I have a question for everyone here as I assume you are all seasoned using kettlebells. I have used kettlebells before but never consistently or intensely at all. So I would consider myself a beginner. I want to buy some to start implementing kettlebell swings and eventually what is in this video. I’m 28 years old, I lift weights three times a week, full body three times a week cus I have limited time due to my job. I’ve been lifting weights consistent for about only two years now. I’m 6’0” 235 lbs. what would be a good starting out weight for kettlebells for me? Thanks
Well, it's a little tough when you first start out because you're going to get some beginner gains. I've had to teach a lot of guys how to use the kettlebells with a 12kg bell but they almost always jump up to 16kg within a few weeks, right after the body starts to make sense of the ballistic form. And at 235 pounds, 16 kg will remain useful in many exercises, but it won't be good for the swing for very long. You will probably end up at 24 or 28 kg on the swing. I would say 16 kg will give you the most bang for your buck, as you can use it for so many exercises, even your warm ups once your strong enough. But you will have to invest in heavier bells rather quickly for the ballistic lifts. You can also go the adjustable kettlebell route. More expensive up front but if you stick with kettlebells it will save you a lot of money. Mine goes from 12kg - 32kg. It was almost $300 but I only need the one. Hope this helps out.
@@moversodyssey nice! I think I may take the adjustable route. You have any recommendations on the adjustable kettlebell? Or will buying one on Amazon or Wal-Mart suffice
@@sohcee Theres a link in the description box to bells of steel. They have the best one I've tried, though the one from kettlebell kings is on par. These are competition kettlebells, which means its a standardized shape and size. If you go with something not standardized it can become a cheaper buy, but I also find them less comfortable. But it's all up to personal preference. My first one was front amazon and it was a steel adjustable kettlebell for $50. But you had to buy 7.5 pound weights separately to add to it. It worked great until I started doing more snatches and mid air hand transitions. But I got a lot of use out of it before that. Hope this helps you.
@@moversodyssey perfect! This actually helped a whole lot, I appreciate it a lot. Love your videos btw 👍🏽 just came across your channel about two weeks ago and have already implemented some things into my regimen
As someone who wants to become a Olympic wrestler in the future(even tho I don’t have a place to train wrestling right now but I’m only 15 so I have time lefy) I wanna train my body in these types of way but I don’t go gym so this is extremely useful. Also doing one arm clean and then into a leg assisted press is a really good way to get this type of stength
Lol. Its all about priorities and what you enjoy. This isn't for everyone, but there is no doubt it's helped a lot of people feel better and perform better. Some people also don't like how complicated it is and feel you could replace this with other exercise that could collectively do the same. Which is true, you could. But personally, I love a good movement challenge.
Sir your videos are great. I hope you make videos for joints ( all of em) too. I since 2-3 months had a cracking sound in my shoulders. Soon idk what happened while doing push ups I had an impingement. I thought it's rotator cuff issue so did the respective exercise with good posture but this turned horrific for me now I am not able to use my right shoulder for moderate weight, i can't do pushups properly, can't sit with my elbows on table and my overall posture is too affected. Had been doing dead hangs but it just gave relief to the pain to a certain extent Waiting for one of your videos
Can't say for sure whats going on with out seeing it. But sounds like your chest and anterior shoulders might be getting too strong compared to your rear shoulders and upper back. Have you tried to strengthen the rotator cuff with external rotations and/or build up the upper back with rows? You would have to do this while giving up pressing movements for awhile to rebalance the shoulders if thats the case.
i train at home so i dont have kettlebells but i do have dumbells so i will use that to get strong at this lift. I would love it if you made a video going in depth on athletic leg training that you can do with minimal equimpent. So lets say a bar to jump or hold onto two dumbells and also places where you can sprint and jump far and ofc to do other exercise. My personal idea is to use stuff like adam archuleta used but also some difficult/unilateral moves to train that dont need a lot of weight
It's like a Spartan training method for bodybuilding I really like the way you train with kettlebells Thank you for the awesome bodybuilding training video.👍 Like~ Click!💖
Youve got so many good videos now and all of them seem like good ideas; but its impossible for most people to implement everything you've shown into their workout. I'd love to see what you'd be doing if you had eg. X hrs at the gym a week over Y sessions etc.
It all depends on your current goals, what your body needs and what you enjoy. I change my routine every 6-8 weeks, but some things within the routine stay pretty consistent. Personally I'm not trying to gain a lot of strength these days, I did most of that in my 20's and early 30's. Now I just try to maintain strength while learning new skills and keeping the body healthy. I need to make more programs and put them on my website for people. I've slowed down because I signed a book deal for a calisthenics book and it's been requiring a lot of work. It will have a lot of calisthenics programs in it though. Should be out next year.
The way you guide about it is awesome please tell me what exercise I do for bow legs. I watched some youtube video but it is not perfect like i need please tell me answer Regards
Actually the gladiator get up mentioned in this video would be great for that. It helps strengthen the adductors and stretch out the hamstrings and hips. Also many people with bowed legs have a lot of internal tibial rotation. Doing external tibial rotations with an exercise band will often do a lot to correct this. Hope this helps out. Best of luck!
I'm eventually going to make a video on it, but in the mean time I put a link in the description box to a video from the Hardstyle Kettlebell Pro channel. He does a great job at demonstrating it.
No problem, you have a great channel. Every time I watch your stuff, I can tell you genuinely enjoy what you're doing and I always learn a lot. And yea I make all the illustrations myself. It takes a little while to make the videos that way, but it's a lot of fun.
If you already have good integrated strength you will need to go heavier. Most newbies to this are so wobbly and uncoordinated that they have to start low. But once the body gets the hang of it you have to start adding the weight. I can get some benefit from 16kg, but to really feel it I need 24kg. But I had to start with 8 kg after my knee injury.
hey! there is a big motivational thank you, in a way from my side.your chanel about whole moveness was ignition about losing all my overveight.thank you keep up! im still 130 kg lost around +40
Yes, it works great with both. Though dumbbells tend to be more likely to slip from the hands in this position, so just be sure to keep a tight grip throughout.
Should we add this into our workouts at the very start to fire up the body entirely or at the end of the workout to fine tune any missing links and wrap the body tightly ?
25 years of training, playing sports, getting injured, fixing injuries and helping others do the same. I have a list of another 50 videos just waiting, they just take so long to make in this format. There are a lot of good once coming up at the beginning of 2025 though. I'm excited to get to them.
Dr.Mike says the, are useless. That beeing said He trained hinself to a point he can't perform basic human movement patterns. So I don't take any advise from him about athleticsm or mobility.
Yea, this one is generally hated by bodybuilders. It's a very different training philosophy than what they follow. This exercise is complicated and uses up energy that they feel could be spent on building bigger muscles. I understand it. This exercise is more for people who have to worry about physical performance, injury or just want to feel better in their bodies.
I want coaching and guidnace from you sir. I have put the request on your website and instagram too. I am in dire need of personal coaching sir. How can i avail it sir . Hope to get a positive response.
Unfortunately, I stopped doing personal coaching because of time restrictions. Though if time opens up I may start again in the future. But if you send message on the contact page of my website I can try to help get you started in a good direction.
@@moversodyssey I am in dire need of it sir. I have requested via your website contact section. I am hypermobile and need a good movement expert which imo you are great at. !!! Looking for positive reply.
I've heard so much about this movement, good and bad. I don't kno if any of it is true, either way, but I personally like it. I just don't think enough weight can be used for this movement to be effective over an extended duration.
It's a good move, but there are many great moves. Training it will give you benefits, but training other moves will also give you benefits. If you're saying you can't add sufficient weight, you should try adding more weight.
This is the post polarizing exercise I know of. The negatives are that it doesn't really bulk or build lots of max strength and its complicated to learn. Though after you get used to it you can get fairly heavy in this lift, just takes some patience. On the positive side it tends to work out a lot of issues in the body that many people didn't even know they had. I've seen powerlifters increase their main lifts after implementing this lift just because it would make their shoulders stop hurting or increase hip mobility. If nothing else it's worth grabbing a 20 pound dumbbell and doing a few of these on each side during each warm up to see how it makes you feel.
Sirji I need your help .I already got connected to you via website. I mailed you the entire details regarding my postures . But got no response over week. I am kartik this side
Yes, although the kettlebell weight sits behind the wrist which helps pull the whole arm back into the shoulder socket, helping to open up the front of the shoulder and pack down the shoulder musculature in the back. But thats only a small part of the benefit and the rest can still all be gained with dumbbells,
Kettle bell circuits kept me in great shape during the scamdemic lockdowns I was already utilising them during strength conditioning sessions beforehand so I utilised that experience and put it to good use 💪🏼💪🏼
This can change a little depending on the movement, but in general you will have to learn how to breathe through a braced abdomen. In an exercise like the TGU there are a lot of pauses for each position, these are good opportunities to check in with the core and take one or two deep breathes behind the braced abdominal wall. Then you can breath out as you move into the next position as breathing out will naturally flex the core muscles and brace you during movement.
@moversodyssey you know, this is exactly my main issue. I have the strength to perform the exercises, but I just don't know how to inhale with my core engaged. Consider I cannot even go beyond two minutes in plank because of short breathing at some point. Is there any particular practice I can make to build this ability?
@@ggvirus5264 There is a regression of the plank that is often used for practice breathing through the tensed abdominal wall. You do a plank on the hands and the knees, which is enough to tense the abdomen but not so much that it wears you out. Then you just focus on getting a straight spine and neutral pelvic tilt and hold it once you feel you have found it. Then breath deep into the abdomen while keeping the same spinal and pelvis alignment. Try to feel some expansion all the way around the midsection when you inhale. If you fall into anterior pelvic tilt you will lose the braced abdomen. But thats it, just stay there for 30-60 seconds at a time and work on breathing deep enough that you don't lose your breath and braced enough that you don't lose your form. Hope it helps out!
I like to trigger Kettlebell tryhards by just calling it the Get up. 10/10 fun. On another note, the Get up is definitely one of these fabled "if you could do only one exercise" exercises and it fixed my right shoulder. :)
People get so cultly about these exercies though. One thing i did notice with this and just kettle bell swings was i was mobile and able to toss my 6 year around easier when we played compared when i just program weight lifting. I didnt do olympic weight liftinh though i feel like that would have a similar effect
This one in particular has it's own cult as well as the anti turkish get up cult. If you're only interested in body building and you don't really have any mobility or joint issues, I wouldn't do this one. But if you have already had injuries or joint pains or you plan to start do BJJ or playing basketball with your friends on the weekends, this can be a really great addition to bullet proof the body and insure good movement quality.
Dude has got to make a living somehow. This shit is time consuming. He's a genius imo but I also know youtube doesn't pay you for being a genius. He's explained it before in some if his comments.
Just one of the unfortunate realities of the business. Gotta make some money to keep the bills paid and keep the videos coming. But I turn down 95% of sponsor deals and only pick items I actually use myself and I think would be useful to my subscribers. And I'll always put them at the end of videos so you don't have to be harassed by them to get the information in the video.
Its funny how Dr. Mike talks so much crap about this exercise and kettebells in general saying it does nothing for strength and that its all a waste of time. Then you watch the guy actally do something that requires functional movement like jiu-jitsu and see that all he can do is lay flat and hope someone goes into big arms so he can choke them out.
It's not everyone's cup of tea, and it depends on your goals. Though It's a shame that the TGU has gotten so much hate recently, seems to be a fad to trash it online lately. This is great for grappling, but more so wrestling than BJJ. Though I would still recommend it for beginner to intermediate BJJ.

Soon idk what happened while doing push ups I had an impingement. I thought it's rotator cuff issue so did the respective exercise with good posture but this turned horrific for me now I am not able to use my right shoulder for moderate weight, i can't do pushups properly, can't sit with my elbows on table and my overall posture is too affected.
Had been doing dead hangs but it just gave relief to the pain to a certain extent
Waiting for one of your videos
Can't say for sure whats going on with out seeing it. But sounds like your chest and anterior shoulders might be getting too strong compared to your rear shoulders and upper back. Have you tried to strengthen the rotator cuff with external rotations and/or build up the upper back with rows? You would have to do this while giving up pressing movements for awhile to rebalance the shoulders if thats the case.
Do the balkan get up next
i train at home so i dont have kettlebells but i do have dumbells so i will use that to get strong at this lift. I would love it if you made a video going in depth on athletic leg training that you can do with minimal equimpent. So lets say a bar to jump or hold onto two dumbells and also places where you can sprint and jump far and ofc to do other exercise. My personal idea is to use stuff like adam archuleta used but also some difficult/unilateral moves to train that dont need a lot of weight
It's like a Spartan training method for bodybuilding
I really like the way you train with kettlebells
Thank you for the awesome bodybuilding training video.👍 Like~ Click!💖
Liked before watching 👀 ❤😊
Youve got so many good videos now and all of them seem like good ideas; but its impossible for most people to implement everything you've shown into their workout. I'd love to see what you'd be doing if you had eg. X hrs at the gym a week over Y sessions etc.
It all depends on your current goals, what your body needs and what you enjoy. I change my routine every 6-8 weeks, but some things within the routine stay pretty consistent. Personally I'm not trying to gain a lot of strength these days, I did most of that in my 20's and early 30's. Now I just try to maintain strength while learning new skills and keeping the body healthy.
I need to make more programs and put them on my website for people. I've slowed down because I signed a book deal for a calisthenics book and it's been requiring a lot of work. It will have a lot of calisthenics programs in it though. Should be out next year.
your the best bruv!
The way you guide about it is awesome please tell me what exercise I do for bow legs.
I watched some youtube video but it is not perfect like i need please tell me answer
Regards
Actually the gladiator get up mentioned in this video would be great for that. It helps strengthen the adductors and stretch out the hamstrings and hips. Also many people with bowed legs have a lot of internal tibial rotation. Doing external tibial rotations with an exercise band will often do a lot to correct this. Hope this helps out. Best of luck!

Always high quality content. So you sell stickers for vehicles or tshirts? ❤
Yassss! I want a MO car sticker
Check Etsy. I think he has t-shirts
Not many but I do sell some on my etsy shop. I'm going to make more here soon though.
its great exercise
Great one, thanks!
Can you describe the Gladiator version is some detail for us?
I'm eventually going to make a video on it, but in the mean time I put a link in the description box to a video from the Hardstyle Kettlebell Pro channel. He does a great job at demonstrating it.
Do you have an email I can send some design ideas for t-shirts?! I have so many great ideas for merch
If you go to my website at moversodyssey.com you can send me a message through the contact page. I'd be happy to check them out.
Funny how you put Greek soldier at 6:41 for this Turkish Get Up themed video 😂
I don't know how many people would get the irony in that. lol
Thank you for the shout out! I did not know of your channel. Do you draw all your illustrations ? -Louka
No problem, you have a great channel. Every time I watch your stuff, I can tell you genuinely enjoy what you're doing and I always learn a lot. And yea I make all the illustrations myself. It takes a little while to make the videos that way, but it's a lot of fun.
Shame i dont feel it with my 12kg kettlebell xD am i doing something wrong? Get up seems super easy for me from when i tried it first time.
If you already have good integrated strength you will need to go heavier. Most newbies to this are so wobbly and uncoordinated that they have to start low. But once the body gets the hang of it you have to start adding the weight. I can get some benefit from 16kg, but to really feel it I need 24kg. But I had to start with 8 kg after my knee injury.
@@moversodyssey ok, will buy adjustable one and try with it then :)
hey! there is a big motivational thank you, in a way from my side.your chanel about whole moveness was ignition about losing all my overveight.thank you keep up! im still 130 kg lost around +40
Congratulations!
Congrats on your progress! It makes me happy to hear that my channel had such a positive effect. Best of luck on your continued journey!
can you make a video on the Jamaican smile next
Can you make a video on how to lean the handstand please
Can we perform all the kettlebell exercises with dumbells as well
Yes, it works great with both. Though dumbbells tend to be more likely to slip from the hands in this position, so just be sure to keep a tight grip throughout.
Should we add this into our workouts at the very start to fire up the body entirely or at the end of the workout to fine tune any missing links and wrap the body tightly ?
Ayy another Video! How do you come up with the ideas i wonder!
25 years of training, playing sports, getting injured, fixing injuries and helping others do the same. I have a list of another 50 videos just waiting, they just take so long to make in this format. There are a lot of good once coming up at the beginning of 2025 though. I'm excited to get to them.
@@moversodyssey 100% looking forward to them! You just reminded me of my fathers advice to me, "Take Advantage of other people's experience."
Nice❤
Can you make a video about carrying weight can benefit your performance
TURKIYE MENTIONED 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
Is a dumbbell a substitute for kettlebells? I don't have one and I'm not well-versed in this
Yes, dumbbells still work great. Just hold on tight as they tend to slip during this exercise more often than kettlebells.
Dr.Mike says the, are useless. That beeing said He trained hinself to a point he can't perform basic human movement patterns. So I don't take any advise from him about athleticsm or mobility.
Yea, this one is generally hated by bodybuilders. It's a very different training philosophy than what they follow. This exercise is complicated and uses up energy that they feel could be spent on building bigger muscles. I understand it.
This exercise is more for people who have to worry about physical performance, injury or just want to feel better in their bodies.
@moversodyssey True but they will even find way to descredit that.
I want coaching and guidnace from you sir.
I have put the request on your website and instagram too.
I am in dire need of personal coaching sir.
How can i avail it sir .
Hope to get a positive response.
Unfortunately, I stopped doing personal coaching because of time restrictions. Though if time opens up I may start again in the future. But if you send message on the contact page of my website I can try to help get you started in a good direction.
@@moversodyssey I am in dire need of it sir. I have requested via your website contact section. I am hypermobile and need a good movement expert which imo you are great at. !!!
Looking for positive reply.
I've heard so much about this movement, good and bad. I don't kno if any of it is true, either way, but I personally like it. I just don't think enough weight can be used for this movement to be effective over an extended duration.
It's a good move, but there are many great moves. Training it will give you benefits, but training other moves will also give you benefits.
If you're saying you can't add sufficient weight, you should try adding more weight.
This is the post polarizing exercise I know of. The negatives are that it doesn't really bulk or build lots of max strength and its complicated to learn. Though after you get used to it you can get fairly heavy in this lift, just takes some patience.
On the positive side it tends to work out a lot of issues in the body that many people didn't even know they had. I've seen powerlifters increase their main lifts after implementing this lift just because it would make their shoulders stop hurting or increase hip mobility.
If nothing else it's worth grabbing a 20 pound dumbbell and doing a few of these on each side during each warm up to see how it makes you feel.
what software do you use to make your videos?
brother how do i start training at all? im 18 been sitting at a pc 15 hours a day i dont know anything
Sirji I need your help .I already got connected to you via website.
I mailed you the entire details regarding my postures . But got no response over week.
I am kartik this side
Does performing the exercise with dumbbells have the same impact?
Yes, although the kettlebell weight sits behind the wrist which helps pull the whole arm back into the shoulder socket, helping to open up the front of the shoulder and pack down the shoulder musculature in the back. But thats only a small part of the benefit and the rest can still all be gained with dumbbells,
You have to crush grip the dumbbell the entire time. I'm scared of dropping it on my face. I hate dumbbell tgu's for this reason.
it doesn't matter what you doing wrestling or bodybuilding
you need this exercise for better life and a healthy one 🤍👍
Kettle bell circuits kept me in great shape during the scamdemic lockdowns
I was already utilising them during strength conditioning sessions beforehand so I utilised that experience and put it to good use 💪🏼💪🏼
6 am crazy
Will this exercise cure all my problems?
If not I won’t bother
Just depends on your problems. Where this really shines in shoulder health, core strength, basic hip mobility and full body coordination.
😂
Yes, including your crippling existential dread
can you tell how to breathe properly to avoid feeling overwhelmed with heavier weights?
This can change a little depending on the movement, but in general you will have to learn how to breathe through a braced abdomen. In an exercise like the TGU there are a lot of pauses for each position, these are good opportunities to check in with the core and take one or two deep breathes behind the braced abdominal wall. Then you can breath out as you move into the next position as breathing out will naturally flex the core muscles and brace you during movement.
@moversodyssey you know, this is exactly my main issue. I have the strength to perform the exercises, but I just don't know how to inhale with my core engaged. Consider I cannot even go beyond two minutes in plank because of short breathing at some point. Is there any particular practice I can make to build this ability?
@@ggvirus5264 There is a regression of the plank that is often used for practice breathing through the tensed abdominal wall. You do a plank on the hands and the knees, which is enough to tense the abdomen but not so much that it wears you out.
Then you just focus on getting a straight spine and neutral pelvic tilt and hold it once you feel you have found it. Then breath deep into the abdomen while keeping the same spinal and pelvis alignment. Try to feel some expansion all the way around the midsection when you inhale.
If you fall into anterior pelvic tilt you will lose the braced abdomen.
But thats it, just stay there for 30-60 seconds at a time and work on breathing deep enough that you don't lose your breath and braced enough that you don't lose your form.
Hope it helps out!
@@moversodyssey Thank you very very much
I like to trigger Kettlebell tryhards by just calling it the Get up. 10/10 fun.
On another note, the Get up is definitely one of these fabled "if you could do only one exercise" exercises and it fixed my right shoulder. :)
You must of meant the "Turkish" get up fixed your right shoulder. It's ok, honest mistake.
@@kdak247 😂👍
People get so cultly about these exercies though. One thing i did notice with this and just kettle bell swings was i was mobile and able to toss my 6 year around easier when we played compared when i just program weight lifting. I didnt do olympic weight liftinh though i feel like that would have a similar effect
This one in particular has it's own cult as well as the anti turkish get up cult. If you're only interested in body building and you don't really have any mobility or joint issues, I wouldn't do this one. But if you have already had injuries or joint pains or you plan to start do BJJ or playing basketball with your friends on the weekends, this can be a really great addition to bullet proof the body and insure good movement quality.
Auuuuuuuu
Hi , can you give your video content in Hindi language
I much prefer the Turkish Get Down 😁
I tried this at the gym with 84kg and I’m 170lbs so their is no excuse for anyone without injuries 😂😂
💪🏽💪🔥🌿🏅🏆

This channel is the Hoe_Math of Fitness...
The kettlebell company advertisement at the end was a little unbecoming of you...otherwise I always enjoy your content!
Dude has got to make a living somehow. This shit is time consuming. He's a genius imo but I also know youtube doesn't pay you for being a genius. He's explained it before in some if his comments.
@@Dragonfly3111 Good to know, must have missed that. His content is off the charts!
Just one of the unfortunate realities of the business. Gotta make some money to keep the bills paid and keep the videos coming. But I turn down 95% of sponsor deals and only pick items I actually use myself and I think would be useful to my subscribers. And I'll always put them at the end of videos so you don't have to be harassed by them to get the information in the video.
@@moversodyssey Ignorant post by me, your stuff is off the charts and obviously takes tons of content creation time. Keep doing you!
Its funny how Dr. Mike talks so much crap about this exercise and kettebells in general saying it does nothing for strength and that its all a waste of time. Then you watch the guy actally do something that requires functional movement like jiu-jitsu and see that all he can do is lay flat and hope someone goes into big arms so he can choke them out.
Not sure man, theres better workouts with better ROI
Overcomplicated IMHO
Fair enough. I love its results but its pain to teach to anyone.
69th!!! 😂
Josh settlage says this exercise is F tier
It's not everyone's cup of tea, and it depends on your goals. Though It's a shame that the TGU has gotten so much hate recently, seems to be a fad to trash it online lately.
This is great for grappling, but more so wrestling than BJJ. Though I would still recommend it for beginner to intermediate BJJ.
@moversodyssey right on. Thank you for addressing it. I wanted to hear your thoughts on it
