Turkish get-up happiness!

[rydra_wong]

My gym has a new set of kettlebells, so I rewarded myself for getting back there by testing my TGU max. Got a personal best, and then managed to make it beyond that to a one rep max of one third bodyweight! Though only on my right side; I couldn't quite make it on the left.

But it made me very happy, and was sufficient to get a double-take from the very strong guy who asked me what weight the kettlebell I was using was.

They probably do! I find that as long as I can keep my shoulder blades down, they work muscles similar to ones I was working in PT for a clavicular sprain, which was a *lot* of stabilizer work.
