Video of left hand then right hand Turkish Get-Up with a 100lb dumbbell now posted.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3U9uepx37E
DON’T even know how I figured that out!! Give it a spin.
I’ve always said to the guys, “If you don’t know Jack, then you don’t know JACK!!”
Video of 300 lb barbell middle finger Deadlift on you tube now.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4afofIfNPQ
Holy cow…you got 400 and 450!?!? I’d love to hit it with those bad boys. The Maine state chair for NAS is in the next town over. We have a training group that meets on Saturdays. We train at his house. His brother lives next door. The brother is a self employed Landscaper. To blow off steam, he took up welding. He’s built us some Fingal Fingers, Conan’s Wheel/Viking Press, Car Squat/Car Deadlift. Built 4 ‘baskets’ that go on the bottom of our yoke. The baskets get loaded with kegs partially filled with water. Talk about OSCILLATION!! This guy has got a lot of steam to blow!!
When we first got the Fingers, we cut one down. I thought it was a bad idea. I knew once we got the hang of the Fingers we’d be able to lift the heavy one. As it stands, I am by far the weakest of the group. The Fingers are one of my best events. I can do all 3 in 20 seconds.
If you can’t ‘clean’ that Finger overhead, pressing/lockout strength certainly DOES matter so you can get you arms straight. Most guys clean it to chest then push press it. I clean it overhead in one motion bending my legs JUST ENOUGH to get under it getting my arms straight ASAP.
For some reason, this is one of those events I get particularly amped up for.Not what I wanted to hear but if I’m going to do it then I best to it RIGHT!! Thanks for clarifying. Definitely curious to see what I can do on this move!!
Jarrod: It can be VERY interesting to see what guys excel at vs what stops ’em dead in there tracks. In our strongman group we got one guy in the 105kg class that just can’t hold the Fingal Finger overhead all the way to the end. Yet, he’s one of the best at this event!! He works it overhead as long as he can. When he can’t go further, he lets it drop on his Traps!!Yeoww…we cringe every time he does it but he finishes before everyone else!!
Yeah my legs are strong and my hips are finally starting to catch-up. My shoulders have always been ‘loose’. The best thing I ever did for them was Olympic Lifting. My rotators are bullet proof. My shoulders are solid.
Now I got to hammer my lockout for pressing. That’s going to take some time for sure.Believe we’re the only amateur strongman group in the US that has ’em. We got 3 to flip over in 60 seconds. Wts go 325,350,375.
What’s odd is that with ANY type of pressing I am horrible. These are actually one of my better events!Just thought of something. These Turkish Get-ups are probably great for shoulder stability I can use for the Fingal Fingers event I got coming up next month. Interesting
you win
Maybe what we got here is a bad case of incontinents?!?!
Maybe we should change the names for both groups. USAWA style could become the “This Continent Continental Clean and Jerk”. IAWA style could become the “That Continent Continental Clean and Jerk”? I’ll probably get banned for this post. Not that I can blame anyone.
Jarrod, you weigh 190ish?? Hitting 100lbs will be much more impressive than me hitting it @230. I’d like to get back down to the 190’s.
Doing a Turkish get-up with a bar is a 1/2 Gardner correct?? 115 sounds like a lot of weight, never mind 135. I’ll have to give it a try soon.
came off floor the first time.
