Turkish Get Ups, yes I've done these before.  But with a barbell?  NO.

After progressively warming up with Kettlebell Turkish Get Ups and focussing very much on good form - we advanced onto Barbells.  My efforts below are not a pretty sight - but I managed to get the job done.  JUST!

In future practice sessions I will slow things down, and move from point of stability to point of stability under control.  This is not a move I should be rushing.  A few simple but excellent teaching points from Rob and Mark will help refine my technique and to ensure a solid base of support throughout - especially during heavier lifts.

In the video you will see my response time and reaction skills are tested rather nicely too.  You can't negotiate with the bar.
