Intent

Today we work on everyone’s favorite lift: the Turkish Get up! Yes we say that with sarcasm but we also understand the value of this movement for building elite levels of fitness and for survival as we continue through our lifetime. Getting up off the ground may not be our favorite choice modality for improving our fitness, but it is the one most essential. Turkish Get ups and burpees may be cursed by many but they are valued by all. In our conditioning today, we bench press row and sit up. You choose your variation but the goal is for the bench press to be challenging enough that it builds fatigue, allowing you to start unbroken and may demand one rest in the seven reps as the sets progress. You want to scale the three movements in such a way that allows for a minimum of 30 seconds rest before it’s time to begin your next interval.
