Without question this is the BEST guide I have seen, thus far, on YouTube on the Turkish get-up. It is clear to me that you gave a great deal of thought on how to precisely communicate the intricacies of the lift. And, the filming and the editing of the video is incredibly professional.

Definitely the best TGU tutorial on YouTube 🔥

Zack,
I absolutely love your tutorial videos. I’ve been training with kettlebells for years and this gave me a few pointers for improving my practice. Thank you brother!

Videos on TGU are always welcome! I do it “windshield wipe” as you say in 9:42 because of space but have become used to it. It feels really solid with the right but with the left I still have trouble and haven’t found out the difference. I will need to record me from different angles to spot what’s going on. Anyway left is my weak side, so it always feels different.

Can i ask you a question？I start with《simple and sinister 》
My current state：24KG 2H SWING 10Rx5

24KG TGU Bilateral 1RX5

2H SWING Kettlebell handle will rubs my inner thigh，Can I use a 16KG or 20KG kettlebell for one-handed training directly？Omit 24KG 2H 10RX10。

[tsilov]

Thanks, excellent tutorial, I review this regularly to perfect my get up technique

[larrywallace]

This exercise will let you know really quickly if your functionally sound.

[bcurda]

Brilliant, so clear and easy to follow taking time to explain the little things like alignment and using a range of examples.

Wow! Zack, this is such a great video. I'm just learning how to do Turkish Get-up. Thank you so much for sharing this.

[terrapuraregenerative]

Very very nice guide especially when he says "i still make mistakes" however he explain 10 times better than my ex p.t.
There are a lots of p.t. out there that think that they'll are god and do not make any mistakes until one day you realise that they do not even write down progressions and weight of previous session and you let them go.

I have tight shoulders, can I do a Turkish get up with bell loaded and do a press on the stand up?

[celestialsupreme]

Interested in whether or not the hing/dip is necessary or if it's a function of mobility? I don't personally find the need to hinge/dip to change from open hip lunge to hand on the ground

Unbelievable video sir... what a classic one...I have never seen such a technique in any video
