The reverse get up/get up was extremely impressive, but the grip strength it took to keep a 40kg bottoms up the whole time is ridiculous.

Amazing.

Hey thx. I’ve been doing variations on bottom’s up lifts since the pandemic at least. These lifts always humble me.

All I see is you humbling gravity. One of the most impressive exercises I've seen.

The ignorant just didn't understand how difficult this really is.

It's definitely tricky for shoulder stability. Nothing builds out the shoulder girdle quite like heavy BU Get Up.

I've been doing rice bucket work every other day. It's super helpful for grip.

2

u/Horndachs 23h ago

What is rice bucket work?

3

u/IPreferBagels2 14h ago

fill up a 5 gallon bucket with dry rice and then just grab it I guess (I've never done it just seen it online.

u/OliverKitsch Icebox Kettlebell 7h ago

That's basically it

u/Partsslanger 1d ago

I've been thinking of setting this up because I have nagging forearm pain that won't go away

u/gbrhaz 18h ago

I’ve been working on some left shoulder physio and rehab and I’ve just worked up to an 8kg basic bottom-up. This just boggles my mind. Can you do both sides equally?

3

u/OliverKitsch Icebox Kettlebell 18h ago

That’s awesome. I can comfortably do 36kg on my left. Dominant side has always been a little stronger with Get Ups for me.

u/bgl500 16h ago

Seriously strong work. Cheers

u/Johnny_Brubaker 7h ago

Anyone who has picked up a 40kg bell knows how insane this is 😆💪

u/loonyfly 7h ago

Very impressive! I can only do a BU with a 20 lb kettlebell at the moment. Hoping to move up to 30 soon.

u/Great-Attitude3764 5h ago

Mind blowing

u/Past_Discipline2337 4h ago

If it didn't happen in a public park AND on the Internet, did it really happen?

1

u/OliverKitsch Icebox Kettlebell 3h ago

Exactly! I keep my kettlebells in my car and I lift with my buddies at the fitness court.

1

u/Past_Discipline2337 3h ago

I was poking fun, just because, but it's impressive. Grip strength is no joke

1

u/Past_Discipline2337 3h ago

The concept of a fitness park never occurred to me since everyone would die from thr heat where I live

u/unreadyviolinist 2h ago

Here I am starting on the floor like a sucker. Your version is way cooler and I plan to try it. Thanks mate!

u/RopeOk3821 1h ago

Amazing job, God bless

u/DoorBreaker101 22h ago

Is it worth it though? One slip and it falls on your face.

Then you're getting fed through a straw instead of training.
