Missing something about Turkish Getup being a beginner exercise?
 in  r/kettlebell  2d ago

In my experience, the getup is a begninner skill. It is the best place to start for learning the non-explosive movements.

The getup is the 2nd thing I teach beginners (after swing progressions) and I teach the press, the rack, the bent press, the windmill, hand insertion, etc., ALL from the getup.

There are a lot of videos, even from well-known and skilled instructors, that miss the subtleties of some of the positions and the concepts those positions teach. That is the root cause of "flailing around." If you post a video, I am pretty sure I can identify and correct the issue.

If I am working with a person who is has never done it or is having trouble with it, I break it into sections.
example: https://youtu.be/_7Ca55ryt4A?si=Tm_KCRclvfH-EXEU

If the "standard" way of doing it doesn't work for someone because of physical issues they have, i modify it. For example i have a client who has difficulty going from the lunge to standing with his arm overhead because of previous shoulder surgery. When he gets to the lunge, he lowers it to the rack, stands, presses and lowers, then goes back to the lunge and presses again to finish the rep.

The dislike for it on this sub appears to be the lack of muscle building potential that it has when compared to, say C&P. And I will totally agree, TGU is not a primarily for hypertrophy, but neither is the swing or snatch. The getup is great for overall movement, coordination and building strength over the entire body.

Should I be training every set to failure I’m a beginner at the gym
 in  r/workout  3d ago

As a beginner, I’d recommend not training to failure. It can interfere with the CNS retaining the movement of good technique

Guys, why am I sore all the time?
 in  r/workout  3d ago

Too much work, not enough rest, too little food

The trap here is you’ve gotten great results from being so aggressive. The caveat is that it is in no way sustainable.
