As if TGUs weren't challenging enough, let's add another twist.

If you cannot maintain form with the weight you use then, change the weight. Pride and ego should not dictate practice and principle.

Start the week off with a good session on the bench and then some.

Safety considered, there is value to making yourself move in simple conditioning drills.

Work to “True” failure (loss of physical positioning) not “Relative” failure (loss of mental endurance).

If sets require interruption at designated weights, or position breaks, make a minor adjustment and continue.

Each set should be difficult, violent, and feature sound positioning throughout.

Goal is fluid, seamless transition from movement to movement, and hand-to-hand switches from side-to-side.

In order for hitting a tire with a hammer to be more than novelty, it needs to be performed with power, precision, and fluidity.

Ground-to-overhead choices today are: Full-range high pull, dumbbell power snatch, kettlebell snatch (from floor).

Work as long as possible today. That's all that's demanded of you.

You're going to spend a lot of your day today in the air.

Nothing like the bench to kick off the week.

A lot of tension going around today. Stay solid.

TGUs. Turkish get ups. Lots of them. It's a hard start today. You have been warned.

As you lock in on the 100 day mark, you should be feeling the beast within. It's a good day to unleash that power.

This is one of those workouts that involves a bit of smash and grab, all for a good cause.
