Hi there fellow strong first aficionados!
I would really appreciate your opinions on my turkish get-up form. The only part that feels uncomfortable to me is the transition from elbow to back on the way back (especially on the left side). I always slide around on the floor to create some space between the arm and my body in order to have space to roll on my back.
Also I have a question concerning the weight jump to 24kg: I I can do much more than 5 reps each of get ups with 16kg without resting much in between, but my wrists seem to be to weak to do a complete get-up with the 24kg kettlebell. I have a hard time keeping the wrists straight (especially the one on the left) and in addition to that the pressure of the kettlebell on my forearm is very uncomfortable. Should I just do half reps with 24kg until my wrists get strong enough and my forearms get used to the pressure or should I get a 20kg kettlebell? Or should i quit kettlebells and try contemporary dance instead because me whining about 24kg of iron (yes, the 16kg kettlebell is made out of plastic) hurting my forearms makes me unworthy of the sport? What do you think?
Many greetings from Berlin!
Stay healthy and strong!
