Beyond things like "Simple", "Solid", "Sinister", "Beast Tamer", "Iron Maiden", and the SFG I & II technique standards, are there any more formalized strength standards for kettlebell exercises?
What comes to mind for me is something like these: Weightlifting Performance Standards for the...
I was thinking earlier about how to increase the weight I use for my Turkish Get-Ups. I've been using a 24kg bell for a while and am fairly comfortable with it but am still nowhere near being able to perform the movement with a 32kg bell.
Would it be a good idea to try 'reverse' get-ups - i.e...
I polled the StrongFirst Instructor Facebook group for the best TGU training tips.

Hi all,
I'm relatively new to this forum and to the S&S program, but am really learning from this forum, so thanks for all the great advise and content. That being said, I wanted to upload some videos of both my one-handed swing and get-up, and put myself out there for critique, advise...
Hey all, new to Strongfirst and kettlebells generally as of last month. I heard Pavel on the radio, my head exploded, then I bought Simple and Sinister, read it, started last month - May 2nd, 2017.
I won't bore anyone with how last month went, but it started like this:

My question is, can i use TGU as a main strength lift?? and can it help a lot for my performance in combat sports such as Judo??
If so, how should I implement TGU in my training program??
How many sets, reps...

This came to mind from the Tactical Get Up video in the "Alternative to TGU" thread. The video is about 15 minutes and the presenter lists the workout at the end. Hope some of you find this helpful. At the least, it may illuminate some of the transfer potential found in the Get Up.
Hi,
Anybody know of any literature on the mechanics of the swing and the turkish getup?
Thanks
Edit: I'm looking for kinesiology/movement mechanics type literature.
If you're doing simple and sinister, how much rest should you be taking between individual Turkish Get-Ups?
In the book, Pavel specifies a 1:1 work:rest ratio. I always thought this was for both swings and get-ups; though the way it's phrased, it's possible he is referring only to swings...
