So I've been reqdin gbtje forums someone mentioned if you can press a 32kg kettlebell you can algo do the tgu with it. Is this true??
Funny I can press it, but haven't tried tgu on itThey're not necessarily related, but I would suspect if you can press it, you can TGU it. I could TGU the 32 well before I could press it.
No, I say no. Not necessarily.So I've been reqdin gbtje forums someone mentioned if you can press a 32kg kettlebell you can algo do the tgu with it. Is this true??

I mean, barring injury, some limiting anthropometry, or just the *skill* needed, but if you can press it, I'd be surprised if you didn't have the *strength* to TGU it (which is what I was getting at with "if you can, then you can", above.Not in my case. I can Press the 16 for reps, but I can't TGU it.
I agree. Although over the years I've seen many a student who neglected their leg training and had a hard time coming up out of the lunge. This was easily fixed with proper leg training. If standing up wasn't the issue the next or more frequent sticking point, trying to do a straight crunch with the weight instead of a strong twist and drive. Also easily corrected.I mean, barring injury, some limiting anthropometry, or just the *skill* needed, but if you can press it, I'd be surprised if you didn't have the *strength* to TGU it (which is what I was getting at with "if you can, then you can", above.
Though @Kozushi makes an excellent point wrt to the "little wee muscles" comment above.
