this week I started a TGU challenge, my goal is to do 500 get-ups with the 32 over 20 workouts within the month of October. my TGU training days will look like this:
joint mobility warm up
13 TGU's per side (makes 26)
25 swings
on non TGU days I am either resting, or doing a complex of single leg deads, goblets, armbars, burpees, battling ropes, jump rope, standing long jumps - not all on each day but a mix based on how I feel. the essential days are the TGU days.
I am doing the getups on sat, sun, tues, thurs - mon is a rest day, wed, fri and sat I mix in the other exercises mentioned depending upon how I feel. I also need to add 2 Wednesdays to get the 20 days of TGUs in within the month of Oct, so this week I did Tues, Wed, Thurs, will rest tomorrow then hit Sat/Sun.
these 3 days were difficult but very satisfying - I am taking my time to make sure my technique stays sound and I have been taking exaggerated pauses to rest ( 15 seconds or so) after doing 6 per side. it has taken me between 18 and 21 minutes to complete the 13 getups per side each morning this week. the 32kg is new to me, I have only been using a 24 for the past few years, i recently completed the 10,000 swing challenge with the 24, which prompted me to purchase the 32. so this challenge is taxing for me, though I recognize for many of you on the forum this challenge might not be that "challenging", but I am using it to get to my ultimate goal of a TGU with the 48. my thanks to those who participate in this forum for providing continuous motivation and ideas on ways to GET STRONG! today is a great day to train.
