By "Warrior Pushup" I mean the one leg one arm pushup in the "Naked Warrior" book.
Which exercise is "better" - it or the Turkish getup?
I am not in a position to be able to judge as I'm fairly new to weightlifting.
I would like some advice as I want to design my programme to be the best possible for me.
My instinct on this is that since the warrior pushup loads more weight on my arm while also loading lots of weight on all the anti-twist muscles all around my body, I'd think it would be the better exercise. It being safer isn't a bad point in its favour either. On the other hand, a kettlebell could be procured that would load as much or more weight onto my arm and body.
I wonder if anyone has had any thoughts on this.
