Dr Mark Cheng, RKC Lvl 2 taking the TGU to a new level.
"And in those simple beautiful movements I remembered what was really important in training; that consistency trumps intensity; all the time. That intensity is born from consistency. That one cannot force it, one has to lay in wait for it, patiently, instinctively, calmly and be ready to grab it when Grace lays it down in front of you."

That's insane, I can't believe that! The bell didn't even twitch!
Very cool! Something new to attempt. That is some crazy tension.
Okay, i'm going to have to try that. Tell my wife i love her.
i can't do it with an 18 :-(
Remember, folks. A good dental plan and a Thai-style steel groin cup are absolute musts! :)
Very nice. I may have to stick that vid on my blog for the people in classes.
Even though I have the Windy Steel Cup, I don't think I'll attempt it just yet.

I've tried it. Very difficult. There comes a point if you lift too heavy of a weight it just gets silly. But doing it with medium weights is a nice variation!
WOW! I am very impressed Dr. Mark!
Thanks for the inspiration! Something new to shoot for.
Tim, tell your wife to make sure the kids don't come running by when you're trying it. I was glad that one of the girls was holding my son at the time when they filmed it.
Royce, if you're trying it with the old rubberized 18lb bells with the skinny grip, that might be why. Try a 26 lb bell and crush the dookie out of the grip & see what happens.
BJ, don't forget the full cage headgear along with the Windy cup & feel free to put my vid on your blog. That's a quite a flattering thought. Courtney sends her love to Kori.
Dr. Ryan, thanks for the kind words & encouragement, but the idea for this b/u TGU wasn't mine. Someone, perhaps Rif, was giving a presentation at the April 2007 RKC I was attending as an assistant. I just heard the words "doing the Turkish Get-Up with a bottom-up grip" and I dove onto the nearest 16kg bell to try it. :)
