The Whitley Sledgehammer Getup

The IronTamer, MRKC David Whitley, unveiled his lastest strength feat at our kb seminar this weekend at Catalyst Athletics. Giving props to his old time strongman roots, Dave combines the Turkish Getup with a classic sledgehammer leverage move. Awesome man!

Awewome! David did this at the Brea HKC and it was equally as impressive!!!

What people don't understand is that the part where he lowers the the sledgehammer from the floor may be the most challenging part of the lift. I tried to do it as well and didn't even budge the sledgehammer off the floor

David always gives me such great ideas of new things to try!

190 x 1 x 12, 210/225 static holds, 24 kg goblet squats, floor pushups 30, 20

 This went VERY well almost all reps identical. Realized I get better drive AND minimize shoulder stress if I unrack it with more weight on ...
