21-15-9 reps of:
Turkish get ups, 45lb. barbell
ring dips
I finished this workout in a disappointing 21:46. A Turkish get up, or TGU, is a maneuver in which you go from a supine to a standing position with a weight held overhead; in this case the weight is an extremely unwieldy barbell.
Workouts like this are particularly frustrating for me simply because of the neurological difficulty; that is, the coordination, agility, accuracy, and balance required for a single TGU are at the edge of my abilities. This leads to occasional missed repetitions, instances where I dramatically lose control of the barbell, oftentimes accompanied by swearing. For some reason, it's far more bothersome for me to miss a rep due to lack of skill than it is for me to miss a rep due to lack of strength or endurance. If you have any guesses as to why that might be, feel free to leave them in the comment section.
