TGU Knee to Half Kneeling Two Handed Bottoms Up Press

This is a mobility and stability drill designed to improve rotation as part of the Turkish Get Up knee to half kneeling breakdown.

Body Parts Targeted: Get UpDouble ArmDiagonal

Starting Position: Half Kneeling

Hold the kettlebell by the handle  in an  inverted (bottom up) position, assume the Half Kneeling  position and bring  the kettlebell  in  front of  your  sternum.  Rotating  toward  your  left pressing  side,  press  the  kettlebell  overhead with both hands. The goals are to keep the  right hip in extension, keep the  torso   tall. No  leaning  backwards,  rotate around  a single  axis,  and achieve  a  full  lockout with  both elbows at the top of the press. Rotation is VERY important here, and it gives you the  mobility to achieve better stability.
