Something New

Today I tried a new exercise, the barbell Turkish get up. It's the same as a regular Turkish get up, accept instead of using a kettlebell or a dumbell, you use a barbell. The weight is challenging, but it's really about balance. It's really easy to lose it if the barbell starts tipping in either direction. I managed to get up to 75 lbs with my right arm. After that we did a fairly short WOD: 21-15-9 barbell lunges(95lbs) and push press (115lbs). My shoulders were completely done after this workout. I was planning on doing some strict press to gain more shoulder strength, but today's workout was definitely tough enough on the shoulders. Rest day tomorrow, then back at it on Friday!
