80/80 Sandbag Getups
Grab an 80lb sandbag (Larry Storch) and do 80 sandbag getups (Turkish getups with the bag on your shoulder) for time.
Total time: 20:45. For some reason I thought I’d finish this in around 12 minutes. After I finished the first 20 in around 4 min, I knew I was way off. This was rough and really put my form under the microscope. Apparently I was shooting my foot back to stand up in an awkward way and it really started to bug me at the half-way point. I made a slight correction and felt better for the remainder of the reps. Still, I may need to jao up the tops of my feet.
Update: this gave a huge bruise on each elbow. I’ve done so much sam sing for kung fu that my forearms don’t bruise any more, but I guess that doesn’t apply to the elbows.
