The Turkish get up is a pretty fun lift. You lie on your back, hold a weight vertically above you, then stand up, keeping the weight vertical with your arm locked.

My current best is 85 lb. Most of you are a lot stronger than I am. How much can you do?

hold a hamburger over my head and i will do it with a monster truck across my face:D:

i used to do 100lb. for reps when i was lighter haven't done them in a while
the turkish woman sounds more fun though

Do you have to be oiled up for this?
