With a 9 kg Dumbell, 21-15- and 9 reps for time of:
Turkish Get-ups, alternating arms
Sotts press
My time: 20.53 min
I wasn’t sure if with the Turkish get-ups I had to do 21 reps for both arms, I just did 21 reps combined.
I hardly took breaks, and yet it took me pretty long to complete.
For the Sott pres i also used a dumbbell, because i cannot move my right arm that far back.
Started off today’s workout at puppy version, but after 1 full round, the twinging in my right knee made me decide to stop. Everytime I did the get ups on the right side, the inside edge of my knee cap/ muscle sent a really uncomfortable zap through my knee. This is a formally bad knee, so I thought it best not to continue, although in hindsight I guess I could have tried removing the weight I was using (15lb PVC barbell)
Instead I switched over to the workout the other day that I missed:
Puppy version: 15,12,9,6,3
SDHP/ Push Presses with 20lb barbell
4:18
Ended the workout trying some tart cherry juice. Has anyone tried drinking this quick after a workout to alleviate soreness the next day?

It was a humbling expereince
The most difficult part of the excercise was doing them with good form.
After some trials before the workout. I decided to go for form not for time.
With the Turkish Tet-up I had problems with pointing all the time to the
ceiling with the arm with the barbell. (stiff shoulder)
With the Sotts press I had problems with pushing the barbell straight up.
I was pushing the barbell more or less in the same direction as my upper
body, which I could not get straight enough.
This also has to do with stiffness of the upper body and the shoulders
This workout realy let me know where to work on the next months.
