I really like the way Mike actually takes the time to narrate each movement. Perfect teaching techniques.

3:00 Windshield Wiper 4:45 Unnamed variation

[@lilianitagiba2406]

Love this guy's mobility, very well explained 👌

[@queeniequeen54]

I'm with Justin on this - this is innovative intelligent training , Mike is a unit - did you see his GD legs?! -KB training may be different to your regular bro stuff but it commands respect.

[@anthonycraig274]

I only know of the 3rd. Will try the other two.

[@davidf4163]

I'm just starting to get into kettlebell training so would be the first to admit I don't know much yet, but the variations look great to me !

[@deadpooltyinterwebs7233]

As a NAGA and IBJJF champion at multiple belts both Gi and NoGi I can stamp this vid with approval. Kettlebell training is a game changer. The Get Up plus just Swings are enough alone to take your fight game (strength game) to the next level assuming you have SOLID technique. That's the deal with the Bells. Gotta do it right or THEY. WILL. FUCK. YOU. UP. Many different movements you can do with the Bells and the execution I've seen in this video is outstanding so get to it =)

[@andyablett1466]

Do you recommend any other exercises with the kettlebell which translate well into BJJ? Also what programme do you use?

[@ryanwilliams9984]

@@andyablett1466 Old comment, but for anyone else: clean and press and all the exercises on its continuum (push press, push jerk), bridge floor press, goblet and double kb front squat, snatch if you have the technique and mobility are just a few exercises to name. I have trained with kettlebells since I started bjj several years ago and anytime I made progress in these core exercises my training partners would ask what I was doing off the mat and whether I've been lifting.

[@LvlUp.]

I realy Like the different getup variations

[@3QuaNiMiTyy]

I see two interesting deviations from the StrongFirst instruction on how to TGU. The first is that Mike's straight leg (being the left in the first demo) is not as straight, it's considered more externally rotated outwards or abducted/adducted or something. Not sure whether that matters. The second is that on the lowering phase of the movement, once he reaches the post of his elbow, he slides along his forearm 45 degrees above his head lowering onto his left rear ribs, then delt, then full back. This is very clever and is not featured in the SFG demo.

[@ameliacarter7656]

Wow! Outstanding!! I’ll work on that for my functional day as it will take days to make mind muscle connection to perform this properly. Will do without weights til I get it down well enough so not to compromise mind muscle coordination!

[@boshjrolin1517]

HELL YEAH!! This is exactly how we get up in Turkey when we fall, also there is an historical background of this style of getting up. One day a guy called Temel, (a north anatolian guy from city Trabzon) steps wrong on a rock and he loses his balance and then falls. When he tries to get up with an orthodox way, he unintentially archs his back and a guy called Dursun (also an another north anatolian guy from Trabzon) jumps on him and nails him in the ass, but in the meantime other people see that and they decides to develop an unorthodox way to get up from ground and this style of getting up was found and also become perfected in time and this final style develops as you see in the video. From that day this way of getting up becomes the traditional way in Turkey.

[@chrisrobson2203]

and... subscribed! Thanks for the video!

[@RichardLibby]

I learned the first one from a fitness trainer. Now I will try out the other two, which I have never seen before!

[@remedytraining]

You guys need to check yourselves lol!!! Mike is a CHAMPION & MASTER OF KETTLE BELL SPORT!! Pretty sure none of your opinions about turkish get ups hold weight in the real world. This cracks me up

[@RW-td2hz]

great HD video, thanks for the explanation, just started doing this, loving them

[@MindPumpTV]

We try our best.

[@bhiei]

Been trying these variations the last couple weeks, very tough! I can only use a 30

[@jakobw135]

HOW do you go from ON-YOUR-BACK to your CHEST off the floor without lifting your legs? Do you TUCK your chin so your head moves together with your chest?

[@44556613able]

This guy is strong as a bull...does not look it....amazing core strength

Cool

Wow

[@freepluralism6652]

A bit of a off topic question. But where can i get those shoes? :D

[@qcfitness930]

This guy is on point. If you don't like this you don't know fitness.

[@Sam-vk8xd]

Going to your channel first liked video I see is that of a woman with a massive booty. You, my good gentleman, are a classy fitness man.

[@jammymiliitante485]

What shoes are those Mike? They're nice 👍

[@christopherarmstrong2710]

Look up Vivobarefoot

[@HumphreyChou96]

I really want to do the Windshield Wiper and Combat Base variations for BJJ strength & conditioning, but my pointy tailbone gets in the way of sitting up (after the roll-to-press);.it's painful and blocks the movement. How can I adapt the Windshield Wiper and Combat Base getups to avoid rolling over my tailbone?

[@eamonob84]

You can always sit up with the regular get up version, then switch how you stand up to one of those other two.

[@HumphreyChou96]

@@eamonob84 that makes sense, thank you.

[@Emanuel_carey]

Came for the Turkish get up, stayed because they started tying it to jiujitsu

[@travisbrown2190]

How heavy was that kettlebell? Impressive

[@Sam-vk8xd]

Kettlebells are color coded by weight. If you look at the insertions of the handle to the ball they are blue. Blue is about 11kg (26 lbs.)

[@arthvader3489]

the dude doing the exercise is all package ;)

[@marshabner7731]

Everybody get up! Jump Criss cross Get up

[@boomchicaboomboom]

2:59 4:44

[@shawnmount2685]

Only thing missing (for beginners) is, is this done reps/ sets each side or time and I guess a second would be a "beginners" weight to focus on proper movement/ form? I'm 53, want to have better body mobility/ coordination. TY

[@brandondiaz9576]

The last exercise is very hard

[@jettrink918]

The noise at 3:19

[@DrTontongon]

What kind of shoes are those?

[@satelliteinc.6767]

vivo barefoot running shoes

[@julieburton3294]

Thanks for this guys I've just added kettlebells to my fitness regime so was interesting to watch as I've only recently discovered the Turkish getup, I think I will stick to the first one you did for now til my fitness improves. Could I please ask you a quick question, I'm 4"10 and weigh 7 stone 12 pounds, I've lost 2 stone 2 pounds through healthy eating and exercise and want to get down to 7 stone. Now I've been told I should use a 8kg bell but I find that way too heavy and have got myself a 4 instead, is that too low? and is an 8 too high? I don't want to do myself an injury but i at the same time want to get my fitness way up there as soon as I can. Thank-you, x

[@FIREBRAND38]

If you don't mind input from some rando on YT, I think you should always listen to your body when it comes to Get Ups and KB weight. You answered your own question when you said 8 is too high. I'm 6'4" at 200+ lbs and I first got the technique down balancing a running shoe on my outstretched palm.

[@aaronszekely5142]

1:20 the Turkish get up

[@grommash5092]

The second one can use 2 kettlebells

[@ChamorruWarrior]

My biggest problem is this isn’t even an “exercise” to me it’s just literally how long can I deal with how bad the kettle bell hurts against my forearm.

[@MindPumpTV]

ChamorruWarrior they actually sell KB forearm guards if you can believe that.

[@Theroadneverending]

You just don’t know what you are doing if it’s hurting your forearm lol

[@dp1569]

You're holding the kettle bell wrong.

[@DreeShLynn]

This guy has beautiful legs.

[@RingJando]

This appears to create a potential injury to the rotator cuff. Please elaborate on potential injury - great break-down, but concerned. Thanks!

1st one was done wrong
