I enjoy turkish get ups as a warm up but they expose my right hand dominance in a really bad way. Oh well.
I did 1 pood for my first set of 3 (both arms), 1.5 pood for my next two sets, then did the 2 pood orange KB for my set of 2 for my right hand (kept at 1.5 for left hand, too unstable).. I was able to do 75 lbs on a barbell with my RH for my 1 rep which was nice.. Most I have ever tried with a 1 rep TGU.. I bet I could have gotten more.. Not sure how much..

I like this workout. Just when you reach the point of total exhaustion on one body part, you move onto the next body part to totally annihilate. My one fear going in was ripping my hands on the pull ups, but I was able to avoid that by doing lower rep sets than I am capable for the beginning.. Rather than start with like 25 pull ups and then be toast I decided I would try to do 1 set of 12 then 8 sets of 11 and keep it nice and even across all sets.. This worked fine up until about 55 but then the rest of the way in to 100 I had to do 5 rep sets, grip got too tired. This took the longest of everything, probably 7-8 minutes easily.
Push ups I got right into them and knocked out 25, then 15, then 10 and sat back and was like "Ok, I am half way, good job, just keep doing 10s".. But this did not work out too well.. My shoulders got super tired by 70 and I had to do sets of 5 and then 3 to close it out.. push up failure is a really annoying feeling, because 1 rep is always easy, 5 reps is always SO hard when you are gassed..
Sit ups were slow and shitty but I got through them. Squats were funny. I got through the first 50 really fast, then the second 50 I had to just shut my eyes and keep doing sets of 10 as quick as I could. But HOLY GOD were my legs smoked after that. Like I could barely walk. It was great.
