Row 500m and Turkish Get-Ups

Complete as many rounds as you can in twenty minutes of:
Row 500 meters
25 Turkish Get-ups with a 60-pound dumbbell

No Rower. Subbed SDLHP with a 45# bar, 50 reps

Otherwise as Rx’d: 1 Round + 50 SDLHP + 16 TGUs.

Not sure what the expectation was for this as far as rounds number of rounds go, but it made me feel like a sissy. I alternated hands each rep and finished the last 9 TGUs of the second round after time was up.

This one was almost more mentally taxing than it was physical. I realized from the first rep after the SDLHPs that I was not going to be able to flip over to auto pilot and plow through this. I really had to concentrate on my technique…especially when fatigue started to set in. Had a couple missed reps I had to repeat, but overall I was pretty surprised. I have not done a TGU since June.
