CrossFit in Galveston! Strength WOD Turkish Get Ups 3 x 3 The TGU is one of the near perfect, whole body exercises that creates a tremendous WTH (what the hell) effect. Yes, it will build terrific strength, most specifically in one of the weakest parts of the human body… the shoulder. Shoulders have very little there to protect its joints, hence so many with serious injury. It is a very vulnerable spot. And… since you can do very little without a healthy shoulder, a very vital component to any strength training. Over-simplifying, the TGU takes your shoulder through a complete range of motion, without moving it. Done properly, you “pack” or lock it into its strongest position. You then take your body through a range of motion that requires all the muscles (small stabilizers included) to keep that shoulder in its safest and “strongest” position. You get to work vulnerable and inherently weak muscles without putting the joint at risk.
