The Get Up - Develop Super Strong Shoulder and Lats

It’s no secret that Get Ups can build insanely solid strong shoulders and lats. Adding an overhead squat is just a bonus. I know Get Ups can look intimidating to the newbies out there. This is why I only teach a portion of the Get Up to my new students and without any load. The Get Up also helps open up your hips and does strengthen the entire body. It teaches focus and awareness.
