E 39 TWO PERSON TUKISH GET UP

The Rules of the Turkish get up will apply, except that two lifters will be lifting the weight together, the weights will be loaded onto a regular lifting bar, as a dumbbell or a kettle bell cannot be used in this version of the lift for obvious reasons. Causes for Failure remain the same.

Causes for Failure:
1 Starting to lift before the referees signal.
2 Failure to maintain the arm straight and locked throughout the lift. 3 Any contact of the equipment with the lifting surface during the lift.
4 Failure to achieve the finished position, the implement locked out at arms-length, overhead. 5 Lowering /replacing the bar before the referees signal.
