adding 5lbs AND the perils of the turkish getup!

first, im doing fridays workout on saturday which means that tomorrow ill do another routine. back to back again. im adding 5lbs today. this will be a real struggle. but we will see.
    ive started messing around with kettlebells. everything i read and see says you must practice to get the moves down. ive been doing ok EXCEPT for this killer move called the turkish getup. you essentially are lying down and then get up. sounds simple. but i just cant do even one yet.! very discouraging. ill just study it more and keep trying. it really makes me feel like a weakling
well, now for today
squat 12x130
calf raise 12x130
benchpress 12x160
arnold press 12x35
seated dumbbell extension 12x35
kickback 12x35
dips 13
pushups 15
military press 3x65
     here i go
sqt done in combo with calf raise. ok. not very deep though. my goal is eventually 150 lbs . then i will cut back by at least 30 lbs
bp not so hot. only just barely partials. position is very important. ill get better. i only have 10 lbs more to go before the major 30lb drop so i can do fuller moves and with form
ap at least i did one full extension. the rest were partials. still, a little improvement. in between movements im reading dave drapers weekly blog.
se ho hum but relatively easy . hard to get a full extension.
kb felt pretty good. always makes me feel like i have tris
d always lets me know i have a right shoulder(going to the va tuesday for my first ever pt) always get a boost from dave draper, who sneaks in philosophy and workout advice at the same time. keeps on keeping on
pu pretty good. wide stance. felt it in pecs, but good form. i think my goal will be 50. not sure yet
mp extreme full extension. very very strict form. also, controlled movement the full movement
ok, im about done. im going to try a couple of attempts at turkish get up. just to see if i can learn the move correctly. im not real confident right now
total time of workout (including rests) about 1 hour
