I finally got around to trying the Bent Press and it is every bit as difficult as I imagined. There is a tremendous amount of hip, thoracic and shoulder mobility required to move away from a stationary weight. Depending on how heavy it is, the amount of core strength goes up dramatically.
By contrast the Turkish Get Ups seems much, much easier, but the records are about the same. Certainly more athletes have set Turkish Get Up records, than have set Bent Press records.
After a few token attempts and lots of stretching, I got some token reps in a 12 pounds and crossed another lift off of my list.
