Max Turkish Get-ups in 10 Minutes

Rules:

The other day I pointed out that if you don't keep workin hard you might end up like the Star Wars Kid... but what I forgot to mention was that if you work hard AND eat well you could...some day... if you're willing to go the extra mile... and really persevere (plus have a few surgeries to clean up your ugly mug) you might be able to look like this...
