But this water-wielding challenge from <a href="https://www.instagram.com/omar.bolden/" id="ab6f1306-4fe9-30f7-abbd-e01f745a0feb"> Omar Bolden </a> , former Broncos safety and Super Bowl 50 champ, kicks up the challenge to all of those factors up to another level entirely.

The goal is to complete a bottoms-up Turkish getup with a half-filled cup of water balanced on the bottom of the kettlebell without the water spilling or the cup falling over. For the record, unless you have an anything-goes gym space, we recommend trying this at home with a paper or plastic cup and plenty of towels for clean up duty. You dont want to risk sloshing water all over your gyms floor or breaking a glass.

Make sure to shoot a video of your attempts and share via social. Tag Bolden and @menshealthmag and use hashtag #TurkishCupUpChallenge.
