I'm re-visiting the get up. Trying to zone in on all the details of the movement and constantly smoothing things out, or at least that's the aim!! And I've noticed a small (actually quite big) detail that has made a big impact on the quality of the movement and wanted to know if others have noticed the same.....the final roll to end the movement.
I've always paid attention to the set up and all the component parts but have ended the movement with more of a turn and thud, as if the move is over when the press is lowered. It's really odd that the last move can clean up the preceding moves but it does.....it makes the whole thing more complete, so the next rep is smoother. Much like the importance of the set up providing a platform for what follows, the finish, it seems to me now, is of equal importance. Dunno why I've only just noticed after 100s of get ups, but there you go.....always something to improve upon......
