Old Forum Get Ups before Swings

[jpk]

Is there a particular reason this couldn't be done?

I am not sure but Pavel always has his reasons and I feel that maybe he wants you to finish your swings very solid. Catch your breath and then go at the Get Ups almost as a cool down. Remember you are not killing yourself with S&S.

Here's a related thread. Mark Toomey answers:

Is this right?

The only thing I would add is that I often warm up and "facilitate" with swings before any session.

The thread Matt links to should be read before going further in this one.

As a general guideline, were you to have a single workout that included explosive/power lifting, strength training, and cardio, you would do them in that order.  What's changed in S&S, to put it simply, is that it used to be getups for strength and swings for cardio, and now it's swings for maximum explosive power and getups for strength.

As to _why_ the order is power then strength then cardio, that's been answered by people far more knowledgeable and experienced than me.  I'm sure that, among other places, Supertraining covers it.

Hope that helps.
