No. Stopwatches for the 40, jumping up the side of the entrance tunnel of the Super Dome, chalk on your fingers, for the vert. test. Etc.
Analog stop watch?

Both types I'm guessing. ? A large group of scouts etc crowded around the finish line. We were running across the field, sideline towards sideline.Analog stop watch?
Even funnier is that it even more non-sensically applies to kickers.
But they still try to do well on it:
I am sure there are lot's of reasons not to include the Get Up. But I was just puzzled about the complexity part and why learning the TGU would take so much time that you would need to cut back on practicing your sport like you mentioned earlier. The thread has developed beyond that but just to clarify sure what I was struggling with I will throw in my responseDan John had to invent the goblet squat because he couldn't get a group of young athletes (college or high school, I don't remember) to squat properly.
Dan, somewhat recently, has also said he isn't a fan of loaded TGUs for pro athletes.
Remember -- you've only got 2-4 hours a week to do S&C in NCAA.
And you still have to fit in benching, sprints, cone drills, vertical jump, broad jump, shuttle drills, etc.
Plus any non-Combine lifts that are common, such as power cleans.
Out of those 2-4 hours, what are you going to drop each week to fit in the TGU?

true - I lived across the street from Randy Rasmussen when I was a teen, he was the starting OG for the NY Jets from 1968-1981, he was a big guy 6'2", 250 but nothing like the linemen on the field today. I use to stare in amazement when he would shovel his driveway after a snowstorm, I would be out there doing my parents driveway and he would come out and tear through his in no time. It was as if the snow was running away from him as he plowed through that drive. hahaha - funny memories. He had a cool trophy room.Yup....remember when guards were short, stocky and mobile....even NFL guards usually maxed at 245 to 50....now they're all tall as trees and well over 320.....different game today
yes he was #66 - life long Jet/Met fan as well - been a tough road. Hopefully new ownership will turn the Mets - I wish Woody would sell the Jets - ughhh - Happy Thanksgiving!@Keep Lifting , I remember him...lifelong Jet fan here, grew up in north Jersey...he was #66! I believe Dave Herman was the other guard on that super bowl team.
Met fan too......ouch
