Sorry everyone, kind of related to an earlier question but thought I'd rename it. So many questions!
S&S prescribes get ups with a low sweep. Is there a specific reason for this? I re-read S&S again on the get up section as I struggled with it today. I've been doing them Kalos Sthenos style with a high hip bridge. I don't have a problem with a high hip bridge, for me it was getting a heavier bell up into the arm post position. So is a low sweep prescribed because not everyone perhaps will have the mobility to do a high bridge? - and therefore is an easier ride in general as it is a less demanding movement. And as a high hip bridge is more demanding - complex even - a low sweep is preferred to keep it simple, the ethos of the program. This transition is mentioned in Gray Cook's KBs from the Ground Up and 3 progressions are offered at this stage of the get up, a low sweep being the second and a high hip being the more challenging third. Does it really matter what style is used in S&S?
thanks again, that'll be my last question for a while, promise.
cheers
Alistair
