Oscar Wilde once said, “There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.” On the one hand, I am grateful to once again have use of a kettlebell that fits into my Goldilocks zone for the full TGU. On the other hand, the TGU can be so demanding. Small, subtle differences in body positioning and movement can make a big difference between a get up that goes well and a get up that is more of a struggle. To be aware of these small, subtle differences is important, and it’s like a form of meditation that can hurt you if your attention wavers. I did the right arm get ups today, feeling strong in my first 4 sets, then cut my last recovery period short in order to get done more quickly, and the performance of the 5th rep suffered. The TGU is not a time for impatience. I think the TGU is my primary meditation practice.
