Old Forum TGU "rest" position??

[TravisS]

I know there isn't a resting position when doing a TGU but for me when I get to the low sweep movement, when my alignment is good(straight line), it almost seems as though I can "relax" in this position.

I still have to maintain some tension but it doesn't seem like that position requires the same amount as when moving to the other positions.

Am I crazy or do others experience the same thing?

Same here, assuming you're talking about having one hand on the ground, in the "windmill" position right before/after the sweep. It does feel like a bit of a rest, especially on the way down.

You're taking some load off the torso, and by putting the hand down, you're dispersing that load through another connection to the ground.

Jason, exactly the position I'm talking about
