Got this email from Geoff over at Kettlebell Secrets today, and thought you’d be helped by it so I’m passing it on.
Hey Roy,
Normally, I leave you alone on Wednesdays.
But, after a session with a couple I trained
last night, I just had to pass this on.Do you know what the “Sandal Test” is?
It’s a test we use on the Get Up to see how
linked or connected your body is.It’s a great way to determine how much
weight you can handle and whether or not
you are ready to add weight to your Get
Up.Here’s how you take the test:
Place a sandal, or flip-flop on your fist and
perform your Get Up.Sound easy?
Try it.
It’s not.
It’s a great diagnostic tool to show you
where you’re leaking tension during the
exercise.If you pass this and think it’s too easy, then
up the ante – use a bottle of water, about a
quarter full.When you can do this on both sides, you’re
ready to add weight or increase your weight.Train Smart,
Geoff
