Shoulders

I think we should do more Turkish get ups. The more I do them the more I notice how much they transfer to all the other overhead skill work we do. A person with a good Turkish get up has a good understanding of how to use shoulder structure to stay under the weight. This same understanding should, in theory, apply to using structure to support the weight in a snatch or jerk.

Therefore, I’ll program more of them and we’ll see if it has the amazing rippling skill effect that I’m hoping for.
