Comments - Less pain generally that yesterday. Started off with full get ups and then switched to half get ups for the last minute or so. Right shoulder started to niggle a bit but nothing too bad.

Martin - my knees do get sore from time to time skipping and it is more than likely the introduction of it which caused the bother yesterday. The skipping will take a back seat more and more as I increase the swings. Although I'm a pretty efficient skipper it is probably a little bit too much for me as active recovery - especially after 30+ swings.

Great stuff on the get-ups. Before long you will be ready to move up in weight. I have not mentioned this on my blog, but I firmly believe that a steady diet of TGUs has really tightened up my hypermobile left shoulder. I can tell during my mobility work that it is much more solid than it was when I first got SJ.

Agreed .. great work on the TGUs and 1/2 getups. And yes Martin I too have to get back to weekly dose of TGUs even if it means putting on knee pads to do them (which are usually a bit sore after Oly training).

As a side note, one of the lifters at the club has a Level 4 Z-Health certification and competes in strongman events. He has really helped me tweak my Z for better Oly performance.
