ericamccowan said:I am currently training for the FORCE test and am I can do the sandbag lift and the loaded shuttle in half the time required with more weight and higher lifts, however I cannot seem to get my 20-Metre Rushes times down below 51 seconds. My specific issue seems to be not getting up fast enough after slapping the ground.
When I am doing a rush do I have to step on the line then step back when going down, so that my hands are touching the line? Or can I go down and have my hands over the line, as long as my feet touch the line before I went down?
Does anyone have some specific advice on how to train for the rushes? I am already working on my running and my upper body strength but I do not feel this is helping me improve at the rushes.
Not trying to be rude, but are you overweight? I ask because I recently did my FORCE. I am 45, not in great shape, smoke, don't exercise all that regular lately and...I passed with a Bronze giz-mo on that new 'profile' stuff. I did the rushes in 36 seconds or thereabouts.
If you are overweight or have weak/no upper body strength, that could be the struggle on the get down/get up stuff.
