SFG Team Leader Joe Sansalone goes over a couple points with his Team of SFG instructor candidates concerning wrist and shoulder positioning and alignment during the get-up.

Technique standard:
1. Use both hands to lift the kettlebell off the ground to the starting position of the floor press and to return it to the ground.
2. The wrist on the kettlebell side is neutral.
3. The elbow on the kettlebell side is locked and the shoulder is packed.
4. The shoulder of the free arm does not shrug up.
5. The heel of the foot on the kettlebell side stays planted during the low sweep, the lunge up to standing, and the reverse of these actions.
6. The knee touches the deck silently on the descent into the half-kneeling position.
7. The arm holding the kettlebell is vertical or almost vertical.
8. The neck is neutral for the top half of the movement, from the lunge up.
9. In the top position the knees are locked and the lower back does not hyperextend.
It is recommended, although not tested, that the movement is smooth, without jerky transitions.
