Of course. Most of it boils down to the rotational capacity of your hips/pelvis. You need a combination of both internal and external rotation in order to express a full range of motion under load. The alternating shinbox mobility drill is a good one to practice along with several others. Let me know if this helps 👍
A couple of videos on the Sit-to-Stand Longevity Test came up on my feed. It's interesting to cross your legs while squatting down and reversing that to get up. Interestingly enough, I need to work on it since doing a get down and get up that way is hard for me LOL
Mark, this reminds me, you were supposed to make a whole series on the various types/kinds of get ups (unweighted/weighted). This was a couple of years back... Any progress on that?
Interestingly enough, both before and after a PRP injection, though it was better after that subsequent PT suggestions, I experienced hip pain. I've been doing basic beginner kettlebell and heavy club exercises for something like a year, and I rarely feel any hip pain. I can't really remember when I last did.
Also see Mark's video Heavy Club 31 - Balance Alternating Shin Box. Been doing this for about 6 weeks and big improvements in hip mobility/flexibilty and reduced knee pain. Do these on a regular basis and stick with it, you will be glad you did.
I have arthritic knees (old git of 64)… which means I can’t get my heels close enough to my butt to be able to do the final stand up (pivot point too far in front of me to stand without using my hands). Just on my second full round of the 2HC program. Hoping this will gradually improve with the 2HC and a separate flexibility program also. Any suggestions for improvement would be welcome.
Would it work to program this (and the flat pack pullover) for two days a week with one day using a kettlebell (heavy day) and one day using a club (light day)?
