The first part of the Turkish Get Up also provides a good challenge to work on locking the shoulder into a stable position and preventing anterior glide of the humerus. When this anterior glide occurs, tendonitis, labrum tears, and impingement issues of the shoulder are much more likely. . Keys for performing this drill properly: . 🔑 Lock the elbow into 90 degrees of flexion. . 🔑 Grip as hard as possible (this helps stabilize the shoulder further). . 🔑 As your press through your bent leg’s foot, keep the core locked in to prevent rounding of the spine as you come up into the posted position. . 🔑 Keep the elbow, shoulder, and upper back in line as much as possible during both the concentric and eccentric phase. . 🔑 On the eccentric phase, move very slow. Your goal should be for both shoulder blades to lay softly on the ground at the same time! . ❗If you have issues getting up from the ground, work the eccentric portion only❗
