I have a question about the roll-to-elbow phase of the get-up:
When I roll onto my elbow, should I lock the bottom shoulder so it is rigid, or is it okay for the bottom shoulder to flex a little so the upper shoulder comes off the ground a little before the bottom one? The former hurts my left trapezius when I try to roll onto the left elbow, but the latter feels a lot better to me.
