I'm currently working on S and S, and have been doing TGU's for a few years. Twice over the past few months I've mildly sprained my right knee during a TGU. The sprain seems to always initiate with the windshield wiper (although I tend to feel it the most on the descent from the standing lunge). When I say mildly, I can complete the workout with body weight get-ups, but can't do them loaded without that nasty pulling sensation.
I'm considering trying a variation of the TGU that I've seen on video that omits the windshield wiper and instead adds a step-around at that point of the TGU. What I'm wondering about is if the step-around is as stable of a transition as the windshield wiper? Put another way, has anyone tried this and found any loss of structure or stability during that step-around movement?
Thanks for any help you can offer!
