That's pretty interesting. Roll to Elbow and Lunge to Standing seem to be the more challenging parts.
The inital roll to elbow used to be more difficult for me, but a couple of months back I injured my left thumb and used the time it took to heal it and focused on the roll to elbow. I just did them unweighted 1x3 or 2x3, a couple of times per day. This really helped.
Maybe I should do the same with the lunge position: Really groove and explore the difficult move, maybe with a really light weight.
Now that I think of it, it's already part of S+S -- in one of that more overlooked parts:

S+S said:As an option, you may follow these [warmup moves] with a couple of sets of get-ups with exaggerated slowness and precision with a shoe or a light kettlebell. Groove the movement. Instead of doing full get-ups, you may select a particular phase, say supine to elbow, and polish it. Take the movement apart and put it back together. This is not a warm-up, but a practice.
