And see if you can hold that even for just 30 seconds.

And it's difficult.

You'll feel a lot of shaking.

You'll feel a lot of sagging of that bottom hip because you're asking your glute medius on that underside leg to hold you up into that position.

So the beauty about that series of tests, though, is that they're all trainable.

Huberman Lab

So if it's trainable, it's fixable.

you can improve as you have, right?

And if you do poorly on it, you can look a little deeper, investigate a little deeper through additional tests to try to find out exactly where your weakness is.
