Personal First!

I DID A TURKISH GET-UP, Y'ALL.

I balanced a paperback book on my hand (thank you Rydra_wong for that suggestion!) and DID A TURKISH GET-UP. Once on the right side, once on the left side.

The left side, erm, needs work. I had to lean on a coffeetable to get all the way up. But the right side, I did the right side ALL ON MY OWN.

Didn't drop the book. Got all the way up and down.

FIRST EVER.

ROCK THE FUCK ON. \o/

Asymmetry seems pretty common; I'm definitely weaker with left-sided TGUs too.
