I Can’t Get it Up

Luckily, I’ve never had this problem.

Other guys aren’t so lucky.

When I switched the way my hockey guys do bird dogs after watching a video that Nick Tumminello put out, I’d say about ½ the guys I train either really struggled or couldn’t lift their leg at all.

Watch the video below to see Nick demo the exercise that leaves most guys saying “I can’t get it up!”
