This is one thing I've always been able to do, so i'm rocking that 10.

Easy 10 out of 10

Eternal life is mine

Technically a 10, but not a very smooth one. Arguably 9.5 from the lack of control going down.

This for me too. Sitting down is easy, but getting up without leaning is tough.

10/10, excellent

Super easy 10

Even with non-crossed feet, or arms behind my back... but not both non-crosses feet and arms behind back, that's a challenge
---

nice! looks like you're probably not going to die of heart failure in the next five years!

seems like the key is to basically just turn it into a one-legged squat. the people that try to stay on both feet the entire time flop when they really shouldn't
---

this is so fucking dumb
---

I can't imagine someone without arthritis having trouble with this.
---

0 because I'm not doing this shit.
---

It's just an indicator as well, nothing concrete
---

Bump for quality stripey topic
---

I lost my balance just from crossing my legs, so I'm probably going to die today
---

9. Had to use a hand getting up

As expected, I'm practically near death anyways
---

I do this all the time

I did not know it was "a thing"
---

I'm so frustrated because I can't find a video to demonstrate, but I was reading about a flexibility test in which you hold a short glass of water, and twist your arm to raise and lower it, yet don't spill it. I can definitely do that, but I couldn't get all the way down to the floor on this one.

this is --------

either a 7 or 9.5 depending on if i have to leave my legs crossed while standing up. cause i can't really do that, need a hand and i lose balance a bit. but if i uncross them it's easy.

i've always had trouble just sitting cross legged, even when i was 5 years old. but i can sit with my knees touching in a T shape. so i guess my body is just built differently somehow.

This is really really easy. 10/10 I'd say.

I'll get my fiancée to try it since she has Psoriatic Arthritis.
