now i'm trying to make it push an object, or use a chair as leverage to get up. Now to do so, the body moves, but the hands remain in relatively same place.

The body is moved through a root around the waist. Lifting the body, move the hands. How do i lock the hands in place/temporarily disable the influence of the root so i can perfrom this movement.

Thank you,

steve
