Analyzing the MN/PE2-PE3

So in a pike you try to be as much of an "u" and as flat as possible and using both hamstring and back flexibility, right?

 

In PE3 which I suppose (maybe wrong)  is a non straddle version of PE2 it is said to:

-Keep back flat and the chest high.

-Pike as much as possible.

 

In my eyes the athletes back is not flat but rather curved if I don't misunderstand the word flat in this context.

 

The focus points for PE2 are a bit different.

Can someone clarify what "chest not caving in" means?

 

To my eyes the athlete has a similar amount of curve in his back in both PE2 and PE3.

 

Should the PE:s be mostly hip or is it a combination of hip and abs?
