Hey guys.. you can see that his upper back is rounded , but he is PARALLEL to the floor ... is this how perfect front lever should look like ? it seems that when I perform my front lever , I just can't manage to have this C shape at the upper back , I end up like this posture

The 28 second hold with 2 fingers is performed with better form. There are two reasons for this: The first is that the first athlete perform the front lever with his scapula slightly protracted, whereas the second athlete has his scapula in a neutral position. The second reason is the posterior pelvic tilt. The first athlete seems to tilt his posterior pelvic in such a way, an arch in his lower back appears, the second one does the opposite, his lower back is completely flat.

Cisco, the second guy, also has something in his pants assisting his FL.

I actually think that his lower back is flat and he is retracting..

 I saw a topic here people said it is solid front lever .. 

 

JORDAN JOVTCHEV FL looks the same

Jordan Jovtech's FL is different, he also keeps his scapula in a neutral position.
