Straight Arm Frog Stand Form Check

[Jesus Rojas]

Hi guys ! Please critique my form on the Straight Arm Frog Stand. Thanks

Try to keep the weight on your hands more than your knees; you can see your elbows struggling a little. Making the hold feel more like a  tuck planche with some extra assistance will correct this-- keep your hips down and lean/protract hard. Done right it should not be too much less intense than a tuck pl on the back and shoulders-- it's just very easy to cheat by lessening the lean and dropping the weight back

 

If you struggle with this correction, build up some more time with frogstands, planks and pl leans first.

Most people do to start makes a big difference.

I think because it's easy to cheat, that's the reason some people think it's a useless progression. It's really not, but you have to be self-policing
