My friend doesn't want to listen to me about going back to tuck planche, he wants someone professional to tell him what to do... So critique everything, from arms to toes.
straddle planche form check

Sorry for saying this but eventually his wrists, elbows, shoulders will eventually tell him to stop. It is also up to him whether he listens to his body or not.
I'm no professional or even remotely one but I've read other people nitpicking form posts 
.
Well for starters, it's not like he is holding it really also he looked like he was about to die in the first video.
His arms looked to be not locked to me and it seemed to me that he lost form when transitioning from the tuck planche to the straddle (protraction and lower back arch). His hips seemed a tad too high as well in the beginning.
I think his tuck planche is probably much better which would be a good reason to build volume on it. This is probably the best argument as often what you need to train is not necessarily the peak of what you can do (which seems to be the case here).
Thanks for the critique. Now he is going to train only in tuck position and try to hold it for 60secs before moving on. I will post his tuck planche form in a few days, i think he's not doing it right.
Here is a update from my friend, it looks a little bit better, what do you think http://tinypic.com/player.php?v=2mn3ymb%3E&s=8#.U7syTfmSypA ?

His form is better here, but his arms are still bent so it is not a legit planche. Does he just want a bent arm planche?
good form and i can see that his arms are straight

They are not completely straight as they should be. At least educate yourself before you attack someone so rude.
Thanks for the replies. I told him to rotate his elbow and push harder with his arms, his arms look much better when he does that, but his legs drop. It means he is now doing it right, and his shoulders are not strong enough to support him, that's why he bends his arms just a little bit to compensate weaknesess.
It took me a while before I could see the bend in the arm. Good Catch!
Especially while he is learning. Tell him to keep his head neutral by looking at the ground instead of out in front of him. Pointing his feet is important for overall balance.

That is a good idea. He thinks too much about his legs and hips position. He is thankfull for critiques.
