Under grip korean dips and V-to-L hanging leg lifts form check

Also does this belong in this section of the forum? Or the digital coaching section?

Looks good, you could try slowing both movements down a tad to increase smoothness and intensity.

Very nice Korean dips and I like the dismount :-)

Form checks belong to the relevant Foundation/ Handstand forum.

Hope it helps.

I can not say I did not like your videos. But.. to me it looks like you are avoiding slow and steady movement. Because you seem to be using the momentum in the korean dips to get back up again. And.. when I enlarged the video for the V-to-L, I can see arm muscles and lats doing a lot of the work. In the course videos for Manna, moving through MN PE7, PE8 and PE9, the athlete(s) do the movements slower and slower (less momentum), and less lats/arms.

Hope it helps.

 

I appreciate the critique. I'll post a video on my next workout going slower. And I totally didn't realize I was using my lats on the V-to-Ls. I think fixing it won't be too much of a problem. Thank you.

Did undergrip korean dips again today. Focused on slowing down a bit. Looking better?

Better. Well done.

I feel honored. Thank you. 

Quick question for you Coach. After trying Russian Dips for the first time yesterday, I struggled to figure out how it is supposed to correctly "feel". I was able to do it explosively like your student in the video but couldn't land in the upper arm support correctly. I leaned a bit farther back than what was shown in the video. Do you have any tips for this problem?

I'll also post a video of my dips on Wednesday after the workout.
