We're sorry! We were unable to locate the requested page.
I can see it ok.
Your form doesn't look bad to me, but here are a couple of pointers:
- It's important that your feet be able to slide freely. This could easily be accomplished in your situation by wearing socks and putting your feet on the wooden floor rather than the mat. You may well find this significantly more difficult.
- I would advise trying to get into position in a more systematic way, so that you don't have too many cues to focus on at once. So it might be: First assume a pushup position, concentrating on PPT, straight body and straight legs; Then protract and depress your scapulae: Then lean, allowing your feet to slide into the correct position.
- Finally, I think it may be worth paying attention to the rounding in your middle back. My understanding is that some rounding is permissible, and will naturally flatten out as you move on to harder variations. But there is such a thing as too much.
i can see it now too.
what i learn in this elemnt. body must be one unit. lots of parts of your body are relaxing.
Thanks, Kibbokift and strme! These are helpful comments. You see things I wasn't aware of. This is really, really helpful. Thanks!!
Thanks again, guys. What does protract and depress scapulae mean? My best understanding of protracted and depressed scapulae is achieved by pushing the shoulders forward and then engaging lats to pull shoulders towards the stomach. Is this correct?
What is PPT?
