I'm looking for suggestions for an additional progression to help transition from advanced frog stand to tuck PL. Like many, I've mastered SE2 but am stonewalled trying to get hips to shoulder height in the tuck PL. I've used assistance bands in the past four extended periods and found when I removed the band after several micro cycles of increasing volume there was virtually zero progress in my unassisted tuck PL. Any tips would be appreciated. Yesterday I did two sets of 60 seconds sPL SE2 just to make sure that was solid and also did some PL leans to make sure my hands were in line with my hips. All seemed good there, I'm just wondering if I'm missing something. I was thinking about performing the tuck PL with my knees pressing outward against my inner elbows as a form of assistance, as that seemed harder than the standard adv frog stand where one's knees are resting on the elbows. Good idea, bad idea?
As an aside, I haven't skipped any exercises or mobility elements.
