sPL/PE5 planche lean form check

Hi all!

Un update of my planche lean.

Here's a video.

Two questions:

1. At least in the beginning , what about my form? I tried to activate my lats in order to keep scapula depression, then I protract and finally I lean forward. Do you think both scapula depression and protraction is sufficient?

1. I know that at some point my back gradually straightens. I noticed that my butt raises, so I get my hips a bit too much piked. I guess this is because of fatigue accumulated. How much seconds do you think I keep proper form, taking the chronometer as reference?

Any suggestion to strenghten my lean would be appreciated!

Thank you!!

Good amount of lean, nice protraction and depression. To me you look straight the entire set. 

Your position definitely changes throughout the set, I'd say you'd still qualify for mastery until the 17-18s mark, but maybe that's a bit severe, I don't know for sure. 

Are your legs fully extended?

Actually that's a point I didn't take care too much. My intention is to keep them extended, but now I have some doubt as I look at the video. I'll check out this point!

I tried to make a comparison between initial and final form of my planche lean posted in the video.

Here's a pic!

Yes, your but is a little bit a higher and you lose some protraction and also your lats looks less engage.

In this pic I try to show better what I'm talking about in the second point I focus on.

My friend said me to avoid the form shown below! If I maintain upper form it could be a good sign that I am not losing protraction. Previously I was thinking only about rounding of my back to check if my protraction was good... What do you think?

You definitely need a bit more protraction. Take a picture of your maximal protraction while standing up without weight and try mimic that in the lean.

Hi All!

Here's an update of my planche lean.

I've been trying to fix my form, first of all to fully extend my legs!

How do you find it?

Thank you!

To me it looks solid !

looks much better to me
