Form check after going back to PE1 due to update. Felt like I could have done 5x10r but thought I'd post a form check before progressing onto 5x10r.
Feedback welcome.

SL/PE4 - Arch up 5x6r

other than not being able to go down all the way, looks good to me, and good makeshift rig lol. There's room for a little more arch and ROM at the top, but passing is horizontal I believe so you are definitely good there.

Cheers, I was looking at PE5 and the ROM is definitely more than I'm showing so I'll try and go higher as I approach 5x10r.
Engaging in ppt with squeezed glutes and thinking about pulling forward will put your lower back in a much more safer position. I tend to feel it a lot in my lower back at top position and following the above cues help. But maybe you're a beast, and you don't need this tip.

I squeeze my glutes at the top position but I'll give it a go squeezing throughout the whole movement. I don't feel it a lot in my lower back but that might be because before the update I was doing 5x15r.
lol going to need some info on that setup.
is it just a strap looped around the couch?
Haha! Thats the way I had my set up as well. My wife was not impressed

It's my old karate belt anchored onto the pull-out bed in the couch.

My GF has made it categorically clear that I'll be replacing the sofa by myself should I break it.
One thing: try to engage the glutes very hard. This will stop hyperextension which can damage your back if done really repetitively (correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not sure).
