I'm getting used to this after going through absolute beginner level, with TUT (time under tension) to get the movement in properly, in order to keep my knees locked throughout the position. I'm still working on keeping my knees locked and I noticed after a few sets, my knees tend to be less bent. Any suggestions?
my only suggestion and probably the hardest one to take it for all the good its worth: only move upto the point where you're ROM is quality. always stay on the right side of that fence.
keeping those legs straight is the only way they'll stay straight 
it'll improve with time doing the PE and with stretching.
Looks like I got some work to do on this one, as I figured. I'll check out the Foundation videos again and do some research throughout the forums to find out how to keep the knees straight through. Looks like it will take some time with this one.
Also keep your chest up, do not fall into chest-in

No worries, your right. I'll be going back to Block 1 on this one, as I did before, quality is the key to all of this.

Grab higher on your support for your iM. Watch the Foundation videos again to match form.
I will be taking a look at the video again in comparison of the iM. At first I was like 'get that stretch in'. But that is not the case.

Yes I did fall a few times, maybe from being tired, maybe not. Again, back to square one, Block 1.
