So I've been working on this progression since buying Foundation 1 in August. I feel confidently about my scapular pushups, though let me know if I for any reason shouldn't (and though my shirt hangs I am engaging for PPT). As for the swivel hips, it seems to depend on the day as to whether my knees go lower than they do in the below videos or not.
sPL/PE1: The most noticeable mistake here, is that you're bending your elbows, you should be able to reach full protraction and depression without bending at the elbow. At the other hand due to the angle I'm not able to see if you're reaching full protraction, do the motion a little bit slower.
iM: Do the movement slower and eventually try to get those knees lower.
Your scapula is sticking out on top of exercise.
Scapula position in spl exercises is very important so i would suggest that in future you film your spl workouts without shirt so people can see in detail where is erorr if there is some. 
So. Locked elbows, slower and more internal rotation of the knees, all while shirtless. The first two I can handle. May have to videotape this at home. Not sure on the whole "shirtless" policy of my gym, lol. Also, I wasn't aware that scapulae position mattered that much since the entire progression focuses on protraction and contraction of the scapula I would have thought that they would poke out some.
The "bad" poking out is at the top of the movement. You still need to hollow, a bit more.
It looks like you are doing this as a scap only exercise, it involves the full body. So stay tight, and push up a little more at the top.
Yeah, I didn't figure I was at mastery, because of the -im. I just wanted to see where I was with the movement. Thanks
