Finish all F1 BEFORE moving on to F2?

Hi All, 

 

I've lurked here for years, and now I need some help. I've searched all over, but haven't found an answer. 

 

TL;DR:

 

Should I finish all Foundation 1 progressions before moving on to Foundation 2? 

 

Long question: 

 

I have done Foundation 1 for about a year now. For the HBP I'm on PE12, but I'm not able to progress beyond this point. The problem is my L-Sit, not my pressing (I can do 5x5 Bulgarian Ring Dips, without a problem). This has pushed me to consider that perhaps I should wait for my Manna progressions to aid the L-Sit. I find that when I perform the Russian Dip in the L-Sit my chest dips and I lose the L-Sit on or around my 4th rep. 

 

Thanks in advance for any help!

I'd say move on when you finish that element. So you could have 1 element in F2 and another in F1. If your problem is the L-Sit then maintaining your strength from The Element below L Russian Dips would be best while waiting for your L-Sit. This way you won't lose any strength and you're just waiting on your L-Sit,

It's pretty normal to have your elements in different levels, just follow the rules and wait until you can show mastery to move to the next exercise. If you're stuck on a element due to some weak links, as stated above, wait until the other progressions aid your problem.

Thank you so much! Just what I was imagining.

 

I like the idea of sitting one element below to maintain strength instead of languishing at the one I can't complete. 

 

I appreciate your help!
