Form check (Frog stand & inverted hang)

Hi,

I'm pretty new to this GymnasticsWorld (My first post ever, yay!), and therefore I would really appriciate if someone could give me some feedback. The videos posted below, is my first time ever attempt on doing Single bar inverted hang (FL/PE13) and Frog stand (PL/SE1).

Sure there is a lot of things I can improve on (especially inverted hang, doesnt look too good). However, do you guys have anything I should focus on, or should I just give it some time and develop more strenght?

Thanks in advance! 

In my opinion you need to take a step back, in the inverted hang you're piked, so I think it's counter productive to work on it with that form. In the Frog stand you're leaning downwards instead of forward.

Thanks .... I'll be taking a step back on the FL and will try working on leaning forward instead of downwards on the frogstand :-)

I like to enter the inverted hang by lifting the toes to the bar with straight legs, the extending the legs upwards into a hollow body hold, just like you would do in the next progression. Straight arms at all times!

Don't take this the wrong way, but I think it wold be good to show us some of your earlier progressions on both these elements.

ofc. I'm not seeing your post as a personal attack and take it the wrong way. Totally fair question - However, as mentioned in post #1 I'm new to this world and therefore still "searching for my groundbase" and where to start... Therefore, i don't really have any vids of earlier progressions. If I should take a couple of steps back I will ofc. be willing to do so

I took a couple of videos from todays traning, where i took a step back on the FL and tried leaning more forward on my frog stand. Hopfully it's a bit better this time:

Once again, thanks to you all for taking your time to comment on my videos

TobiasM, if I'm understanding you correctly, you just decided to start on these elements? If so that's not the right approach, it's important to start from Foundations 1 PE1 and build from there.

That's precisely why I asked to see earlier elements, because it looks like there is a missing link in the fundamentals.

Yes, that is correct. But alright - I'll take a giant step back and start on PE1 :-)

Giant steps back tend to turn into giant steps forward in the long run, in my experience.
