Have been working on this for a while, made a lot of progress  but still way too much lumbar i believe. How to address this? I sometimes work with more elevation but it does not feel quite right either..

It's not as bad as you seem to think.

 

A few directions for you to work.

 

- Hand spacing: Hands can be closer together, first step is to get them shoulder width apart.

- Shoulder position: Since your legs are maximally extended (nice!) the only way to get more flexion is to walk the hands out a little less. In other words, hands closer to the stall bars.

- Lower rib position: To create more arch in the T spine, try to move your lower ribs (which are now the highest part of the ribs since  you are upside down) closer to the stall bars.

 

So there winds up being a dual action of shoulders move away from wall bars, ribs towards to create ben in the T-spine.

that's a lot to think about while upside down! Thanks Cole, wasn't really sure where I should be taking it from here, those are great cues to work while in position.
