This is my first time trying planche leans. Could some1 give me critique on the form? I know it's nowhere near perfect.

Thanks in advance!

Tobias, please don't take this the wrong way, but I think planche leans are beyond your current abilities.  Your arms are a little bent, shoulders are retracted and elevated instead of fully protracted and depressed, core is sagging, hips are piked, and the degree of lean is inadequate.  I would start with PE1 (scap shrugs) and then work through the plank variations that follow, focusing on proper shoulder position and maintaining a hollow body.

 

Also, in future form checks, consider orienting your camera in landscape mode so you capture your entire body.

Alrighty, thanks a lot Garrick. Makes perfect sense. I'll take a step back :-)

 

Also thanks for the advice with the camera, don't really know much about IT. Didn't even know such a thing as "landscape mode" existed. Guess I have to download some kind of an app to make my phone record on landscape mode :)

I think it's just a matter of rotating your phone/camera 90 degrees when filming.
