hey guys, i performed the week 9 this workout but it was really hard to accomplish, i am in doubt if the form was compromised here and if i need to step back a 5x10 reps for the next week or keeping up the 4x12.

The curious thing is that xiaoengs with 3kg kills my shoulders really much more than pushups. Is this a mobiity problem? Any tip?

Really thank you for any advice

Protract more at the top and slow down

Yes, protract more at the top of each push-up rep and it wouldn't hurt to slow it down just a bit. For the iM, rotate your torso more to the sides as you ascend and descend the weight. Shrug the working shoulder to your ear at the top of each xio peng rep as well.

The protraction and tempo look fine to me. I'm no official word though. The iM advice above is good, it should also help fix your arching back.

thanks everyone for tips, i'll make sure to slow down a bit. Regarding protraction i think i protract a bit at the top i don't really know if i need to accomplish the same protraction as sPL elements at every rep..

Get your full body on screen and try to take it like the example video.  The im cant really be assessed. Re the push ups to me it looks like your arms are not vertical, I believe the hands should create a vertical line under the shoulders.
