While doing the arch thing, I noticed it was really hard to keep my knees together. Its almost like they dont touch. I dont have this problem while doing Hollow. Is anyone facing the same, and what would be some techniques to work through it?

Day 10 - Arch

Yes, I had the same problem.
This is common and will improve. The issue you are encountering is indicative of a stiff lower back and weak glutes/adductors (muscles on the inner thigh that pull your legs together).

Is it common to be stronger in the arch and weaker in the hollow? I find that my arch is good, I can get both shoulders and straight legs (at knees) up to hold; however in arch, I need to keep my legs at 90 degrees. I seem to not have the strength for straight legs and correct lower back placement on the floor. Common issue?
Most men hate the arch.
