HS PE2 im form check

Hello, I am working on improving my shoulder mobility. Every day I do one set of PE1 im and PE2 im as part of my daily limbering, I have seen big improvements over the last 6-7 months.

Here are 2 videos of my PE2 im

front and back https://youtu.be/7nSA878_vAA

I try to hold a tight body and keep PPT in the exercise, however I find that my head keeps going forward at the top of the movement, I don't know if it is too much. I have looked at at a lot of form checks of the PE2 im and it seems like a small amount of head movement forward is ok, but I don't know if I have crossed the line.

Just to give you a different perspective here is me with a wider grip https://youtu.be/dMtE1kLJUS8

If there is anything else to improve do not hesitate to comment.

Cheers

Hi Johan try to hold the shoulders down (ears away from shoulders) and try to lift the bar for a couple of cm more.

I will work on that, thanks Alessandro.

So basically what you are saying is that I need to widen my grip a tad bit in order to hold the shoulders down and lift the bar a bit and then work on making the grip narrower again?

One question regarding this...In both this HSPE2 im and HSPE4 im, is there any vertical movement of the shoulders allowed? or should the shoulders ONLY rotate? With the demo video camera perspective is difficult to appreciate this...

Shoulders should be held depressed as much as possible. shoulder itself cannot rotate because it is a complex, its component can rotate in different planes but it is not the place for deep discussion about these movements.

Hello again, here is an update of my current form, how does it look?

Hey, Here is my current form. I feel like I have improved my mobility since I made my first post, however I wonder if it is enough. My head seems to come forward at the top of the movement, I get the feeling that it is too much but I don't know.

In the video I do this first with a narrow grip then I do it with a wider grip just as a comparison, I don't know if it is important but I might help to judge how my mobility is on this element.
