RC/PE1

Insights on these? I feel ready to move on but will refine if necessary. 

I'm hopping in to ask a quick question. I've just been grabbing a doorframe (I just started F1 this past week) for the mobility stretch. What are you using? Is that something I can buy, or is it something simple like a strap lodged in the door?

Much appreciated!

It's a door hanger. Elastic tubing, the GB Backstraps, a TRX trainer, all typically come with them and they have an eye loop. I put the block on one side of the door and then I grab the loop with whichever hand/arm I'm stretching. It allows me to adjust the height (to varying levels by my chest) and is a quick/easy fix for not having stall bars (I do have a ladder in my basement, which I use for press handstand mobilities, but using that in this case would slow down my workout pace -- that's a no-no). You can amazon, google any sort of option. Hell, a belt might even work well, though I wouldn't recommend any expensive belts, ha. 

Make sense? Of any help?

Hey Daniel,

It looks like you're doing the iM for the old RC/PE1... if you look at the follow along video, the iM for this element has the torso pretty much parallel with the floor, with arms overhead, leaning to one side at a time.

Actually, I am following the follow-along video and I respectfully disagree. Sorry, but I'm not sure what you mean.

Edit: I think you're lumping the old PE2, with the old PE2>im which is not the case. The iMs didn't change. At least from my purview, only the PEs did. A forum coach may feel free to correct me, but I review this stuff pretty thoroughly. So, I'll be the first to admit if I'm wrong, but I don't think I am.

Maybe we have different videos.

Here's my screen shot for the iM for this element

Sorry the paste function didn't work there... I've attached the pic as a file, hopefully this works.

That's the iM that's linked with ground rows for me.

That helps a ton. Many thanks for the ideas! I've got gymnastic rings on the way, so I'll have a strap that I can play around with for that, too.

Oh you know what - you're right!! I just checked and I've been doing the old PE2 but the following the new PE2 vids. I didn't even notice the change in body angle, as my rows are kind of in between the two

Sorry man... thanks for helping me spot that though haha!

Glad I could help resolve another forum debate just in time! Carry on about your day, citizens! 

Haha! Thanks Jon - couldn't have done it without you

Andddd back to the ORIGINAL post. Guys I'm good to move on? Got the a-okay from a video review, but curious what the forums think.

I was told to lower further down, to about 30-45 deg from the floor. Don't think it matters much but the closer you get to ground rows now the easier they'll be. I think moving on and staying are both ok.

Soooo, more to be done the higher I am? Troublemaker I is. PE2 it shall be.
