Thoracic bridge form check please

I do this once a week I struggle with some of the exercises but here you go what do you think.

my shoulder flexion is poor but improving . This is holding my HS 1 progress back at the moment

Whats your thoughts on how much extension I am getting in my thoracic spine or am too much lumbar spine

Any advice much appreciated 

HI Nick your shoulder flexion it is better than what you think, you need more thoracic extension. I would elevate the feet for sure in your case.

Thanks @Alessandro Mainente In practice I always do the bridge feet elevated but I do like to end the series with a test or measure of where I am.

as always thanks again

Hi Nick,

That's not a bad idea, nice job. Can you also post a video of yourself doing this exercise with the feet elevated so that we can give you more specific corrections?

Hi @Jeffrey Bittner thanks for the encouragement. I would Normally only bridge once a week when I follow the series. Should I wait to record it then or do you want me to post the elevated bridge before that?

thanks 

Hi Nick,

You can go ahead and take the video the next time you go through the TB series

@Jeffrey Bittner here is my elevated bridge for you critique please. So much easier since I had my wall bars on the weekend. Thanks

Not bad Nick, try to extend the legs , but be sure to begin with the legs at the edge of the stallbar (I mean to perform a straddle bridge).

Ok @Alessandro Mainente Will do. Can I ask, out of curiosity, what the purpose is for that?

do you mean straddling? it is easier for the spine to extend when lower limbs are separated, nothing more.

Thanks @Alessandro Mainente that's very interesting. Thanks again much appreciated 

Hi Nick,

Nothing really to add to Alex comment, but it's great to see you working hard. Keep it up!

Thanks @Jeffrey Bittner And thanks again @Alessandro Mainente Much appreciated
