SLS PE2

step 9 5x15r

Apologies for the plethora of form checks today; coming back to GB after a break following a few injuries and a busy schedule. I had a shoulder impingement/bursitis in left shoulder but more recently and more relevantly for this PE a dislocation of my left kneecap 3 weeks ago doing jujitsu. MRI shows a possible partial tear of the ACL and am having physio as well to build this back up.

Limiting factor here is the iM, I struggle with straddle mobility/tight adductors in general and am using the Middle Split series to work on this, though not recently due to the damage to my knee.

I would appreciate your feedback on what I should focus on, especially with the iM which I feel may take some time to fix.

Nice animal sideshow 

Little too much twisting going on in this im. Keep both sides of your butt down as much as possible to concentrate the pull in the medial glutes

Squats are fine 

thanks Jon, I will work on it. I was surprised to see how much I was twisting when I saw the video, definitely a perception-reality gap.

Easy to do. Often it can be fixed next session just being aware of it. Even if it's just a positioning thing, learning the difference will help later in hitting the right angle to create a nice looking planche vs a bleh one.

Aw, the doggie is adorable… thinking "daddy is not as good on lifting that hind leg as I am"  :-) 

Yes, only helping to add confusion to the dog's sense of identity...
