I've gone back and tried working the compression on tuck ups and am currently there trying to get any improvements I can out of it to improve the compression on both of these but I am nowhere near the level shown by the athlete in the video even though I can do a set of 5x15 at my current level, I just can't seem to eek out anymore with it compression wise. I'm not sure its a lack of strength but I just can't physically push them beyond this point. I've put on some weight since having a new baby and working on thrive and getting back into GST has helped but what else can I do to improve the compression/height of the legs of this exercise?
The stretch series has helped tremendously and when I do these now I often feel a good popping of the sacrum/hips that wasn't always there. So seems like it's opening up as my straddle work has improved but it's still rather pathetic.
Anything with the form that you notice that I can correct and work on would be helpful. Also, should I keep working these at the 5x15 level or go back a step to work on the compression/form in tuck ups?
Also, I sometimes use a rogue infant but my form goes to shit. Thankfully he didn't throw up on me.
@Jeffrey Bittner Thanks for the tip to go back and look at these I hadn't video'd them yet for some reason. Going to make it a habit to do so more regularly from now on.
