sPL PE1 Form Check

Hi everyone,

my Question related to the form check is mainly whether I have enough protraction at the top to progress to more reps or should work on my form first.

I also noticed that the movement seems to be a bit asymmetric, any comment here is highly appreciated.

These are the 4th and 5th set of 5x9, but as you might noticed counting is not my strong side (despite studying math...).

Thanks, Adrian

Hey Adrian,

Your form and degree of protraction look good. You are okay to keep building volume. The asymmetry is very slight and should work itself out in this case. I had an asymmetry like this when I started GST. The iM's from the Handstand One course are what ended up balancing me out. 

Hi Adrian the asymmetrical movement it is very little, consider the idea of depressing the more the right scapulae and take another video. a tight upper trap due to dominant side movement it is enough to produce this difference!

@Mainente Alessandro That tip seemed to be spot on, thank you! Though depressing only one shoulder felt a little bit weird it seemed to have the correct effect.

I already noticed before that the mobitlity/strength/whatever in my shoulders is quite uneven, which is also with high probability one cause for the small ongoing tendonitis in my left elbow.

Stretching the shoulder with the iMs from H1 and TBS defenitly relieves some of the problems I have in my elbow and other stuff like pain when having slept too compressed on my shoulder...

Very nice work.

@Adrian Theopold Awesome job!
