Have been struggling with these for the longest time. Couldn't find my old post any more, but i def see improvement for both. I think i can still use a bit more lean, and more protraction in the shoulders. Every time I increase a little bit of lean, i almost have to start the progression all over again..

They are both the 5th set, and i did my best to keep the form.

Hi Jin,

It's looking okay. On your planche push-up, you are doing a nice job of hitting protraction at the top of each rep. As you lower, you are losing some PPT. Squeeze your gluts throughout your set to help keep from piking. You can also see in your video that you are picking up quite a bit of movement in the core (arching). Only lean as far as you can handle while keeping a tight core position.

Your planche lean looks good. Nice protraction and PPT. You still have a bit further to go on your lean, but it's looking good. Awesome job!

Thank you. Will keep working on it!
