Core - FL PE2 + iM form check

My form felt pretty solid on both the strength and mobility elements, but I would appreciate an extra set of eyes.

On the hollow body rock, I may not be rolling far enough back, but I feel like I was only utilizing my abs to perform the movement (no extra help).

Table is getting a lot better, but my chest still isn't higher than my shoulders, so i selected Failed Mobility.

Thanks!

Hi Robert,

Nice work!

For the PE, make sure your shoulders are just off the floor, and your low back should be in touch with the floor all the time. On the top you're coming a bit too far off, so it looks almost like a crunch. Keep the same body position at all time and focus on the rocks only. You will feel the brurn after a couple of reps!

The iM looks very nice, good shoulders! Make sure you squize your glutes on top.

Keep working on the rocks :)

Hi Robert, actually you are showing a breaking at the hips angle, if you stop at 7 seconds  and then immediately after at 8 you can see that the knees move to the left while the shoulders are practically in the same position, this leads to bodyline break which is not permitted.

On the IM you need to depress more the shoulder (away from the ears) and retract. the goal it is to push the sternum high to the ceiling.

awesome advise from Pauline and Alex. Keep in mind to rock as one unit and use your core and not your hips to rock. keep working on it. :)
