SPL PE2 form check

I can I get a form check please. not sure if i'm holding it to straight if that makes sence.

Thank you

Hi Garry,

Your form looks great. Nice job!

That's good to hear. Just the mobility to keep working hard on again ha!

Thank you Jeffery

I like your line, BUT keep the hands in front of the shoulders, this means that the forearms must be parallel.

OK thanks I will focus on that. The videos show the hands together. Does parallel arms make the hold more difficult? (which i'm all for as it makes the next step easier) but just wondering.

Thanks Alessandro

Hi could I get a PE2>IM form check please

Thank you

Hi Garry,

It looks pretty good. Keep working on opening your hips more. Think about elevating the legs more as you extend them. Also, remember to pause for a moment with your leg extended on each rep.

It's looking good, keep it up!

Thank you for the advice Jeffrey I will work on that

HI again

Could I get a form check please. Any advice is appreciated.

Thank you

Nice work Garry. You are doing a great job of protracting the scapula as well as keeping PPT. You are picking up a bit too much hollow in your spine as you hold. Work on flattening out the middle of your back while still keeping strong protraction. Nice job!

Hi Garry,

I found that depressing the shoulders (away from ears) helped me flatten the mid back. It did make the exercise harder for me as it engaged the lats more.

Thank you both for the advise. I'm not sure if i'm understanding the flat mid back. I think i'm depressing the shoulders like Greg advised but not sure if i'm doing it correctly. Is this better or worse?

Obviously get a coaches opinion but I like the shape at 13 secs. 

Thanks Greg Hopefully they will agree.

This movement is a lot more technical than I imagined (for me anyway)

Hi Jeffrey am I getting anywhere close?

Thanks

@Garry Barker It looks good. Nice adjustment.

Great. Thank you

Hi

Just wondering in the IM form is looking any better 

Thanks

Hi Garry,

You're on the right track. You are doing a nice job of elevating your right leg, however your knee is still slightly bent on each rep. Keep working on elevating your left leg more as you extend it.

Hi Jeffrey.

Thank you for the advise, I didn't notice the knees bending. Is it OK for the legs to go higher than level?

Great question! The more ROM the better. If you can elevate the leg above him level, that's awesome. Just be careful that you do not "fake" ROM by arching the back or rotating the pelvis.

Good advice I'll keep that in mind. 

Thanks again Jeffrey

Hi

Just wondering if my form is anywhere close to mastery. Thanks

Hi Garry,

Nice improvement. Your right leg looks much better, however, the left leg still needs a bit of work. As you extend the left leg, you are rotating the pelvis slightly. It has gotten a lot better. Keep up the good work!

Thanks Jeffrey will keep working at it
