SL SE1 Side Lever Block

Ok, just making sure.    Would someone be willing to post a pic of this from direct behind so I can see the shoulders and arms.    One shoulder is necessarily going to be higher than the other, yes?  When the notes say keep body square it means parallel to the stall bars or does it mean keep the shoulders at the same level? 

Also, when I log this, I log the time I did on the weaker side?

Hi Jennifer,

Train the same time on both sides. This means that your weaker side should dictate how long you hold this for. Once your weaker side catches up to your stronger side, then you can progress evenly. 

Keeping the body square means keep your chest facing the bars at all time. Don't allow your torso to twist. The video below is a great example:

OK this video makes more sense to me.  Thank you!

Her upper arm is on the offset bar?  That's allowed?

I prefer pole on the same level.

Ok starting from the highest non-offset rung and keeping the body in a straight line was much easier to do (like the lady in the vid above) than trying to bend the knees like in the course video.   I'm not that coordinated (yet).  Thanks!!

Does anyone else find these super-taxing on the upper body? When I first tried them, I was confused why they were included in Core work because my arms would shake after a few sets. These also revealed a glaring strength imbalance between my left and right side. Ridiculous. 

Yes! Your Manna, Side Lever, and Front Lever progressions will all eventually incorporate the upper body. Everything in Foundations integrates as you go along. Nice work reaching your specific SL training
