I'm working on my handstand one progressions and just reached the "end" of the pe6 progression. Before I move on to the next progession I would like to know if my form is good enough to move on.

HI Gerrit, first of all videos of private course must be uploaded on youtube and put on "unlisted".
ABout your execution I want to see a side view.

Corrected the link. Will record a side view for today's training.
It is possible to see your IM5?

Hi Alessandro, I hope you revere to the HS/PE5 IM
see below:
Hi Gerrit,
Before moving past this iM, we suggest a much narrower grip. You want to build up to 5-10lbs at a minimum using a grip that is, at most, a hands width outside of shoulder width. Stay with a light weight and gradually narrow your grip over time. Then add weight, go wide again, and repeat the process until you can achieve that.
Also, as you pass the weight overhead, be sure to shrug your shoulders up as high as you can. I prefer to feel my shoulders brush past my ears each time the weight goes overhead. Also avoid any arching of your back. Stay upright.
Thanks for that observation, back to step 5 it is.
For the "no arching" does that mean that you have to actively squeeze the glutes?
Basically do not stick the chest out.
As i Was suspecting the mobility was not enough to perform correctly the PE6.

Hi Alessandro,
Thank you for taking a look, seems I'm back to PE5 for a while to fix the mobility deficits ![]()
For my understanding. What issues did you see in the first two videos and how does that translate to the mobility work in PE5?
Simply the amount of shoulder flexion on your handstand it is not enough.
I corrected thousands of handstand since i've started my journey as gymnastics coach and GB coach.
Alright, once again, thank you. Will post a new video once I reach the mobility standards as described by Everett.
