@Garry Barker Feel free to post a video of your iM if you need any help.

Garry Barker

Not sure where i'm at with this one. 

Any advice appreciated

Thank you 

 

Jeffrey Bittner

Hey Garry,

Can you upload a side view taken from ground level?

Garry Barker

Yeah sure

 

Jeffrey Bittner

Hey Garry,

Thanks for taking the time to shoot another video. It looks like you're doing a great job. You are doing a good job of keeping your entire back pressed into the ground as you hold your position. It looks like your hands are slightly wider than shoulder width. Work on bringing them a little bit closer together. Other than that, it looks good, nice work!

Garry Barker

Thanks Jeffrey 

I'll keep working on it. 

Garry Barker

Got my hands closer together and added the weight. This is the 5th set of 30s. How's it looking please

Thank you.

 

Jeffrey Bittner

Hey Garry,

It looks awesome! If possible, can you also post a top view?

Garry Barker

Hi Jeffrey

is this what you were meaning?

 

Alessandro Mainente

It seems to be ok.

Garry Barker

Thanks Alessandro 

Still finding the handstand IM's really tough 

Garry Barker

Hoping for a bit of help with this IM. I've started moving through the PE's or I would never move on from PE1. Ive been on this IM for months now with no change at all. I practice these on a regular basis. Any ideas anyone please?

 

Alessandro Mainente

Hey Garry, reduce a bit the grip and this is ok.

Garry Barker

Hey

How's this looking please.

Thank you

 

Alessandro Mainente

NIce work on the IM2 Garry.

Garry Barker

Hey

Not sure what im aiming for on this one.

Any advice appreciated

 

Alessandro Mainente

Hi Garry, in this IM you should strive to reach the floor with the armpit. Also, keep your chin on the floor while looking forward. you should be able to see your thumbs with the peripheral vision.

Garry Barker

Thanks Alessandro.

Looks likes I'll be spending some time on this on.

Garry Barker

Im up to 2.5kg on this one and can do quite a few sets.

An i ok to mark as easy or do I need to improve form/add weight?

Thank you

 

Leo Trinidad

Hi Garry,

Looking good. Yes you can mark it easy. Keep up the good work. :)

Garry Barker

Finding this one really tough.

Ive reached 3 x 30s but still not sure if the form is anywhere close yet?

Thanks

 

Garry Barker

Any advice please?

Jeffrey Bittner

Nice work, Garry. As you get tired your start to bend your elbows. Try to keep them straight throughout your set. Also work on bringing your hands a little bit closer together.

Can you also post ground view from the front?

Garry Barker

Thank you @Jeffrey Bittner

Ill keep working on those. I cant imagine being able to do this with a weighted bar. 

Is this view any good?

 

Alessandro Mainente

Hey Garry, as noted Jeffrey, keep the elbows locked. it is a common tendency where there is lack of strength on a certain angle.
