Form check HS/PE2

Wondering if I am ready to move on the PE3 

Hi Aileen,

You are looking pretty solid, nice job. On your PE it looks like you might be picking up a small amount of pike in the hips, however, it is difficult to tell because of the angle of the video. I would like to see another video taken from the side the make sure everything is in check. Also, can you do your headstand without the wall behind you?

Your iM also looks pretty good. Your hands are slightly too wide. Bring them closer together so that they are only shoulder width apart. Once you are able to elevate the arms to 90 degrees the the hands closer, you will need to add some weight before moving on. Your goal is to be able to do this exercise with 5-8 lbs on the bar.

Nice points from Jeffrey, last one cue: depress the shoulders, feeling the traps work to hold the shoulders away from the ears makes a huge difference.

Here is,I hope, a better angle for the headstand. How does it look.

Hi Aileen,

Thank you for taking the time to shoot another video. It looks like you are doing a pretty good job. You are picking up a small amount of pike as you hold. Work on squeezing your gluts to get rid of the bend in the hips. I would also like to see your knees straight as you hold. Make sure that your elbows are directly over your hands. It looks like they might be flaring out to the side. 

Thank you for the pointers i will check my elbows with a video from behind to see what they are doing...yes my hamstrings a tight to i will need to work on straightening the legs. And also work up to some weight with the im
