SL PE4 & iM form check please

This is a new movement, please could you check my form and provide any guidance?

Are my feet too low? Do I need to find a way to bring my legs closer to horizontal?

How heavy should the iM be? I started with 10kg which seemed too light and was using 16kg here which I felt was starting to create a pull.

Thank you,

James

HI James, yes the Heel are too low, they must be at the same level of the hips.

thank you though not sure how i am going to achieve that in the gym I go to; does anyone have any good suggestions (other than "find a better gym")?

Does the gym have strong elastic bands? You could potentially lean off the side of the bench you have you phone sitting on, with a strong band around your ankles holding you down?

Thanks Nicholas, that is not actually a bench but one of those assisted pull-up machines but i like the idea in general. I found this thread (below) on the forum and am going to try Greg White's method at home. Someone also suggested plyo boxes with feet under a handrail so might try that in the gym too as all the benches are pretty low.

Is this a better set-up? have used Nick Murray 's suggestion of a strong band to hold the feet down.

Hi James,

Your setup looks better. You can also do this exercise laying over a bench while using a bar or other piece of equipment to hold your feet.

Thanks Jeff, the benches tended to be too low however such that I could only fold to halfway. Other than that was the form ok to start adding volume?

Your form looks good, James!
