Technical pointer needed for FL and BL

[Guest]

Hi guys,

I'm in need of a quick technical pointer for FL and BL

When performing tuck FL/BL, is it desirable to keep the chest 'neutral' or is it allowed to cave in slightly during FL and push out during BL (like what happens during inlocates/dislocates)? Actually, my question is more concerned with shoulder position I guess: are they allowed to get into the inlocate/dislocate position or do you want to have tight, 'neutral' shoulders during the static hold?

Thanks a lot!!

For the back lever, you should have a hollow body position. Dont relax! Push down with the hands actively and keep tension in your chest and abs.

STRAIGHT BODY POSITION!!!

Push rings down in both positions.

Thanks Gregor, I am pushing down in both positions, don't worry I can hold them with straight shoulders but it's very easy for me to hang in the dislocated position in BL so if I don't focus I sometimes go a little too far.

Thanks again
