iam failing to complete these steps , iam able to do the previous progression both the mobility and excercise .kindly suggest.

Hi Shafi, it is completely normal. it is practically impossible for the vast majority of the people to complete the progression at the first attempt.

Now since the IM2 it is by far the most undervalued and wrongly executed exercise can I ask you to post a video as soon as possible?

Shafi ur Rahman

hi alessandro,

found it very difficult to upload video as your website doesnot allow mp4 videos. so sending you a snapshot . last time when i attempted the mobility was with a barbell this time it is only a bamboo stick.

further on the progression exercise can i use a wall for headstand till iam able to hold legs unsupported in air.

Hi Shafi, 

Thanks for reaching out. For this iM, you will need to keep your hands facing down. Try to avoid tilting your head forward when lifting the stick while maintaining a straight body line :)

Shafi, I know it is not the most practical way to upload here but you can also make animated GIFs of your movement which the site will absolutely accept.

Shafi ur Rahman

Thanks I will make necessary changes in mobility exercise.

You can also upload the video on youtube, set it under "unlisted" and then post the link here.
