RC/PE18 Form Check

Hello Guys!

I've been working on this RC PE.

Here's a video:

How do you find my overall form? Is there something to fix?

Thanks in advance for any feedback!

Alessandro

looking perfect to meeee!

Hi @Alessandro Di Sanzo,

Looks solid to me. Keep up the good work. I regressed back quite a bit and hoping to get back at these. They look badass.

Well, from my pov...you should already have the front lever ;-)

@Alessandro Di Sanzo i’d really appreciate if you could share some tips for succeeding at this one. It’s a huge step up from the previous PE, and I’m terrible at it. I think maybe working on the negative could be helpful? I’d like to know how you made it look so perfect!

I don't remember exactly when I started to work on this progression... Definitely it was before last summer, so I spent a bit more than a few weeks!
I can say that in the beginning I used ti perform this element on the single bar instead of rings, mainly because I wanted to build some confidence with the movement: I was a bit scaried to get upside down on a unstable support like Rings. Also I saw that on the single bar I could use a bit of momentum as I fell down, which probably makes the exercise easier...
Little by Little I added 1 Rep, 2 Rep etc. And I moved on Rings support.
Moreover, In the mean time I was working on FL/PE15. Maybe, not sure, this kind of pratice helped me to learn keeping body line straight , without excessive piking.
This is my experience, I don't know If Can help you too.

Awesome! I believe mastering certain PE's in the FL series is a must for this one. I'm at only FL PE11 now, and I think FL PE13-15 are excellent progressions towards RC PE18. Some really strong people can probably still do RC PE18 without going through FL. But it won't be as pretty as yours!

it is because the movement it is very slow. I remember when I mastered this one long time ago I wasn't able to do the movement as slow as you BUT I was closer to full front lever. of your, you have body proportions useful for front lever.
