SPL PE5 form check

I just want to make sure this is ok. I can hold this position for much longer but if I try and go even a half inch more forward I immediately lose it at , even a few seconds in. So should I work on getting more forward or is this good enough to move up to longer holds? https://youtu.be/WoSHV-THxEQ

Hi Matt, first thing first: technical points.

1) hips are too high from the beginning and they tend to move higher as you proceed in the hold. this is a common mistake that must be avoided. you can clearly see it by the angle of the red line compared to the correct body alignment of the red one.

2) feet angles. a common mistake when you begin to be fatigued it the ankles angle. in the photo below you can notice how the angle between feet and floor increase as you become fatigued. note that this is a common problem where you tend to put some weight on the feet by squeezing the anterior tibialis. this is a mistake. never use your feet.

GENERAL SUGGESTION: correct the technique and post another video. do not increase the time under tension more then 6 seconds until the correct amount of lean is reached.

Great feedback, thank you! I’ll work on it and submit another video in a week

Here is a video from today... it felt better, let me know if this is more what you were looking for. Thanks!

Still raising a bit your feet, the 6 seconds position is what you are searching for.
