MN/SE9 Form Check

I've been working on MN/SE9 for some time and am finding that while I can hold the position for the required time, my ankles are not above my knees.  I've tried a number of things but am having trouble making it happen.  I am wondering if something with my form is preventing this from happening.  

I know the video does not show it but my legs are not touching my arms.

Hi Jon, in case of difficulties in this element you need to consider the passive tension of the antagonist's muscles. basically, you need to have a decent 90° pancake in order to be able to lift the heels over the knees.
