Hi just started on PE8 for SLs. Finding it much tougher than the last few progressions. Any tips?

Damn wonderful ankle mobility, strive to lift all the shinbone from the floor at the same time, like if the insteps does not touch.

hey Zachary

i started these by getting my knee onto a yoga-block or something similar, so i would not "bump" down to the floor and also couldn't help pushing up with the other foot. Over the last month i reduced the height of the pad and am doing them knee to floor.

@Petra Dvorak @Alessandro Mainente

Thank you both for your help!! 

 

I went to a block for a bit and got stronger and am now back on the floor but much more comfortable. How do these look?

The iMs I know need some work. They were straining my knees for a bit so I  haven’t been doing full range of motion - and also protecting with hands

HI Zachary, not bad. On the first video try to move all the shinbone off from the wall at the same time. holding more the toes pointed point could help a bit.

on the leg extension try to use the arms symmetrically and not lifting one arm before the other.

@Alessandro Mainente how are these?

Not bad zachary, try to lift off the feet first then the knee.

thoughts in on this one? It is feeling much more controlled 

 

 

Alessandro Mainente

Hey Zachary i would emphasize again to lift the feet FIRST , then the knee. in this way, I'm sure that there is no spotting from the posterior leg.

Zachary Ladwig

Ah thank you @Alessandro Mainente

 

How is the IM looking? It has gotten much easier the past few weeks
