Hi guys,
Can someone tell me how am I doing here? And what can/should I improve?

In PE video, my phone just fainted in the middle of the set...
Thanks,
Marko.
Hey @Alessandro Mainente can you check this one too?
hey MArko, the light it is not the best. Can I ask you to to film the IM also from the back?
Hi @Alessandro Mainente,
Yes the light is terrible in my room...i need to fix that. 
Here are the back views, this are the best angles I could film from.

IM, when you move one leg to the side in a straight out position you tend to move outer the bent leg. this is a common compensation. the other leg should stay firmly in contact with the chair.
Okey, I will work on that.
Thank you.
Hey @Alessandro Mainente,
Here are some sets from last training, is it better now?
This are really the best angles I could get...
Hey Marko, PE seems ok. on the IM notice how one leg moves out, the other one must be held in place, no rotation, no movement.this is the biggest correction that you need.
Okey, I will work on that...
Thanks.
HI marko, the form is controlled but legs together in between reps is better.
I will fix that.
Thanks.
Well , feet is too high. it should reach hips level.
You mean, when I extend the leg?
Or when the feet are together, In begining position?
Thanks, I will keep working on this anyway, there is still too much grind in the reps...
Hey @Alessandro Mainente, here are some sets from yesterday...is it better now?
Hei Marko stop at 30'', notice how your feet raise above the hips level, this means that the hip is extended early compared to the knee extension. hip extension and knee extension must begin together and finish together.
Yes, I saw it...ok I will continue working on this. Thanks.
Hey @Alessandro Mainente,
Is it a little bit better now?
I dont know why, but doing this exercise with right leg is hard, while doing it with left leg is almost effortless...probably some of my huge imbalances.
now is ok, probably your right leg quads and generally hips flexor are tight and the hip extensors muscles are a bit weak.
Hi @Alessandro Mainente,
Here is one set from todays training.
Should I move forward now?
Also, I have one question not really related to this progression...
Can too much stretching (everyday stretching of muscles that are not really tight) without strengthening (only 3 times per week doing strength exercises for those muscles) weaken the muscles or stoping/slowing them down to become stronger?
Generally speaking, it depends on the methodology of stretching. if the methodology involves muscle contraction like PNF then probably you can lose strength.
Nope, I use just passive stretching after training, but it is good to know for the PNF...
Thank you.
