HS PE1 and IM : head position ?

Hi,

I would like a form check on my tripod headstand and on the related mobility exercise as i am on step 1, before ramping up the volume, putting weight on it and risking injuring myself is the form is bad?

For the tripod, what would be the correct head position : i tried to rest on the top of my head (2nd video) and on the  part between my forehead and the top of my head (first video)
I feel like when i balance on my forehead my body is a bit tilted backwards (towards my hands) and i don't know if i would be able to balance once i extend my legs. However, this position seems to be what the athlete do in the demo video. Also, when i rest on the flat part of my head i feel less weight on it.

hey Edouard, well for the PE is a quite normal feeling the weight on the hands if you perform a particular mistake...you are putting the medial quads on the knees and not the bone.

for the IM you should increase the hand's distance of 1-2 cm so that you can reach the full flexion with straight arms.

Ok. Didn’t get your sentence « you are putting your medial quads on the knees and not the bone »   You wanted to say that I have to put my elbows on my knees and not on my triceps ?

aahahah yes sorry. put the bone of the knee exactly under the tricep.
