You're off to a great start, Reilly! Remember to keep your knees straight, elbows pulled back, and head in a neutral position as you lift.
For mastery is it 10 reps per side?
Yes
Nice work, Reilly! I would like to see you get some more twist as you lift. If you can, try to slow your reps down just like you did on your regular arch ups. Keep trying to get your head in a neutral position so that you can open your chest completely.
Neutral position? You mean head always looking for ground?
My set up isn't ideal right now, but I want to make sure my forms solid.
Solid work, Reilly. Would it be possible to get a front view of your PE as well?
yes! I'll film from the front view next workout.
front view
Try to increase the amount of twist in your spine as you lift. Currently you are twisting more on your right side than on your left. Keep up the great work!
Just making sure my forms solid.

Have you tried some Reach Underneath stretch before beginning this variation?
Hey Riley: Great suggestion from Alex. I'm on the same progression as you for SL and wasn't twisting as much as required. Last week I added Reach Underneath to my Daily Limber and have already noticed an increase in range of motion I did the same thing a few months back with the Bent Vertical Lunge from the FS course--added it to my Daily Limber--and it's amazing what it has done for the depth of my front splits.
@Bill Marr What a great idea to add some exercises from the stretch series to aid in your progression in the foundation series.
I am going to steel that idea from you

hey Rilly, we have 45° of twist that is enough...maybe a bit more of range of motion past the parallel...

my impression...or you tend to twist less on one side?
I noticed I twist more on one side, how can I correct this. I’m the twisting the most that I can on all reps.

hey Reilly...do you find any differencea in the "reach underneath" stretch between left and right?
No I do not.
