Hey Alex, the body position is good, 2 corrections for the rest:

1) do not elevate the shoulders at the bottom of the rep;

2) reduce the speed of the first part of the movement.

Does this look better?

Nice adjustment, Alex! Remember to keep a strong posterior pelvic tilt (PPT) and engaged core muscles throughout your set.

Hey Alex, adding something to Jeffrey's suggestion, notice that from the course video the grip moves from pronated to supinated at the top of the rep.

Check.

in the first video I was doing that but now I was so focused on the shoulders I forgot. The same for the hips that Jeffrey mentioned.

Thanks

Hello,

Here's an update.

Could you give some feedback on the form?

Good job focusing on the hips and the hand position. Remember to engage your core muscles to help keep your ribs pulled in.

Hey Alex,  out of my curiosity, can you provide a full back view?

Here is the back side view.

Thanks...my suspect was right. at the top, you tend to elevate a bit the left shoulders. try to reduce the gap or you will have the same problem in the latter works. For now, is less relevant but as you progress you cannot have asymmetrical shoulder positioning (e.g. in the pullup).

Yes, I can see it now. I did not notice it before.

Some background info: I do tend to build up some muscle tension in the left shoulder area after the Upper body foundation session and I can not seem to reduce it some how.

For now I will focusing on depressing my shoulders in the entire movement.

Any tips on reducing the muscle tension in the left shoulder?

The most productive way is thinking to activate more the muscles on that side. If your "normal condition2under work is having asymmetrical shoulder positioning then you should strive to feel the left shoulder more activated, more depressed than the right. i the long term there are no magic exercises but only correcting technique directly.

Hi Alessandro,

Last 2 weeks I focused a lot on depressing the shoulders. I think i see a bit improved but it is very hard to see.

Could you give me your opinion? Thanks.

IT IS BETTER...now look at the end of every rep that the right scapula moves a bit more when you return in the bottom position. Hold it in the depression.
