I am able to perform the C5: 1/2 hanging leg lift well but I am unable to to bring my knees up to my chest / bar to start the C6: negative hanging leg lift. I was wondering if someone could help me find out what I need to focus on. Thanks!

Hey Ryan, GB elements are strongly supported by previous elements especially in the manna progression if you do not match the pre req of a previous IM you have low chances to move forward. This is why we provide a form check review on the private subforum...so I'm gonna ask you to show your lever on IM5 and then i'll can tell you if the problem is coordination and technique or if the limitation to progress is the lack of mobility.
Will do. Just to clarify, you would like to see my 1/2 hanging leg lift?

Hey Ryan nope...the integrated mobility of the previous element. since it can be the liming factor i must check if it can be or not in your situation.
I would also love some advice in this very advanced move which somewhat comes out of the blue after half raise which is quite straightforward…still not there after a year of trying.

Hi Ducan when you arrive at this point the most relevant and limiting factor is the posterior chain mobility, how is your pike?

I just sit on floor and lean as far forward as possible?

Hey Duncan..ok the main problem is the posterior chain especiallt because you are bending at the knees.
can you post the IM of the previous 2 elements? i need to see if they match a minimum of range of motion.

Hi Alessandro - sorry, what is IM? - and for the previous 2 elements you mean prior to the negative leg raise?

Every strength element is paired with a INtegrated Mobility exercise. IM refers to this element and yes for the second question. the mobility ensure that the strength dficit of a neew elemnt is made easier due to the combination of strength + mobility of the previous steps.
Hello, I am experiencing the same problem. C6 seems to be a huge jump from the end of C5. How can I find out what I need to work on? I assume my pike is also not strong enough yet, since I fine the vertical pike pulls very challenging to go 4 bars or closer together.

hi Edward can I seen your execution please?

Hi Alessandro, thanks for getting back to me. What would you like to see, the leg lift or the pike pulls, or both?

Both of them...

Hi here you go. I think it is not actually as bad as I thought. I cannot do near 10 seconds but it is better than a few weeks ago. I read the your advice above and am working on my pike more by reincorporating Jefferson Curls back into my routines. I actually really miss them, I wonder; why they are not in the progression anymore? I found them to be highly beneficial.

the main limitations here is the posterior chain flexibility...
try thi:
and show me how much you ca raise the leg. both sides..

Well you reach the minimum but you need more in the long term. i doubt that the main limitation is the compression ( the pike) that it is not enough. the more the tension in the posterior chain the less proficeint you can be in the leg raise variations..

They're still in Foundation 1 where they've always been: MN/PE2>iM
