hey Huy...some corrections are needed. first of all you must correct the bottom position.there is no second part of the movement without a proper upper arm position.
from a front view:
- shoulders are higher than elbows and hands, elbows are lower than hands and shoulders, hands are in the middle;
from a side view:
- elbows are exactly under the shoulders.

Hi coach,
I still struggle with this movement. When I try to lower to bottom; my traps tend to shrug a bit. How can I fix this?
sometime when I get to bottom position right; I still unable to shift myself forward and up.

You must reduce the intensity. a solution is to use a box where you can put your heels so that a portion of your body is scaled down. until the upper arm support has no depression i do not suggest to reverse the movement.

Hi Coaches,

nicely done...if you find 5x5 easy then try 5x5 with 1'' rest at the bottom before moving on..you will find the next L variation easier after that...

Hi coach,
Please notice my feet are touch the floor to reduce resistance and I am not able to do complete Russian Dip yet.
Everytime I attempt with feet off the floor. I find it hard to pull myself forward.

try it without feet and show me how it goes..
When I was learning this, I used a band for a couple of sessions.

Where do you out your band to assist on the way up?
Here is an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyXLsxTESk0
For the russian dip i prefer hips squared and bands under the glutes.

So basically it like L sit version but with knee bend and bands under glute?

yes..the band helps on keeping the upepr leg at 90° so it is not an active hold.

Thanks coach. I will give it a go this Thursday.

Hi coach,
Here is my attempt with band. Please check my form.

Hi Huy, the main mistake here is the speed. you are trying to rush into the upper arm support without thinking about the quality of the upper arm positio and in fact you are reaching a wrong bottom position where the shoulder is not stacked over the elbow. see the pic below.the green dot represents where i want to see the shoulder.
