PE1 + iM

Hello, 

This is my first form check video. Please let me know what you think.

For the iM I'm using a wooden stick; no weight is on it yet.

Does my back need to be flat for the headstand? 

Thanks,

Oliver.

Hey oliver....the 18'' angles of the first video is what you need!

Thanks Alessandro!

How is this? Any good? 

(The weight is just a 1.25Kg plate)

nicely done....next time feel free to tag me.

Ok thanks. 

Alessandro, how much weight do you want on this exercise?

(I am about 70Kg).

usually 10% bodyweight is enough, always paired with a shoulder width grip.

That's 7kg for me, that seems like a lot of weight...but I will give it a try...

well, you MUST progress little by little to this weight. try it without a minimum of adaptation can lead to injury.

only to give you an idea...

this is me back in 2010....18 kg...

Progress update: I did 5 sets of 10s with weight and no shoulder pain.

I'm still using 1.25 Kg. I tried 2.5Kg tonight as well ... I think I got a few seconds, it was hard...

OK

Hey Oliver, from this view it appears ok, do you have a back view?

Hi Alessandro,

Next time I do this mobility I will record a back view and post it.

Thanks

Here is my mobility again with the back view.

Here's my attempt...

Another attempt...

Let me know what you think Alessandro. I hope my form is finally correct...

i like it.....i strongly suggest to hold this variation for a couple of sets.....1 or 2 days a week...

Okay.

Still on this mobility.

By the way I am doing 5 sets of 10seconds with this ....
