FL/PE16 - Form check & advice

I know that I pike at the top. I also just read Coach Alex's advice to Awais Muzaffar about pushing his hips up during this exercise.

Do you suggest mastering an easier variation first, like half lay or half straddle? Or am I close enough that I should work on correcting the pike and continuing with the full lay variation?

Thanks,

David
