SPl/PE5 - Form check request

Hey everyone, would appreciate your feedback on my form for the planche lean which I've just started training.

Here's a video I filmed today for it: 

Wondering if my hips are too high at the moment, or if it looks correct for you. Let me know!

hI Massimiliano, we have some work to do....

1) first....hips are too high, they should be at the same height of the shoulders;

2) heels should be together;

3) you must let the shoulder to do the work...to not resist with the instep.

Appreciate the feedback, thanks! Will implement the corrections and film it again tomorrow.

Hi Massimiliano, you must work more on point 2 and 1.....it requires time...reduce the lean so that you can spend more seconds in the position.

How is it looking now? 
 

I'm struggling to understand whether the 'core' has to do any work here (other than posterior tilt) or if the exercise is all about shoulders, wrist, and keeping the hips extended. Shall I actively contract the core or relax it?

HI Massimiliano , the first mistake here is at the beginning where instead of lean and slide the feet of the floor you finish to hold the feet in place and lose protraction.

the core is engaged in the same way of the normal plank position so abs are squeezed, hips you have posterior pelvic tilt and hips extension. 

anytime you draw a line from shoulder straigth down to heels and you see that hips are above that line then you lack of hips extension.

Thanks! I'm really wondering, what you suggest to do to contrast the tendency of the hips to flex? I've tried going back to straight arm planks and single arm planks elements but my hips are in a good place there and fall within the line you described.

This element, the planche lean, is the only one I'm struggling with technique...should I just keep going and over time I will develop have the right strength, or should I do low volume sets focusing only on technique for now? Any recommendation?

Usually when someone tries to resist the fall with hips then an hips flexion appears...my suggestion is to reduce the lean and build up habits...no matter how much...
