My initial attempts at plank, reverse plank, hollow and arch holds. Didn't upload PB support and chinup hang. Not done for max time. Looking for some feedback.

Some suggestions:
Plank: Hollow the body more, you want to actively push against the ground and not just "sit" there.
Arch: Same thing here, really open up the chest and bring the shoulders back. With your current position you're sort of hanging out, but not being active enough.
Hollow: Midline looks good, try to extend the body, especially the upper body and arms. Make yourself longer without compromising the midline.
Arch: Bring the feet/legs together.
Plank. Yep, go find a picture of Dillon's plank. Push your shoulders up to round them.
Reverse plank. Ok.
Hollow. A more advanced hollow position is to have the arms outstretched covering the ears with an open shoulder. However, if you cannot hold that position without losing the "hollow" don't do it.
Arch- As said, you need to squeezer your legs together.

I don't know who Dillon is, could you give me a hand here?

The post by Dillon covers planche leans and a correct hollow is absolutely essential for it. The thread also has some talk about shoulder positioning and other details if the pictures aren't enough.
Thanks for the valuable pointers!
Will upload another some time in the future when I get 60s for all.
