Help with my frog stand and hip pu please

So, this is my attempt at a frog stand. I'm unsure whether I should continue with paralettes or try and force the move on the ground since ultimately I would like to do planche pu on floor. As for the stand, am I doing everything right, I find that the pressure is sometimes heavy on my shoulders and sometimes more so on my wrists.

And this is my hip push up attempt. I feel my hands aren't back enough but (obviously), placing my hands further back is to intense on my shoulders to hold.

Thanks for the help, even though I'm such a novice.

Hips should be in a line with shoulders, yours are too low.

Even for just the frog stand?

Yeah, you're putting your knees on your forearms - they should be on the elbows.

Edit: Actually the problem is that you're keeping your arms straight - a frog stand requires bent arms. The advanced frog stand places the knees on the BACK of the elbows with straight arms

So, is this a sufficient advanced frog stand? I feel most of the pressure on my wrists instead of my shoulders, does that mean I'm doing something wrong?

Thanks for the help.

I'm no expert, but it seems ok to me - spend some time doing it to "clean it up" a bit.

And yeah, I feel a lot of wrist pressure too - that and my lats.

Yes, that is quite correct form. And yes, you will feel some pressure on your wrists, it's always a little bit uncomfortable. Remember to have the arms locked at all times.

You should aim to have your hips level with your shoulders. Also note that the upper back should be rounded, not slacked, as this helps translate into a more solid planche down the line.
