Parkerson Seward Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I'm totally stuck with this. I've been training it for about 5 months now, and seem to have stalled. I started with the legs tucked variation, then to a position where one leg is extended, which was ok, but when I try to move to the next progression with my legs out in a "V" shape, I can't hold it.I'm doing it on a bar, for the record. Any suggestions? Maybe a different series of progressions?This is the progression routine I have been following:uINfkCLebuo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parkerson Seward Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 Man, I cry when i see this video. The guy is very strong and has some good moves, but god, the ugliest BL i have seen. When i got stuck on my BL training, I started to do some Bl pulls on top of the static work. That helped me out the most.Yeah on his youtube page he says the bad BL form is due to inflexibility in his shoulder area. I've started to notice something similar in mine, any way you know of to prevent that?Also, this might be obvious but I'm new to this, what exactly is a BL pull? Lowering down to the position but then raising up instead of holding it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parkerson Seward Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 Ok got it. I'll give it a shot in my workout tomorrow morning.Do you (or anyone) know how I would avoid having the same form as the guy in the video? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That helped me out the most.Well, it's not the best form I've seen but he has a nice hollow body position and pointed toes. I too want to know how to avoid his neck position though.

seiyafan Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Speaking of BL I just saw this video by Yan Mingyung, he did an invert to BL then press up to Planche, drop down to BL, press up to Maltese. :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parkerson Seward Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 Fixed the video for you manXhE_ZskfPI8 You avoid it by not progressing with the problem. Go to the progression in which you can perform it with good form.Thanks for the advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
