form check - various moves

Hey guys in the near future I will be uploading various moves to check my form...I want to keep it all in one post.

So the first one is XR L-sit Pull Ups, this is my third set of yesterday workout. I am mainly concerned about the ROM, do I go high enough?? I am also doing regular pull ups other day with a bit better ROM.

All feedback is appreciated

I actually always believed that proper form while doing pull ups is to keep shoulders depressed and retracted during whole set, even between reps. Can someone confirm that this is incorrect??? and I should dead hang between reps?

You should actually start with with naturally elevated and protracted at the bottom of each rep then depress and retract as you do the concentric and reverse that for the eccentric unless you have shoulder problems.

alright thank you guys, and what about the ROM?

Well, he is right. No full dead hang, you should do that.

Educate me if I'm wrong, but isn't it better for shoulder health to not fully extend and hang from the ligaments?

Will it help strength development to hang even further or is that more of an aesthetic thing to judges?

Coach mentioned that it was a perfectly natural shoulder movement, and eventually you end up in that position anyways (during swings and stuff). So not strengthening that position is a bad idea.

Alright, so I have 2 new videos.

Wall handstand

Wall HeSPU Negatives

I know than when I walk my feet up to wall that I am not as hollow as needed, I will fix that

Other than that I am really curious about the handstand, I have hard time progressing on it...I usually hold only 3 x 20 seconds. The negatives itself are not really difficult, but the walking up the wall 3 times in a row and negatives between it are killing me. It was a lot easier to just kick to back to wall handstand

You should work on your breathing, because it sounds as if you're having a really hard time holding the position. About the negatives, I can't see it properly, but you should go in with your elbows instead of going out. Once again, can't see that properly, so sorry if I saw that incorrectly.
