Better with the push and looking left! I see that inside leg is in front of your “elbow line” though 🧐 before trying to release that bottom hand, make sure glutes are engaged, legs straight (this helps keep tension in the legs). Try to squeeze all the muscles in your back and butt

Hiii babe! Okay this is THE perfect example of that hip flexor & glute relationship that you asked about. a couple things..

try grabbing on the inside of the left leg

make sure your entire stomach and chest is firmly pressed into the pole before the back leg comes off (you'll see this in the dictionary video.. I slide down as the back leg comes off)

you'll be able to press your front body into the pole more if you arch you back

externally rotate the back leg from the hip and squeeeeeeeze the glute

better John! More upper back.. try spotting the mat!

jamimah yes bend the straight arm to help with that push! :)

Wowww! I always love your challenge collages! Beautiful babe!

This was better!!!! Now look over your right shoulder (away from the pole). That’ll rotate your chest away, which is what we’re going for so the pole can connect to our back
