I think your hands are still too high - grab under the bench you are laying on - I think that would help you get more lat and less arm. Hurts my bum shoulder too much. I'll lower the bar a notch though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard of the Russian judges stalling but I never thought the US, Canadian, and Swedish judges would leave me hangin. Lol you don't need to impress me Mike... my kettlebell teacher is fond of saying "the thing is not the thing, the thing you get from the thing that is the thing". Are you happy with your flag? Zen riddles aside the concentric on #3 looks really good! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still work to be done and another few lbs to lose to be totally happy with the dragon flag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatty boombalatty dragon flags The range of motion is there. Just need to work on form. IMO the hand placement is to your own discretion, no hand placement is better or worse then the other terms of form or difficulty of the movement. However there is still a bend in your knees and your hip. For perfect form, try to deliberately reach as far away as you can with your toes. Extend your knees hard, keep the hip completely straight through out the entire movement and point your toes like a gymnast, all in an effort to get the center of gravity as far away as possible thus making it harder. And also you forgot to bribe the judge. That alone is reason for disqualification! BTW, this is really impressive stuff considering that you have very limited experience with body weight training. Not to mention your weight, height and age. Edited August 15, 2018 by David_wigren 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
