Slowly but surely making some progress. I got the forearm backbend! Something just clicked and I got it … I also found an easier way to get into it without upsetting my lower back. Upper back and shoulders feel good. Focused on stretching my over-straddle to get my pancake – made a huge difference but my belly isn’t quite there yet. Middle splits are … middle splits. I also need to the get the angle right when using my phone. Sorry!
Your forearm backbend is looking really good! So glad you found your way to get into it! Now you just have to put your feet flat on the ground and lift your hips.
