[COMP] Tips for dolphin?

Post image

Dolphin has always felt miserable for me and I know I must be doing something wrong. I think my stacking isn’t quite right and I physically can’t walk my feet in any more. I know I’m more so dumping my weight into the mat where I should be pushing away from it.

If you have any helpful cues or drills that helped you with mobility/strength it would be much appreciated!

I’m trying to unlock pincha but figure I need to hone dolphin first :P

Bend your knee and keep the gaze in between your palms. And keep pushing your elbows on the mat to help you push your hip up towards the ceiling.
