Proper depth, no kicks, high lock off. No fluff. Some twisting, but that's ok with a finger in a sling right?

Agree with Nibs, this is equivalent to a half twist so cannot constitute an FOA. I think it would be pretty difficult to do a proper form FOA on a sling to be honest. HOWEVER, fucking hell, streng...   :strongbench:

Good progress.




Particularly happy about speed and starting from hanging.
Tried on the edge but it was boiling and I was afraid to be spit off. Strong in the first half though, painful from mid lock up so sacked it.

looking good! nice work going from dead hang too. I have been making progress as well and I have found that I can much more easily initiate movement from straight arm when I am front on than when I am side on, has anyone else found this? I will post a video at some point I imagine.
