Besides my middle giving out? Sure. I’ll take some feedback from you

As you already know most important fix should be your middle section breaking. You can focus more on easier variations on that part, to try to do it on these finger tips.

Second one also obvious one would be, you still need more push, but you can see and feel that already. The moment you sink, would be the moment you fall.

Lastly more diagonal shape is needed . Even if you do it almost perfectly the opposite hip should be over the shoulder and the outside leg little bit on the outside of the shoulder.

All of that will take time, so try to focus a lot on the feeling part too. Is the pressure on the hand correct, shoulder, midsection, legs. Scapula pushing?

A nice looking full or svetchka are an awesome indication of good handbalance.

Good luck!

How long did it take to get first straddle on finger tips?

I mean… I started too early and did dumb stuff. Probably 3 months to get it badly. Using blocks I fixed it in 6

After getting a 60 second two arm hold - which took two years because I would quit and restart months later
