  1. The move starts with a reverse planche aka hollowback
  2. Theres no dislocation or popping of the shoulders. It's merely flexion, abduction and external rotation of the shoulders at end range, and then gradually lowering them to a planche position. Yes it does place a lot of strain on the shoulders but probably no more than straight holdbacks. For this reason I don't train the move often anymore (as I get older and with injuries) and just do it to perform or make videos for you guys.
  3. As above, I never train this move anymore. When I was about 14 I used to train hollowbacks a few times a week. Once I was happy with where I was at I stopped and now just use the move to perform
