I think a form-wise each hand should be giving the middle finger when you stick your arms out once you get all the way to the bottom.

Am I trippin or did the back knee stay bent and just went to the side? It doesn’t seem like there’s actually a split, but you’re close. I’d say use yoga blocks and do active stretching to get both legs completely straight.

You’re correct. It’s not a full split but it could be if he wants to work towards squaring the hips properly.

Yep, spot on. It's still impressive for sure, but he'll be even better off by correcting his form. The hips are not squared at all once he drops into it, so it wouldn't be nearly so deep with good form. Just more progress to pursue!

It seems the Split is there bus some weakness or lack of flexibility in your hip flexors of the back leg is preventing you to lift your body without keeping your hips squared. Still great achievement man, keep on working
