Hey guys,
so after a long while without tumbling, I've decided to finally get back to it and try this back tuck thing one more time.
My coach says, it's technically pretty okay and that i'm just slow. This is really difficult for me to grasp cause whenever I try to be faster, I neglect the set and whip straight backwards or I start rotating my shoulders to the front in an effort to tuck faster.
This is where I am as of right now:

Now I've been googling and found this video:
Could this be something that would help me tuck faster, meaning it's my hip flexors that are too weak? I really want to find something specific that I can work on.
I must add that it was an exception that I was able to use springfloor that day. We don't have any equipment besides hardfloor mats in our gym so I don't have access to anything but that.
I'm willing to put in the work at home to strengthen whatever bodypart that might be the problem.
