Limited speed when alternate picking

Description

While I can do 150bpm or 160 with a single note, I feel like I can’t crack 120ish when doing 2 notes per string runs (ala Eric Johnson). It seems my default primary motion is DSX. Also, my wrist is anchored so it looks like my picking angle changes as I move up to the higher strings. Any thoughts on how I can get past this 120ish max? Am I limited by my picking technique or do things look right and I just need to keep practicing? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Craig
