Narrative:
On a beautiful VMC day was on the zzzzz arrival for the FMS visual approach X xxr. LNAV/VNAV path. Approaching zzzzz was given the third of three large speed reductions. Slowed prior to ZZZZZ1 to 230 then slowed to 210. Still able to remain on path. Inside of ZZZZZ2 told to further slow to 180 cleared for the FMS. The last speed change was too close to zzzzz to cross at 7;000 and 180. The pilot flying had not flown in 85 days and was slow to recognize I was slow at requesting relief for altitude at zzzzz and slow advocating max allowable flaps. The PF had flaps 5 set and max speed brakes applied trying to slow and go down. We crossed zzzzz at 180 but at approximately 7;400.
