It presents a comfortable leg-hand style grip to set up a wide range of inverted moves and creates a beautiful transition itself. To get into this move, you need to be comfortable inverting, but you only need to know how to do a proper pole sit and forearm grip shelf to achieve proper form. __ **Safety Tips - Be sure to give yourself some height (two pole climbs at least) with this move because you will be inverted with your arms out. If you don’t give yourself enough room, you may bump your head on the floor. - Your ankles should always be crossed once inverted to give you support on the pole. This helps your knee squeeze into the pole and provide extra grip. __ **Common Mistakes (View more on website) I’m Struggling to Keep My Knee Grip: If you’re struggling with knee grip on the pole while inverted, make sure your ankles are crossed and locked. Pushing your hips forward will also help you maintain grip in the knee. You should feel secure here. My Inverted Grip Is Slipping: If you can’t hold yourself up in the grip for brass monkey, you may find that engaging the shoulders staying strong throughout the movement helps. If you struggle with this, handstand pushups or shoulder presses can help strengthen this area. You will find that it is the same principle as the inside arm grip; you must squeeze your arm into the pole and not hang loosely from any joints. Your weight should be comfortable to hold in this position. ________________________ Do not attempt any of the suggested activities found on this website without first consulting your medical professional, or if you are in poor health.
