StellarMotion - Great job! If you flex through the quadriceps and pull up with the shoulders, it will make your underarm grip more secure and will help to beautify the move. Now that you're past the pain barrier, you can do all kinds of neat things with that underarm grip.

blondebird - Thanks for your advice! What do you mean flex through the quadriceps though?

MissHoneyrider - David,Do you push your hip forward?

TOKYO - wow"!!! great ! its toooo painful for me even that position, can not stay... wonderful job!

halfjack - wooo! well done! :D and yeah...looked PAINFUL. but so pretty!

StellarMotion - Hi Blondebird! What I mean is that if you pull against your hands with the muscles on the top of your thigh, the tension will give your body a nice bowed, rounded shape. I don't push my hips forward, but the hips automatically go forward by themselves when the body is bowed by the quadriceps tension. This puts the whole side against the pole, so you don't have to rely just on the underarm.

TOKYO - we call this Chinese superman!
