  Deadlifts

  Posted by sexypolenerd on December 12, 2013 at 3:08 pm

  Hi Everyone! Long time lurker, first time poster!

  I have mental block/fear when it comes to swinging a leg up into a handspring or cartwheel. Same with handstands. I have solid ayeshas, but for some reason handsprings scare me. So instead I decided to take a different approach and learn to “deadlift” into Ayeshas using various grips.

  Can anyone give me any tips and suggests on how to prep for deadlifts?

  Thanks!

  I posted this for someone else with the same question. Here is a video detailing the steps you need. First, solid ayeshas (which you say you have! yay!) A solid lifted shouldermount is helpful, it is the same muscles. Second, learn to Iron-X and lift back up into it. Then Learn to come all the way down and stop at the bottom. Learn to stand next to the pole, top arm engaged, bottom arm bent, and press out into a hold. Once you can do that, do mini side crunches in that position. If you can do these, you can deadlift 🙂 http://youtu.be/JqnWKTK198M Let me know if this helps or if you need clarification!
