Superman

I will add that if you cannot pull yourself upright on the pole from an invert do not attempt this move.
Going from outside leg hang I found it easier to go into side V first and then flip the hips (if this helps anyone).

This is how I teach it, from a side V….If you want to work on it lower go for it….just slide down after you invert so your bottom arm is on the floor and flip. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif -
Anyone who was in Friday chat in the spring time of last year knows how long I struggled with this move omg i was sooo frustrated! TaraKarina has a superman tutorial which was on youtube a while ago and I’m not sure if it’s still up, but she did it on the ground by just laying stomach down on the floor with the pole between your legs, reaching back and just lifting your feet up. I did that first to make sure I could actually hold myself in the position…I also suffer from sweaty hands so I don’t do it in my videos a lot because if my right hand is sweaty I can’t let go of my bottom arm unless I want to face plant.
When Veena was helping me in chat she was showing me how to do it from gemini but for some reason I almost always go into from an invert, StellarMotion showed me how to do it from inverted thigh hold but I can only exit the superman with inverted thigh hold, not get into it! That’s so weird. I’m working on the superman fall now which is a whole separate list of problems for me!
The only reason I couldn’t get into it was because I wasn’t arching my back enough to balance myself, one day I realized that and I arched my back and got it the first try..which was actually my 320729364th attempt since I had started learning it….I’m a slow learner, what can I say!
