This is a great post, I think a lot of beginners want to do this move because, I must admit/agree, it looks so cool!!!
BUT, bear in mind the reverse grab (or dislocator) is NOT a beginner spin! I would adivse you to practice the chair spin a great deal and focus on strengthening your lats (under the armpits) until you feel like you can do a chair spin practically one handed. There is a lot of torque and weight involved in the reverse grab and without proper muscle control you can seriously injure your shoulder. Please be very careful, make strength training a priority, and don’t get ahead of yourself! If your chair spin doesn’t feel smooth and easy, you should not be trying the reverse grab.
As Veena always says: shoulders back and down ladies, back and down…
