Downsplits/Special K/Oona splits tutorials or prep exs?

CapFeb started this discussion · 8/10/2012

This is one of my dream moves. The ones where when I go to sleep and dream about pole, I can feel my body doing it. But when I get to pole I can't actually do it, or get anywhere close. I've been unable to find any tutorials anywhere on how to do this move. I'm assuming split excercizes are necessary for prep, but I have no idea how one practices the grip saftely without a spotter. Suggestions?

Each time I practice this I am able to lean out a bit further. I will say this is one move that I did not attempt without a spotter the first couple of times. Now I practice it alone. I think a lot of people practice it from the floor first. I didn't like it from the floor, but had a strong downsplit on the pole before I tried it.
