so i have been working in my invert from a basic deadlift position you could say. i achieved it once, but haven't really been able to since. hahaaha. any recommendations on improving strength or should i just keep working on knee tucks. this is the one move that is just frustrating me beyond belief.

Knee tucks, bicep hold, pole holds, When you do knee crunches hold them at the top. planks

Can I ask why you feel you need to do a deadlift invert?
Thank you garynnnjb. I've been working on those. I'll keep working lol. Veena honestly I've just seen them in videos and I just thought is be best to try and learn that. I honestly don't have an answer lol.

Am asking because they require far more strength than a basic invert and I don't want anyone to think it's something that you HAVE to learn unless. They are great for advancing on to aerial inverts, but depending on your level if deadlifts are focused on too much injury is common. Despite what some may say controlled momentum isn't a bad thing. :)
Awhh so smart. I didn't think of it in that context. I'm still definitely a beginner/intermediate and ice been focusing app much on that that I'm starting to get frustrated with myself lol. Thanks Veena.

Hmmmm..I don't even think I have a deadlift V invert lesson! The V invert is not as difficult as a full deadlift and you'll find the V invert towards the end of the intermediate section, and you can see I do still push off with the foot and keep the knees tucked. I would place a deadlift invert in advanced. :) I will put that on my new lesson list!!!
Is a deadlift invert an invert with v legs without the tuck part? Just wondering I was confused as I was reading

Deadlift is, no push, hips in front of pole and legs straight the whole time. It's number 5 in this video https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/53723d53-4e68-47e7-b77a-0eec0a9aa0eb
Ok, thank you!

I should add that even the tuck invert when done with hips in front and no push from any foot is also a deadlift.
Ok! Makes sense now
I find deadlift inverting a little more difficult in pole than other aerial arts because your hips have to be in front on the pole and that naturally Puts you in more of an arched position than hollow body, at least for me. You really have to concentrate to tuck the pelvis and lift with your abs and not just the legs. Because I believe it's easier with a more centered body, I'd work on conditioning on a pull-up bar. toes to bar, or tuck ups with bent arms really helps with dead-lift inverts. Dragon flags too.
That's a great idea. What are dragon flys?
I had to do negatives for months before I could get a full dragon flag. And I was already pretty strong, so they're definitely something to work up to with baby steps.
Omg that looks intense I will have to start training. I definitely need to improve my strength in a lot of aspects.
