Anyone got any good conditioning exercises for the over the shoulder split and apprentice?
I’m trying to learn the over the shoulder split. I can get my leg over my shoulder but I cannot extend it without help. As long as someone else straightens my leg I can do it, but I cannot straighten my own leg to save my life.
It’s the same for the split grip invert/apprentice. If my leg is already hooked on the pole (ie. doing it aerially from a gemini first), or if someone lifts my leg to the pole so I can hook my ankle, I’m OK, but I cannot lift my own leg high enough to hook my ankle on the pole.
Since having other people manipulate me into moves is probably not a good long term solution, I was wondering if anyone had some suggestions on conditioning/stretches for these moves? Any help would be much appreciated. 🙂
