Above is a link - she does an invert after the handstand with a forearm-wrap-around grip. So I have two questions:

1) is there a name for this?
2) any prep ideas or tips for it? From what I've observed, it seems like this invert should be performed "sideways" (as in the video) - i.e. you tip sideways for the rotation to get hips above head, not backwards as with a basic invert (if that makes sense...?) Any other insight? I do find starting from the floor (on me knees) helps quite a bit.

I've heard it called "lever grip invert" and "funny grip invert". You can do it sideways or backwards. I've done it a few times into brass monkey, though it's not my fave entry.

Here is Linsey lithe doing it to brass monkey

Also the top hand can be in cup or true grip. :) I think that's about all my knowledge on the subject 😬

That is super helpful - it gives me more to work on. Thanks!

Here's an old video of me doing this from the ground if that helps. [www.studioveena.com]
