Today you'll learn about different grips and positions for the upper body when inverting. These are just a few of the most popular options—there are always variations. Then you'll work on your active front splits flexibility, which will improve your invert!
Pro tip: I rarely use a chokehold (deadlift) when inverting. The exception is inverting aerially, and sometimes it's fun to play around with super slow inverts, which then require a deadlift. Using a controlled momentum invert allows you to work on tricks that require an invert as their start, without wearing yourself out by deadlifting over and over in a pole session or performance.
Allow the videos to play in order and follow along. Feel free to pause anytime you need to.

Oh this is a super helpful video, and actually the reason I'm in the invert program. I was able to do the inverts for intermediate level 2, but I did not feel like it was very controlled. I figured it was better to start the 30 day invert program doing the inverts and practice them being more controlled. I was getting up, but sort of flailing like a fish and falling down
Yeah, flopping down often leads to back pain. 💜
