Please understand, this is not the first invert you should learn; use my Invert tutorial first! I'll show you a few options for entering this trick.
The Deadlift (hips in front and lifting with no momentum) is the most advanced, and working on this will help you when it's time to learn aerial inverts. Keep in mind, the chopper (deadlifting) isn't the most efficient way to invert; it's one of the more tiresome inverts and is an advanced intermediate move.
I think deadlifting into inverts on static pole is overrated! It's also a common reason why pole dancers have upper back and rib pain. If you haven't yet, check out my Ultimate Guide to Inverts series.

The step and sweep I can do no problem! I think that’s a pretty way.
Yeah, I rarely deadlift. 🙃
