It's the Veena Tumble! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif different than the Jenyne tumble, only the leg hold/start position is the same. The one in the video you posted of me, has an added shoulder mount flip to the beginning of it, so you will have to learn the Veena Tumble first in order to catch yourself!!! The body and arms are doing very differnt thing than for the Jenyne variation. I'm not going into brass monkey at all, your body and leg is across the pole so brass monkey wont be an option. I will make a slow motion vid of my tumlbe sometime. Here is an OLD video of my tumble https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/42f26c86-b88e-11df-856f-001b214581be.

I'm making you all a video that will hopefully help you see the difference between a headstand, elbowstand, forearmstand, and handstand. Then I need to get back to work on hooping lessons! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

Oh one more thought!! You could go DOWN and not UP. I mean…. what if you had the poles put into the ground/flloor instead of attached to the ceiling. This studio Body Blast has it and then the poles are removable and REALLY easy to install when you need them. They are pretty tall and very sturdy! Here is what it looks like https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/72a0f8a2-b88f-11df-856f-001b214581be

I don't know that I would say your back should be vertical but if it helps you can think of needing to bring your crotch into the pole. LOL I think your taking the lessons right? If so how many reps can you do in the Knee Tuck? The hold used and muscles are very similar to the V Invert. If your inverting with the hands too high or body away from the pole you wont be able to bring the hips up as easily. Your Basic Invert should be strong and controlled before attempting the V variation,

I hope to see lots of videos!!!!!

Have you looked into permanent poles? When going real high with multiple poles that might be your best bet. Was is Marrkstar?…or Markkstar? not sure of the spelling, that some of the members ordered from and they like them. .

Ah yes, after a shower would be good too!
Thanks for posting the blog review amy!https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

I agree with amy on all of the points she talked about. If you go back to the lesson you'll see a close look at arm placement and my suggestions for the hands as well. Having your hands flat with fingers spread will give you a nice base. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

Oh lol well good luck. Hope you find the lesson helpful!
-
I know I'm late…but I would check with a dr as the others suggested and also make sure your not holding your breath when you invert. Good luck!

I'm having a hard time deciding!! Too many songs and costumes!!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Oh I should also add you will not be able to hold or be close to the base of the pole/wall if your deadlifting with straight legs, because the hips have to move way beyond the shoulders 🙂

You don’t have to be a gymnast to deadlift from an elbowstand, I can do it with straight legs or v legs. Your balance points are different in the headstand than the elbow! Headstand you can lift up even if your weight is a bit forward the forearm however you have to have your butt/hips over your head/shoulders you also have to place the elbows right and the shoulders must be engaged, hamstring and shoulder flexibility is needed and triceps and core strength will help you control the move. I go over all of this in the lesson….. Elbowstands like handstands and forearmstands take time!!!!! Don’t expect to master this in a few tries!
