I have always loved this move, adding to faves.
My favourite resting pose to do after my favourite climb, the side climb! Curious to watch this and see how it can help with inverts 😮
Hello Veena , I just Love love this move.
Can’t seem to get the arm and knee pit in place… am I pointing my toes up to lock the knee pit in place? Will try again tomorrow.
A video of your attempts would be helpful for troubleshooting. For now make sure you’ve watch the entire figurehead tutorial and if this was your first few attempts know that it’s normal to not have things click right away. The armpit grip is most important and using the straight legs to push into the pole will help too. This isn’t a knee pit only trick. Does that make sense?
Ok I see how the armpit kind of slides enough to grab your skin!! I’m on my period and it hurts a little so that’s the part I was missing. Thanks a bunch!
No problem! Yeah I’m more sensitive during my period too 🥺
