I-POLE Move Of The Month: Split Grip Preparation Exercises 4 Your Advanced Inverts!

These are some things i decided to put together, to help those who want to learn, or maybe are struggling while already trying to learn, the split grip, for the aysha, the straight edge, levitating brass monkey, etc. The split grip for me, is the tougest grip, and the last one i learned, aside from the handspring, which you go into, already in the split grip, not much thought goes into it there, but in a move like the aysha and straight edge from the pole, it's more difficult, and deserves ample discussion. i have preps for every grip, but wanted to share this grip as my 'move of the month', and hopefully these exercises, might be able to help someone out. It helps teach you about the grip itself, gaining balance, and aquiring strength, while slowly progressing to your goal. Good luck and have a great day! xoxo ps- questions, advice, friendly chit chat, and more available, at our online community...sign up, it's FREE: www.ipole.tv. thanks for watching.

i love your way of teaching. me too, not that strong!!! but will remember! x

[exdiva69]

sweetness, you WILL get there i promise, and you can try the first one, where you have ALOT of control over yourself, so if you need to clamp your foot lock on nice and tight so less pressure coming down onto your body, you can do that quite easilly, but it will help you get used to the grip and gain strength At the very least..(i can garuntee), just don't move on to the other two variations (exercises) until you feel totally confident, but you are the bomb..luv ya girl. xoxo shel

awesome shelly, thank you so much for posting this, i'm frustrated because i can't do this, but you really helped reinforce the importance of taking your time and building strength, looking forward to more tips :) x

[exdiva69]

YEAH...i sware, i always rushed and now that i see how that could not only injure you, but frustrate the hell out of you. i learned, it is important to take baby steps, stop and smell the roses, before you pick 'em, if that makes any sense, lol. coming up with clique's now, but it is better to progress slowly, you may get the move faster, by gaining strength the proper way, that is why i backtrack for others benefit:) wish i had done that b4, but soo glad it helped, come join the board:) xoxo

okay, I'm goin to be 41-years-old in a couple months.  i just took on the pole several months ago. this video by far is one of the most informative in terms of preparation and strengthening for this grip. Does this exercise also help in preparation for the twisted grip hand-spring? or do you have a different instructional video for that? Thank you so much for putting this video out. I really wish there were more out there like this.

[exdiva69]
