  Please help me identify this move…

  It’s a hands free chopper/v invert – a hip hold pike but legs in V –
  HOWEVER without arm pit lock – you do a hands free chopper normally with arm pit lock – and then grab ankles. So no armpit hold. And balance.

  Is it a Hercules?

  Thanks in advance, can’t find it anywhere…

  I think it’s just a pike hip hold variation, open legs not closed – with body twisted to utilise full hip/side lock and release arms. You don’t have to hold ankles, it was just somewhere to put hands to make the lines nice and increase hip hold security.

  I’d vid but have had 3 glasses of wine so bad plan…

  Yes, you can do a hip hold without using the back of the armpit, and I don’t usually give everything new names so I would just call it a hip hold variation. 🙂
