Alethea’s batwing

ah, i understand now. If thats the case, i think its purely a matter of strength. you shouldn't need your bottom hand to grab your bottom thigh in order to hold the position. thats more "decoration" to make it look symmetrical. you should be able to hold the position with both elbows hooked, and just grabbing your top thigh. keep at it, don't give up!

Great, thanks for clearing that up for me! 🙂 I havent done a lot of elbow work (still working on elbow grip ayesha) so may have to break that skin in more.
Also what are the points of contact? Is it the elbow pit of left and right arms plus the back or can you do it without exposing the skin on your back? Xxx

Points of contact are both elbow pits and mid back. I use my back as more of a supportive ‘brace’ and am mostly holding it with the elbows. I always suggest mastering an elbow grip Allegra on both sides before trying batwing. That really helps break in your elbows and teaches them how to hold you for batwing.

Hi Pokeyd,
Thanks for the tips! 🙂
I tried it again last night this time grabbing top thigh hard and tensing both elbows and held it… only for about a second cos the pain on my back and elbows was like OMG :/
Thats something I will keep working on to build up on my resistance and pain threshold. 🙂 x
