    I feel more comfortable in my split grip but can only do extended butterfly so far (can get up into it from a v cradle spin, which feels cool!) but haven't gotten both legs off in it yet 🙁 In your profi8le pic you look like your legs are almost off! I must try the inverted D

    yeaa i was so close to getting my feet off with the inverted D!  

    I'm working on getting into the butterfly/extended butterfly from the apprentice…. so hard but I've nearly done it so will be jumping to joy when I can do it properly https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

     

    I personally find the inverted D easier then the extended butterfly so if you can do the EB hopefully you wont find the inverted D too hard 🙂 good luck

    Thanks!! I just figured out while being random how to get from a cradle V spin into extended butterfly… I Wonder of thats similar? While in the position I get my upper ankle against the pole and push up and twist my entire body around (while still in split grip) and end up facing the pole in EB… sounds similar! If it is, its FUN FUN! haha.

    I shall try Inverted D tomorrow… hubby is home with me so can spot me so I don't fall back haha

    yea apprentice is the same positioning as cradle but with the apprentice you're not spinning, maybe I will try it from cradle… might be easier with a bit of momentum?? 

     

    I looove my split grips so love doing any moves with it https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
