    It sounds like you are trying a basic invert? From your description is sounds like you have the hand placement etc right. Is there any chance you could do a vid for us so we can see how you need to tweak it?

    when it comes to flipping myself upside down, if im standing with my left arm to the pole, my right arm is the one i put on top while my left is on the bottom, and i HAVE to kick with my right leg, which in this case is my outter leg

    Okay so let me check this is correct…
    You are standing to the RIGHT of the pole (as, the pole is on YOUR LEFT – so your left armpit is closest to the pole). Right?
    Your left arm is the ‘bent’ and is gripping the pole underneath your right arm – which is your OUTSIDE arm.
    You then swing up your right leg, which is your outside leg, and try to hook it?

    If I interpreted that correctly – then you are standing in an acceptable position.

    I say acceptable coz everything works differently for other people. My right hand is also my dominant in most moves – as usually on top – except in inverts it is my lower hand. So I do the opposite to you (I think) – because I stand on the other side of the pole, so my RIGHT armpit is nearest the pole and I kick up my left leg.

    Left or right doesn’t really matter. Just inside or outside. Watch these youtube vids for more help

    Skip the first 2 mins of promo and rules — This girl inverts on the same side as me http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=uBJ_lR_yxJA
    This girl inverts on the same side as you (I think) — and has amazing distracting boobs hahahahaha — http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=AjmX0mtj9_M

    If you see other videos where someone is doing an invert you want to copy – Pause it every couple of seconds and ask yourself "which hand is she using? (inside or outside?) which leg did she kick? (inside or outside) does she stand on the same side as me?" Dissecting moves like this is the best way to check you’re doing it right, if you don’t have a teacher.

    Wow thanks guys for all your help<3! im starting to think that i need to be a little stronger, so i can hold myself in position upside down without feeling like im gonna fall, which will give me time to put my leg in the correct position. yes Georgia you got it completely right. couldnt have put it better myself. if i put my pole up today, ill try and get a video in hopefully. but thanks alot for your help! very appreciated! <333333 https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_king.gif
