Name this move?
I ended up in a move today that I haven't seen before and was wondering if anyone has
a) seen it (can you link me to a video or photo?)
b) done it before
and/or
c) knows what it is called?
I start getting into shoulder split from shoulder mount but hook the leg and then take my hands off. I've seen a bent leg shoulder split and a shoulder split with one hand on, but not handsfree.
No hands butterfly? Handsfree half shoulder split?
Help! 🙂

First of all, lovely trick and beautiful execution!! Congratulations!
Also, I love how structured your question is, lol https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif:
a) yes, I've seen it before in a YT vid, but unfortunately I can't remember which one. Lol, I've watched way too many vids https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif
b) I tried it some time ago, but gave up pretty quickly due to grip issues. I guess I'm just not ready for it yet
c) I've been calling it a (no hands) shoulder scorpio, but I'm sure there are more names for it out there (as is usually the case)

The Allegra?

Sorry.. What is the Allegra? xD
-
Oh, sorry.. and I found it in Veena's advanced lessons
-
I believe it’s called a shoulder mount lock. Great form by the way! Looks fab
-
WOW!!!! Amazing! Veena here's a new lesson to make! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
Hm this looks incredibly hard, good work!!
-
does the pole rest along the center of the chest or off to the side over a breast/collar bone???
-
Wow, that takes incredible grip on that leg! I love how this looks, I have never seen it before. Great job!
-
I have heard it called a "no handed butterfly" but I cannot recall who else does it. Also have something similar called "shoulder splits" (with legs extended, although I think one is still on the pole)
-
Looks beautiful, btw!!

I don't know but…wow, it's awesome https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

Thanks Hannah, it feels like a SM lock, so good name.
Katana, the pole sits on the shoulder and side of the neck, just like in part of the shoulder mount to legs on the pole combo. At first I was holding it by squeezing between my neck and shoulder, but I worked at it a bit to relax and square my shoulders so there was less angled hunching. My breasts are both on the same side of the pole, no tissue damage 🙂 There is a variation where you roll through over the collarbone and you hold it along your breastbone and bared stomach, but I can't take my hands off in it.
Jenn, I have seen and tried shoulder splits, it's with the ankle hooked…but I can only get one hand off in it and haven't seen two hands off, but with the right angles and flexibility it's probably been done. Much more dangerous though, neither the hands or the legs are poised to catch a fall :S Also, my lines aren't flat in it, so I don't like it…:P
