I would suggest working on hip holds and jade.Take care of your wrist! Sometimes resting it is really important so you don't hurt it further. (I hurt my shoulder last May and I am just now begining to feel less careful and catious with it)

Hi chemgoddess, that's the outside leg hang climb – I was referring to the inside leg hang climb. It was described like this above:
"inside leg hang climbs: straight legged chopper, inside leg hang, tawny/inverted thigh hold, climb over your inside leg to have the pole on the same side, repeat. start over on the ground on your opposite side."
When I try it in my head I either break my back or my leg https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif

By tawny I think she meant Tammy. If you go from inside leg hang to this then you can twist your torso and climb over that hooked leg which was originally your inside leg. Does that make sense?

Well, it almost makes sense now https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
To climb over, where would I grip? Behind the knee of the hooked leg? And do I twist the upper body in the direction it came from the inside leg hang? So in the picture you posted, I would twist to face the right? And then I guess, I have to pull myself upright to do a chopper again ..

I wish I could remember the performance where Marlo did this. Basically it looks like you are doing a cartwheel on the pole, so if you start on one side you drop your body down straight and then pull up on the other side. Imagine a clock. Your leg is at 12:00 and your body is at 7:00. You would bring your body to 6 (Tammy) and then 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and pull yourself back up into 12:00. On an outside leg hang you would go from 7 to 8, 9, 10, 11, then 12.

Ah okay, so the upper body turns in the other direction, not the one it came from.
I found this video, it's a climb over in a crucifix position. Is it kind of what the climb over in the inverted thigh hold looks like?

Marlo does it really quick at about 0:35 in this video. I am trying to find the vid where she did about 3 of them in a row:

That looks really beautiful 🙂 I downloaded the video and can play it in slow motion so I can see what she's doing. This move is going on my "to learn"-list.
Thanks for the link and your patience with explaining the move https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

It looks like Marlo is switching from inside leg hang to opposite outside leg hang and monkey climb.

She never switches legs that are on the pole.
