    Inverted crucifix for me too! For some reason as soon as I let go, I get scared that I’m going to slip.

    Superman… I just can’t find a position where it doesn’t hurt as hell.

    I thought it would also be shoulder mount, but today I noticed a little progress 🙂

    Basic Invert 🙁 

    Its sad! My legs do manage to get far enough into the air to touch the pole, but then I crash back down.

    Right now mine are the Superman and the Icarus. In the Superman I am SO close, I just can't get my butt to flip over and I don't feel secure with my top hand. I feel like I'm pretty close with the Icarus too….it just never fails that everytime I try as soon as I get my neck into position on the pole I lose all grip in my knee pit and can't get it back. UGH so frustrating.

    Mine is elbow grip Aysha, freaks me out and that $*&#*  handstand, even basic to the wall.  One of these days!

    Aerial inverts. One day I did it nearly 10 times in a row, but now I maybe get up once every 10 times I try. So frustrated.

    Other than the stupid superman ?

    Probably doesnt count but my biggest nemisis is the pile of toys and massive tote of legos that got confiscated from the kid for bad behavior… and the only place they could go was in the corner of our room rendering my pole useless…its going to be a loooong two weeks because this mama is literally grounded 🙁

    Stupid Janerio!!!! Can't get my butt around the pole and keep missing the "shelf" that the arm creates!   Also the Machine gun…Similar problem! My Titanic is on and off too, never consistant, no problem on brass pole at one studio, and a total fail at another on chrome…sigh!

    @ serena…I find the aerial invert hit and miss as well.  Actually I did it on spin mode and it seems easier!  Give it atry, the key is bringing your knees in front of the pole kind of sideways.  Check out my latest video.  And GOOD LUCK!

    That russian split, flying K, Oona splits..whatever you call it– every time I try it I hurt myself.  I might be letting that one go.

    Twisted grip stuff. I think my shoulders are pretty strong and I can Iron X in other grip but I just can barely do anything in TG without getting sore in my shoulders.

    Currently, my Straight Edge from elbow grip. It feels so close but yet evading me! I am going to be so excited when I get there! Also I'd say my handspring prep from cup or split grip is going to be my long-term nemesis move :/ Either my lower arm isn't strong enough or I'm just not string enough in my core for this one which kinda bums me out!

    Marion Amber and Flag Invert are both super hit or miss for me also! Sometimes I go up effortlessly and other times I'm not even close 🙁

    @Alicia, the shelf in the machine gun… I have to bend forward REALLY REALLY far to get myself in the correct position. The pole also has to be lower down in my thigh than I would normally place it in a standard pole sit.
