thanks for sharing, I'm definitely going to try this. My grip is always better in winter cos obviously it's colder so this is gonna be a great thing to try in time for summer sweatiness 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

[HannahElizabeth]

congrats https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif took me a while to get the pole sit properly so sounds like your progressing fast

 

Dont feel silly about sharing your achievements, people here are always really supportive and like know, we've all been through the same so everyone can relate 😀

I really like Sarahs combos and I'm just drooling over her shoulder mount and TG lifts! lol Heres another vid of hers which hows the SM and TG really really: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQDJiqJN9GY&feature=related

 

I think she sometimes looks really bored though 🙁 Maybe it's too easy for her  https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

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

 

[HannahElizabeth]

ooh ok thanks for the tip 😀 

Can you do split grip aysha? I really want to get my split grip, I find elbow and forearm grips really hard  https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif

 

Hopefully I'l be able to get the elbow grip now I know to be a bit off centre https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

[HannahElizabeth]

yey! nice one Shellectra, that look coool! I must try this tonight, I want my aysha so much!

[HannahElizabeth]

Tarah, I had a few problems in that I was getting my arm stuck too. I found that when inverting, try to make sure you pull up as much as possible so you can get your leg wrapped as high as you can. That way there is room for your leg to slide down a little nearer your hand without restricting your movement

[HannahElizabeth]

thanks for posting and answering this thread. I have real trouble with the caterpillar too and am thinking that perhaps it's cos I'm too centered too. I'm gonna try it tonight

Thanks ladies  https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

[HannahElizabeth]

thanks girls!

I do like the look of the advanced cupid but if theres a risk of putting too much strain on my knees I don't think I'll do it as my knees are weak as it is 🙁

I've also tried not holding on but found I didn't have enough grip with my leg which was why I though maybe its too low.

I will try and though and persevere! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

EDIT:

 

that was also meant to say – is the leg thats round the pole pointing down too much? Or is that the right position?

 

(ahh Veena where's the edit button gone? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif)

 

Thanks peeps!

I've seen it called dangerous brian in quite a few different places. Perhaps either everyone has copied the same source that misspelt it… or it's just a silly name https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

 

 

[HannahElizabeth]

I wish I could do the splits 🙁 I'm working on it though so hopefully soon i'll be able to do down splits from cupid!

[HannahElizabeth]

yes I can butterfly 🙂 

I'll try these out, thanks ladies

Evarut – that sounds like a challenge, I havent done the move Marley yet but I'll definitely give the rest of it a go!

[HannahElizabeth]

I followed a yoga stretching video that is very similar to the one Svarri has recommended. It was very intense and I did feel so much more flexy afterwards. It does work wonders!
