Thank you so much! I think I understand better what my body is supposed to be doing lol but I’m just not there yet. I’m gonna keep working on general deadlift training + abs and bottom arm stability. It really is so much harder to hold a split grip without facing the pole 😩

No worries, thanks for getting back to me! Yeah, the torso orientation is really throwing me off. Like, in the image, it looks like there’s more space for the head to hang back and when I do it, it just seems like I’m almost there but not quite. I overtrained last week and had to give my shoulders a break and now I’m kind of wondering if this pose would be possible in true or cup grip, because I can only attempt twisted grip so many times before my shoulders are like “hey, stop it.†Lol. Here’s what it looked like when I tried today

Ooh interesting! I’ll keep this in mind next time I try, maybe that’s what I’ve been doing wrong. Also, is the spacing the same as it’d be if I’m facing the pole in true split grip? I almost feel like I should have my hands just a little closer together to create space for my head/I can’t tell if I want my shoulders to be parallel to the ground or a little more uneven. I’ve tried both ways and can’t tell what’s easier. This one is a challenge. When I’ve seen it in video it sometimes looks like the chest is more to the side kind of like a flag/iron X and not completely away from the pole.

Sorry I’m not sure if there’s another name for it, but this is what it looks like
