Thank you all so much for the feedback. Tilting to one side helps a lot, but again never confident specially when falling backwards 🙁 I am reluctant to use grip aids… unless it is physically impossible to do without. Now Veena is supper long and slim, and she can do it! I hope she reads this post and shares her secret 😉

I will try pushing hips up constantly, I do it on and off as I remember, while I my thighs cramp up from so much contractrion LOL

Thanks again,

I am (or used to be) at an intermediate level. Had 2 babies in between! 😉 so when I recently got back, and following a progresive strenght program, I heard repetedly to have my dominant hand on top… but it just makes my life more complicated at this point.

I guess my question would now be, since it is ok to invert with the weak arm on top, is there a benefit? I assume since my spins are mostly easier on my dominat arm, inverting with the weak arm would balance some musclular training. But looking at a pro-level, would it be a problem in the long run? I haven’t tried advanced combos, but I hope one day. Having to re-learn at that level would be difficult, and even though we always should practice on both sides, when doing a demo we all choose our friendlier side 😉

Thank you all!

Thank you both for your replies. I do train everything on boths sides, or even more so on my weaker side to compensate. But I thought perhaps because of being upside down and safety concerns, they were correct about having the strongest on the top, such as in the Butterfly. It is just so much easier the other way for me. Gald to know I can continue 🙂
