Anatomy of the No Kick Invert

Let's look at the biomechanics of our pole dance invert to straddle / invert to chopper. This video is taken from my blog post 'Anatomy of the Pole Invert' which you can find here: www.thepolept.com/strength-fo...
This video is part of an online pole training programme provided by the Pole PT.

I'm loving these videos! I like that you show common "wrong" positions. For me, it shows me what I should and shouldn't be feeling in a particular move and why. Thanks so much! 🤓💞

[@ThePolePT]

Thank you! I'm so glad it helps. 😘

So glad I found this channel! Exactly what I needed: anatomy and physics of these movements. Really helps to not get discouraged, because I have a good strength and mobility foundation but couldn't understand why these "basic" moves were so hard. If all makes sense! It's Science!!! 😀

[@ThePolePT]

So glad it was useful, thank you! ❤

In my head this is how I experience live, so it's great to see someone making a video like this. The nerd in me is jumping for joy bc i love poling.

[@ThePolePT]

Yay! Thank you so much! 🥰

[@awsheit]

This helps so much when I'm going to the gym so I know what to work on

[@ThePolePT]

Ah yay! Thank you! I'm so glad it helps! :)

[@rainerwells1573]

Amazing ! The explanations help with mind body connection

[@ThePolePT]

Yay! Thank you! :)

[@mw7845]

I really enjoyed watching your video. It was interesting. My wife likes to pole dance in 8 and 10 inch platform heels.

LOVE THIS

Whenever I do my inverts it looks like the top of my back is arched for the entire movement. Once I'm in that pull-up position I've already started arching my back, and that continues through to the straddle position. Not sure how to engage my upper back but I will work on that. Thanks for the video!

[@radiovive9615]

Whyyy is this in my recommended? Is it destiny?

[@lilmizzfoxy]

Thisb is helpful, thanks.

[@wenmoves]

Is upper back engagement the same as when they say "open your chest"?

[@ThePolePT]

Yep, I'd say that's probably trying to cue the same thing! :)

[@extrm161]

Nice

[@aidaprct]

How do you correct the rounded back? Engaging the dorsals?

[@toosessyformycat]

What are the best upper back exercises for invert strength?

[@ThePolePT]

Sorry for the slow response! I usually prioritise horizontal pulling exercises for the invert - bent rows and suspension trainer rows are a couple of my faves! 💪

[@ttjay2455]

Hip flexors still not ready 😞

[@ThePolePT]

Stay patient and consistent. One day they will be ready and the magic will happen. :) 💪

You lost me at "Core strength"
