Chopper Invert Drill for Pole Dance, Teapot Invert, Just the Tips

[@Madalen802]

THANK YOU!!!! I have been poling for years and even though I technically have my chopper, I have always felt weak and heavy in it, thought I needed to develop more core or arms strength. I tried being a teapot yesterday during practice, and chopper felt easy, to the point that I actually even managed it aerially, on my bad side, and with one leg (almost) straight from the ground. It is crazy the difference that one little change in technique can make, so for this, thank you so much!

This helped so much, it’s just the push up with the hips at the end for me!

Omg IT WORKED! I DID IT!! Thank you so much for this tutorial, it's so detailed and easy to understand. I finally did my 1st invert without having to pull or use all of my strength to get my hips up. I've done it 3 or 4 times because I wanted to be sure haha. But I do revise that I after I started to have a bit of back pain , although it didn't hurt or feel tough throughout the movement... any thoughts of what I may be doing wrong to cause the back pain?

[@Moxy_Movement]

Wow Jayaa, we are so happy to hear about your success!! Thank you for watching and practicing with us. The back pain you are referencing is common for those learning pole inverts. It's likely having to do with shoulder alignment and engagement being proper as you do the move - if this is not 100% it can compensate painfully in these other areas. I recommend taking a slow approach to building up the shoulders & latissimus/rhomboids specifically, to help stabilize. Go slow but find a spot or other support and listen to your body. Listening to your body's ques will always be the best approach, back off of painful things, and know that as you practice and get stronger you will mitigate the pain. This would be a great video to make, too! We look forward to sharing more helpful content posting regularly starting next week, we hope you will join us there! Please let us know what other tips you would love to learn about, and keep up the great work!! 💫💪😃

We are so glad to hear!! xo

[@courtneyboud4611]

Definitely the hardest move. Wish I could get it down!

[@Moxy_Movement]

As far as we remember, you were killing it in the choppers!!!💪

[@kriskadesir3629]

Hi! My teachers have always said that our butts should be in front of the pole when we invert. I notice that when you hook into your hip crease, your butt is behind the pole. If we’re hooking into the hip (standing), is it okay to have the butt behind the pole?

[@theredd_onetv]

How are you popping your hips up like that? 😭

[@Moxy_Movement]

It's also helpful to think about first REALLY pulling your knees towards your shoulders!! Keep practicing Darling, you can do it! xoxo
