Hello!
This month’s sequence is quite a challenge, but I love it 😀
I’ve started working on it this week and really bruised my arms, so I have to take a break for a few days.
It’s still early and hopefully I will get better during the month but I have a few questions. I also made a collage video of my struggles and uploaded it to my Silksstars profile.
1.) I’m not sure if my wrapped arm is in the right position because I’m not able to release the left hand. I have a feeling that my right shoulder will not be able to hold the weight of my body and that my upper body should be higher.
2.) When I bring the silk behind my head my right arm bends and it’s being painfully squized by the wraps. I find it easier skipping that part and going into the knee hang directly. That way my arm stays straight untill I sit up. Is it ok to skip the head wrapping part?
3.) The 5th technique tip is to push out the wrapped arm during the trapeze sit but it’s impossible for me to straighten the arm since my whole weight is on it.
4.) After the first elbow roll my arms are not in the right position for the second roll. I have to bring them beneath the tails to continue. How can I fix this?
5.) As you can see at the end of my video, I fell out of the elbow roll. Can you see why?
Here’s the link to my video:
