You'll be using the Side pole hold for this exercise, making it an effective way to train for inverts, shoulder mounts, and the like. You'll see several options to accommodate wherever you are in your fitness journey. Start with the option that allows for good form, and once that becomes easy, move on to the next option.
Suggested sets and reps: 8-15 reps, 2-4 sets, 2 times per week.

Hi, is there anything else I can work on so I can start lowering the outside arm from the extended grip or is that just something that’ll come with time working on the side hold tuck?
Nothing other than one is more about technique, the side hold. The truck is just that, focusing on tucking as an exercise.
Hi Veena! I was wondering, what is the difference between the Side hold tuck and the Side pole hold? I am tucking my knees up on the latter as well. Thanks!
Are you working through a program? I highly recommend it if not. You'll build the strength and skills needed as you progress though any of the beginning programs. 💜 If you don't want to use a program work on Bicep curls, front raises, rear pulls and lateral pull downs all listed in the strength and conditioning section.
