2. Starting from the inverted anatomical position on straps, we will slide the right leg down (right meathook) along the outside of the straps until the quadriceps reaches the right shoulder, cre- ating a pike. (The left foot should be fully flexed, with the outside of the foot resting on the outer edge of the right strap to assist with body pos- ture). (img. 1)
Once we have reached the hook position (with the right leg/hip), in order to increase the body twisting and the pike, and to improve the final position in general, we can pull the right leg in with the left arm.
After reaching this position, we will lower the left leg, making sure it remains in contact with the arm until we bring both legs together. The bot- tom leg should always remain in contact with the shoulder, while the top leg will move up and down as needed, always remaining in contact with the arm. (img. 2)
