Deadlift December challenge - time to polish your inverts, shoulder mounts, handspring and whatnot!

Challenge

After the success of the last challenge and all the victories it sparkled, it's time for another one!

This month we are focusing on polishing and ultimately becoming aerial in skills across many levels. We want to kick and swing less, and use more of our muscles to get upside down with total control.

There are many moves that can be deadlifted. For example:

And some others too.

Edit - More possible deadlift things:

  • Headstand/Forearmstand/Handstand - at the base of the pole or against the wall
  • [Any grip] Pole handstand - one arm on pole, one on floor
  • Iguana Mount
  • Shoulder Mount - Around the World variation

So what now?

  • Choose a goal according to your level - something you can already swing into but lifting is hard.
  • Have more ideas for moves that can be deadlifted? Inspire us with your ideas.
  • Devote a few minutes every time you train to work on your deadlift.
  • Ask questions!
  • Hmm...profit??

Good luck :)
