My own execution

This trick looks easy but it's quite challenging. Here is my video with the same training steps but I am adding these advices for you!

ADVICE 1: Put your knees closer in lotus / frog / genie to keep yout butt far from the pole so you can reach your upper leg with lower hand easier

ADVICE 2: Grab your feet on forefoot closer to the ankle which is safer and you avoid risk of loosing the grip

ADVICE 3: Don't move your ancles to the sides, your legs need to be strengthened otherwise it looks terrible

ADVICE 4: When you are lifting your chest up, push both your feet towards your hands. If you don't do it your upper knee pit starts to hurt.

ADVICE 5: This one I have from Tea Srsen. Push towards the pole with your lower leg when you are lifting your chest.

ADVICE 6: Try to move your lower foot's heel to the outside so your knee be more open.
