I’m starting to train circus dynamics on rope. Doing various types of beats is really hard on my upper back and neck. This is what I’m training (not me), https://www.instagram.com/reel/CwPdTmlMOLp/?igshid=ODhhZWM5NmIwOQ==

I’m around 1-3 rep range for this movement, which means long recoveries and injury risk.

Are there any good assistance exercises? I’m looking for something I could do around 5-8 reps of so I can get stronger for this.

    I tried last night to do toes to bar like you mention. I’m weak on the last 60 deg of the pike movement. I can cheat by using my shoulders to lean back (front lever type movement), but this puts a lot of strain on my upper back (not injury type strain, just in weak).

    Straddle V-hang pullups are also a bit weak. Can’t do close leg V-hang pullups yet.

    Basically just need to get my pike/toes to bar stronger and work on front lever I guess.

    Thanks!
