swinging to the side...

Unread postby the hurricane » Wed Mar 05, 2008 1:26 am

Im trying to get upside down, however i cant do it, so my "mini goal" is to get my left hip to the pole. I can do that, however when i do it, i turn (usually to the left) any reason why this happens? any advise,drills or help to help me fix this will be awsome.

Can you clarify a bit? Are you turning along the axis of your body or perpendicular to it?
