Just because they look simple, doesn’t mean your shoulders agree 🙊.
If you’ve ever found these tricks super hard, or painful, you’re not alone and you’re not “weak” or “broken”. These tricks are deceptively demanding.
Here’s why they’re not so “basic”:
1. Boomerang (Upright Split Grip): Can look simple, or can incorporate intricate leg or body movements within choreo. Without solid overhead pulling strength and rotator cuff control, most of the load dumps into your bottom arm which can lead to overload, instability, and that familiar ouchie feeling.
2. Ballerina: This one asks your overhead shoulder to be both mobile and strong in a deeply rotated position. If you’ve had a past shoulder injury or don’t have that range yet, loading this shape can cause real discomfort or set you up for injury.
3. But I can do them pain-free? Awesome! But be mindful, sometimes it’s hypermobility making it feel accessible, not strength. Just because it doesn’t hurt now doesn’t mean it’s not risky.
These shapes might be all over beginner choreo, but anatomically, they’re often more advanced than they appear. Being strong and mobile enough to do them safely? That’s a win. Being told to do them without the prep work? Not so much.
Been stuck in a trick that just feels wrong in your body? Have a ni**le that you can’t get rid of, or a pain/instability feeling you’re uncertain about? Book in with our team and we can help get you pain free and back doing the tricks or choreo you love 💜

If your hands keep slipping, your bottom arm feels like it’s doing nothing, or your grip fails halfway through a trick… don’t be so quick to blame your fingers 🤯.
Yes, grip strength matters. But often it’s not the whole story.
Here’s what else could be sabotaging your grip:
• Rotator cuff weakness – if your shoulder can’t stabilise, your grip ends up doing much more work.
• Poor push strength in your bottom arm – especially in moves like static V/butterfly, you need solid pushing power from the right muscles (not just a ‘hanging-on-for-dear-life’ pull).
• Lack of core control – if your midsection’s flailing, your upper body works overtime to compensate. Hello, early grip fatigue.
These are just pieces of the puzzle 🧩

So if you’re struggling with your grip and it feels like more than just sweaty hands? It’s time to zoom out and look at the whole system.
We can help you build the foundation for that elusive, secure grip, through tailored assessments, strength work, and training that meets you where you’re at.

Whilst it’s often meant to be motivating, sometimes it feels more like a punch in the gut than a pep talk 😩.
Because what someone can do is shaped by so many invisible things:
- their training history
- years of body awareness
- injuries (past and present)
- anatomical variations (arm length for example)
- time or training limitations
- work and life commitments 
- energy to train
- support system... you get the idea.
So if you’re feeling disheartened watching someone else nail a move you’ve been working on for months—this is your reminder: You’re not behind. You’re on your own path.
- Every body is different. Every journey is valid.
- Progress isn’t linear, and it’s definitely not copy-paste.
- You’re still allowed to be proud of your pace.

Let’s normalise not being able to do something right away—and still showing up anyway.

💜 We’re here to support you, whether you’re levelling up, modifying, or just surviving another nemesis trick.
Need some help structuring your training or working around limitations? Book in with us - let us meet you where you’re at and help you to thrive in your own way 🤩
