Straight Arm Invert Lab
Kinetic Chain Self-Assessment
Film yourself · Watch · Find your breaking point
Identify exactly where your invert is breaking down
Work through each section of the kinetic chain and match what you see in your video to the descriptions. Be honest — there are no wrong answers, only useful information.
You'll need a short video of yourself attempting the movement. Even an incomplete attempt is useful — the breakdown is the data.
How to film
- Film from the side — to see shoulder, hip and spine position
- Film from the back — to see your shoulder blades clearly
- Film a failed attempt as well as your best attempt
- Watch in slow motion if your phone allows it
- Pause at the point where things fall apart
