Straight Arm Invert Lab
Kinetic Chain Self-Assessment
Film yourself · Watch · Find your breaking point
Before you begin
This tool helps you identify exactly where your straight arm invert breaks down. You'll need a short video of yourself attempting the movement — even an incomplete attempt is useful.
How to film
- Film from the side first — you need to see shoulder, hip and spine position
- Also film from the front if possible — catches elbow rotation and body asymmetry
- 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
Work through each section of the kinetic chain in order. Be honest — there are no wrong answers, only useful information.
