Another alternative to the lifted invert is the reverse invert, which looks like this. It can help to build familiarity with moves like leg hangs and flatlines, but it doesn't generate as much space as a lifted version, so it can be tricky to keep the height needed for more elaborate moves or combos. Remember to engage your core on the descent so that you can keep building up your invert technique!

Idk if this is the right vid where to ask this but besides tricks that are a bit more on the acrobatic or gymnastic prowess side (which you have to spare of course) what would you say for somebody who's either not as strong grip wise or... Maybe arthritis that would difficult either the grip or the flexibility if the strength side of things would not be an obstacle

Well there are sort of two questions here: the first is what if your grip is not as strong? It's actually just as possible to train grip strength as it is any other pole strengths/ skills, but a lot of polers either don't know or forget that, and end up relying heavily on grip aids. I'll definitely do a video on improving grip strength at some point! But if you have a condition that prevents you from building grip strength, then it's worth looking at low flow pole moves, which keep your body close to the ground and rely more on dance-like movements than on aerial tricks.
