Greeting from Savannah, GA!

I found this site while researching strength training to compliment my aerial work. I'm an aerialist (aerial silks, corde lisse, and some lyra), but I did gymnastics years ago. That training helped me walk right into aerial, but I need some work. This site provides so much training information, it's just amazing. I'm so glad I found it.

Right now, I'm working on perfecting my front meat hook and I'm trying to get the back/reverse meat hooks. I look forward to creeping on your forums!

Interesting, I'll have to look what a front and rear meathook is though I have an idea of what a rear meathook might be. There was an aerialist who used to come to the gym at Berkeley every once in awhile who tried to show me.

I had a helluva time with it as I couldn't get the compression I think that was necessary. Note, that I was trying it on the rings.

Welcome to the forums, riot. Meat hooks sound quite gruesome... lol

A front one is like a front lever but with your feet to the side. And hello riot. I love circus work as well and am trying to get into corde lisse too! As well as straps and hand balancing. Nice to have you on the forum.

Here's a video of a guy doing a reverse/back meat hook by rolling up from the ground (go to the 0:30 mark):

Reverse meat hooks are the devil.

Here, riot: just put the "3uzTq-ANWS8" at the end of "

Thank you, Patrick!
