Nice to see another pole-fitness guy on here!!!

That's a flag from shoulder mount, isn't it? I normally see flag done differently.

Welcome to the forums!

I'm not much of a pole fitness guy to be honest, though I've been trying to work towards achieving the human flag of late.
This one, I call the 'hanging dragon flag'. It's relatively easy to perform, though it does kill your shoulders, and the triceps have to work quite hard isometrically.
here's the progressions I followed to achieve it: http://www.fitness666.com/2012/07/ab...gressions.html

The full flag is more like this:



Although it is more easy if you tuck the lower elbow into the midriff to provide more support.

Yep, am familiar with these... As I said, I am working on the human flag at the mo'... I can do the modified one, but the full version elludes me... Trying to lose some weight to improve my power/weight ration and working on my shoulder strength.
