Along with today's move of the day and continuing in the roll out of 'launch week' (trademark), I wanted to mention quickly the ultimate goal of lava. We talk about levels of moves, levels of transitions, levels of holds, etc. But what do all these lead to? The ultimate. Level one hundred lava. What's better than a pushup? A one handed pushup. A chinup? A one handed chin up. What's better than supporting yourself with limbs? Supporting yourself with no limbs. And that is the ultimate goal to which all of our efforts point. Levitation. Okay. Enough philosophy. Now today's move of the day!
Scissorfeet
A scissorfoot hold is achieved whenever a lavaist clamps onto a verticle using the sole’s of his/her/its feet pointed like the grip of a vise. The hold requires flexibility and leg strength and is usually a temporary hold in a complex transfer. It is especially useful in situations that require rotating around a verticle with minimal space for the lavaist’s body, and will give you biceps on your inner thigh which everyone who likes colors (everyone) can agree is awesome.
