Spatchcock
Also known as: Spatchcock (Foot-behind-head split)
An inverted split with one leg behind the head — pole on the back.
Pole on the back means flexibility is non-negotiable. Train this with a coach. Always.
Common mistakes
- Treating it as a single trick instead of a transition
- Filming on day one instead of drilling. Drill first, film later
- Forgetting the audience can see your face — sell it
Tips from instructors
- Choreograph in 8-counts, not by trick — flow matters more than tricks
- Have a coach you trust. Self-coached athletes plateau
- Train the smallest details: hand placement, head turns, breath cues
- Compete or showcase regularly — it forces a polish drilling can't get
- Rest fully between intensive blocks. Burn-out is a six-week setback
