The lib is the next level after shoulder sit. Transition is where stunts succeed or collapse.
Equipment needed: Mat. Base, flyer, two spotters (front and back).
Setup: Shoulder sit established. Flyer’s foot tucked under the seated leg.
How to run it:
- Spotters set: one in front (hands at flyer’s foot), one behind (hands at hip).
- On count, flyer extends the standing leg.
- Base supports the flyer’s foot with both hands.
- Flyer pulls the other leg into a lib (knee bent, thigh parallel to ground).
- Hold three seconds. Dismount.
- Three reps.
What to look for: Flyer’s eyes look ahead, not down. Base’s hands stay locked under the flyer’s foot. Spotters’ hands stay LIGHT — they’re there for safety, not lifting.
Variation: Once stable, hold for five seconds. Build to ten.
