Assistance exercise for dynamics (feddit.de)

I'm starting to train circus dynamics on rope. Doing various types of beats is really hard on my upper back and neck. This is what I'm training (not me), https://www.instagram.com/reel/CwPdTmlMOLp/?igshid=ODhhZWM5NmIwOQ==

I'm around 1-3 rep range for this movement, which means long recoveries and injury risk.

Are there any good assistance exercises? I'm looking for something I could do around 5-8 reps of so I can get stronger for this.

I tried last night to do toes to bar like you mention. I'm weak on the last 60 deg of the pike movement. I can cheat by using my shoulders to lean back (front lever type movement), but this puts a lot of strain on my upper back (not injury type strain, just in weak).

Straddle V-hang pullups are also a bit weak. Can't do close leg V-hang pullups yet.

Basically just need to get my pike/toes to bar stronger and work on front lever I guess.

Thanks!
