Fleur - nice work girl! I can tell you are applying the same technique to the elbow grip as you do for the forearm grip but they are actually quite different, in the elbow grip you don;t want your body to be close up to the pole! Try doing your caterpillar, at its highest point your hips and chest will be away from the pole, at that point you hook the elbow while keeping your body away from the pole adn then release the legs. try it, the further away you are, the better the elbow grip gets.

Trena - Great stuff! Im ever so jealous of your TG Lift! Fleur said everything I wanted to say about the elbow grip! :D Try it, the grip will feel more stable the further you are away from the pole!
