  I have the same problem my pole is sooooo short 🙁 I just do scissor lifts to the top only using my arms then come back down to the bottom
  And do it over and over. Stupid short poles 🙁 lol

  If you’re taking the lessons I show you how to work with a short pole during climbs. Basically you’ll stay in crucifix and release the legs just enough to slide back down the pole. This way you can climb over and over. It’s a great way to practice leg control.
