Can't post my latest clip on here despite being fine for all the last lot. Size is fine. Tried several formats and switching browsers. Posted in the tech bit of the forum too. Meh. So here's the latest clip of my backbend work. Got my toes to the floor in my second practice. I have high hopes of eventually getting sapphirecatzeye's chest stand 🙂 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0f90pef2Cw

keeping your head forward like you did at :03 is the only way you will get that great C curve in your back, if you are using the pole. make sure you stretch out before you practice on the pole though! my contortion friend said you can get scarring in your back and you wont progress if you dont 😕 looking great though! keep up the hard work 🙂

I had warmed up and stretched out before starting my pole workout. Yeah, I worked out that I had to push my chest out and have my head looking at the pole to get my feet lower. That's what you mean, yeah? I just love how my back springs right back. My legs hate me sometimes, but my back is forgiving if I sometimes take the day off. You're so right about that!
