Okay you asked for it 😉 It's definately NOT normal to do crazy stuff on the pole in the beginning. I have a weightlifting background and holding my own weight was no problem for me at the beginning .... but it still took me 4 practice sessions until I was able to do a fireman spin and for a normal pole climb I needed 12 practice sessions! It's not only about the strength, but also about coordination, knowing what to do with your hands and feet etc. If you just keep practicing you will be stronger in no time. And the flexibility also takes times and practice. Just commit to your training and you will soon see some results 🙂 For the sweaty hands you can try grip aids (e.g. Tite Grip).
