My teacher referred me to this video and it shed a lot of light on many things. A lot of girls are working on Twisted Grip and can't figure it out, or it hurts and they don't understand why.

Thank you for posting this! It makes a lot of sense and is really good to know. I am one of the girls she was talking about that has lots of range of motion, but hyperextended elbows. I have had to do a lot of work to not lock my elbows in moves (particularly anything with a split grip). I hate it because it takes more strength and I feel like my arm is bent even though it's straight, but I know it's what I need to do to protect my arms. I had to do a lot of work with my yoga therapist on releasing the tendons in my forearms and they still give me a lot of trouble. Pole work takes a lot of arm flexibility and strength and it's good to know your limits, but even better to understand them. 🙂
