Split grip training

Cazzzz started this discussion · 8/15/2017

What is the best progression to learn split grip so as not to over-extend elbow and obtain injury? Soon I will begin teaching pole foundations class. I've learned a lot from this site over the few of years that I have been poling. I have read Veena's generous and awesome training course and curriculum. Give me your two cents and shape me into a good teacher. :) Please and thank you. :*

The best thing you can do is strengthen first, then start with partial SG because it allows students to use their bicep which takes some of the stress of the shoulders until they become stronger. Train SG no more than 3 times a week and STRETCH the forearms after every Split grip session. Really you should stretch the forearms after any pole session!
