I've been poling for about four months, and anchor grip is my nemesis :') I've tried following the suggestions of all the lovely comments people left on my Reddit post, but it's still not making sense for me. Is there something else I can try? Or do I just need to keep drilling it until I develop the back muscles I need? Thanks!

Ok! I'll post the videos in the order you should watch them in.
The first one covers how the bottom arm (pushing) should feel and be placed on the pole. https://www.studioveena.com/tutorial/forearm-push-grip-pull-grip-free-838/
Then, have a look at this video https://www.studioveena.com/tutorial/easy-up-split-grips-4-ways-869/ This grip not only required the correct positioning, it does take a lot of strength, so working on the related tutorials will be very helpful. I suggest doing the listed exercises 3 times a week.
Give these a try and feel free to film the attempts and I can then look at it and help you troubleshoot more if needed :)
