That's awesome!! Rock on! 🥂 🥂 When I try to do a wrist sit I drop off the pole like a hot rock 😂

It's always spontaneous like that, isn't it? I can't seem to get the moves I try, only the ones I say "eff it" and go for balls to the wall!

Haha oh gosh yes I'm on self-imposed mandatory rest today. I can't even move 😂 Palms of my hands have blisters too. These aren't the kinds of injuries I ever figured I would take pride in!

haha i know i was showing off my bruises with pride 🫡 lol i dont know if im gonna pole today im so sore but so pumped that i inverted last night now i want to do more more more lol i just need to figure out how to do a release from a pole sit i can sit on the pole with no hands and can do the wrist seat but cant invert from the pole sit position hmmmm 🤔

U know when you do your wrist sit and you cross your leg to go backwards then put your hand under your bum? Try doing that (cross knee release) leaning back as if going for a wrist seat but don't put your hand under your bum and lean back - that's how our instructor did it last night. Then you can go on to a cross ankle release which is the same but your legs are crossed at the ankle 🙂 I can't DO all these things I have just watched and watched my instructor and/or video clips 🙂 So I may not be any help! -x-

I got an x-knee release and an x-ankle release from a sit on my first day, but now my pole burn is too bad to do the x-ankle hehe. The x-knee works I find if I get my strong hand up top to really hold me there while I work the pole into the crook of my top knee as I lean back, less friction on the thigh more weight on that joint.I was able to get a few more in yesterday just making sure I got the pole as far into that knee as I could to take the pressure off thighs. Then squeeze your butt like all heck! It'll get that inner thigh nice and secure.
