Not every move is right for every body. A lot of hamstring and core strength is needed to perform this move safely. Using my little trick at the beginning should help you find the sweet spot on your bottom leg. Take your time and limit yourself to a few tries per poling session. Remember to focus on using the hamstrings (back of the leg).

We do this from the floor rather than using a chair
omg i got this after 3days of practice. doesn't hurt as much anymore and i can hold hold for a lot longer now. thanks veena. your tutorials are awesome!
i can only hold it for 3 seconds :( it hurts like a b$@&%
I rarely do this move, it's one of those that some ppl take to and others find far too painful, so listen to your body :)
I am sooo gonna get this one day!!! lol
Never say never Karmel...
I will never in my life...
I hope I get this soon. I have gotten it one handed but I just don't feel secure or locked into place. and my hips seem to be confused with pushing forward when I push forward my back arches and then my shin slips and falls behind the pole so I go into the thigh rest position. I have no idea what I am doing wrong.
I want to try this one.
