Remember this is a STRENGTH building climb so always train both sides! We will NOT be using a Push Grip. Also this not something that everyone will be able to do immediately, but it is very important to work on. Having the strength to pole climb will aid in learning to invert. Strengthens: ADDUCTORS / QUADRICEPS / HAMSTRINGS / TIBIALIS ANTERIOR / GLUTES / ABDOMINALS / LATISSIMUS / TERES MAJOR / PECTORALS / POSTERIOR DELTOIDS / TRAPEZIUS / RHOMBOIDS / BICEPS
JihalehHey Veena! Do you have any recommendations for conditioning for multiple climbs?
I am off the ground, I can regrip my hands, then I don't know if it's a brain thing or a body thing but as soon as I let go with legs, I slide back to the ground. I'm gonna assume the pole hold is where it's at, but I don't know if there is anything else?

VeenaOh! Sorry I haven't gotten around to adding the related lessons for this one yet. I will do that today for ya!

VeenaOk, they're added. Remember when you let go with the legs you now are holding the whole body with just the arms, this takes time to build up strength. Keep doing pole holds and do these drills 3 times a week if you can [https:]

angiev4290I always try every move first on my good side, then on my bad side, then my good side again, etc.. but this is the only move up to this point (started in January 2020, thanks to the lockdowns I haven’t been able to practice the entire time though) that I cannot do on my “bad side” with my other leg in front of the pole.. I just can’t do it, am I alone in this? What can I try?

VeenaI'd say work on this [https:] doing about 10 - 15 reps on your bad side each time you train. Also working on the Beginner lower leg grip hold might help you train that stubborn side 🙂 Let me know if that helps...in a week or 2!

PoleAdventures Paid MemberI noticed that I never really learned the basic climb. As I started pole dance I took a 6 weeks basics workshop. There we learned the forearm (performance) climb with switching legs and forearms. Should I still learn the basic climb now?

VeenaOf course! It's a great way to build strength

I love the lessons on studio Veena. They are clear and easy to follow. I learned a lot. I have used it next to my private classes. Everytime I learned something in class I would go home and review it on studio Veena and see if Veena had some more tips.
