And is this gripping the pole and leaning away done with only the elbow, and the other arm hangs free?

Oh I’ve never seen this Juliet spin. Thanks guys so much! I’ll give it another shot.
Also, any tips for a strong elbow grip? Or is it pretty much a strength thing?

When will you be adding new lessons (more specifically, more Advanced lessons)?
[Just checking before investing 🙂 ] -
Ugh me too. The 20 dollar shipping breaks my heart.

I would say properly warming up your back (we usually focus on legs and arms) and making sure to properly engage everything that needs to be engaged when poling. Being able to properly keep your shoulders down and back during the full course of an invert takes strength, so maybe conditioning for that.

Im also inclined to think is a strained intercostal. I strained mine a few months (like, 3) ago doing inverts and not engaging my lats properly. It hurt to invert, to twist to the side, anything involving my back, sometimes to breath. I went to a physiotherapist. He thought my ribs moved a bit out of place so I spent hundreds of dollars on multiple sessions of him cracking and massaging my back. Weeks later, I realized I was not getting better so I quit the sessions and just rested a long time. Im convinced it was an intercostal. After about a month’s rest, I could do inverts again for a little bit a day. Now, its pretty much healed, but it still hurts during inverts once in a while.

Oh my gosh that was adorable.

Adding to the not rushing point, once every month or two, ill take a full week off super intense stretching and super intense strength training, and let my muscles heal and my body rest. The following week after, Im sooo much more flexible and strong, so that may be something you want to try sometime.

Hasnt happened to me yet, but just curious, what is a good way to respond to those kinds of comments to politely let them know that’s not the case?
-
Yeah running makes me tight in my quads, hips, glutes, hamstrings, and calves. So I guess everywhere lol. After running, I NEED to stretch right away for at least half an hour to counteract any tightening that has happened. And the for another 30-60 minutes to increase flexibility (might as well while I’m warm)
-
I've always wondered as well, isnt it also a hip/leg flexibility thing because you need to get your legs to spread wide enough, almost like a split?
-
Yeah I agree that you can sometimes learn faster on your own, but at the same time, it can be hard to tell if you’re using incorrect technique and such, without an experienced person spotting/critiquing/evaluating you

Wow everyone, thanks! ive got alot of combo ideas in my head now
Time to start practicing 🙂 -
Maybe you can place some yoga mats folded over once, instead of a crash mat. I know it wont reduce injury by much, but for me, it certainly makes me FEEL much safer and confident than just having the hardwood beneath me 🙂

I’m in too 🙂
By te way, does anyone know how far off the ground people’s parallel splits (splits with square hips) are by the time they have their full turned out splits?
I’ve decided to train/stretch my parallel splits exclusively, and do my turned out splits once every few weeks so it should be a nice surprise to see how much lower I’ve gotten. If tht makes sense.I find it discouraging to do my splits every day/week and see minimal progress. Like watching hair grow 😛
