The pain seems to go away after a while the more you do it. I don’t really know why, but I imagine maybe your nerves lose some of their sensitivity. Maybe it’s something like how kick boxers can stand being kicked over and over again really hard, it starts to hurt less over time. When I first started doing pole sits I could only do it for a few seconds and my face would pinch up in pain, uncontrollably and I wondered how my instructor could do it with such grace. Now I can sit for a long time. I think the body adapts. Just keep at it.

When I started doing ‘split’ grips I was getting intense pain that would last for days, the pain felt like it infiltrated my bones and would ache. It wasn’t like a typical muscle ache. I ended up deciding it was something like tendonitis. I stopped doing the moves that caused me pain and it got better. I try occasionally to do the moves again, but it still hurts a little bit so I don’t push it. My instructors all said I was doing the moves right. I think some people are prone to this type of pain/injury. My arms are long and lean. I am hoping when I get stronger I will be able to do these moves.
No one else at my studio had the same problem and the instructors were baffled. I tried to find some posts about this from the summer but i can’t find them.
