hay Sissy, just a thought but in addition to your weightlifting maybe you can do "pull-ups" either on your pole or a bar at the gym. that may help you to continue lifting your body weight. …but i still hope you dont have to get surgery…keep us updated

sounds fun..i’ve never done a challenge b/c i’m fairly new to the site, but when do you submit the challenge videos? on a specific day or any day of the month?

Does anyone know if you can remove your video if you dont want it uploaded anymore like on youtube? For example, if I remove a video from youtube it can no longer be viewed right?? Do we have the same option here? Just wondering…. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif Any advice helps…I’m not really good with technology

awesome…thanks Veena. It helps to be able to use something around the house(you suggested soup cans) or up to 5 pound weights for those of us without gym memberships!! And your little baby bump is so cute https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif This is a big help https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Veena —> OOOhhh gotcha….which joints does it hurt? Do you think it would be the ones in the top arm (the twisty one)? I am guessing the shoulder, elbow and wrist?? Speaking of shoulders…can you post a link to your shoulder and wrist exercises..i cant find them. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif

[goforit]

true. i guess it depends on how strong you are to begin with and how long you’ve been doing handstands but….safety first!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_clown.gif

okay…good to know..thanks Mjohnson

[goforit]

cool..thanks for sharing, my X Pole is on the way and that’s good to know !! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Veena…why do i need a stud finder if the X Pole is not screwed into the ceiling?? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif My X Pole is on the way!

[goforit]

thanks for the info b/c i was really wondering about that…for me it was the reverse grip poses that hurt my wrist for almost two weeks!! i had to ice it and take anti-inflams too https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif but like u said i dont think i was warmed up properly b/c now i stretch and warm up for about 15-20 min before poling and have no probs….but really…thanks for sharing and i will be careful with those TGs

i’m no teacher but i think just practicing regular handsprings on the pole first and then once i got that down i started the twisted grip..i did not do any other type of conditioning…i dont think you will either, but be sure to use a couch pillow or mat on the floor if you’re scared of falling

[goforit]

okay.. that’s great. thanks !!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

oops1 https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif I meant vertical handspring i guess like the twisted grip, cartwheel grip etc..
