Cat, I mean that split grips themselves can be done too often, and too soon. It’s not a natural or easy position for our bodies even in cup or regular grip and the shoulders still need to be able to stabilize the body, so conditioning is very important. However, I still feel TG is a bigger issue for more of the population than regular grip, they all can cause injury if not done with respect to our bodies abilities. I dislike TG so much because it is EASIER to HOLD when kicking up into, than a cartwheel or handspring done with cup or regular SG. It’s easier because the arm bone has rotated in the shoulder socket in a way that makes it feel “locked” into place, making balance less challenging. I believe that is why it became so popular…. it allowed more dancers to get into the inverted cartwheel/handspring position faster. Cartwheels and Handsprings done with regular and cup grip are HARD!

Hi! So glad to hear you’ve enjoyed the take off! Yes, you can just warm up and work on pole moves when you’re at home. Just remember to follow the lessons in order so you know what appropriate for your level 😊

I had to create a new YouTube account when I contributed to post vids while pregnant! It was fellow polers who flagged my vids and wrote me emails about how horrible I was and that I was a terrible example for pole. I expected it from the public be not from people I thought were in my “tribe” it hurt.

Now on to sexuality, I have sexuality and pole as a mom, listed as one of my scope topics for this week!!!!! Women can be sexy however they choose and it shouldn’t matter if they have kids!

Split grip was all I had figured out when I started!! I didn’t know elbow or forearm grips were used! 🙃

Ugh, typos!💩

There are lots of threads on this an among them are members talking about injuries because of the TG. I really believe it’s commonly taught only because they don’t know better and it’s “easier” than split grip! I will add that I also feel split grips are often over done too!
