How long has it felt this way? Could it just be a soar muscle from poling or working out?

Yep, the easier it is on the ground the better on the pole, I would suggest doing the adv stretches listed before the adv ballerina stretch too. The stretches in the video shared are great also!

Have you or how long have you, been working on the lesson for advanced ballerina stretch https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/548cc3f2-2494-4bc1-9989-1d680a9aa0eb and the few listed before? The back mobility routine will also help.

I normally don’t talk about how fast my progression was, but I was able to do forearm grip Ayesha the first session I tried it….Split grip variation (off the pole) took me a few days. I don’t have a background in gymnastics or dance, so I’m NOT average and caught on to pole extremely quick. I’m telling you this because EVERYONE learns at their own pace, there is no timeline of what “should” be done by a certain time. Some move are not right for some people and they may never do them. It’s great to have goals and plan to work towards something, but we often become discouraged (especially quick learners) when we hit a point where natural ability stops, and things become hard. Make sure you’re taking time to understand and learn the fundamentals of pole, this will make your progress safer and help you understand how everything is connected.

I have used every size, I have 50’s 45’s and 40 is what I prefer now. I’ve even used a 38mm and I have yet to not be able to grip with my legs. Every finish and size pole has its challenges and these can all be worked around and adjustements made. I love the secure hand grip the 40 offers. If you are very tall and love to do elbow locks and grips like the embrace then a 45 might make it more comfortable.

I’ve had lessons for that for a few years. 😉 in the conditioning section

Ok, I’ll start adding them again! It seems there’s a rumor that SV only has beginner lessons, or so a few people have told me, I’m not sure how that came about. Anyway if your enjoying these please let your friends know because while I LOVE beginners I feel I offer something for everyone. 💜💜💜💜

I haven’t had any issue with the 40, and yeah my legs are thin!! The biggest thing is leg hooks tend to hurt more but you do get use to it. As with ANY pole ANY size as long are you are warmed up and the pole is warm it should be workable. I use grip aids on my poles when it’s cold.

I would say you wouldn’t want to put one on the fully assembled xstage! I plan on using only half the pole that comes with the stage. I’ll have to take a look at some of the videos, I’ve only ever seen it on a pole once!!
-
Oh wow, that would be amazing, yes, I have 3 stage poles! I use a 45mm xpole, it looks that that size will work with your lyra’s? The colors are all so pretty, it’s hard to choose one! I’m fond of purple, but I’d be happy with any color, the more glitter and shine the better!! lol If it works well for me I’ll be happy to share it with all of my followers!

Your powder coating is beautiful!!!

Litlbit has great advice!!! After reading your last post I want to add that it’s equally important to feel secure in your leg grips, not just the hands. We use a lot of leg grips in pole and becoming comfortable with those can also save you from a fall, you won’t always be able to re-grip with the hands! Working on leg grips off all kinds from the floor and from reverse handstands would be a good idea to help you become comfortable with them. Practice it every session so leg grips become automatic too! 💜
