The lessons that go out in the daily are either Random, OR NEW lessons I’ve posted that day. We like the idea of random picks allowing members to be exposted to all the lessons we have to offer. We do not have a function for me to pick three of each level, yet. This is somthing we can totally add to our list of possibilities! Thank you for the idea!! Γ°ΕΈΛΕ

Are quick lessons something I should continue with?

Poleisnewtome, You don’t let go in basic invert, if you transition into an inverted crucifix then you would let go. You can work on both the inverted crucifix and positioning the legs for inverts from the ground. If hands are sweaty or pole is cold and hands cold, grip will not feel secure, any size pole can be worked around. Improving hand strength will also help, and you’ll find several lessons for that here as well. π

You’ll find one of the 3 Hamstring (back of leg) stretches listed in the “Related” lessons below the main player of the Elbowstand lesson. In the same place you’ll find other lessons to work on to help you achieve the elbowstand. If you would like more selection, go to the lessons link, click on stretching, and you’ll find additional stretches for the Hamstrings. The descriptions list what muscles are lengthened in each lesson, all lessons are placed in groups, so all Hamstring stretches are together. You may also want to stretch the Calf as well here is the first stretch for the calf to get you started. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4de63270-34c8-4e99-9706-02410ac37250

Also there is a difference between sweeping the leg up to the pole, kicking into and deadlifting. Sweeping is totally fine and looks pretty too. Kicking is a no no and can cause rib pain among other issues, deadlifting is far more advanced and someone who is new to inverting should not be expected to deadlift. π

Have you been working on the Related lessons listed below the main player lesson? These are perfect for getting you closer to your invert! Also this lesson has some great tips for proper placement, https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/52f7165d-3484-4ffa-afa9-13de0a9aa0eb
Also working on the Shoulder and Ab, routine and Chest and Back routine 2 times a week or Pole Strength Routine will improve strength for inverts!

It’s totally normal to feel like you can’t even move an inch when starting. Keep at it consistently and you’ll get there!!

Oh! Also you’ll find a list of other lessons below the main elbowstand lesson, these are not random, but lessons for you to work on helping you achieve the main lesson posted Γ°ΕΈΛΕ https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/54b6ab93-39ec-49ff-8395-6d000a9aa0eb

Having the flexibility in hamstrings and shoulders to bring the HIPS over the HEAD is key! If you can’t bring them past then lifting will be extremely difficult! Can you walk the feet up as shown in the lesson and get into elbowstand?
-
Can I ask where you would like to see the 3 lessons and do you mean totally new lessons each day? Could be a cool option but not sure I understand how to execute it.

The majority of the weight of the bottom hand is on the PALM NOT the fingers, practice pushing through the palm. π

Its very common to forget to breathe! If you’re interesting in the lessons here you’ll find that in include when to exhale during moves along with cues to remember to breath during lessons. The best this is to be aware of it, and practice breathing off the pole in stretches as suggested previously. You’ll find cues for breathing while stretching in the lessons too. π

You can always turn off emails if you don’t want to be updated, but then you won’t see what’s new and you will miss out on new lessons posted, videos and discussions. Just remember you’ve turned them off because we get people who are upset because their not getting emails anymore because they forgot they turned them off!!

The lessons here would be perfect for you! They give structure and have many options for warm ups and you’ll even find stretching and conditioning! The 30 day take off gives you 30 days of pole workouts and the 30 days to flexy provides you with 30 days of structured flexibility and stretching.

My old (like 6 year old) chromes grip well. The newer top loading seem to be slick no matter what I try. Some love the chrome and it works well for them. Right now I’m using brass only because I like the 40mm size, my favorite finish is Powder coated!
If you find you have grip issues this trick has worked on ALL finishes so you might want to check it out, any of you who don’t suffer from sweat. As Skramamme found just dry hands worked well, but if you tend to be cold or dry try this trick for all finishes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgvvc2uvcFw
