That’s great it clicked for you!! Sucks about the cyst, maybe it will go way on its own! My husband had one on his foot and was told surgery was needed, but it went away on its own!! 💜

Fully extend the arm means, to keep the arm straight do not bend the elbow or place the hand near the face, but extend it. It does not mean to reach as high as possible because that would then pull the scapula up and away from the midline of the body not allowing for full contraction of the muscle when you go to lift yourself. This is the over extending I show and tell you not to do in the lesson. Then I demonstrate neutral and they are fairly level.
Neutral is a starting point for all pole work and also proper form in weight training. As you said, pinching or pulling the scapula away is not neutral. The shoulders should NOT be up right by the ears! Let me know if that makes sense.
Also have you tried doing the Up and down and forward and back scapula exercises against a wall or on the floor so you can feel them move.

I’ll place this at the top of the site for everyone to find quickly! Good luck with your splits! Don’t forget to check out all of the individual stretching lessons and many routines here to help you out!

That’s great to hear the instructor offered an alternative!!! 🙂

If it’s a dance hitch kick, why would they be using a tg and not a split or true grip though? Some people may have pain in tg even if no lift occurs. TG is not right for everyone even from standing.

Hmmm, Saeth, hooking the foot is a beginner option. Pointing the toes is a GREAT way to practice climbing and it’s also great technique. I call it the Performace climb where you use the upper body as an anchor and then lift the legs, doing it this way would also allow you to point the foot more easily. The Basic pole climb is not meant to be easy or pretty, it’s a strength builder!

Performance https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/50fd8f5a-d024-4cbb-a4df-74830ac37250 You’ll see the foot is not listed as a POC in the performance climb 🙂

Do not Kick* lol not I not

I NOT kick into any move with a TG grip! It’s safest to work on twisted grips from and invert OFF the pole not kicking up to the pole from standing.
