Which one for what move…?No, JelliCrew, that's not the princess grip you've been doing…your hand is not gripping the pole from behind, but rather from the front. The princess grip your hand is behind like in the video….this grip can be nice to use too, but not everyone has the shoulder range of motion for it. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Thank you so much everyone, I'm very happy you like them! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Yes, at least that was the case with the brand I bought. Mine is "firm", and a bit larger in diameter than a normal roller. They also make very small, really hard ones in gray. Purple just happened to be the firmness I wanted. I found mine in a sporting goods shop in Bismarck and ordered it off Amazon. It has long ridges instead of bumps. http://www.amazon.com/Thera-Roll-Textured-Therapy-Roller-GREYHARD3X8PURPLEFIRM3X8/dp/B003XX5AF6/ref=sr_1_2?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1334632436&sr=1-2

AdministratorApril 16, 2012 at 5:10 pm in reply to: Shoulder Mount Grips! Which one for what move…?To clarify….Princess grip the shoulder you mount on has the arm behind and fully extended, but not twisted…at least that is what I know of the Princess grip. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

AdministratorApril 16, 2012 at 5:03 pm in reply to: Shoulder Mount Grips! Which one for what move…?The Prince's isn't the Veena grip at least that's not what it was a few yrs ago!! The hand is behind like the cup grip, but extended. You can't get into the super invert with out your shoulder…but rather you HOLD it. Here's a link……At 1:12 You'll see I'm not using my shoulder at all. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DV9hkblfy3E

This is an all around good roller and it's the one I use in the lessons, it's on Amazon! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000MVHOQA/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=giggecom-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B000MVHOQA

AdministratorApril 16, 2012 at 4:46 pm in reply to: Shoulder Mount Grips! Which one for what move…?Both the Cup and Veena grip are very secure when done properly. I use both, all the time, and as mentioned, the Cup grip tends to work best for the dismount and the Veena for flips, but they're not the only options. You'll see in my videos on spin mode, I'll use the Veena grip the most because I can super invert with ease and security…I can even hold myself without having my shoulder or collarbone touching only my hands. It's a fun feeling! lol
I do not suggest using the twisted grip. There's useally several ways to do pole moves and several grips that can be used. It's about finding what works for your body. I only teach and use the Veena and cup grip because these are the 2 most suitable for all, not because they're the only grips out there. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

No Linda, there has never been an award. The goal of the challenge is to give everyone an idea to work with for a month. There are so many new polers that sign up every day that I wanted to make sure everyone felt welcome to participate, regardless of level. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif

Tha'ts great to hear cesca! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif Maybe double check to make sure your placing the pole far enough in towards the arm pit when you invert, then you wont place as much pressure on the rib. Feel free to post a video if you ever want some feed back.

When you say rib pain are you talking about up higher or down low. If it's up higher and hurts to inhale or exhale I bet you've pulled an intercostal musicle. Could be something else too but that's a pretty common inury. You might want to take a look at technique to make sure your scapula is neutral ( Lesson on neutral https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/0225276c-b90a-11df-856f-001b214581be ) and arms are not too high when preparing for the invert.
These lessons will help you build up the proper strength and tequnice for inverting.
