Besides the conditioning and strength lessons here (most don’t need a pole at all) you could try exercises of this nature to build strength for pole.https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/52f90381-4458-4123-99e5-41150a9aa0eb

Yes, great news!

Anything strength based they tend to like. Pole holds, pole triceps push and so on.

Hmmm, I’ve been knocking and using stud finders since I started, I’ve set my xpoles up in many different homes from very old to fairly new, never had a problem. You do need to be aware of how the joists run in your home but it’s not difficult to find out.
I think if you’re feeling that worried about finding a joist then perhaps a permanent pole installed by a professional would be best.

Hello, welcome to the site!!! Γ°ΕΈβΕ

I pole on average about 2 times a week, sometimes more sometimes not at all.
If you’re poling for fun, once a week is great! Don’t expect to see huge gains in strength but if you’re doing it for fun then progression isn’t the goal anyway. π
If you’re poling for fitness (a workout) then 3 times a week focusing on full body each of the 3 days, for around 30 mins to 1 1/2 hours is a good way to build strength.
If you’re poling with the goal of trick progression and strength building 5 days a week at the most, (3 days is suggested for new dancers) being sure to have rest days and do not focus on the same trick or major muscle groups 2 days in a row to prevent overuse.
When working on a new trick I suggest limiting your attempts to 10 times, this may sound like very little but pushing will only make for more bruising and sore muscle which can set back your practice time the next session.
If anyone is taking the lessons here, you’ll find all of this info there as well. xoxo

Rachel, don’t be sad or disappointed about where you are, my post wasn’t about being upset with my regression but to show that its normal and ok. π

Check out the lessons here for both the Handspring and Cartwheel mount with OUT using the TG.
One of the biggest issues I see is not reaching down far enough with the bottom hand, the torso stays too horizontal and this makes getting up very difficult. Keep the head moving down towards the feet in Cartwheel mount and think of reaching low and running under the body for the Handspring.

Yes, from the floor, if you have the lessons here I show you how to start working on many things from the floor first.
