I also teach it from a Caterpillar. The farther apart the hands the closer you are to your pole the easier it will be, as you become stronger you can bring the hands closer pushing the body farther away from the pole. Don't rush the movement into the V position get balanced first. I talk about this more here in this lesson https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/f7c4af30-b91e-11df-856f-001b214581be

Ekinkah or anyone else https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif Here is the lesson that will really help you get a feel for neutral Scapula which is what you want when you invert. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/0225276c-b90a-11df-856f-001b214581be

Oh one more thing….be careful of squeezing the shoulder blades TOO much, this is a common mistake!! You want the shoulders in an engaged position, but if you are over doing the squeezing you can also cause problems!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif

You need to REST Ekinkah! Sounds like you were not strong enough to be doing inverted Vs yet. I have some great lessons for strengthening if you interested. They include proper positioning for your shoulders to help prevent issues like this. Feel better soon.

Yep if your gonna work on it Blueeyes is right…gotta take it slow and work from up on the pole not kicking into a handspring. And yes you can do an Iron X without a twisted grip. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

This is the grip they are talking about ..I think…I call it a partial split grip. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4d2f086d-9d38-4e2f-8f09-0b800ac37250 Although I don't know how you would do this spinning on a static pole without a lot of pole burn. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif

I would like to ask that titles for Challenge suggestions be different from the monthly titles I use, such as 2011 February Challenge. It will be confusing when I go to post the actual Feb Challenge https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif

I only stated it wasn't for new dancers because Erin you had mentioned its considered a beginner grip in LA, I still don't feel its suitable for most dancers of any level. For my own teaching method its not suitable for the pole dancer who is doing it for fitness and fun. All studios teach in their own way https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif Chumpchkin its just not a necessary grip so don't worry if its not for you.
Erin if your falling out of regular grips because of your joint flexiiity, you might want to think about doing some shoulder stabilization exercises. These can help if you are too loosy goosy. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Thumb up is a better option if your going to rely heavily on the bottom arm however I teach you to use your top arm as the main hold. So if your doing the properly either way thumb up or down will be ok. You should not be using the bottom arms as heavily as you would for a split grip hold. A greater amount of strength is needed to add the V position to this spin so work on your shoulders, upper back, abs and hip flexors. These would be good exercise for you to work on.

Yes Erin the twisted grip FEELS easier….however….it does not place the joints in a stable neutral position. Its not a difficult grip its just not a wise choice for new dancers. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif
