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

My honest opinion on the Twisted grip….AVOID IT! For most people its not a safe grip. I feel not all pole moves are suitable for everyone, some have more flexibility others more strength ect. Our bodies are all different. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif Yes we see the pros using the TGs ALL the time, but pole is what they train for, they do it for a living! The home poler does not ever need to use this grip it will only increase your risk for injury.
For the competitive poler, this is an advanced grip and before working on it the dancer should go through specific strength training for the shoulders, back, abs, and arms, to ensure they can safely began to work on it. You need the proper stability and flexibility in the joints for this move. The Handspring is not the first variation of the tg a person should work on. You wont be missing out on anything if you can't do a TG. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif .

I'm so happy for you!!!!!!!!!!! BIG HUGS! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

I'm sorry your having a tough time. I know what its like to have less than ideal pole space. I know its not a perfect space but at least you could do what you can with it. You never know something better may come along for you. Is there some other place you could rent for yourself. Or maybe put the pole up at a friends house?

So nice to see you positng again!

sounds like a fun challenge…..but my first CD was a Christian cd lol My first cassette tape was as well.

I haven't found anything that works for me while on the pole and inverted…but as soon as I am off the pole I look directly at my pole (so its in between my line of sight) and it really helps!https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_puke_r.gif

Are you taking the lessons here? If so I would take a look at the shoulder mount lesson,https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/b9b368b0-b880-11df-856f-001b214581be I show you exactly how to fine the right position placement of the shoulder. Also I teach this move from the ground first. I don't recommend trying this from standing until you understand the mechanics of it from the floor. There are many tips for a good shoulder mount but making sure the pole is placed near the neck on the Trapezius is important. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif
