and sissy that goes for all strength work…rows, triceps press, shoulder raises you get the idea https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_idea.gif so unless your specifically working on flexion and extension of the wrist/forearms always keep a neutral wrist.

I’m confused as to how you would get into the butterfly from that spin, my hands would be in the wrong position. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif

I have a whole series of new lessons I’ll be posting this month addressing this very problem. They’ll include helpful strength work to important stretches. Having a desk job (if you use computers) and pole dancing can really take a toll on the hands/wrist/forearms.
ALWAYS stretch your forearms and hands after you dance and gently stretch them throughout the day as you work too. Oh and after you do your weightlifting too. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rambo.gif
Avoid split grips until your wrist/forearms feel better
Try to massage the forearm area, better yet get a pro to work on them!
REST, REST, REST maybe focus on flexibility or cardio for a while as you let your wrist take a break.
Once your feeling better do some specific exercises for strengthening the hands/wrist/forearms and…keep stretching! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif
In strength training you can get good result without lifting too heavy, so keep that in mind. Lifting with control is more important then how much weight your using. Also try to pole dance on the same day that you do your weight training. If your lifting one day then poling the next that can be too much and lead to overuse. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rambo.gif Hope that was helpful.

There are always a few moments now and then where you think OMG and you catch yourself https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cat.gif I
When I have a bad pole work out….and I do! Its still frustrating, but I have learned that if I’m working on a move I just can’t get….. move on, and come back to it later in the week. I no longer have grip issues now that I always warm up well, (unless I’m trying to dance on a crappy pole in a dirty bar) https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif but if I have had time off the pole, the first day back is usually CRAP! The next pole session is almost always better. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

A few hrs ago I had someone write a comment on a video of mine saying…."I can see all of the abortions she has had from the blubber on her stomach" This was on one of the after baby vidoes… To that I say "block" and "delete". I use to respond back but I just delete and block them and moooove on, those types of people are NOT worth my time. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_twisted.gif

I find spotting helps with pole pirouettes but its not helpful on spin mode, unless your upright and spinning slowly…..for me, anyway. I acclimate myself to spinny by doing a few session of up right moves ONLY then slowly add the inverted. Just keep at it. And I only do a few moves on spin then something else, then back to spin I’m a static lover myself anyway https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

There’s a little person named Veena who lives in CA too. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif I could maybe show someone a trick or two…..
I always tell people there are 3 categories of pole dance..
Atheletic
Artistic
Exotic
All POLE DANCE but different forms -
The chrome heels I have are Ellies and have clear tops, they have never hurt or dug into my skin, the plastic seems to be soft enough not to. The Ellies do seem narrow, which is what I need, I’m not sure how they work with wide feet. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_safesex.gif

I will add that if you cannot pull yourself upright on the pole from an invert do not attempt this move.
Going from outside leg hang I found it easier to go into side V first and then flip the hips (if this helps anyone).
https://www.studioveena.comhttp:://www.triagedesign.co.uk/wikipole/images/thumb/8/8d/Sidev.jpg/200px-Sidev.jpg
This is how I teach it, from a side V….If you want to work on it lower go for it….just slide down after you invert so your bottom arm is on the floor and flip. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif -
Keep at the Reverse Handstands!!! From there you can work on a few move that require leg gripping and you wont have to be far off the ground. You’ll get use to it, take your time! Focus on trusting your leg grip. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
