For the elbow stand, the majority of the pressure should be on the elbows/forearms, not the head. As with all moves engage your shoulders, so don’t slump into them, keep them strong and working. Try this move against a wall that way you wont miss the pole and fall on your back. I will be doing a lesson on this move too. There is a lesson now but I’ll be going into greater detail in the new one. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif

I NEVER do crunches…boring https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif so I’m with ya there, also only run if I’m being chased https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif Slowing things down its a really good way to gain strength, it takes a lot more effort to do things slowly that putting momentum into everything…like the invert. I don’t know how advanced you are so….try handstands, elbow stands and climbs are all great for strength too. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif

Welcome to the site, pole dance is the best way I have found to let my creative side out!! I love the art of it all. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

You could try a sports drink like Gatorade too while you pole. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif

Woo hoo, you’ll have so much fun with your new pole! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

yes you should try climbing and pole sits Just remember to keep the shoulder back and down at all times. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

These move take a good amount of strength because your literally holding all of your body weight and your adding momentum to the weight. Plus the are kinda awkward. Working on moves like pole climbs and make sure to add strength work with your pole if your not progressing. This is important for beginners. There is a reason I have spins in the intermediate section not beginner. I’ll be adding new strength work and beginner moves to the lessons soon. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif Until then pole climbs can do wonders for strength you can also work on the position in a static position so just holding it not adding momentum.

IF its showing that its still uploading for more than a few hrs then it failed to upload……we will delete the failed one and you can tried again. I don’t know for sure but maybe a different format might work? Don’t ask me which one. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

A reverse grab…I do it so much its annoying!! I don’t know if I have a video of my not doing that move. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

Its much less scary if you scoot way down and try it. Almost like a SM on the floor, but a little higher so you don’t bang your knees on the way over!!! The first time I tried it was with Fleur, at the studio where she teaches and I was so scared, because the have hardwood floors. I kept landing to the side of the pole not behind! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

Its the twisting of the arm that is bad, its no where near a neutral position and any time you go outside a neutral body position you risk injury, no matter how strong you are. There are always exceptions to the rules, like if someone is hyper flexible naturally…but that doesn’t mean we should all strive to be hyperflexy. I have never heard of a move causing as much trouble on the joints as this one. Be careful if you do perform this one. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

She was right to teach it that way!! Learning it from an invert first is much safer on the joints, its doesn’t allow you to jerk and tweek like you would from the ground. I do have this in my list of new lessons, BUT I’m still not sure I will teach this move. Its just so hard on the joints. If I do it would be from on the pole. Yay for Michula she is one smart instructor! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

I have a bunch of strength work you can do with your pole, in my online lessons and I just re-did them all, I added a few new ones. The new ones wont be up for a bit yet but look for them soon until then the others are still up on the site!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumright.gif

I think your talking about the SM flip…that what I call it. I’ll have this one in my new lessons, but for now, here is a video I took of myself when I was learning the move. I did it into a split, not onto the pole. I’ll teach it both ways in the lessons. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
