Hi! You can post a challenge at anytime there is no deadline. Feel free to Take part in old challenges too! 🙂

That’s what we did for my ps stage when the pins didn’t fit, worked in a pinch.

I wouldn’t over tighten any pole. You can go to the hardware store and buy some “pins” to keep the pole in place. The store pins didn’t fit tight but kept the pole from spinning!

Oh just to be clear, it’s not so much the word challenge but putting the month yr and word challenge in a title that confuses people 🙂 its not really a big deal though!

You are correct hooked 😉 I’ll post the new challenge later tonight or in the morning…we are still driving! 🙂

Neither position is right or wrong. It’s just preferace and will vary depending on if you’re dealing with dance, gymnastics ect. When training for the splits aim for squared hips to get the most out of the stretch.

Posting a video would be the most helpful thing, then we can see what is going on. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Lyme, the true grip isn't used for the Basic invert, that would be much like inverting with one arm! It's used for decending from off the pole, spinning while inverted… like in the spinning V/chopper…or to hold a static V.

I can't remember if you're taking the lessons Rixi, but here is the Getting started for Stretching. It will tell you how often and help you create a stretching routine. It covers the difference between stretching and flexibility training as well. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4dd66731-eab0-4b4a-aa13-41ad0ac37250

A smaller diameter pole can be a bit more challenging to climb. Also at home, a common issue dancers have is lack of warm up. Without a proper warm up you'll find things like climbs, pole sits most leg moves very difficult. The environmental conditions may be different in home as well affecting the grip. In addition, check your climbing technique, there may just be a few tweaks that need to be made to make climbing better.
My tips:
Are you warmed up?
is the pole along the front of the ankle, inside of the knee's?
is the scapula engaged and arms at a good climbing height (not too high not too low)?
Are you pushing down and into the pole with the climbing leg?
Here's the basic climb lesson if you're interested. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/233115a0-b889-11df-856f-001b214581be

Lyme, I do it usually when I say V out, in a lesson. You can see the hand placement in the Gemini lesson Watch my top/outside hand you’ll see the v out at the end. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4cbdc217-f41c-407e-ba70-538d0ac37250

Yep thats why I’ll help her come up with a custom plan. There are other things like nutrition, sleep and stretching that can help reduce soreness too 🙂
Ill be waiting for your email 🙂

It’s no more than 3x a week 🙂 and the first 2 weeks are only strength or conditioning not pole work too.
