IF your hooking the leg that is on the pole behind your heel….you can pull yourself into the pole and grab the pole with both legs and go into a crucifix, this would be a bit more basic than going into the flatline scorpio https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

Don’t be discouraged!! If your looking to do some strength training with your pole, then you might wanna check out my online lessons here. I have a full body work out using your pole to prepare your body for the demands https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif You’ll get there https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

You can try going to a sign company and most will make a small piece like a pole dancers for pretty inexpensive. You can create your own or if you pay them they create it for you. We have done this in the past for other business’s we have had. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

If its only your grip and you have the position…. then try dampening the towel you use to wipe you pole with, using a bit of alcohol or what ever you clean your pole with. Rub it on your hands and the pole and as soon as its dry….don’t try it with wet hands!!!!! as soon as its dries, try the move. You’ll get better grip but only temporarily. Or try my silly dish washing rubber glove trick….they do stick really well https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

Thanks for the suggestion https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif the pressure of the pole wouldn’t work with that kind of flooring….I already tried to convince the husband of that kind of flooring when we first moved in LOL He said nope, the carpet is just to thick, so its not stable enough to put flooring over. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cry.gif I have looked a many places and this house soooo close to perfect, just that damn carpet and boring location. I have danced on carpet since I started so I guess why stop now. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif

why can’t you rip up the carpet??
Its not my house! LOL We rent. -
I would try the boots…I thought I had strong hamstrings too, until I started doing the star, and knee holds. That position is really unnatural, you’ll get it! Boots I say! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif

I’m telling ya its all about the hamstrings (the back of the thigh) muscle. It contracts in the same basic manner as your arms bicep muscle….it can pull. On the pole work might include side climbs, the star (this one is great for preparing you for the knee hold) to name a few. For exercises off the pole….squats, walking lunges…if you focus on pressing off with your HEEL you will focus more on the glute/butt and hamstring area. Bridges are great too. I would also try a pair of high sticky boot, this can help you work on your strength without the PAIN https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_pale.gif on your skin, you can then focus on holding the move and not the pain.

I’ve been watching your lessons and I walk into it the way you show it. I have yet to try anything on static other than climbing. I really should. I just don’t see how you can do a full circle lol. I would think my skin would stick to the pole.Ohhh ok, the method in my lessons are only to be done on static…as I said before, the technique is different on spin. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif IF your walking into the moves and using the momentum of your legs, like I show you, you’ll be going way to fast on spin https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif that is why your having a hard time holding on and keeping position https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif .

Yes I second that…use the wall and keep the pressure off your head….engage your shoulders, so your not slumping down into them, so if your ears are to your shoulders that not what you want. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif Use the wall its soooo much easier than the pole at first.
