What is it that you can’t get with the elbow grip?? Is it balance or it just feels weird, hurts? Also what moves are you trying to do using the elbow grip?
What do mean when your asking about the reverse grip? the spin or a just a grip? Also if you had a vid it would help too! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

I was told by webmaster it can really mess things up, If we keep changing user names. It’s pretty complex but the basic idea is.. the system can’t keep track of you, and you will not get emails or updates like you should and other screwy things can happen. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_ncool.gif So pick your names carefully https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif Most sites wont allow name changes.

You can also try the elbow stand or hand stand against a wall, until you get use to the feeling of going upside down https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_shaking2.gif For upper body…try doing some strength moves in addition to your pole. Remember it takse time to build muscle and strength. Your muscles need time to rest and repair, so don’t use the same muscle group heavily every day, leave a day of rest in between, for muscle repair.

Also when doing the split grip, have the index / pointing finger following along the pole, this helps to keep wrist bones and such like in alignment and prevents carpal tunnel and other injuries. Ergo, keep it in alignment with your forearm, so they are in one long line.
Rouge is right about the index finger! So be sure your not trying to wrap all your fingers, all the way around the pole, like you do for a regular grip. Some dancers never have a problem with pain and the split grip, but I have so I need to be very careful, I’m not a lucky one https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif Also sometime (not every time) I will wrap my wrists with an ACE bandage, if I plan on using my 50mm (the larger size seem to aggravate the problem not my 45mm) for a long practice with a lot of straight edges, twisted grips and things of that nature.
Make sure you have fully warmed up your wrist and hands before you start spins and any heavy use of your hands. Dance around the pole for a bit first, do some wrist circles, get your hands warm https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
Remember to stretch your fingers and hands/wrist after you are though with your work out too.
Here is an exercise that will strengthen your wrist/forearm muscles https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rambo.gif
