    I should’ve asked if you’re talking about deadlifting against the pole/wall or out in the open? If you want to do it against the pole that’s far less challenging! I was assuming you wanted to do it without support. Still challenging tho with the pole.

    First can you hold a handstand? A deadlift handstand is crazy hard and it not only requires balance but control, strength and flexibility. Unless you’ve been a gymnast in the past you should not expect to do a deadlift in a the first few tries! It may take months or years!!

    It will focus on the basic invert but if you do the program you will gain strength and technique so it would help!

    Remember when working on new stuff, there’s never a reason to go up high or not be using a mat so grab a mat and stay low. I hope you all are finding this program helpful!!

    Yes, the 30 day program would be helpful when you’re ready. This is a video I made a few years back (it’s not related to SV) it’s great for getting back into working out after having been really ill. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NznyiEdLrDE

    We’ve never sold lil mynx, lil mynx had created a pole for us, we only sold that one pole. The Studioveena pole has been discontinued because they we unable to continue with the special paint job. We have always been an xpole distributor but haven’t always had a link for the pole. I love and have both brands.

    Cat, I mean that split grips themselves can be done too often, and too soon. It’s not a natural or easy position for our bodies even in cup or regular grip and the shoulders still need to be able to stabilize the body, so conditioning is very important. However, I still feel TG is a bigger issue for more of the population than regular grip, they all can cause injury if not done with respect to our bodies abilities. I dislike TG so much because it is EASIER to HOLD when kicking up into, than a cartwheel or handspring done with cup or regular SG. It’s easier because the arm bone has rotated in the shoulder socket in a way that makes it feel “locked” into place, making balance less challenging. I believe that is why it became so popular…. it allowed more dancers to get into the inverted cartwheel/handspring position faster. Cartwheels and Handsprings done with regular and cup grip are HARD!

    Hi! So glad to hear you’ve enjoyed the take off! Yes, you can just warm up and work on pole moves when you’re at home. Just remember to follow the lessons in order so you know what appropriate for your level 😊

    I had to create a new YouTube account when I contributed to post vids while pregnant! It was fellow polers who flagged my vids and wrote me emails about how horrible I was and that I was a terrible example for pole. I expected it from the public be not from people I thought were in my “tribe” it hurt.

    Now on to sexuality, I have sexuality and pole as a mom, listed as one of my scope topics for this week!!!!! Women can be sexy however they choose and it shouldn’t matter if they have kids!

    Split grip was all I had figured out when I started!! I didn’t know elbow or forearm grips were used! 🙃
