Is it the skin or the muscles of the hands? Sounds like skin?
For me the finish I use determines how bad my calluses act up. Brass is really bad, the purple SV pole we use to sell (had a special powder coating) that almost never gave me calluses!! The other finishes fall in-between. I use a lot of lotion all day after poling too.
If it’s muscular that all takes time and being sure to fully warm up and always stretch after helps a ton.

If you have limited space and can’t fit your whole body in frame, try pointing the camera a mirror.
If you want to look taller, keep the camera low, if you’d like to look more like you normally would keep it mid level. If you can get a lot of distance over head can work but if it’s too close you’ll just look stumpy.

AdministratorMay 11, 2018 at 2:40 am in reply to: Muscle Engagement and getting “Stuck” in Iguana MountI won’t feel like an elbowstand because with the Iguana mount the hands are behind you, the legs work the same but the arms feel totally different. I would guess it’s a matter of flexibility and or fear of not doing it right.
Think of it this way, you’re not going to contract a muscle group and then hold….you hold first, as in, lower the body weight into the hands, THEN lift the body. It takes a lot of front folding flexibility to do this and not jump.
Do you have a video of you trying the move? It feel a bit like the Twisted grip handstand press but with both arms. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/5519a74c-1fc4-47c1-84ac-6eee0a9aa0eb

Until you find the right fit for you put some couch cushions down, they’re better than nothing!

Hi Shihyu Liu! I’m glad you like the Take off program! Almost every other program I offer you’ll be able to start on now that you’ve finished the take off program. The flow program is a great next start or the basic invert program. Keep in mind that you DON’T need to be even close to an invert to start the program. Hope that helps!

Hi! Shihyu Liu you’re totally not alone in feeling that way. For me I have to workout in the morning (I’m NOT a morning person) or I just don’t do it. If that’s not an option everything the other suggested will be helpful.
Also know that the programs here are a guide and you can swap out other routines on days you feel low energy. For example doing the flowmotion routine instead of a pole strength routine is better than not doing anything at all. 🙂

Once you’re ready to come back the 30 day take off program is perfect for those coming back from injury or those who have never exercised before. The 3 conditioning routines at the beginning of the section are good as well. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view_category/routines-pole-lessons
