    Is there any other spot you could put it? If the floor is sagging enough to make the pole uneven I don’t know of any quick fix. Hopefully someone else will. You could try posting on our Studioveena FB group too. https://www.facebook.com/groups/

    If it’s painful as in sudden, and sharp or pain in joints that’s not right. If it’s muscles working, as in they feel weak, shaky or burn that’s normal. You should never do something that’s painful…the only pain that is normal in pole is the burning on the skin when learning new things.

    To better help you it’s important to know how you’ve been working on split grips?

    For now here are some tips:

    Don’t do split grip practice everyday when starting…it’s too much!

    ALWAYS stretch the hands and forearms after you pole.

    Take a look at this lesson to make sure you are using proper technique. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4f859429-2dbc-41f1-86e4-282a0ac37250

    You should be doing conditioning work for the hands, forearms and shoulders for at least 2 weeks before moving on to split grip work.

    Start with partial split grips. 🙂

    I’m not sure if it’s a self assessed imbalance or professional but if she has clearance from a DR, there are several! The Lower body conditioning routine, Yoga block lower body workout, the Lower body routine, The flowmotion routine, the middle splits routine, and the front splits routine. As far as 30 day programs, the 30 days to flexy could be beneficial. There are a number of things in the Exercise section as well.

    The Caterpillar and Shoulder mount programs here would help! I have you do everything on both sides and many of my students have used these programs to improve their bad side!

    Welcome back 🙂

    Hmmm. I’d don’t think I have a lesson for this. I could see if I can do a Bonus lesson for it tomorrow if you still need help.

    It’s ok to spread the program out a bit, it’s more of an issue with the 30 day take off because it’s meant for those who have no previous training so keeping up with the days is helpful. Not such a big deal with the more advanced programs. Totally recommend the invert program before the SM. 🙂

    Oops I see you’re trying the controlled momentum 🙂

    Are you trying to lift from standing or are you using my controlled momentum method? It will be much harder on your body and more difficult in general if you try inverts and shoulder mounts from a dead standstill. If you don’t know the difference between kicking (wrong) and controlled momentum check out my Tips for controlled inverts https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/567a2af8-fba0-4a0f-bd3c-0010ac110002.

    Also I don’t use that position as a prep move because it usually doesn’t help prepare anything. The only benefit I see in endlessly kicking up from shoulder mount or invert position is to learn timing. Even if you don’t have time to do the invert or shoulder mount program I suggest taking a few minutes each day to just watch the lessons and read descriptions. You’ll see what I use for shoulder mount prep 🙂
