    If you purchased your subscription through the app then you will not have access to lessons here on the website. If you purchase lessons here on the website, then you have full access to everything including the app.😊

    I still have a few of these old poles, in fact I’m about to install my old 45 TG! I have had a chrome 50 stuck for years and then just release the next try, I don’t even know what I did!! There is a “shock” method you could try https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jlrjv-1KjPk&t=10s. You might try heat or cold on the joint, just make sure it doesn’t get wet. Good luck!!!

    I had chrome Ellie’s and they were not any heavier than my pink chrome pleasers. I wore the same size too. In all brands clear heels are heavier, so maybe that’s what people are talking about?

    The 30 take off program was made for just this situation 💜

    Have you checked out the lesson for it here? You may need to build a bit more strength before moving on to this if you’re just getting back into things. 😊

  • Yay!! Keep working on the caterpillar, this gives you everything you need to hold the position.

  • If you deal with hypertension try focusing on keeping a slight bend and contracting the bicep of the extended arm.

    I’ve not, but I’m guessing it would be fine.

  • Don’t be discouraged at all…the split grip bfly isn’t basic and isn’t the first one I teach. Remember the lessons here and in the app are all place in a particular order that works well for MOST people. There are always exceptions. Also if you want a rock solid butterfly start with a super strong caterpillar, you gotta be a caterpillar before you become a butterfly.:) Try the caterpillar program if you haven’t already and you’ll get more comfy with the bfly soon!

    Yes, try one of the programs in the app. They all include warm ups, strength work and stretching suggestions. I created them for people who don’t want to come up with their own plan. 🙂

    For distance I go by personal preference and most of all where my ceiling beams are!! You want to anchor into a joist so for me it always depends on the home. I like to use 2 separate joists so it’s about 16 inches. It makes for a nice open hammock.

    PS…as far as technique goes, you have to start in side pole hold, then let the arms extend as you lift the hips up! This is why many students suffer from scapula or intercostal pain. They do it too often or before they have the strength and muscle memory and often only on one side.

    The tuck invert is far more difficult than the basic. You’re basically deadlifting and unless your basic invert is very solid you don’t need to worry about the tuck right now. Have you gone through the invert program? This will help prepare for tuck and aerial inverts as well.

    Don’t get stuck on a move. I see students obsessed over this invert and it’s not even a must have move. Relax, try it now and then, and keep working on other things in the meantime, because everytime you pole you’re building strength overall. Tuck invert is good for building strength but the basic invert is easier on your body and I think looks more fluid than a tuck anyway!

    Hi! There’s no set timeline as far as how long it should or will take a person to do splits or back bends. Both of these take time and most of all consistency, but that doesn’t mean training heavy every day!!!! You need rest days to see improvement. As mentioned try my 30 days to flexy program, this includes the whole body and tells you when to rest and gives you tips everyday too.
