Today you’ll warm up with the Shoulder mount strength routine before moving on to scapula work and pole tricks, then you’ll revisit the Shoulder mount floor DRILL and finish with the stretches in the playlist.

Pro tip: Have you been tracking your progress, through video, notes, or photos? If not, now’s the time to start! Speaking of photos, I’ve made this creative demonstrating different ways you can hold the pole while in Cup Grip! Try all three and see which thumb position provides you with the most power and security as this will vary depending on your hand size, and pole diameter.

  • A. Thumb closed – This is the most common thumb placement you’ll see, but if you feel like you can’t manage a secure grip, try the thumb open (B) option instead!
  • B. Thumb open. My personal favorite. This one is great for increasing stability!
  • C. Thumb extended. Useful for some transitions from shoulder mount!

  1. Hi Veena!
    Loving the lessons – especially since I can’t go to classes atm.
    With the shoulder rest reps, does that mean 3 X sets (of 6/8) each side? Or 3 time each side (6 all up)?
    Thanks 😊

  2. Today’s progress – my descending shoulder mount came back – the one you do from the invert. I couldn’t do it last practice! Small victories – yaaa! Thank you ! Onward and forward… blessings !
