   Awesome lesson! Thank you! This happens to be the move I’m working on now so your lesson came at the perfect time for me. 🙂 🙂

   Yay! This monkey climb is a great strength builder since it works both sides (the light and the dark side).

   Where is post/thread about just getting up to a knee-pit hold? I am currently trying this and I can use my knee pit grip a little for one climb, but I can’t get it to stick there. Where do I work on that? It seems like you have to have a knee pit grip that isn’t humanely possible!

   If it helps at all, Porshka, I only started doing these climbs about a year into pole dancing. I even “cheated” at little at first to have a mid-way point. I gemini’d up, pushed up into a shooting star (also heard it called a star fish), and then pulled up–clack clack–one hand/other hand. After doing that for a while, I didn’t need the mid-way point–especially since someone told me I was cheating, when I thought of it as a good transition. Pushing the inside hip into the pole, and really crunching in those abs…that’s what got me up there. Such a really great strength builder for BOTH sides!!

   Hi Porshka, 🙂

   Something that will help improve the knee pit grip in addition the JelliCrews suggestions would be the Side Climb

   remember to work on the lessons in order, this will help you progress to the next move.

   Wow this looks interesting! Can’t wait to try it! This looks like a great strength builder as well as an endurance builder!!!
