Hi all! I want to do both the gym program and flexibility twice a week, and was wondering if it works for anyone to do both trainings on one day. And if you do so, do you do flexibility first or the weights first? And is it okay or too intense to do both? My plan is to kind of to both of them in one go in the evening after work, would like to hear some thoughts and/or experiences on this!
Shouldermount check in!
Happy with this because I lost my shouldermount last August when I aggravated my bicep. I had gotten my shouldermount back after my ankle break in 2023, and then I had to lay off of it for a few months. But thanks to the INT/ADV band workout once a week, I’m back to getting on the pole after shoulder mounting and usually what comes after it is the leg hooks (my preferred way of going on the pole after sm) ❤️❤️❤️
Hey hey hey!! Qq for community..I did my first floor k today however when I got to fully extending my leg on the pole I started panicking and came down. My foot on the pole was slippery ( or it could have also been in my head lol) anyways I am not sure why this is so scary for me but it is.. does anyone have tips on how they dealt with the fear.. thanks 😊 🫶🏾 Stephanie Tallant


Hello!
I have a rather solid shouldermount (from the ground, I do not have it in aerial) and I master my shoulderdismount. However, I would like to be able to integrate a nice shoulderdismount in my combos, and so hold a nice shoulder position, with a game of legs, before putting my feet on the ground. This is not the case currently: I make my shoulderdismount but I put my feet directly on the ground because my buttocks go down too fast.
In video, my current shoulderdismount.
In the photo, an example of a shoulder pose that I would like to hold while descending. I can do it from the ground, but not after a shoulderdismount.
Do you have any tips?
I hope to be clear. Thank you 🙏🏻

Have you seen the new Low Flow Tutorial with Coach Hannah ?! 😍

Low Flow Tutorial 4 with Co...
Lifes been super busy with a lot of depressing events, so pole has taken a backseat the past few weeks. When I saw part of the challenge was shoulder mount prep, I thought I could squeeze in a few attempts.
I'm lacking straight legs and control when lowering, but those will come over time. I'm fairly new to shoulder mounts, so I'm happy with what I have so far. Here's my attempt at both sides, and I remembered to point toes atleast one time.
