Stephanie Tallant hey this is my first post and I attempted the upright mermaid Remi Sit Butterfly Planche combo. I couldnāt fully push into my butterfly and I think I didnāt slide my hand down low enough and bring my top leg up higher?

Coach Tiana, I have a question specifically for you!! š¤©When Iāve being doing core workouts recently, I noticed that when I think about engaging my lats, my abdominal muscles seems to engage more too. For example, Iāve noticed this with hollow body holds. Is this is my head, or is there something real happening here? Thank you!!!!

Stephanie Tallant heyyyy watched your Marion amber video qq my top hand/grip doesnāt feel secure for me to release that same leg off the pole, I feel pressure on the base of my thumbā¦ am I pressing into the pole with my thigh? Also do I need to tilt my chest to the ceiling a little bit more? Do I need to be a little bit more butt over shoulders? Lol so many questions š!

Stephanie TallantĀ and Coach TianaĀ I have actually problem with my flexibility, which got worse after I started regularly going to the gym and lifting heavy weights (4 weeks - 2x lower body, 2x upper body). Even though I'm currently trying to include flexibility at least 4x a week, I still feel like it's just not there. First, I have a problem with the front and middle split. Somehow I hit the ground running, today the hamstrings are pulling me very hard. Should I include some extra stretching or warm-up for example on the roller after strength training or after my cardio sequence (50 minutes of skipping every day). Roller is very popular now, but I don't know if it will help. I'm desperate about it. Thank you very much!

I've received feedback that having two weeks for the challenges would be really helpful! I do agree that this will give you all more time to practice and further explore all the new (or old) things! I love feedback like this and am always here for it. Thanks students!
Videos will appear at the bottom of this post on July 15th or click this link:Ā https://polewithsteph.com/community/posts/july-15th-two-week-challenge-flamingo-tangled-split
Your Weekly Challenge! Flamingo (upright & inverted) and/ or Tangled Split
I know... It seems like a completely random selection of two moves, BUT there's a really cool combo I love to do with Flamingo & Tangled split, so:
July 15th weekly assignment: Watch the tutorials and attempt at least 1 (or all 3.. depending on your level).
July 22nd weekly assignment: More time to improve the ones you've already tried OR time to explore the others! If you feel good with both the inverted flamingo and the tangled split, you can watch the combo demonstration that will be added to this challenge on the 22nd!
SAFETY: There are different levels included in these challenges. Please approach new moves safely. Use a crash pad if you have it or if you have a trusty spotter, that's great too. I want you all to be safe, that's my #1 priority :))Ā If you're unsure about the prerequisites to the moves, please feel free to ask that question in the Community Feed ("Hey Steph. I really want to try XYZ, but not sure if I should. What are some of the moves I should have before this?) and I can help you determine if a move is appropriate for you to try!
Requirements:

Because there are different levels included in this challenge, you do not need to mark all videos as "watched". However please follow BOTH of the other requirements
Share a picture or a video of your butterfly (or any of the variations, combos, etc) in the Community Feed at www.polewithsteph.com OR via your app (photos can be posted via web and app. Videos can only be posted via the web version either using a web browser on your phone, laptop, iPad, etc). Just a screenshot is totally fine if that's all you're comfortable with!!
Share a picture or a video on Instagram and tag @stephanietallant_pole and #thebestpoleapp
Each month, there will be one randomly selected winner chosen amongst all members who complete the weekly challenge at least TWICE during the month! š

Your Weekly Challenge! REVIEW TIME!Ā
July 1st & July 8th: Butterfly and manyyy variations
July 15th & 22nd: Tangled Split, Flamingo (upright & inverted) & combos with other move like upright mermaid, Remi sit, and poisson
What does Review Week Mean?
-Revisit a challenge that you missed OR
-Revisit a challenge that was especially difficult for you OR
-Revisit a challenge that you freakin LOVED OR
-Pick a different move that you are already comfortable with and challenge yourself to flow in and out of it as smoothly and cleanly as possible
Why?
Often times in pole, we bounce around to the "next cool Instagram move". So I love having review weeks in my personal practice too, which gives us a chance to further connect and explore different moves and sequences that we've already done in the past. Our bodies LOVE consistency when learning new things. I hope you enjoy this week!!

Ever feel frustrated with a move? I really appreciate our subscriber Jamimah for sharing her frustration with a move (it's sometimes easy to share our wins, but can be difficult to share the struggles, so thank you Jamimah). There's been some good Ā conversation on this post so take a look:Ā https://polewithsteph.com/community/posts/vanessa-stephanie-tallant-so-i-don
Keep crushing it babes!

Hello šš¾ I have a question for those of you who perform/competeā¦ how do you handle sweating a lot? I sweat a lot and I have this fear that Iāll fall off a pole while competing because Iāll be too sweaty and I canāt stop to wipe myself or the pole down. When I pole at home 85% of my time goes to wiping down my pole, allowing my body cool down or even wiping myself down ( I bought a coated pole just for that reason..) I use dry hand but I always joke that someone needs to create a whole dry body so I can just jump in it lolā¦ anyways excited to hear your tips āŗļø
