Hellllooooooo Stephanie Tallant !!! My friend Alyx and I are embarking on a doubles adventure this summer!! Do you have any muscle engagement tips for moves like this, where we completely support one another? Additionally, do you have any off the pole strengthening exercises you or Coach Tiana recommend?? We’re considering doing a doubles routine at a comp in September, so now’s the time to train!!!! Thanks friend ❌⭕️
I tackled Day 2 of the Gym Program today and had a super solid sesh!! Here is a clip of the first superset (bent over rows, DB press, and lateral raise). The 25lbs on the bent over row and DB press was super hard for me, but I really wanted to push myself! Coach Tiana would love for you to take a look and see if you have any feedback on technique. Felt good!! And thanks Coach Tiana for the extra notes you included this cycle! They are really helpful for me in knowing how to approach each superset.

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!!

Vanessa asked me about a Floor K Tutorial. I do have one on Youtube! I demonstrate this move on both sides first and then I talk through the setup and entry about halfway through the video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsAK0hg0rg8&t=20s
jamimah this is me as a baby 👶🏽May 2023. These clips are from the same day so I'm the same level of flexibility in both. In the first one I'm focused on reaching the hand to the pole and having "where the f is the pole" frustration. In the second clip I focus on getting the pole lined up in the crease of my hip and getting that contact point of thigh/torso squeezing the pole first and then reaching for the pole happened easily.
