Stephanie Tallant I didn't listen to the weekly assignment, got distracted by the dove part in your video, and decided to revisit it after my previous disaster attempt (ego recovering). Superman is still not happening but thought of the figurehead thing you taught a few weeks ago and wondering if this is close to a dove 🕊️ and comment on the entry? 😬🙃

Stephanie Tallant here’s the other side. Also how cute is it that my friend and I ended up doing it at the same time? 🥰

With this week’s theme of LAYBACKS, I wanted to share a layback combo that I did with my in person student Elsa today! I’ve linked tutorials to all the individual elements of the combo:

- Airwalk (tutorial for beg, int, and adv options https://polewithsteph.com/programs/beg-int-adv-tutorial-airwalk-fairy-walk-dfdb79)
- Reverse grab spin https://polewithsteph.com/programs/beg-combo-tutorial-front-back-hooks-barrel-roll-reverse-grab-spin-73c325
- Climb to cross knee layback https://polewithsteph.com/programs/beg-int-tutorial-layback-cross-ankle-and-cross-knee-acfbf2
- Closed Scissors https://polewithsteph.com/programs/int-tutorial-non-inverting-combo-tutorial-cupid-genie-gazelle-martini-scissors-03bbf8

Anyone else up to give this one a try?

I know is not beautiful yet but I am so exited to share my first inverted libellula thanks to Stephanie Tallant coach ❤️

Hi I'm new to pole so first time posting here 😊 Although I am trying hard to pull the shoulders back in the invert I feel my chest is not yet as open and my hips not as high up to allow me to hook the knee easily to the pole. Is it just a matter of strength or am I missing some cues?

Gotta love a tough quad superset! Clip from the last round of the reverse nordics & leg extension from the gym program 🔥😅☠️

Thanks Coach Tiana for making sure us polers don’t skip leg day 😉

This program is accessible to all subscribers! https://polewithsteph.com/categories/category-0iZpaoMwiZE

Coach Tiana ok a different angle with more weight

Revisted some of my favorite bird of paradise drills this morning! There is ALOT of content on this app to help you start training the flexibility and strength for this move AND to help you achieve this move on the pole. Go to “catalog” and simply put “bird of paradise” in the search bar! And remember to do as much as you can on your “2nd awesome side”! 😉 It’s important to keep your body as balanced as possible when training these extremely difficult moves! https://polewithsteph.com/catalog/search?search=Bird+of+paradise

Coach Tiana - went up some in weight- I tried to bring my elbows out some- it looks weird - what am I doing? 😂 I’ll go up in weight on my last set
