Susan Papp Mlodzienski response to your question you posted here on the feed:

  1. Hamstring engagement.. make sure both heels are actively squeezing towards your booty
  2. The sequence of the setup.. it's important to create space between yourself and the pole (which is why spin can be helpful for this move.. the spin helps create some of that space):
    1. inside arm is high and straight
    2. outside reaches out, hooks at the elbow
    3. top arm releases so the elbow arm can grab the inside shoulder
    4. the free hand grabs the foot

I'm posting a slow mo video of this setup.
Update me!!

John Flynn asked a question regarding more intense shoulder stretches to add to his daily shoulder stretches. I gave him the idea of elevating feet in bridge which is a really good way to put more of the flexibility work in the upper back and shoulders. I filmed a video of this and added a few other ideas as well!Back & Shoulder drills filmed for a specific student on the Pole App, Pole with Steph.

Also I think the other thing that will help will be continuing to find connecting with the armpit/ back of tricep be the elbow

Hand grip, backside of the shoulder & tricep, and TOP leg thigh (which replaces the contact point on the bottom leg inner thigh during setup).
