Thanks for sharing Susan!!. Excited to see this one happen for you in the near future! I think the little extra lat engagement will definitely help with this too. Keep us updated!

Yayyy thanks for sharing this here Ely!! I'm so proud of how much your shoulder mounts continue to improve!

Thanks for sharing this here Danetta!! It sounds like the upcoming challenge will hopefully give you some good tools to put in your shoulder mount training "toolbox" 😊

Videos will appear at the bottom of this post on October 14th or click this link: https://polewithsteph.com/community/posts/october-14th-two-week-challenge-shoulder-mount-technique-conditioning

Your Weekly Challenge(s):

✨Watch the videos included in the collection below. I've separated the videos in a couple different levels depending on your comfort (or lack there of) with the shoulder mount. I know it's really easy in pole to want to focus on pretty shapes & combos, but dedicating time to dialing in technique and to conditioning fundamental pole moves is just as (if not more) important and will only make us stronger for those pretty shapes & combos we all want to achieve!

Requirements:

  • Click "Join"

  • Because there are different levels included in this challenge, you do not need to mark all videos as "watched". However please follow the other requirements

  • Comment on this post with a picture (screenshot is fine) of something from your training this week (it can be anything... a move from the challenge, a screenshot from a flexibility or gym session, etc).

  • 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!

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 :)) 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!

Shoulder mounts were soooo challenging for me (& honestly still are without consistent conditioning)! I'm excited to share some of the drills that I use with my students as well as some that I do in my personal practice to condition and progress them!

Let's welcome our new subscribers!! And to all members, new and old alike, what's your "shoulder mount" status? Never tried it, tried it but don't quite understand it, love it, don't like it, it's complicated? lol Read my answer & leave yours in the comments below! (P.S. shoulder mounts, progressions & conditioning, common exits, and straight leg shoulder mounts will be the topic of an upcoming challenge 🎉)

WELCOME NEW BABES!
