For you Patrycja Nowotarska ! See how both hands have to release in the beginning. One hand moves in front of your face to start the climb with a push while the other goes up around your belly button (in cup grip) to pull into a pistol/ shotgun grip. Then the legs move slide up and the process repeats. Please update me when you try again!!

Yay thanks so much for posting this here Patrycja!! Layla gave really great advice!! I'm going to post a video here in the community feed of me doing the caterpillar climb (I will tag you). If you watch that along with what Patrycja said, it should help a lot.

Knocked out a gym workout from the App this morning!! Those single leg heel elevated squats are something special lol I've seen subscriber, Espi working on these too, so I know she can relate! 🔥 And a reminder to all subscribers: Coach Tiana and I want you to feel supported with the gym program. It’s common to not know how to do something and it’s always good to ask for a “technique check”. If you have questions or want a video reviewed, please post it here in the Community Feed and tag Tiana!! 

Happy Training!
xoxo
Coach Steph

YES! I've had a very similar experience between stainless steel and chrome.. needing different grips. What those grips are probably depends on the person, but I think it's very normal to need different ones for the variety of pole finishes. I know many people that swear by itac, but I don't personally like it. I recommend you try it anyways though! Other ones to try:

Grip it (on Amazon) https://amzn.to/4fbLqQwMonkey Hands (I like the red one): https://us.monkeyhands.eu

In general I have dry skin, so it's important for me (in all seasons) to get a little sweaty before poling.. it's help my grip ALOT! If it's tough for you to sweat in the cold months, one of our subscribers has this AMAZING dry skin spray (Thuy Dinh) that I love to spray on before warming up and it works like a charm!!! https://heauxxxapparel.com/products/tree-frog-grip-dry-skin-formula
