Your leg that's hooked on the pole you need to start with it hooked way higher so it's above your hips or it will be almost impossible to get up as you're fighting gravity. Even when I get my butt in the air I actually slide that leg up the pole even more as I'm extending the back leg to make it easier and a more natural butterfly position. It is a massive push to get your butt in the air though similar to the feeling of doing a Marion Amber or hypothetically if I could do a sneaky v 😂

Thank you!! 😊😊😊

Thank youuuu 🙃🙃🙃

Thank you Espi 🥰🥰🥰

Finalllly I'm back doing challenges

Literally the same, for my home chrome when it's cold I use itac for my knee, elbows, other crevices and monkey hands either sticky or gluey depending on how much stick I need. You can borrow mine before you buy if you want

Yasssss I screamed for you!!! Such a huge win 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Hi everyone!!! I'm proud of my immune system for finally deciding to stop attacking my body this week so I could get back to poling 🙄I'm also proud that I did a cup grip handspring and tried to do a phoenix when I usually avoid strength moves 🙃

Your positioning when sitting on the floor is correct! You just need to do the same positioning when standing. When standing you are starting with your feet and back too close to the pole which puts your shoulder in the wrong position and your hands too high which makes the arm too straight like you said and makes it much harder to get your legs in the air. If you notice on the floor your shoulder and back start in a nice straight line and your arms are in a strong bent position which sets you up nicely. I'm certain if you start in this position while standing you will be able to have the exact same results as when you are sitting because you have the correct technique!

I feel this Espiiii! I'm in a flare and I've been moping bc I haven't been able to pole much either and sad about missing the challenges the last few weeks ☹️
