One thing I notice that I think is messing with your positioning is your bottom arm seems to have a broken wrist rather than keeping the wrist in line with the forearm. It looks like you're having the contact point be your wrist rather than your forearm which would make it much harder to hold majority of your body weight. I personally set up the bottom arm first so I can get the harder contact point first as well as upper back placement before moving the top hand onto my inside thigh. I'm doing a different entrance here but you can see it's like "grab at neck level and forearm on the pole" was the correction my teacher gave me in class this week to get into the position faster.

jamimah so I didn't post the question on the app bc I didn't want to seem like I was complaining about being too flexible and come across as obnoxious 😂, but the question was what do you do for the jade stretching exercises if your foot is already touching the floor and you don't feel anything when you're supposed to be pressing the back leg into the floor.

No handed jade. Took a while to figure out how to not immediately slide down the pole 🙃🙃🙃

You're wild for this one, if you think I'm about to straighten that top leg 😂😂😂😂

I'm convinced Stephanie Tallant could probably literally cure cancer with one cue. What a queen 👸🏼

There's like so many factors at play for my grip at this point including season, pole finish, humidity, what move I'm attempting (if it's a new/harder move for me) that it's a science experiment still in the works. I have dry, cold skin, with cold clammy hands for reference 😂 Summer time with chrome finish pole it's been monkey hands gluey on my hands, shaving cream on my entire body. In the winter time I add itac to contact points like knee pits, elbows etc and use dry hands on my hands instead.

Espi yeah pole time is way different. Inverted time goes by x10, 2 points of contact like x100, on spin x1000, and if you do a combination of the above then it's a synergistic effect 😂😂😂😂

Yassss so strong!!! 💪🏽you held that for like 10 minutes

WHO SAYS SHE'S NOT A SPLITS PERSON 👀👀👀 (no I won't let it go 😂)
