April Desert Rose, The GET3FREE is a code that allows you access to all the lessons for 3 days, so you can see what they are like.
The 30 day take off is included in the lessons, when you purchase the lessons you have instant access to all lessons, including the 30 day take off. The 30 days is just a guideline and you don't have to do it or have to finish. It's just here for those who want help getting started.

It’s 3 days you can view them then it expires.

Welcome to the site!! You will love the pole and you can give the lessons a try for 3 days FREE. Just use the code GET3FREE. I know you'll find them really helpful! When you do look at the lessons keep in mind that everything is placed in the order in which you should work on them. There's no guessing as to what you should work on for your level. Also included in the lessons is the 30 day take off program, and that's worth checking out as well!! https://stage.studioveena.com/videos/view/50e4694e-a85c-4fa0-8e66-61940ac37250​https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Hi Marty83, I think conditioning the body and having a solid basic invert is really important before working on the inverted V. If you don't have the conditioning for this move then success with this move is not likely.
If you do have the lessons be sure to follow them in the order in which the are presented. This will help you build up to moves like the inverted V.
The Pole Strength routine will help increase your strength https://stage.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4db64418-c354-4da5-aa23-464c0ac37250

Oh you should do the hold by using the elbows however I find that my skin still can be a problem, but it may not be for everyone 🙂

Rebecca Starr is amazing, and in the video she has some great tips too!! However, if you are new to bridges then this might be a bit too advanced. Wrists can hurt when lack of mobility prevents you from using a neutral position for the wrists. It's not so much about needing super strong wrists, but proper placement (although you do need a lot of over all strength for this pose). Tightness in the shoulders, chest, triceps, hips and limited back mobility can prevent proper wrist placement along with weakness in these muscle groups. Also not spreading the fingers wide can cause pain too. You can try using yoga blocks as well.
If you are new to back bending it would be a good idea to start with a few less challenging stretches (you can find less intense stretches in the lessons here). When these become more comfortable then move on to the bridge, starting with the head on the floor variation, working up to full bridge. Don't forget to work on stretches for the shoulders, chest, triceps and hip flexors. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

I agree with DGP! If you have extra skin at all…I do…be VERY careful with this on static, even on spin too. I don't do a lot of moves that have contact like that be cause of the mommy skin I have.

TONS of people have learned to pole dance right here using the lessons!! The lessons are super easy to follow and very in depth. Also, everything is place in order so there is no guessing what is appropriate for you're level. Included in the lessons is a program called the 30 day take off. It's 30 days of planned poling to help you build your strength and avoid unnecessary injury. Here's a video https://stage.studioveena.com/videos/view/50e4694e-a85c-4fa0-8e66-61940ac37250

You were doing a Twisted grip. Here's what the Split grip and true grip looks like.

​True grip https://stage.studioveena.com/galleries/view/4f875b40-2c24-4a38-8614-409e0ac37250
I just want to mention, I don't suggest working on TG too often, it can be very hard on the joints. Other grips are more difficult, but you'll body will thank you in the end. If you must use a twisted grip try working on it from an inverted position off the pole lowering down, to protect the shoulders.

Have you tried working on it from the ground?
