Lyme, the true grip isn't used for the Basic invert, that would be much like inverting with one arm! It's used for decending from off the pole, spinning while inverted… like in the spinning V/chopper…or to hold a static V.

I can't remember if you're taking the lessons Rixi, but here is the Getting started for Stretching. It will tell you how often and help you create a stretching routine. It covers the difference between stretching and flexibility training as well. https://stage.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4dd66731-eab0-4b4a-aa13-41ad0ac37250

A smaller diameter pole can be a bit more challenging to climb. Also at home, a common issue dancers have is lack of warm up. Without a proper warm up you'll find things like climbs, pole sits most leg moves very difficult. The environmental conditions may be different in home as well affecting the grip. In addition, check your climbing technique, there may just be a few tweaks that need to be made to make climbing better.
My tips:
Are you warmed up?
is the pole along the front of the ankle, inside of the knee's?
is the scapula engaged and arms at a good climbing height (not too high not too low)?
Are you pushing down and into the pole with the climbing leg?
Here's the basic climb lesson if you're interested. https://stage.studioveena.com/lessons/view/233115a0-b889-11df-856f-001b214581be

Lyme, I do it usually when I say V out, in a lesson. You can see the hand placement in the Gemini lesson Watch my top/outside hand you’ll see the v out at the end. https://stage.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4cbdc217-f41c-407e-ba70-538d0ac37250

It’s no more than 3x a week 🙂 and the first 2 weeks are only strength or conditioning not pole work too.

My dad is hearing impaired, has been my whole life. DedeJoy has wonderful suggestions.
I'll add……Don't worry about making the student feel bad by turning the music down to describe moves, because…… I bet everyone would understand a bit better without blasting music.
Don't forget to speak slowly, not crazy slow but don't rush or mumble. When I talk with my dad I have to keep my voice strong but not shouting either.
Facing the person is a big one. If I don't face him he wont understand at all. I use a lot of facial expressions and gestures, to get my point across.
After class you could privately ask the student if there is anything else that would make their class time better.https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

If you want to send me an email I could help you come up with a personalized plan. It would be a lot of back and forth questions so email might be easier than on the discussion board. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

How long have you been pole dancing and training 3 days a week on pole with strength training? Are you taking your rest days and staying off the pole? Have you tried not using any grip aids, not everyone needs them and they could cause blisters. Are you also saying you do strength training and cardio on your non pole days?

Try taking a look at the new aerial invert lesson. This will give you some more tips and exercises that can be done to also help with the chopper!!!

You've come to the right place! The lessons here are designed to teach the beginner who has never touched a pole, to more advanced students. Everything is placed in order so you progress by building strength first. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Sensual is right…Spins on smaller poles are easier on the joints too. At least for me. You'll feel like you can hold on forever! You'll have to adjust a bit to either size so I say, go with which ever you like. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
