    I had/have something similar..if I'm understanding your description. I have been training with free weight for over 10 yrs. This pain was an issue that just popped up while very pregnant with baby #3. Has been an ongoing issue ever since. I have found something that worked for me though!! Oh I had my kidneys ect check and it's all good.

    I started focusing on conditioning my core including the muscles along the spine. By conditioning, I mean focusing on the smaller sometimes under used, muscle groups. mulifidus ect.

    I pay close attention now to maintaining a neutral position of my pelvis.

    I started working on my back mobility (helps sooo much)

    I bought a new bed.

    If I stop paying attention to my posture spine and pelvis and stop doing my conditioning work it comes back!

    My favorite exercise is hard to describe (I hate typing out instruction) so if you would like I can meet you in chat sometime and show you what I do.

    I had filmed a shot of the EZ connect (was going to show how simple it was to take apart)  but decided to cut it because it took Chris and all his muslce to disassemble the pole joint. The EZ connect was not so easy to disconnect.  Video was not about how to put the poles together, we didn't show how the X pole locks into place ect….

    @ PaytonPlays, I did what I was asked to do, demo/test both poles. This was not about who had the "better pole", I simply showed each pole and honestly shared our experience with it. This is what I was asked to do.

    No, amy I have had it for a few years…its a clothing steamer for sewing (that I never do). https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif I bought it to steam my backdrops. Recently it occurred to me that it might be a great way to clean the pole, and sure thing!! It also warms the pole up so its ready to use in this cold weather. Maybe there should be competition steamers for warm, clean poles!!! LOL

    I have been steaming my poles clean. It takes off grip aids REALLY well, and works in seconds!!

    Check the position of your pelvis!! If your tipping it forward or backwards as you lift? This can cause pain. Also when your doing conditioning or strength work always stretch after, to help maintain muscle length.

    Try working on theses Pole Leg Lifts https://stage.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4db34cf5-c2bc-4c39-9487-24560ac37250whiile holding a neutral pelivs.

    Yes Legend your right. The move I first posted was starting on one side then flipping over to the OPPOSITE side. You can do a Full Cartwheel and Full Roundoff on the SAME side of the pole as well. The top hand should be holding the pole tumb down/true grip. There sould be no twisting of the wrist for any of these moves.

    Here is an old video of me working on the full cartwheel and Round off …I show the difference between the two towards the end of the video. 4:20 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVI52As_K3Y
