Have you checked to see if you can find a stud/joist?? Have you tried the knocking method? If your ceiling is plaster a stud finder wont work right, so you will have to knock. If your positive there are no joists then you can’t install a pole. YOu have to have a beam/stud/joist to place a pole under. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cyclops_ani.gif

Hmm you have intrigued me, I’m not 100% sure on the descending part but I wanna give it a go. What would the ending position look like?

No, I don’t do this grip. I’m not injured anymore….the bicep injury was due to a fall I took (10 months ago) while carrying Henry in his car seat….I had the handle over my left arm and step off our garage steps onto one of my boys scooters. I knew I was falling so without thinking I lifted the seat straight up (about 30 to 40 pounds) I didn’t want my baby to fall and hit the ground!! Pretty sure I tore my biceps tendon. I just kinda shook it off and went about my life. I should NOT have done that…at the time I didn’t know I had injured myself so badly. Next day I went to a fitness convention and did a bunch of stuff I should not have done with my arm. I did let it rest after that but not long enough. The problem came back when I started to do twisted grip moves, it was too much for my arm at that point. I still will not do them. I saw drs and nothing helped so I did my own rehab and it worked wonderfully. I still keep the split grips to a minimum but its no longer a problem https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif If you wanna see my blogging about the injury you can if you go to my page. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Thats great you got it figured out! Tantric_Limpet’s advice on the hex key was something I had never thought of!! https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif Sounds like your pole is working just fine now, when on spin it wont turn on its own, like if you turn it by hand it wont just spin and spin, but it shouldn’t catch, if its catching then its too tight, and if you feel like its spinning forever when your on, thats the way it should feel…nice and smooth! https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_puke_l.gif

Yep everything Rubi mentioned is right. All lessons are in order and I also tell you in the lessons what you should be working on before you try that particular lesson. I will also have routines and many others, lessons are being added daily. Everything from stretching to strength training, with and without your pole. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif

Something else you can check….make sure your not too close to your pole when your leading into your spin. A hip widths distance away is good, sometimes more depending on the spin. You’ll get it. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Good luck! https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif I believe Empy was talking about the ankle damage I had mentioned the knee https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

I’m sorry your having to deal with haters Mini https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cry.gif I get a lot of rude emails and comments too. It seems to come in spurts. If its a video I know some may have a problem with I change the setting to comments for friends only…the problem with that is you still have to see all comments to approve them, which is still hurtful. YT is just annoying, either my music is taken away or some loser flags me or I have rude comments. I had my "Carol of the Bell" video removed for "inappropriate" content….please https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif I have a new hooping vid I wanna post but I’m not sure if I’ll YT it or not, because I my belly skin folds up and hangs over, I’m sure some idiot will have a hay day with that.
Your a beautiful dancer and person Mini try not to let stupid people bring you down. Don’t even bother responding to them because they are NOT worth your time!!! Your fab! https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif
Very classy and well stated Veena! I totally agree…BTW..what is a YT Flag? You say someone flagged you?
If you are flagged (its just a button they push) then you must be over 18 to view the video, it blocks the vid from minors. Some moron went on a flagging spree last year on my old channel. The video I just had removed was NOT DUE to music and there was NOTHING remotely inappropriate about it I have NO clue why it was removed…it was this video that YT took down.
http://ver3.studioveena.com/lessons/view/2269" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;YT is an easy way for someone to target you and stay anonymous, I also had a lady sending me emails on YT when I was pregnant telling me I was no better than a drug user, because I was dancing while pregnant. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif She created 3 accounts just to email me, because I would block her each time. Some people are nuts-o!!
If your gonna be on YT you better have thick skin I guess. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumbdown.gif

Empy…I think you might not understand how I approach using your foot in the Scorpio, its really done more by turning the hips so the hips are open, (this makes a big difference) keeping the pole along the leg, and pointing the toes, angling the ankle just enough to catch the toes, and lightly flexing the toes against the pole.
If someone is doing a Scorpio the way I teach, then your also learning the method of opening up the hips which will extend the move causing your leg line to become longer along the pole. This allows you to use the foot without over extending the ankle (I should say I don’t teach them to wrap the ankle in the lessons)….when done properly the position/strain on your ankle/foot, should feel no different than wrapping your foot around the pole for a climb. I could see where it could cause a problem if you were to hold your hips square with your leg really bent and then attempted to use your foot, but trust me, dropping your outside hip makes all the difference. Plus, your not holding all or even most of your body weight with your foot, its just the tiniest bit of pressure if any, its not like twisting your arm for the Twisted grip handspring, where the poor joint carries all the weight.
A persons anatomy will determine weather they can perform the Scorpio with the foot or not, if someone is bowlegged then this method would be a bad idea also if you have longer thin legs it will be easier than if you have short thick legs also pole size is a factor to as I said before. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

I couldn’t see how/where to make comments on your vid so I’ll post mine here:
You shouldn’t need to compensate your grip on the pole by wrapping your ankle if you hold the position correctly. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_salut.gif
To comment on a video, all you do is click on the big comment button. Then click on + add comment.
I wouldn’t consider hooking the foot onto the pole hyper extending, the position most dancers use when they hook the foot is more of an ability to point the toes than roll your ankle (if you understand how to do it) …. simply adding your toes into the equation isn’t hyper extending. It really depends on the size of your pole too, its much easier to add the toes on a smaller diameter pole. I would say if hooking the foot began to bother your knee (because it will slightly change the leg position) then you should stop. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
