    I am so PYSCHED! I never ever,in a million years, thought I would be able to do this.
    I do the prep exercises at the begining of every class and I knew I was getting stronger but I did not think I was anywhere near ready. At the end of class tonight I was just messing around and went to do the prep exercise and suddenly I was upside down. WTF! I could not believe it and had to do it again just to be sure.
    I am so proud of myself. This is honestly a move I watched other polers do and was in absolute awe. Obviously the form is far from perfect but just knowing I can get up there is enough for me right now! If my shoulder is not too sore tomorrow I will be trying it again for sure!
    Where is the video camera when you need it!
    Going to bed tonight with a huge smile on my face and looking forward to practice tomorrow.
    Night ladies – thanks for listening.

    Thanks everyone.  I still can't believe it myself. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

    However, my shoulder is soooo tender this morning.  No more practicing today.

    @creativitybysteffie – You may be a little jealous of my shoulder mount but I am a lot jealous of your absolutely stunning CKR (mine doesn't look half as nice) and your stellar body! 

    Today I will be adding moves to my "to do list".  Moves that I would like to try now that I know I must be a little stronger than I initially thought.

    Have a great day everyone.https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif

    Yey for you! You must be over the moon. It just goes to show that patience and persecerence (spelling) does pay off!
    Congrats – just remember to take it a little easy on your shoulder cause mine hurt like crazy in the beginning.
    Woo Hoo 🙂

    I just got mine too! I did it a few times before but was so inconsistent… so I made up my mind and started from the floor. Well in doing so I figured out that my hands had to be higher up the pole!(I think because of my hight, i got the idea from watchn Legend’s vids) anyway Yay!

    Yeah for you!  I had (and still have) a tough time wrapping my head around why the Shoulder Mount works.  Like you, I can finally do it, but it's not as pretty as I would like it to be.

    Congratulations!

    Thanks! It realy helped me doing it from the floor because I wasn’t scard of fallling. It will probably be quite a while till its pretty though. Im gona try to perfect it from the floor where its safe. 😉
