    Posted by HazelHotpants on May 5, 2010 at 8:02 pm

    I can do them, and I can hold them for ages. (I won’t say I can do a move until I can hold it for a long time)

    My problem is, my back seems SSOOOO far away from the pole. I will watch other people do it, and they are really close to the pole.

    Is it my leg position? Cos I am worried this is the problem, and will have to start from scratch practicing my grip with my thighs differently.

    Or is in because my back isn’t flexible enough? As I’ve looked at others and they don’t seem to be bending their back that much. Where if i wanted to get me anywhere near the pole I’d have to really bend my back. (Which I can’t do) https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif

    Please help me Veeners!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif (I’ve attached some photos to show you what I mean)

    I frankly don’t see a problem with your CKR and CAR, they’re really pretty! I like them better when people aren’t very close to the pole – holding yourself away means you have the muscles to do it! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

    If you want to get closer to the pole, you need to grip it lower on your thighs, so the pole will almost be against your kneecap. That allows you to lean down more.

    My CKR is far away from the pole also but I think it is meant to be that way. Now for CAR I am much closer, but my grip starts close to my butt in the back and catches just before my knees on the front.

    for CKR i think that’s typical. for CAR, same as chemgoddess, i have the pole come closer to my knees on the top of my body.
