Feeling a bit Stuck
I’m starting to feel a bit stuck when it comes to my progress in poling. I’ve got many basic pole moves down and do a lot of strength building sessions on and off the pole, however, I feel as if I’m not becoming strong enough to move forward. I feel as if I’m still in the beginners phase although I have been Poling for about 3 1/2 years and have taken countless classes. I get enough sleep and rest between poling sessions, as well as eating right and taking vitamins. But I feel like I’m getting nowhere and at times seems like I’m going backwards with my progression.
Is this normal? -

It’s a common feeling so you’re not alone there. First ask yourself why you pole, is the goal to enjoy yourself, get fit, compete? I’m hoping the goal is to enjoy, and if that’s the case the “level” you’re at doesn’t matter. One thing that can help set your mind at ease is to record your practice so you can look back and SEE that you really have become stronger and improved. Another thing is to PERFECT, to many student are in a rush to learn more and more and they forget to perfect the movements they know. Also some people think they train a lot, but unless you have been consistent about training at least 3 times a week for over 2 months you can’t expect to see huge gains. So what is your goal, why do you pole, how often do you really train and is it consistent?
