I finally got the shoulder mount!!!!
I had been working on this move for quite a while and I just wasn’t getting…this past Saturday I was trying it and still having trouble because I couldn’t get my butt over my head. So I went to the gym tonight because I hadn’t gone in a looong time and to make up for it I had a very long/difficult weight workout so my arms were pretty much jello by the time I got home. I wanted a picture of the straight edge split so I had my sister take a couple pictures and when she left I decided to work on my sad shoulder mount attempts…and then I did it! It was so amazing! I didn’t have my camera on because I wasn’t even expecting to get it but I turned it on and did it again just to make sure it wasn’t an accident https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_tongue.gif . Anyway I know a lot of people here can do the SM in their sleep so I have nothing to brag about but I’m really happy I finally have the strength to do this move because I had been working on it for ages!
I posted a video of my second try…I would definitely like to not have to kick up so hard but I think I overexaggerated how much I needed to fling myself up there…and my landing sucked but I held it for a little while and I’m really glad I was able to do that. OK done bragging…thanks for listening to my self glorification everyone haha! But I do have to say it seems like a lot of people have been getting new/challenging moves lately so I’m really proud of everyone. Happy Poling!

Well done it’s a tough one to get. I can do a shoulder mount but only sometimes I’m working for consistency now. I’m still having to fling my legs up too to get up there hopefully one day I’ll do it with a bit more grace.

Congratulations! I was also overjoyed when I got the SM 1st time and when I stopped poling for 2 years it was the last move that I got back, so I know exactly what it feels to nail this move. Well done!

Thanks everyone! Yeah in my vid I am definitely flinging my legs up way more than I would like to but hopefully that will get better with time. I was so excited I did it and then I went to wrap my legs around the pole to get inverted and smacked my head on the pole and fell https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_tongue.gif I got this on video but I will not be posting it hahaha. It’s a weird position to get inverted from though, but I think the falling helped me get the hang of it! Thanks for being so supportive everyone!!!!
