I got the SHOULDER MOUNT

Posted by Forever Young on April 24, 2012 at 2:24 pm

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.

Congratulations!! I’ve just started the exercises for that-and goodness knows I need the inspiration to know it can happen. 🙂

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. 😉
