Most painful moves!
Just a fun thread.. we all know "no pain, no gain" was written about pole lol. What is everyone's most painful move so far?
"Burning" wise.. I always hear about superman being really bad, but I never had an issue with it. Scorpio is by far the worst "burn" for me, right there on the inner thigh. Ouuuch.
Bruising/tenderness wise, I think Jade splits have been the worst for me, I have the world's shortest torso and it's so hard to avoid smushing my ribs. That and knee pit holds, which I still can't do.

I didn't think anything could be worse than hip hold for me – and the only reason I even really pushed for that was because I wanted a jade so badly. 🙂 Then I started working on my knee hold – due to a knee injury, my knee was not stable enough and my legs weren't strong enough to make it happen.
I thought that after getting my knee reconstructed last April that I would be able to do it – except that the site that they used to harvest my hamstring graft now has a screw in it, and that is exactly where my bottom leg contacts the pole to support me. I still try it once a week, and have always felt like I had a high pain tolerance – but yeah. This makes me want to cry. I may have to just accept that I am not that tough of a chick! And that is ok. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cool.gif

The most painful for me has been knee hold.

Amen! The kneehold by far is the most uncomfortable.

Scorpio is killing me right now. Same reason, the inner thigh pinchies.
The superman only really hurts me the days AFTER I pole (right up by my butt crack.) https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif
I can't even do the yogini or teddy yet from the pinchies. I gotta work on my armpit grip more.

I just started learning pole poses and such, and the first one I was able to do was an inverted crucifix. And man, did that pinch my thighs. They were on fire and super bruised.

I have no trouble with superman, I find kneehold I still cannot let go! And Scorpio still gets me!

Im jealous of anyone who does superman w out pain! I slip it into most every combo I do – and it still hurts like sh*t! Knee holds, scorpio, hip holds..no pain- superman 10 plus!!

Embrace and no hands cradle. My tummy just isn’t used to that level of burn, especially my belly button!

Anything involving an armpit grip. I can't even bear the pain long enough to go into or try anything with it. Just my weight being held there and not even my full body weight is enough to make me want to scream. They are soo tender. I've actually almost wondered if maybe I need to try using a numbing agent on them to make them a bit less sensitive until my skin gets used to it.
Thankfully this is the only spot I have had a lot of issues with. Jade, superman, ect no issues. I think my legs are just tougher then most.
