Here's a pic of what I've got so far but it doesn't quite look right… https://www.studioveena.com/photos/view_photo/51c63ea2-af24-4587-a2da-10e60ac37250

I'm terrible at this move due to pain tolerance, so take what I say with a grain of salt. From your picture it looks like the pole is not quite in your base leg knee pit, more your calf. The other knee pit should be over your ankle more so your higher leg is turned out slightly and flex the bottom foot hard against the pole…(upon a random google search- here's a blog with lots of pics for you to compare– http://thepoledancersdiary.tumblr.com/post/31322789907/remi-leg-lock-the-remi-or-the-leg-lock-is# ) This should put the pole more on your shin/ankle as opposed to all on your foot. Your foot does look like it's bending funny in your pic. It still hurts like a bitch though.
I get the 'snapping' feeling for both of those moves. I don't do either for that reason. One of my fellow poler friends introduced the 'pretty to pain' ratio… if it's not pretty enough and it hurts that badly, not worth it! I stand by that for moves with a snapping or a nerve compressing feeling.

Hi Korinne,
Thanks for tour feedback, it is very helpful! Yeah i think my foot was bent funny, i think next time I will scrap the heeled leopard print wellies!
The pretty to pain is useful to bear in mind too just as a reminder its ok to not learn everything. Not pretty, not worth the pain! 🙂 Xxx
