    I saw those guns you’re sporting! Must have been the slippery pole. 😉

    You have to get a good hand over hand rhythm going so that u aren’t hanging off each arm too long. The hardest part is holding your legs out in the v. I started working on it with my legs straight down first and then started progressing to lifting them out in front.

    it's not THAT hard, if you can do a pull up. just don't reach up too high when you start, and you'll find it much easier 🙂 i covered it in my tuesday tips for upper body conditioning, if you're curious!

    ^ "No legs" climb or "Arms only" climb. I just tried it too and actually kept a steady even V, but bobbing up and down too much. LOL!!! Now my biceps are throbbinggg. Tried 4 times… instead of getting smoother, just struggled worse. Hahahaha

    My pole guru calls it a ninja climb. I think I kind of did it once….. I’m pretty sure my legs were flailing about in a most ungraceful fashion.

    I did it! I think one of my attempts I started from a sit. I was able to do three hand-over-hands. I was happy with that, but so exhausted I couldn't imagine incorporating that into a freestyle, I was done! Ha.

    Amy, off to check out your blog post about it!
