    Also in terms of tips…. How do you get into the twisted grip currently?
    Are you talking from the floor? Or from up the pole or both?

    I had to master it from a cartwheel or handspring (whatever you call it) before I could do it from being already up the pole?

    And from the floor I had to get into the position from putting my had up into normal grip and then walking myself around to the other side of the pole keeping my hand in the same place (so it ende up in the same kinda way it does in a reverse grab) AND then handspring!! For some reason the conventional way just didn’t feel right … It’s fine now but when I started I didn’t have the sweet spot ?

    I think chem is right!
    Twisted grip can cause shoulder and wrist issues… More so than other grips!
    But if YOU want to do it go ahead loads of people do, I do but it’s not my preferred grip.

    I would make sure you can do it in a normal split grip first, if you can and still want to work on twisted, make are you back it up with lots on wrist and shoulder mobilising beforehand and strengthing/flexibily exercises for shoulders, (strengthen those wrists too, Veena has good videos on these)

    Like any other move it takes practice so keep trying but don’t over do it!! Try a few times each time you train as just relax about it 😊
    You will get it! And if you really don’t .. Maybe your body just may not be built for it and in that case… Cup grip!! Or split or elbow!! There’s loads of options open to you and who knows you may like them better!!?

    I love cup grip but I ❤️ doing elbow ayesha!!

    Good luck!!

    I can not believe this!!!
    The among of FB ads I see telling us the ‘secrets’ to the perfect body!!

    Maybe they just don’t believe you have had 4 children Veena and therefore deem it an unrealistic body image!!

    Idiots

    Just freestyle as often as you can, if will feel a little forced and robotic for a while it you will loosen up!
    Choose music that you really relate too and love!!
    I was the same but now I dance all over the place!
    Keep going it will come with practice practice practice! Xx

    Your not harassing them!! You worked hard and those prizes are AWESOME! Of course you want them!

    Personally I see this as a massive fail on their end, you shouldn’t be doing the chasing, once you won they should have, asked for email/postal address etc.

    What package have they sent? I’m super disappointed for you!! I would keep on their case lol
