Juicy J,
Congratulation on your hard work. I really need to have a look at the picture to see specifically what you are doing.
All split grips put a lot of strain on your joints. It is very common to get repetitive stress injuries when learning something new and intense. The problem may not be in your technique, but in the over-use, over-stress on a joint that is not used to it. If I were your instructor, I would ask you to switch gears for a little while and let your body heal up. Maybe there are a few goal moves that wouldn't put so much strain on your elbow.
I would also note that 'locking out' your arm is not the same as hyperextension. I'm curious, do you hyperextend your joint when you do other split grips? Do you hyperextend both elbows when you do a handstand? Have you experienced the same problem with an elbow grip ayesha? The elbow grip brings ones hips closer to the pole and stacks the body more directly on top of the base arm. The farther your center is from the pole, the more cantilever-strain will be put on the base arm.
Let me know how it goes! 🙂

Ha, our studio doesn't incorporate inverts until after the first 24 weeks of classes. Talk about taking it slow!

I won a free VIP expo pass, but I can't afford the plane ticket/ hotel/ time off work. =(

Yes, August. I know I am procrastinating. Your space sounds perfect, but I don't want to intrude. Plus I am staying on the strip (lol) and I have to cab it, so it would depend on how far away you are. I will call the other two studios, I'm not sure if I'm allowed to go to Fawnia's, bc she will be one of my judges. I need a practice height of ten feet. Thank you so much for your response. It would be amazing to meet you. You were my first instructor.

Okay, check this out, I love this video, and I make everyone do these:

You will have to modify for different fitness levels. I call them ab suicides.

Sparrow, I would love to work on this together! I put them in my conditioning class. They are great for any move you would do with little resistance, like aerial inverts. They both strengthen and increase STAMINA that is essential as you are holding your body on the pole or switching from one position to another.

This is funny. I tell all my dates that I pole dance. I usually tell them that I do silk or acro first, to soften the blow, and so they don't picture me naked on a pole. Ha ha. If they are too close minded to hear you explain what it is that you are interested in, kick em to the curb!

I love how my legs look when I point my toes! Like a ballerina! And I have real abs. Thank you poledance/aerial dance.

Pole dancing requires huge athletic ability and committment. Most people would be totally impressed even if they are winking and nodding amongst themselves.
You've chosen an amazing and very provocative sport. I've learned to enjoy both aspects. I don't expect people to think I'm a stripper. But if it makes them uncomfortable, well, I get a little satisfaction from that.
If anyone was making fun of it to my face I would look at them dead seriously and tell them "I am an athlete." They will shut up. Sorry your bf's friend are so close minded.

Oh gosh this sounds scary. I think I will stick with my slowly sinking (lol) naturals if I can bear it.

"I love my inner thighs!"

Remi exteme would be arching your back and grabbing the pole over your head?

Studio's in Indianapolis that I have inquired about pay instructor's 20/hr; those are contractor rates, I don't know about employees
