I've read a some good ideas I will try next time, use more than just my thihg, press my ankle into the pole and wrap myself around it. I get into it with a regular invert and then switch my legs so I just have to let go ith the back leg and it's scorpio. As I was thinking about it with the comments, I don't think I let myself come to equilibrium before I let go and dropping into it. Perhaps it will burn less if I hang out in a regular grip for a second and then let go. On my next pole session I will try all these ideas! Thanks guys!

Good to know it can take several months for the pain to go away. I'm going to keep on whimpering.. haha!

I have a 45 titanium and a 50 stainless steel and my friend has a 45 stainless steel. All of them are Xpoles. I love the brand. I prefer the 45 titanium over all of the other poles I have used. It is easier to grip and I don't have significant more difficulty with other grips.

You could also buy a couple of bean bag chairs. I use those and it works great. I wear my heels when doing some moves becuase I can step between/around the bean bag chairs. I am working on CKR with no hand, CAR and wrist sit. They have caught me several times. I tried using cushions before, but they slide all of the place on the laminate flooring. The bean bag chairs stay put. I can walk around/between them in my heels and they are really cheap.

I will stay on the look out for reviews to Alethea's DVD's.
Enigma–I can't afford to purchase all of the Be Spun DVD'sI I would like to try. 🙁 Which do you most recommend?

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm going to bug my sister to see if her regular camera will do the job, if not the hunt will begin at Costco!

For my Gemini, I don't kick in the in the invert. I am a member of a good studio and they have gotten me out of that habit. I don't have a camera to take a video at this point. Perhaps this is something I can do this weekend. I just can't seem to get my legs over my hands to be able to grip that way. I invert and try to wiggle my way into position, but can't seem to do it.
For the CKR and CAR, my legs just don't seem to lock. I have been doing a lot of strength training on them and what I have been doing hasn't been helping. If I use my hand for the CKR to grab my foot I'm fine. I just can't get them to lock like I used to.

I have purchased the gloves and I do have a sweaty hand problem. I think they work okay, you still have to put dryhands or mightygrip on first or they don’t help at all. I find that my hands still get pretty sweaty and the are a marginal help. I have been improving strenght and working consistently and some days are better than others. Here lately I have noticed that no matter what I do I can’t get my hands to stick to the pole at all! I’m considering putting anti-perspirent on my hands to see if that helps. Perhaps it is the winter weather, my pole is in the basement on cement floor and it is always freezing.
Good luck!

I want to do it so that I can get my aerial invert! My friend does it like it’s nothing but I’ve been struggling with it. I do a lot of ab exercises and try to pull up several times each practice. I won’t see my pole instructor for a couple more weeks so I wanted to see if I could get tips here. When I talk to her I’ll post to tell you what she suggests. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
