I have been poling since April 2012… I did my first invert in June or July …. But I still cannot do It from standing to kicking up into it… I just recently learned To do a hangback… Into handstand/split …. And back upright… U definitely need to have very strong legs & abs… So u can pull urself back up… It helps if u use itack or some type of very good grip aid…Everything comes in time and with practice … Practice and more practice. I have also been recording most of my practices so I can c where I need to improve and how I look… Don’t rush the hard stuff just to say u did it…. There r tricks i have been working on for a month or two before being successful … Learning correctly will prevent injury and encourage u to continue safely … It’s a good idea to have a spotter ( if avail) or crash mats. ( I use the thicker yoga type mat for the most part) … But knowing ur limitations is important also … Keep doing strength exercises so u can progress… I have jamilla’s art of pole series… Go to pole classes as much as I can… And do my own research from veenas lessons and other online sources … Don’t get discouraged if u don’t nail something right away… Some things just take longer … Stay positive and keep practicing. U will get it when u r ready 😉
