You will stop rotating by keeping your top hand in neutral grip too. Web of the thumb should be pointing towards you. Also keep your shoulders straight, and keep your head centred.

This is why Split Grip is no longer taught as a beginner move.
It is essentially a one-handed grip, with the 2nd hand stabilising. If your top arm (and shoulders) is not strong enough, your bottom arm compensates, and the pain you’re feeling is absolutely classic of this.
Bottom wrist must be in neutral alignment, no bend at the wrist. and the hand should be relaxed, not squeezing the pole. -
The light bouncing off the object being captured by the camera travels twice the distance than when placing the camera in the same spot as the mirror. So yes, you can get twice the distance away, making the object appear smaller in the viewfinder, and thus being able to fit more of the object into the frame of the video.

Film into a mirror. You can get twice the distance away due to reflection angles.
cos, science! -
Here’s mine with bleach on at the salon: http://instagram.com/p/rmTzusMWWM/ (it didn’t come out any more than this)
Kimberley’s after 3 bleach-baths in the salon:

Unfortunately the blue and purple dyes do stain your hair with that pale greeny blue. You’re the 3rd person I’ve spoken to in the last WEEK who has tried to bleach their hair after colouring it purple/blue! The 2 other people went to the salon in the first place to get the colour removed, and even after 2 or 3 bleach sessions can’t get the last bit of green out.
I hate to say that it probably won’t come out even with a professional’s touch. You may be better colouring over the top.I have to add that I did it too 2 weeks ago. But I’ve just re-dyed mine purple so I wasn’t bothered about the residual green tinge.

ooh it’s actually very similar to “water legs” or “medusa”. so really STRAIGHTEN the knee in the backwards motion part.

Try in just a basic baseball grip hold, belly on the pole. You can walk “either side” of the pole. If you do it *just off the ground, you will have to move your feet more naturally.
-
Look up at your knees
-
Do not open sideways in the hips, you are much more likely to tip out especially if you are working on your strength.
Looking up, straighten your body so the pole runs down your centre line. Let your leg go back directly behind you.
-
LOOK UP
Can you see that in your torso, the furthest thing from the pole is your shoulder? It’s not so stable in this position. Use your bottom hand to push up like a handstand so your butt is the highest/furthest point.
Also bend your top arm slightly to start using your bicep more. This will take the pressure off the calf muscle that is currently doing the job of holding you *in*, once the bicep starts working, this will start doing this job instead. -
HAHA that user manual is hilarious. “Pls” instead of “please” on the front. How professional.
-
Good point on the direction of the spin!
-
I’m opposite to veena, I mostly go direct to inside leg. make sure you’re not “inverting” yourself too much, and keep the pole in your side/back as you go over. I hook my leg around and my back is parallel with the ground.
If I go from outside leg, I have to spin/rotate about 90 degrees (on static pole) to get the pole out of my armpit and into my back, so on spinny pole, maybe you’re not catching up with yourself? -
Yes definitely HIPS UP, your hands want to end up by your pants, not halfway up your thighs.
2 things: 1 work on the abs to get the hips higher (TUCK tightly before tipping backwards), 2, work on the shoulders/arms so you don’t drop out to straight arms, your arms will still be slightly bent even when you are completely inverted.
