If the link doesnt work…just put in Cat Gennero in you tube.
@amy…thanks. No wonder it feels a little wrong.. Not a lot of core engagement. i have to say my core is my strongest part, so moves that dont use it that much dont feel right.

@amy…from a forearm grip ayesha how close should your chest be to the pole…I cant seem to get rounded enough in my upper body so that my pelvis stays more neutral than imprinted. i feel like I need to master the forarm first, before advancing into the elbow grip, then TG.
@jeaninemarie….I have a video of Cat Gennero ….I'll try to find the link. It's great…very slow..can see all the hand placements and stuff..

"hey Veena..I think YOU are a professional Pole Artist. Definetly a leader in this industry."
Lats and serratus injuries from improper form on lifts and spins. Dont rush it. Did we mention the bruising? Now my husband says I just look like a cheetah with spots…not like I got beat up by the mob with a bag of oranges.

MemberFebruary 27, 2012 at 8:33 am in reply to: X-Pole vaulted mount with Platinum StagesWhy is saying "made in China" negative? Im not a metal worker, but I'm pretty sure Chine and the US have differences in their manufacturing process. Dont cheap out when it come's to falling on your head..buy the product that matches the other product. All companies have slight differences in the products that they sell. I doubt any company would say that their product will work with another…just for liability sake.

I love the book "anatomy of movement" and the anatomy coloring book that Veena mentioned. What Ilove about the "AofM" book is that you have pictures of people and the actions of the muscle and movement, origan and insertion..stuf like that. What I love about the ACB is that you will really know the size and shape and get a real sense of the origans and insertion again, (it also has the "planes" in the front of the book…Know that for sure Oh…the flash cards are awesome too.
If you can visualize the body as first a skeleton, then with the muscles, then you can "see" how they work and the WAY they work. If you know the planes of the body then it will be easier to say know that it is "medial aspect" or "anterior" or whatever. It gives you a way to break it down. Like when you are standing and you bend your knee back and pull your heel towards your bum…that's hip extension, knee flexion, and planter flexion at the ankle joint.
I also you to slowly walk and talk myself through the movement…like this move I would say when I run my back leg in extending at the hip…touch the front of my hip…I am using my hamstrings to flex my knee as I bend it…and touch the back of the leg..find the bony landmarks for the origan and insertion adn say what type of contraction it was. In the hip flexor it is an eccentric…in the hamstring it is concentric..Like that…
This way you are using all your senses to get it into your"head" and since you are very kinectic it will help. Make a unny story up too.
Like the rotator cuff is called the "SITS" muscle..Know it in your sleep.
I also used to right the name of what I was learning about 100-200 times at least….so I had the spelling down. often the name has some great tools to figure out what and where it is.
I found that my Nursing A and P didnt really help with my fitness stuff, I am also a Massage Therapist…(not active) but that was different anatomy too.
When you do the coloring book…go through the ace and just pick the muscles they want you to know…otherwise it will take you a lifetime to get through that book. The flash cards too…just pick what Ace wants you to know.
If you get a chance take a fitness related A and P course. I went through the USCD extentiosn program for Personal Trainers and it helped a lot witht the fitness stuff.
