I like using my converse when I want a shoe, I like that they’re still light weight and not bulky.
Here are the shoes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9AB3d5IHTk

Injuries SUCK!!!! Honestly time seems to be the answer. Making sure to do the rehab and warm up blah, blah, all that’s been said and it IS important, but time has been what ultimately helps. I’ve not found a quick way to fix an injury, I’ve researched and learned a bunch over the years but in the end most injuries just take time.
I tore my pectoralis minor about 6 years ago helping lift a free standing fireplace up some stairs when we were moving. It hurt forever and it wasn’t even a sudden ouch I’m injured moment! I still have some issues now and then and it took a good 2 yrs to not bother me. But I really started to see improvement when I stopped focusing on trying to desperately get back to “normal” and just was careful and moved on. I think sometimes when our thoughts are focused on “oh no, I’m injured” we keep reinforcing that something is wrong and it slows the healing process…..THIS IS JUST MY THEORY!
Our bodies do have an amazing capability of healing and MRIs will almost always find something wrong as well, it’s just the nature of medicine, if you go looking you will find something.
Here are a few articles:

Not saying you don’t have a tear, or that it’s not the issue, but they have done studies and found that finding tears or disc bulge is common and many of the subject never even had pain. Again I’m not saying you don’t have an injury, I’m just trying to give you perspective on it and tell you not to stress. Give it time! 🙂
How about focusing on lower body like improving lines and core while letting your body heal?

If it’s a low impact cardio go for it!!

Depends on your fitness level, as in how long you’ve been training. Are you following a program here and asking?
-
I would say the kind that tie would work best.
-
Yes, I would just give it a try and if it’s too challenging move in to the flow program!
-
If you’d like to keep pushing and growing then changing things up is good! Try working on the nailed it invert program, don’t worry you don’t have to be close to inverting to start. It’s a great way to continue working on what you know and learn some new stuff.
If that seems too scary then you can try doing the take off again and adding more reps, and different moves in place of what is suggested.
You can also try working in the Flow Program. Remember with any of the programs you can add in any individual moves you’d like to work on! Just do them at the end or wherever it fits in the program for you.

jodienormore8800. Great job working on the invert. As you progress switch your arm placement, right now they are opposite of what they should be! So, inside arm sould be the lower arm/hand outside above that one. If you have your hands place as you do now, you will find some transitions difficult because the hands won’t be in the right place.
I have a bunch of lessons that show invert placement 😊

Depends on your goal! What do you want out of pole?
-
Biggest tip is stay tucked, until after you flip the hips, knees to nose as the lesson goes. Lol I like to rhyme ðŸ˜

The Marley requires back and shoulder mobility, flexy and hip flexors
-
Holding the top hooked leg will require more back mobility! Have you tried it like I demonstrate in the lesson here? Learning it first without holding the top leg should help put you in a position that doesn’t put as much strain on the body.
-
How are you doing the Marley, holding top foot, hooked foot, both feet, no feet? Using my lesson, and what entry are you using?
-
If you really wanna improve on NOT using the foot try working on climbs with low cut socks. This will force you to really use between the knees and back of the calf!
Oh and it’s normal!

Hi PolewithSoul!
Here’s a little video I made showing the differences between all the “stands” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmIciddJyPY
Working on the Forearm stand which is head off the floor is more difficult and requires more shoulder and triceps strength, not to mention more balance! There’s no harm in working on the head off the floor variation, just be careful that you don’t get into a habit of arching your back to stay balanced. It’s really common when first learning the head off the ground (forearm stand) variation.
