Your top hand is not gripped correctly! Your elbow right now is bent forward. To grip the pole correctly, if your elbow were to bend it would go backwards toward the pole (but it shouldn’t actually be bent for this move, just trying to explain the proper positioning). An easy way to get into the correct upper arm grip is to start beside the pole and reach up and grab it with your upper hand. Then walk your body in front, and then to the other side of the pole while keeping your hand gripped to it. Once you have the proper upper arm grip, it will help to support your weight so you can lift your leg off the ground 🥰

Look up a tutorial please 🙂 your hand placement is all wrong and getting into the pose is different when spinning

The twisted grip hurts bro. But I saw another option where you don’t use the twisted grip and it’s like a C hold, I’ll see if I can find it and screenshot it again

you have to use one arm to walk halfway around the pole and then you add your right leg onto the pole with your foot touching the pole as well and then you use the left leg to swing yourself around the pole whether you’re going forward or backward

It might be easier to go in front of the pole and then reach upwards to get your spine in alignment with the pole but also your top hand needs to be oppositely gripped

Try get your top arm straight with your thumb up. Reach out and over your head like you're doing a big stretch. It'll allow you to hang from the hand easier and relieve the pinch on your legs. I find going in from a step around may help, it'll have your arm already there. It's looking incredible btw 🙌❤️👏👏👏

The arm that’s on the pole has to be twisted a certain type of way for you to even be able to hold yourself on the pole while you’re spinning by the way

Switch youre Hands in twisted Grip...Standing on the left Leg, Hip Up youre Hips, (Show the but hole 🤣) and swing youre upoer Leg the right Leg arround. Then you have to push yourself arround the Pole ...so that youre left Leg can catch the Pole.
