Engage your shoulders! What does shoulder engagement look and feel like on the pole?

This anatomy of pole video is part of a blog post on shoulder engagement for pole dancers. You can read the full post here: www.thepolept.com/shoulder-he...

Would you consider posting another version of this video with quiter music (or no music) in the background? It's hard to process the info while trying to tune out the music.

i needed this video so much!! i struggle so much with shoulder engagement. thank u.

[@ThePolePT]

Yay! So glad it was useful! Thank you! 🤗

Wow, this visualisation helps tons, so thank you for that! Amazing work. I always thought that aligning my shoulder in Aisha means the same as you do with strength gym exercises (scapula down and tight) and here I could clearly see what I do wrong. Keep hearing that I need to work on my pushing (lower) hand in this grip but not exactly what is off and that finally explains a lot. I know it's been two years video but still very valid so shout out to you :) looking at your strength book now ;)

[@ThePolePT]

Yay, glad it helped! :) Thank you! ❤

Actually seeing what my shoulder should do is really helpful. Especially the depiction of the skeleton is awesome. I love your explanations so much. 😊

[@ThePolePT]

Thank you so much! ❤

Sei bravissimaaaaaaaaaaaa.............. anche se comprendo poco l'inglese.. con l'animazione diventa comprensibile! E... sono attivi i sottotitoli anche in altre lingue.. fra cui l'italiano! Se vengo a Londra verrò a fare una lezione da te!!!! E.. sono sempre in attesa di comprare il tuo libro.. quando sarà tradotto in italiano! Elisa De Chello, italiana super brava.. magari potrebbe???

[@ThePolePT]

Ah, grazie mille! È uno dei miei obiettivi per il 2021 averlo tradotto. 🤞 Spero abbia senso, ho usato Google Translate! 😆

Thank you! Love this! The devil works hard but the Neo works harder educating pole dancers around the world to train efficiently and injury free!

[@ThePolePT]

Haha right! Devil's got nothing on me, I'm ready. 💪👊

good information, but the music is pretty distracting for the amount of information you're sharing.

[@ThePolePT]

Thanks for watching - and for the feedback Michelle. I've stopped putting music on the videos now! 🙌

[@geli1940]

Music too much. Please talk a little bit slowlier.

[@ThePolePT]

Thanks for the feedback, I'll take it on board for the next one. 👍
