6Lefts @81' grip@13'10" TO@12'

1 more item... Instead of picking your feet up to clear the bar, think of swinging your right leg through: your left leg will already be bent from the take off and jumping action... try to swing the right leg through to your top hand or higher... practice swinging on the bars at school or on the pla...

First off.... You are doing a GREAT job!!!! Your four Step run (four Rights as you are a lefty) is "Spot On"!!!! 1) Do not worry so much about the pole bending right now. 2) Work your grip up an inch or two inches at a time 3) the deciding factor to move your grip up is determined by how f...

Is there a formula or equation that relates to how high you can grip straight poling to how high you can hold with a normal bent pole? Example: If you can hold 12' straight poling, what could be a max grip height with a bent pole? Could it be factored by multiplying by a given number like 1.2 or 1....
