This style of pole climb is all about building strength, which means it's important to train both sides equally. Even if it feels too hard on one side, keep trying. It's okay if you don't actually achieve a climb right away.
Because this is a strength-building climb, I do not want you to use a Push Grip. Instead, you'll work with the Pole hold or modified pole hold.
Please keep in mind this is not something that everyone will be able to do immediately, but it is very important to work on. Keep showing up to practice this. You haven't "failed" if you don't achieve a climb right away. For some people, climbs might take a week or a few months.
I'll teach you how to do the basic climb on static and spinning pole.
