The Side pole hold is a fundamental move and grip. Understanding and using this trick properly can help prevent injury and allow you to move smoothly into inverts on both static and spinning pole.
This trick is placed in the beginners section not because it's easy but because it is a strength building move. If you're finding this trick to be challenging or even frustrating, it's ok and normal. Most people need to work up to any trick that requires you to hold your body weight, so give yourself time!
Please don't hesitate to use the beginner modified exercise options until strength is built as shown in this tutorial. Always train both sides because once you're ready to start working on inverts, you never know which side will feel more comfortable.
