Hey all, I just got an x-pole for Christmas, (because I'm too chicken to practice in front of anyone) and I've been learning.
I'm doing very basic things for now, but I think I'm a little too eager because I've been trying things like the knee hold and shoulder mount and not succeeding. Is this just because right now I am starting and my muscles that I don't normally use aren't strong enough to lift/hold myself up?
I am very sore in all areas of my arms, and my shoulder from trying the shoulder mount and my knees from trying the knee hold. My upper abs and shins are also sore or bruised. Does this go away over time? and how long does it take? Also, I've searched other posts about the skin ripping/pinching feeling, but no one has really said whether or not it goes away.
So, for those of you who are now pole veterans, how long did it take for you to build up the strength, and get use to the pinching?

I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the advice!
