Shoulder pain… how do I know when I’m ready to attempt harder moves?

Body Talk

I’ve been doing pole level 2 for a while and have a gymnastics background.

I took a pole 2&up class where they let us attempt an Ayesha from a Jamila entry. My shoulder hurts now on the side I failed on. It’s not that painful just sore when I move it in certain directions but I’m paranoid because I’m aware of the implications of shoulder injuries in pole.

I felt strong and I cross train but now I’m feeling like I have no idea how to know if it’s safe to attempt certain tricks. I’m not weak but I’m not gymnastics strong the way I used to be either. I’m rlly lacking guidance and also worried abt my shoulder ofc.
