Hello! :) I have recently installed an Xpert Xpole that I received for my bday (yay!!!!) My partner is roughly 135kg (300lb). I have had no problem whatsoever doing intermediate moves such as brass monkey, extended butterfly, poisson etc but I am only 65kg (143lb) I'd love to let my man have a go at some simple moves to help him inderstand the strength taken to do what I do... So I'd love to know if moves such as pencil (not inverted) etc would be pk for him to do... I know that all studios have different terms for moves so basically I'm talking about non inverted, hands only, feet off the floor moves... Thoughts?

I think she's asking if the pole will hold him?

An X-Pole will, but it depends more on proper installation. Many larger people do some hardcore stuff on the poles. With proper installation, prep, and conditioning, there is no reason he can't invert.

Hi ladies, thanks for your responses :) Sorry I wasn't clearer in my question, I meant whether the pole could take him. I would hate for the pole to come down or to cause damage to the ceiling (or my man!)!

Yes, its a real xpole it should be fine, but need to be properly installed of course like mentioned above.
