Recomendations for what to do on a thicker pole?

BagLady started this discussion · 9/5/2014

I'm away from home for the next month working in a club. The only pole I have access to is at work and it seems thicker than normal. Early in the shift when it's quiet I can play and practice. There's also not that many girls so I'm on stage a lot. Other girls are using lotion (arrrggg!) making it damn near impossible to climb. Can ya'll throw out some ideas for tricks and what not to practice? I can do CAR and scorpios, geminis. Leg grips seem easier than hand grips. Any ideas much appreciated!

First thing that comes to my mind is Knee hold. It's more comfortable with a thicker pole since it distributes the force more on the lower leg and doesn't make it quite as painful as on other poles. CAR is perfect. Cupid/star I would say as well is more comfy. I find thick poles sucky for things were you need to twist you upper body around it, such as twisted ballerina.

Hello Baglady! Hope the work is going well. Thick, slippery pole: would go with gemini into hand stands with wavy legs/hip tilts and booty shakes (always a crowd pleaser) Can also do forearm stands if easier. Come up by locking thighs and doing CAR pull ups (impresses some customers) Hello Boys/wrist seat and slide. Plank/twisted scissor plank/advanced plank Jasmine/star Elbow hang stuff Slow fan kicks Figurehead/hood ornament This is more for you to have fun than to get rained on but it's a pole, it's playtime heh heh...

You could also do fallen angel and any moves from that (i.e. bow, archer). If you'd like to play with some flexy moves jade split and machine gun are a little easier on the pole since there is more pole for your side to come in contact with. Have fun playing :-)
