What's your current nemesis?

polergirl · 2013-07-27T10:14:54+00:00

I thought it might be fun to have a nemesis thread....who knows, someone may have a great tip for yours, and you may have a great tip for someone else's! For three stinkin' years it was superman. I could do aysha, straightedge, aerial SM, you name it.....all long before I finally nailed my superman lol. But now it's mine. Ha! And Because of my seemingly endless superman-related pain and suffering I'm an excellent superman troubleshooter, yay! Then it was a dead lift handstand to the pole. Got that one too, after giving up on it about a million times. So my new nemesis move seems to be batwing. No can do......yet!!! Oh, that and EG iron X. So troublesome. And, uh, meathook.

so many nemisis moves atm that i'm working on, but i'm struggling with TG SM into butterfly. dropping my head and my hand down the pole frightens me haha! i can do a normal butterfly fine, i think this one is merely a fear barrier that i need to work on .. and not pole-specific but the splits!! i stretch, and stretch, and am still like half a metre off the ground :(

You Veeners are amazing! Pole dancing is SUCH hard work and I love to read posts about people continuing to better themselves, to learn new things, to keep at them even when it's frustrating. Anyone have tips for some of the moves listed in this thread? I have Cupid tips but don't want to be a thread hog lol

You guys are all too fancy for me! Lol. My nemesis right now is just inverted Venus. I can get into it no issues, it's holding it that's a problem. I know if I just keep plugging away at it though eventually my core will be strong enough to hold it.

But I CERTAINLY welcome ANY tips! :)

My nemesis moves seem to change quite often, but right now it is Split Grip Ayesha. I've got the EG Ayesha, but I'm struggling to find the balance point that works with the SG. Also, that dang Aerial Shoulder Mount! Working on tucks for now...

Janeiro!!!!!!! uhhhhhhhh i cannnnot get my top foot over the pole without help. With help I've got it no problem but without I fall off everytime I go to get that heel around the pole, soo frustrating

Grrrr...Side Saddle Superman. I can flip my hip over just fine into regular superman. I have no problems bringing the bottom leg around from Gemini into a Genie but for the life of me I can't get into the side saddle....grrrr.
Polefit Korea · 8/2/2013
Side saddle superman tip - What I realized after pulling off that move was that arching the back was the key. Arching your back as much as you can will make it easy for you (I think.).
polergirl · 8/2/2013
I put up a little superman vid here for anyone who may be having trouble with the hip flip. Hope it helps, please let me know if so, I'd love to hear superman success stories!! XOXOXO

Bloody Fonji. I've had 2 serious attempts at it in workshops. After the first I developed a painful breast lump. Several hospital appointments later it was decided that was probably caused by blunt trauma. A few days after my second attempt a mole I've always had on my collar bone suddenly dramatically grew. Another doctors appointment to which he asked if there was any chance it could have had some form of impact or trauma. Umm... On each attempt I felt I was getting pretty close but the medical complications are stopping me from progressing any further.

JH--I have zero motivation to learn the fonji, and even less so now! 😲
