Well it depends if they are under the muscle, I havnt had a boob job but I know someone who has had hers done under the muscle and whenever she tried to do a pole move she could feel the muscle lifting and separating her boobs and it looked weird and felt weird so she never tried any pole moves after that. If I ever got my boobs done I would have them over the muscle for faster recovery time and so they wont affect my muscles for poling

yay thank you!

A: Muscle is not heavier than fat – one pound of muscle weighs the same as one pound of fat; however, muscle is much more dense, and so one pound of muscle looks like one firm baseball, while one pound of fat looks like three soft NERF balls. An increase of muscle does obscure a loss of fat, and so don’t get hung-up by your weight on the scale. If you want to follow the actual changes in your body composition, either get tested at a high-quality gym or track your measurements all around your body (chest, waist, hips, thighs, etc.)
WHAT is this?? YES muscle is heavier then fat! one pound of anything weighs the same as one pound of anything else IT IS STILL A POUND. however a tennis ball size lump of muscle will weigh more then a tennis ball lump of fat. sorry i have no idea who wrote that but it doesn’t make any sense. i have gained a stone (about 14 pounds) since i started poling but my body looks ten times better and i’v lost a size in clothing from a US 6 to a 4. another tip could be to use a body fat moniter to show the change and not worry about it however don’t watch weight, watch size xxxxxxx
1 pound of anything is going to equal 1 pound of anything else, so in that sense, muscle is not heavier than fat. Kind of like that joke, "What weighs more? A ton of feathers or a ton of bricks?" Obviously bricks weigh more than feathers, but it is a trick question since a ‘ton’ is a weight measurement.

I got that Q&A from one of my websites I read, I thought it explained it fairly well. But what it meant is that muscle is denser than fat. Have you ever gotten a gallon of milk and a gallon of water and held them in each hand? The milk weighs WAAY more than the water even though it is the same volume. Just like muscle and fat. See how in the picture it is exactly 5 pounds of muscle and fat and the muscle is much smaller than the fat? Sorry for the confusion. -
So you have until spring? so about march, thats about 27 weeks. Its safe for you to lose up to 1% of your body weight every week. Any more than that (with the exception of the beginning of your diet, since your body is getting rid of water weight) and your body starts to burn off your muscle. For most people thats about up to 2lbs a week.in the last 33 weeks ive been able to lose about 34lbs, so about a pound a week on average. but ill lose like 5lbs really fast and then be plateaued for 5 weeks (super annoying lol) I have lost 60lbs total so I know a bit about it, i practically had it down to a science before I started pole dancing again. Since pole builds muscle you have to go by inches and less by the scale, you might find yourself in a position like this for example..
Q: Is muscle really heavier than fat? I haven’t seen any weight loss in over two weeks, yet I’ve noticed muscle definition in my arms and legs. My clothes fit slightly different too, but I would really like to see a change on the scale.

Ok the other night I went to a pole jam with some friends who also have gotten samples of itac2, I get there and the pole is already warmed up, i grab it and its really grippy, she has a chrome 50mm x-sport. I asked how the pole was so grippy and she said she put the itac2 on the pole. It allowed us all to take turns on it without having to wipe it down first. at least for 30 minutes, then it kinda wore off. im not sure how long they were on it before I got there. when I tried to put more (#2) directly on my hands after it wore off on the pole I ran into the same problem I did when I tried it the first time.

Just take your measurements. your clothes arent getting tighter so you obviously arent getting any bigger. I used to have an awesome comparison chart for fat and muscle. im gonna have to look for it and post it later

I know of someone who met a guy who didnt think any woman over 80lbs was attractive, no matter how tall/short they were. Another one for the loony bin!

Then is there also a problem with Leigh Ann dancing to Nickelback – Shakin Hands, which is a song about an escort? That certainly cant be good for pole dancing’s image!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRhNvV8_ZmgIn my opinion, they are just songs. When people see people perform to songs they aren’t familiar with most people aren’t even paying attention to the lyrics. I saw a performance to Nickelback – The Next Contestant once, I was like, OMG that chicks so hot *drool* the whole time, i watched the performance again online and realized the song was about a hot chick everyone in the bar is trying to get with, took me a couple listens to even realize what the song was about! I dont know if thats just ME and im slow with lyrics, but yea. its just my take

it looks like shes reaching under her leg with her left arm and holding on to the pole as well as squeezing the pole between her leg and thigh, I dont know the name of it https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif

omg cool! haha, what was her reaction??

Maybe you should shower before you go to bed and put lotion on then, that way you have all night to absorb the lotion before you play on the pole the next day. Lotion is a good thing, it helps your skin look better, keeps it hydrated to look younger longer, and dehydrated skin doesnt stick as well to a pole. The only time ive run into a problem is when I put on coconut oil the night before playing on the pole, if I want to super hydrate my skin with coconut oil, I need to put it on the night before the night before playing on the pole, so if I wanted to play on the pole wednesday, id have to put it on monday night. Any other lotions I havnt run into problems as long as I put them on the night before and not that morning.

Luckily the only problems my bf has with pole is that he thinks im gonna lose my boobs from all the upper body work, and he doesnt like me posting videos online. Hes just not into that whole ‘post your whole life online’ fad with facebook and all. I compromised with only posting vids when I perform, and when I get a new move, and the monthly challenges. He also comes and looks at my clips of new moves https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif he doesnt watch the vids though https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif
How to not piss off your wow raiding boyfriend/husband:
If you arent interested in playing the game, take the time to sit with him and watch him raid. Learn the difference between ‘trash’ and ‘bosses’ you can talk to him all you want during trash kills, because its just mindless button clicking. A good way to start is saying ‘can i talk’ during periods of silence over vent or when the mobs on the screen look particularly easy. its better than trying to talk and him going ‘IM TRYING TO CONCENTRATE’ if he happens to be at a boss at the moment. Thats what I do anyway, but I already played eq1 and 2 and a little wow so it was easy for me to distinguish, although sometimes I ask if I can talk anyway cuz people on vent are talking and im not sure if he cares to pay attention. like when a fight is being explained and he already knows how to do it, or when people are just joking around ect ect. yea. bit of an effort if you dont know anything about mmorpgs but at least they cant complain you arent trying to spend more time with them lol. -
I bet we all did Mallakhamb in past lives lol

Ok I got mine today, heres my review. my hand grip problem is usually sweat, its not alot, but enough to make a performance really tough and my confidence down if I havnt just wiped the pole, I try to do my big tricks first.
The customer service is amazingly awesome! Love love love! When I opened it, I smelled it and it smells like tree sap, this doesnt bother me, so it depends on what your stance on tree sap is if thats a good or bad thing haha. I have read that it seems like everyone uses too much, so I rubbed it just enough so that it melted and I could get a tiny bit out, it was literally like, the size of…the tip of a pen i guess. I tried the number 2 first, I rubbed it on really well and then waited 1 minute, I grabbed the pole and it seemed like what was on my hand came off on the pole. it was eh grippy, I think my own grip is stronger than the 2. for spins it was kinda slippery. I personally wouldnt trust it enough to use in a performance, but that could also be biased since its also my first grip product ive tried and anything other than just my own grip I wouldnt trust at first. So I washed it off my hands and pole and put the 4 on my hands. tiny amount, rubbed it in really well, waited like 2 minutes. This time it seemed to be really grippy. at first. I did a couple pole ups and was like yay. so Itried a spin on static, not possible to do smooth spins with 4, at least for me. I was like hydrolicking down the pole and there were terrible noises lol. so i tried spin mode, I was able to hold on longer than ever before. i tried inverting on static mode, didnt trust it enough to do a butterfly. i was actually slipping even with itac 4 grip, and it made that horrible noise. its like my sweat sweated through the coating of itac2 grip. so yea, that was my experience. I will probably keep trying it and use less or more and at different times of practices, just at the start when me/pole are cold. end when im really sweaty, see how it holds up. ill try it again next week, today was the 2nd day in a row of alot of poling and my body is like noo what are you dooing to me lol
-
whats circumference then? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_question.gif
-
It took me a spotter before I had to confidence to do an elbow stand onto the pole from the floor, I was afraid id miss the pole and flop over and hurt my back!
-
after practicing for awhile my pole is super hot where my hand grip is from spins, without a hairdryer. in the beginning of my practices the pole is too cold to climb yet, so I just spin and do transitions til I am warmed up, and usually the friction from my body warms my pole up too, so I can climb and do pole sits and inversions
-
Make sure you and the pole are both warmed up. Cold poles and cold bodies arent very grippy!

When I was 11 and started playing Everquest 1 I made my first wood elf druid, I didnt know what to name her, then I sounded out ‘Mel…..ea….ni…a’ tada! literally just made it up like that (Mel-lay-nee-uh). Im the only meleania ive come across to date, and if you find someone with that name on another site, chances are its me. my real name is Aubree though =D
-
I usually lay it on the floor, and then step on the rods with shoes on to get them apart.

38, 45, and 50mm is the size of circumference of the pole. 50mm is the most common, its easiest for grip on the legs, the smaller ones are easier to grip with the hands, but hurt the legs way more since the pole is smaller the pressure is more concentrated. The difference between a chrome and a titanium gold pole is grip ive heard, and color, ive never tried TG, but I use chrome and would recommend it. I have a chrome 50mm xpole.
