    @Sarah, you can do video calls for free with Skype!  Admittedly, only between two people, not groups, but quite a few of us have been doing one-to-one pole jams with it 🙂

    Just one thought…  Perhaps people could put their Fitocracy name on SV somewhere, or their SV name on their Fitocracy profile?

    It's easy enough with some people, but with others I've only identified who's who from remembering stuff they wrote in blogs about what workouts they're doing!

    @RoseMay – Heehee, the mental image of you furtively looking around to check there's no-one near by then hopping up into an elbow stand on your desk at work is so funny 😀  I love your new word for daydreaming…  Next time someone asks me why I've got nothing done all day, I shall remember: brainstorming 😉

    The DVDs are just PAL encoded on one side and NTSC on the other.  I believe Aus is PAL, like pretty much everyone except North America, so you should be fine 🙂

    I don't think they actually have any region code at all.

    Yes, that's exactly what I thought!  "Pole dancing" has intensity so you can be honest about just how much effort you put in, why not stretching too?  I realise they may be of the opinion that whilst flexibility is nice and all, it doesn't match their idea of what "fitness" means, but still, active stretching works muscles hard.

    I'll also post on the feedback thing.

    @PDR – I'd never seen this thread before, and when you replied to it, I opened it without actually registering who had made the most recent reply.  I read pretty much the whole thing, and on the way, saw your original post.  From that point on, I was really looking out for your name again, hoping that you'd overcome your inability to be complimentary to yourself.

    Of course, I got to the end, and there you were again: the one who had actually returned to the thread!  I'm so pleased for you that you can say those good things about yourself.

    I was reading the whole thread wondering if I could do this myself.  Anything nice I ever think about myself is drowned in a barrage of "but this is wrong and that looks awful".

    I'm feeling hopeful now, because given your original reaction, for you to manage to come back and post things is a huge step, and perhaps it's a path I can follow too.  I don't want to be so hard on myself, so uncomfortable in my own skin.  It's nice to think I won't feel like this forever, so thank you for posting again.

    Aaaah…  No wonder I've been finding it so hard to do the elbowstand.  I've been attempting to do a forearm stand instead the whole time, which as various people have pointed out, isn't usually possible as a deadlift.

    I do hate having any pressure on my head though, even a tiny bit.  I guess I need to just get used to that, instead of bailing every time my head touches the ground.

    Thanks for the clarification all 🙂

    I was trying to do body waves during a shoulder slide, that was pretty intensive for the behind, quads, and pretty much everything else frankly, lol.  The coordination required was beyond me, they weren't very… wavy, but even just trying was quite a workout 🙂
