I have to try and remember to do my splits under the tree!
-
Haha!! Several months on and I can say it barely happens to me now, there's some moves that make it happen and I'm aware and can stop it! lol
-
I have itac level 4 and hate it, yes it's GREAT to make you stick for the first few tricks but then suddenly it turns to slippery and it's actually dangerous, I can't tell when it will make me slick and I've almost fallen cos of it! I stick to shaving cream on my legs and liquid chalk on my hands
-
Lol!!! Omg trust it to happen when your showing them moves!!!
-
I got sparkly silver sequin booty bottoms off Ebay and a purple dressy crop top and pleaser heels, i’m ready! Lol
-
The studio called me up and asked if I wanted to upgrade to 2 hours solo with him so I did yay!! I hve a list of poses and have been practicing lots and removing the ones I don’t like, i’m a bit too organized lol! I’m so excited!!
-
Very true! I think I'll try to go solo 🙂
-
Thanks all! The only reason really is if I wanna show people in person, it’d be nice to just fall into them! Ya know how you see split photos of ppl in the splits in public and that sorta stuff? Hehe
-
Thankyou! I just feel disheartened that if I just try to drop into them now they would be SO Bad, almost like a lunge!! Hence why I can never show anyone the splits in real life! But if I am warmed up and do my prior stretches I can get from 6 inches (cold) to 4 inches, and then after half a dozen more split attempts I try to rest in them bit by bit and end up almost flat, so weird how muscles work!!!!!
I also find that if I splits stretch less often, I get further, is that weird? If I were to splits stretch every 2nd or 3rd day, it's too often for me, my legs are still sore, so the splits attempts are painful and no good. If I leave it 4 or 5 days or longer I can end up in a much more comfortable splits (way less discomfort) and a bit lower than if I do it more frequently. HOWEVER I feel lazy only splits stretching every 4th or 5th day cos everywhere on google says if you want the splits you have to be preprared to put in effort and stretch EVERY DAY! I am prepared, I am!!! But I'm too sore if I were to do it more often! Damn legs, lol.

Sisters from another continent lol love it!

Agree poleprincess! I can't remi at all cos it crushes my foot on the bottom and its SO painful 🙁
I find YOGINI most painful and I can barely do it cos of the sheer pain, I jump off the pole screaming!!!
Knee hold was SO painful but now that I can do it, it's not painful much now
Superman I never had issues with, I could superman 20 times in a row without much leg chaffing going on! maybe cos I get into it from a Shoulder mount there's less leg smooshing going on?
-
I'd love love a holly drop and a flag mount (is that what its called) tutorial where your in a bracket hold and kick up and catch your leg and your in brass monkey, ive done it once but can't do it again!
-
YAY something new to try I can't wait!!!! How pretty! it's sorta like a confused allegra LOL
-
Hello! I'm quite comfortable with the no hands cupid now! The key to it, for me, is a very warm pole and body, if I am slipping I put some Itac2 behind my hooked knee, and also more importantly, when you hook a nice tight knee pit grip with the top leg, and put your lower foot on the pole, PUUUUUSH those hips forward and engage your core, if I don't puuuuush those hips forward it's pretty much impossible! This sorta locks you on, and if I get it right I can stay like that for AGES!!! And just hang there, and feel secure. And yes I have my bottom foot on the pole 🙂 I can try and take a video if you like
-
Mighty grip works best for me on the hands and Itac2 on the legs 🙂 I don't often need hand help but sometimes at night my brass is slippy for some reason so a bit of mighty grip on the hands and it's good to go!
-
I get sweaty palms a lot so brass suits me GREAT. I slip right off the xpole brass (spray on finish) or chrome, it's just not fun at all. My proper brass new pole is amazing, I never have to wipe my hands or worry about them. Sometimes my legs are a bit slick on the pole, but a bit of Itac4 behind the knees and on the calves helps with that 🙂
-
Scary move ** not scarves, wtf phone spell check lol
-
I’m still too scared to reach my hands beyond my head to grab the pole and arch 🙁 it’s a really scarves for me, especially when I try to get back up. Can’t wait til I make it pretty!
-
I’m wondering the same thing! I’m scared ill snap my arm off as I go over it lol
-
Nope, I got into it from a side climb! Side climb up, bring outside leg up and cross above leg already hooked on pole and let go and lay back. Will have to try her way next time
-
That's my attempt at it! Although I seem to have my foot hooked on the opposite side to Legend? Wonder if it makes a difference which side its hooked on. ps – this is the scariest move I've tried YET!! It feels like I won't bend back up in time to get my hands back on the pole, always gives me a heart attack LOL, so use a spotter! (I did, I got hubby to move out of the photo ha ha)
-
Handsprings and cartwheels are my favorite moves, I've done hundreds! BUT the thought of flipping over like this…. I can't even bear to try it! Is it as scary as it looks?
-
In your opinion Xpoles suck, yes your opinion. But obviously a lot of other people swear by them being a great pole brand, including Veena. Why get so defensive and to be honest I don't see them pushing Xpole on this site the way your making it out to be? A product pusher? Hmm okay…
-
I have ugly stretch marks on the backs of my knees and calves, I have lost 6kg this year and I think maybe hanging off the pole from the backs of my knees a lot maybe stretched them more? Anyway I spray tanned for a night out the other week, put on my dress, admired my newly toned skinny legs, turned around (it was natural daylight coming through the window) and OMG the stretch marks stood out like white lines on a brown road!!! I started crying and felt so helpless and upset, my legs are wrecked 🙁
-
OMG this thread is just what I needed!! I tend to have pole fart prone days, I can never tell when they will strike but they can be loud! I'm too scared to go to workshops or pole jam with other chicks incase I do one, what can I do? 🙁 I did a Jenyne butterfly workshop and did a small one which no one seemed to hear THANK GOD, but I don't watn to do social pole things cos there's a chance I'll shake up the room with my lady bits trumpet! LOL. IT sucks 🙁
