    You probably have it too tight.

    Don't get involved.  I am sure she has people ine her life that are keeping an eye out.  Remember, you are a total stranger too.

    Define great.

     

    Your question is so broad that it is difficult to answer.  If you tell us what you consider "great" then maybe we can help.  Some want to be sexy, some want to be able to tell a story, some want to be tricksters, some want to have the flexibility of a contortionist.  Also it helps if we know a little about your background.  If you ahve no dance/gymnastics/martial arts/etc background it may take longer to get where you want to go.

    If you can afford a gym membership you can afford the lessons here.  They really are cheap.

     

    Or you can go and look over at Oxygen Magazine.  Not only do they have new workouts every month they will also teach you how to eat for the best gains.

    If I land a back hook I almost always do a chest down/ass up dive yo the ground and then reposition my legs.  I rarely land a front hook.  Instead I typically bring my unhooked leg around while I am spinning and end up in a double leg front hook.

    Just got finished with day 1 and I can tell you that the leg lifts killed me!  My hips are so not flexible and these reminded me how tight they really are.  I really should video the lifts and use that as my January submission!

    Your question is a really good one and there is no definitive answer.  I have been to studios that required you to be able to climb to get to the next level, I have been to studios that require an invert to be considered the next level.  There is no defined marker.  This also depends on if the studio is a "trick" studio or a "dance" studio.

    Also to note, you need TALL ceilings for an XSL unless you buy a shorter B pole.

    How in the world did you do that?

     

    There was a studio in LA that had a bunch up for sale recently.  You may want to see if they have any left: https://www.studioveena.com/forums/view/X_Stage_for_Sale_Los_Angeles_20121110101335

    Have you looked at the strength and conditioning lessons here on the site?  You can view them for 3 days for free using the code GET3FREE.

     

    This is not an easy answer because pole not only uses strength but also flexibility and endurance, along with plyometrics.

    It is still a good idea to be sure that you are covered.  This is the reason I will only spot friends.  If you are acting in behalf of the studio then you are still a liability.

    You do not seem like the type to me that is drinking lots of soda or eating crap food.  If you have soft teeth to begin I would reconsider, though.

     

    Fluoride helps make teeth stronger by binding to calcium and making calcium fluoride.  This is also why it is such a deadly acid…at higher concentrations it will rip calcium from your bones and create huge crystals of CaF2 which cannot pass through your system.  Worse yet, it is not like other acids where you feel it as soon as you get it on your skin.  It will not start to hurt until is is already in your system.  (Um, can you tell I work with this crap and wrote our safty policy for handling it?).  This is one of the reasons why there is so much controversy regarding it.  People tend to not understand that sometimes very small amounts of something deadly can actually be extremely beneficial.

    I am seriously contemplating starting the 30 day tonight.  I really NEED someone to push me.

     

    Is there a thread started for those that are doing the 30 day yet?
