If you look their product has you taking 5 tablets a day. That is a LOT (and makes the bottle only last I think 20 days). Benefits are typically not seen for 4-6 weeks. I had tried taking a regimine but the dosing (3x a day) plus the size of the pills (horse) made me stop after a few days. I was trying it because I am getting older and I feel my workouts every….single….morning and moreso if I don't exercise for a few days.
I know a few people who have has substantial gains in mobility and less joint pain after changing their diet. Gluten seems to be a big contributor to tightness as well as smoking and not enough water intake.

Just so you know, the dome on XPoles is plastic too; the bottom and adjuster cover however are not.

(and in my best sarcastic voice) Welcome to PS multipiece poles! They have had this issue for 4 years now and still have not fixed it. I wish they would stop promoting that their poles are made in the USA because it makes it look like US manufacturing SUCKS.
-
To make it top vs bottom loading you do not put the dome at the bottom and the floor piece at the top; you just flip the pole section so that the screw piece that gets covered by the cover it on top.
Is this why it wobbles or is it because the pieces did not screw together?
There are videos online on how to change it from bottom loading to top loading. You NEED the larger piece (dome) on the top or the pole will be EXTREMELY unstable and unsafe.

So maybe this but in reverse and the bottom hand on the pole not off?

Ok….just remembered that shooting star both legs are facing the same direction.

Ugh…I cannot remember the name of this except the PJ name which was junkie (forward). Amy, I imagine it is similar to the split spin that you were showing us at Infinity but with the top leg hooked instead of straight.

A cheap good protein is one they carry at Walmart and Kroger (also online at bodybuilding.com). It is made by Body Fortress and runs about $22 for a 2lb container of isolate. Each scoop is 30g protein and it tastes pretty amazing for a cheap protein. The isolate is not the easiest to find but that is what you want, not their regular whey. The vanilla mixes with just about everything (my favorite is with orange juice). I have tried the chocolate and to me it is just okay. I would rather have the vanilla and add chocolate syrup or cocoa powder if I want a choclate flavor.

What specifically are you looking at? Just by looking their whey isolate is extremely over priced and you can buy l-glutamine (their post workout recovery pill) for $8 for the same amount at Swanson Vitamins (they are charging $30).

Aerial Amy I think had another blog regarding it or it may have been discussions here or on facebook. I think for her it helps that much of what she does is right in the city. For me the only time I got to work on "me stuff" was either at home or when I was able to get together and jam with other pole peeps. But then again, she also takes classes at other studios so she is both an instructor and student. It also helps if you are not the most advanced instructor at the studio so you can drop in to other classes and learn.

There is a move called the shooting star/hero that I would consider a starting point for this.

If you have the lessons Veena I believe has a lesson for it.

I have always known that as the floor sweeper or something like that. Shadow does an extreme version of it where she spins crazily in it. It is about 2:23 in this video. She is more sideways on her spin in this one but I have seen her totally upside down in it too.

He is totally incorrect about what bullet proof vests are made of. Bullet proof glass at the gas station, partially yes (but in thicknesses of an inch or more plus another layer of another type of "glass"). He is also totally foll of sh** when he says they are more expensive to make than the metal ones. It is a cheap plastic that is used in safety and sunglasses and the optical plastic lenses that you can get made into prescriptions; also dvds and cds are made of polycarbonate. It is also what contains BPA which is why its use in food applications has been stunted.

XPoles are $350 plus shipping…..that is your own XPole shipped to Australia and then shipped back. OUCH.
If any of you have the silicone covers for your phone or ipod, that is essentially what this is.
