Hey Jay!! Good to see you here!
-
PoleFit is Karol’s new studio.
-
If you are on Facebook you really need to add this group:
Grande Dames of Pole Fitness. There is even going to be a contest next year at the Midwest Competition for those 45 and up. There are quite a few of us in our 40’s and up on the site, too!
As a side note, Shelly Lamb who is also a member of Grande Dames just took second place at USPDF West Coast!!

I have been poling for 3 years almost and still do not handspring. If I were taking classes it might be one thing but I just do not trust my strength enough to even attempt it. I would love to be able to do it but I also know that when I do feel comfortable enough it will happen. Pantera helped me a lot with set up and progressions of the movement so it is now just going to take time and practice….2 things I don’t seem to have enough of!!!

The tail spin is similar however BOTH hands are above the pole.

You might want to invest in one of these:

My comments were not aimed directly at you. The whole thread seemed like this man never should have sued. From the old articles it looked like he tried working with Cheetah on the issues and they basically told him too bad. He ended up suing but then they eventually settled out of court knowing that he probably would have received a larger sum had it gone to trial. I am sure that the articles that are current follow the standard sensationalistic syle of writing that is so prevalent lately….. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif

I have managed to bruise my nether regions learning the wrist seat and the tail spin, and it was not actually doing those tricks but coming out of them and back up to the pole. It was no worse than the bruising I get from going on a long bike ride and certainly did not keep me from any other activities!

I don’t understand how having to have cosmetic surgery and having your vision f-ed up for the rest of your life is a frivolous lawsuit. This was a forceful blow that broke bone that I really cannot see happening during a lap dance.
The article that I quoted was written 1+ years ago.
The guy is also a roofer so basically he is unable to perform his job.
Again I ask, how is this frivolous?

I also have been having issues with videos. I thought it was just at work but it seems to be at home, also.

There have been several lawsuits over the years against strippers. I recall one a few years back regarding a shoe flying off (non-ankle) and injuring a customer. There was one when a gut was injured during a lap dance and also one here in Ohio where 2 strippers went after each other with their shoes.
This one is sketchy as a few stories that I have read have stated different "facts". One said she plain out kicked him purposely. Bottom line is that he has damaged vision for the rest of his life. This happened 2 years ago and ended up suing because the insurance company of the club refused to pay. He has undergone surgery to his face and eyes.
WEST PALM BEACH — A man has sued the Cheetah nightclub and a stripper, alleging he was badly injured when she struck him in the face with her leg or foot while he was seated at a bar.
Michael Ireland was at Cheetah on Sept. 28, 2008, when he was struck "suddenly and without warning" by Sakeena Shageer, according to the negligence suit filed last week by litigator Lake Lytal III against Shageer and Cheetah’s parent company, Casablanca East LLC.
Shageer, 28, – also known by her stage name "Suki" – is a registered exotic dancer in Palm Beach County, records show. In her 2004 application for a permit, she described herself as 5-foot-1 and 118 pounds.
Lytal believes Shageer spun around and struck Ireland in the face with her shoe. Even if it was an accident, he said, Ireland, a local businessman, was seriously injured in the incident at the suburban West Palm Beach nightclub.
Ireland suffered broken bones around his eye and in his nose and now has permanent double vision, Lytal said. Ireland has had one surgery and needs another.
Lytal said he was forced to sue after Cheetah’s insurance carrier refused to pay damages.
"We’re hopeful the club’s insurance company will still do the right thing," Lytal said.
Shageer did not return a call seeking comment. Joe Rodriguez, the registered agent of Casablanca East LLC, also did not return a call. Michael Ireland could not be reached for comment.
Strip club lawsuits that have made headlines have centered on the hazard of sky-high platform shoes strippers frequently wear.
Last year in New York, a man sued after a stripper giving him a lap dance swiveled and smacked him in the face with her shoe. A Broward man sued after a woman’s stiletto flew off during a pole dance, shattering a mirror and cutting him.
Lytal said he has yet to depose the dancer and has no idea what kind of shoes she was wearing. "But we will certainly be inquiring," he said.
According to a Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office report filed after the incident, Shageer acknowledged being atop the bar at the time, Lytal said. But he’s unsure whether she was dancing.
"Although I’m not sure what else she would be doing," Lytal said.

I would suggest going to a near by store and trying them on. It is just like any other shoe, some run large, some run small. I would suggest starting with something that has a larger heel as opposed to a spike. Personally I love my boots but there are others that are all about shoes.
Watch the material and the style as some are better for poling than others.

I should also add that you should not feel weird or embarrassed to take class with other women. I think if you stepped into a studio you would find it warm and inviting. Pole people are some of the best people in the world! It is a totally different mind set!

Part is due to age and part is due to getting used to it. I started pole dancing at 38 and I know for a fact that spinny stuff really started effecting me in my mid 30’s. Even swinging on a swing gets me sometimes now. I have made myself quite dizzy on more than one occasion while spinning but it does not bother me any more. Spin mode is something else but I am getting better with that even. Pantera showed us something in her workshop and even though it sounds silly it has worked for me. When you are feeling dizzy, flatten your hand and then place your index finger on the bridge of your nose between your eyes. When you do this your right eye cannot see to the left and your left cannot see to the right. Funky but it works.

It really has nothing to do at all with being able to do the splits.
Lay on the ground and pull whichever leg toward your head…if you go straight up you probably will not be able to pull it all the way. Now take that foot in your hand (right foot right hand, left foot left hand) and pull it it the side of your body aiming more for your shoulder or your elbow. THIS is the optical illusion that is the jade.

If I do not get the proper positioning for this hold then it hurts like the dickens because it is just my thigh that is holding me. If I get the positioning, as in using my side also, then I don’t have issues with this hold. I can nail the outside leg hang each and every time, it is the inside leg hang that I have issues with.

That is REALLY expensive for a ‘Lil Mynx. I got my powder coated off ebay and paid less than that even with shipping (brand new on ebay they are $189, ones that can spin are $245).
As for the weight, I would not be too terribly concerned. I know this was discussed quite some time ago on another forum and there were several women that were above or near the weight limit but still LM’s. The only time you will possibly run into issues is on spins where you are really getting a lot of momentum. You will just need to routinely check the position of the pole (which should be done anyway).
But again…that is REALLY EXPENSIVE for a used LM.

Tired muscles is not the same as lactic acid buildup. My first guess is that you are not eating properly for the amount of work you are doing.
Lactic acid is produced when you are looking for energy but do not have the proper amount of oxygen for that energy production.

Pretty much all that you said. Some even just have words of encouragement.

OK…my geek side is coming out again. I am not sure how XPole actually colors the titanium or the grade of the titanium that they use in their poles. I do know that high grades of titanium are quite pricey. Assuming that they anodize the titanium it is going to depend on how long they leave the electrical current on the titanium (which determines the thickness). Basically the color is an oxidized state of titanium, similar to the chalky stuff you get on aluminum siding but much more permanently bound. Heat, humidity and the acid in your skin will wear away at this oxidation, so each and every person will have a unique wear time. I personally do not know why they just do no make a plain titanium pole…it will look just like the stainless ones but have a grip similar to brass.

Mr Chem says that say that it is enough of an award to be able to watch all us gorgeous women do what we passionately love.
And I am pretty much sure he speaks for many of the supportive hubmem/boymen out there in that statement!!
