I have used brewed with a few granuals of instant thrown in.
Oooohh. One I got out of clean eating that sounds blech but is pretty tasty is vanilla protein, natty PB, coffee, banana, water/milk and ice.
I have blended just protein powder, coffee and ice before, too.

2 other things that will help….shoulder mounting from sitting on the floor (do not use the floor to push off with your butt) and going into a SM stalll and then into a SM. SM stall is basically just getting your feet off the floor in SM grip and holding it there; once you are stalled try getting into SM.

I have the XPert, which has the option of spin and static, 50mm chrome.
The Sport is static only.
Did the Showgirl replace the Kendra pole? The Kendra was 45mm, static only.

Where are you planning on setting this up and what kinds of things are you going to do on it?
I am a little hesitant with the LM as the top piece really is not that big when you use it as a portable pole. You will also need to know the ceiling height off the bat to install properly.
I am not sure about the PS extreme and what kinds of lengths you can get to make it adaptable for various ceiling heights.
XPole is probably the most versatile as there are a ton of different extensions you can buy to fit various ceiling heights.
All of them are not difficult to set up…the first time will take the longest. I would say 15 minutes max on all of them. If PS still has the sections that screw together you need to make sure you purchase and use antiseize so that you will be able to get the pieces apart each and every time.

Sorry, I just read your last statement about henna. What do you mean by coats the hair too much? Henna does not coat but rather stains the keratin in your hair. It really is no more messy than normal hair color if you do it right. My hair is down to my bra strap and yes it takes a good part of the afternoon to dye it but as I said, it last longer than any color I have used and my hair is no longer brittle and unhealthy.

I have been using henna on my hair for the last several years. My hair has never been healthier and the color STAYS (basically you cannot get it out). I know if you mix indigo in the with henna it will give you a dark brown color. They have a book of how to's and also a lot of pictures with mixes. It is not a quick process but I assure you the end result is gorgeous. I highly recommend the company that runs this site. They are local to me and she has the best quality henna you can buy.

OJ and vanilla protein powder….tastes like an orange julius!
My other favorite lately has been one that I got on the Anabolic Gourmet site which is his oatmeal cookie protein shake. I use a smidge of molasses instead of brown sugar and omit the nuts.

If I am feeling really bad I will make a strawberry cheesecake protein shake using strawberries, graham crackers, vanilla protein, milk/water and neufchatel cheese. I don't know the amounts.

Working on those puppies for almost a year trust me, I learned a LOT about them! Those 3 screws I have had issues with loosening so when you check your pole check those too. I will say though we were tearing ours down and putting them up 3-4 times a week.
Ahhhhh….is that the rattling you kept hearing, the screw from the cap? That makes sense!
-
The three screws on the cone itself will indeed lift your pole out of the cone. This is how you can change from using the XSL or the original. All you need to do is place it back in the hole and then tighten them back down.
-
You are having issues with that pole today, aren't you?
-
The only time I have ever had a joint get stuck in the pole was when the joint spun.
Do you have it off spinny? This is the only time that I have had the pole get stuck in the base. It must be off spinny as those screws being out will not let you take the pole out of the base.
-
Two things, first try to get your butt away from the pole as much as you can….this will give you more momentum. Second, practice a front facing pole hold, lift your knees and then slowly lower yourself to the ground (put a pillow down first so you do not crash). This will help you control the amount of hold you have with your hands.

Don't be afraid of taking it totally apart…there is nothing you can screw up. The hardest part is getting the holes lined back up!
-
I have taken one totally apart and there is not much there, on top of it anything loose would fall out as it is open on both ends. There basically is the round expansion joint and then the 2 half moon shaped spreader pieces. When the joint is out I know that the spreader pieces will jiggle a little. You can also try tightening the screws that keep the spreader pieces attached to the expansion joint (they are the silver screws on either side of the screw that you tighten when you put it in place).
