1. Detoxing will bring out all sorts of nasty sides. I have not looked into this system but even going from "normal" eating to clean eating some people experience this. It is your body trying to purge toxins.
2. I would have to look at the ingredient list but there is a good possibility that the chemicals in it are making you have cravings.
3. I don’t put stock in any of this stuff. You could eat raw/clean for a week and do the same but much cheaper and HEALTHIER.

I was trying to adjust my grip to see how wrist burn would happen, and I couldn’t even get it intentionally https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif
If you hold your hand even up in the air like you would normally grip your pole…now twist your pinky toward your chest….that is how you would have to hold the pole. You can even feel the strain without trying to hold your weight.

You SHOULD NOT get wrist burn. That is an indication of twisting your wrist and is improper form (which will lead to issues). If you are not getting it you are gripping correctly! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

There is another one but I cannot even do it. It helps to have someone hold your ankles when you do it but if you do not have someone you can lock your ankles under something that will hold your weight (a low bar or something). In a kneeling position what you want to do is lower your body to the ground keeping your core straight and then lift yourself back up. When your hams are really strong you can get all the way to the floor and then back up. Typically your hands will be behind your head but when starting out you may want them to keep you from crashing into the floor.
This will give you an idea of the move:

There are 2 threads going here that have good info:
Official Splits Progress Thread
In the resistance stretching thread there are a few other links and reviews of other methods. I believe towards the last pages there is a link for Splits in 6 weeks.

Why couldn’t this be 2 weeks later when the Chi-town jam was going on??!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif

wow this thread just caught my eye. I’m so sorry to hear about the last of support from the husbands and boyfriends out there. Reminds me of my x boyfriend anything I was into was stupid and silly. I thank my lucky stars everyday that my man is my biggest fan, no matter what I’m doing.
I had a comment here but I will be a good girl. Yes, you are lucky as is he. -
At least you realized didn’t just take her at her word and start teaching her inverts (I know you wouldn’t anyway but know some that would have!!)

Momma, how old are you?
It may be worth investing in some quality fish oil or even msm/glucosamine and see if that helps at all.
-
And yes you can come!!!

Welcome!
If you are on Facebook, look up the Grande Dames of Pole. There are lots of us "older"(as in over 40) ladies taking up pole.

SWISS CURL
https://www.studioveena.comhttp:://www.oxygenmag.com/content/oxy113/training_2_swiss.jpg
Target Muscles: hamstrings
Synergist Muscles: gastrocnemius, erector spinaeSet Up: Lie supine on the ground with your knees bent and your heels on the top of an exercise ball. Lift your hips up as high as you can (A).
Action: Roll the ball away from you until your legs are straight but your knees are not locked. Hold for a second (B) and then roll the ball back towards you by bending your knees. Repeat.
If you do not go to the gym at all these are great.
And don’t worry about "bulking up into hulk mode". Women naturally do not have enough testosterone to get huge. The women you see that are like that have cycled steroids or have taken testosterone.
-
You will, I know it! It is tricky to get it smooth since your flippin the direction of your body completely. I actually do mine from a pike cause I hate doing it from a gemini so much lol.
Next time I see you you need to show me this. I have yet to figure it out and am not sure if it is due to technique or just my body type/flexibility issues.
-
Get to the doctor. NOW.
Lack of energy can have all sorts of causes and the last thing you want to do is throw supplements a something you don’t understand.

I was pretty active but am far from "ripped". Don’t get me wrong, it took almost a year for me to be able to hold the knee hold without screaming and jumping up and down. I still have issues with it when my knees are sweaty (nothing like a hard pole rolling over your knee cap…yowch!!).
What helped me a lot is getting that placement on the upper leg down. For me it is not crammed right into the knee pit but more of a hamstring/calf type of grip. Pushing the hips forward…..seriously forward….is the second trick. I straighten my body before I even let go with my hands and even before that bottom leg is totally "set".
-
I am also tall with most of me being legs (42" for floor to hip and I am just under 5’8") and did not have too many issues with both of these moves (besides pain). However I cannot go from outside leg hang into star easily but I think that is more due to having crappy center splits.
-
I had an instructor tell me to sand down my calluses because they could break open and put a hole in your palm for a little bit. Because the skin is so hard and you are constantly strecthing it.
Any ideas on this?
I have had mine peel the top few layers but never have I had one break open and leave a hole. -
I would have let the cops come. You had just as much right to be there as they did. I also would have said that I did not have the chest to work at "name of local strip club" but you obviously think that I have skills, so I will take that as a compliment!
Do not let people like that drag you to their level. By getting upset and leaving they "won". You were doing nothing wrong.
-
I don’t see anything wrong with is but I would not even consider using dried basil in this. That would be a sin!
-
The X-pert spins and the X-sport does not. As far as I know that is the only difference.

Englann…I think in my practice video and also the vid from when we were down in Columbus both show how I get into superman. I was having the same issues and found that if you go into side V first it makes it a lot easier to flip the hips. There was discussion about this a few months back:
Superman

You really need to get in touch with Jungle Cat or maybe even Josiah (Badazz on youtube), possibly even Joel (poledancefan), although I think he is more self taught than studio taught. I have been seeing a lot of hip-hop/break dancing mixed with pole lately and that might be a route you would want to take.

We are taking our motorhome and a few extra days. Looking like we will be in town some time on Thursday and leaving out on Monday. Tuesday is our anniversary so we are going to be playing that weekend. Plus one of my sisters lives about 30 minutes away so I should really visit her.
So we have an anniversary and a birthday…anything else to celebrate??

I tried the almond chocolate chip cookies too and talk about yum! I have not figured out how to make almond butter in my vitamix yet (I make natty PB just fine). I also found that the recipe for the ice cream cookie without the ice cream is pretty tasty. I think it is oatmeal and dark chocolate. I substituted oat flour for whatever type of flour it called for. They are pretty dangerous! Oh, the "yogurt cheese" (basically greek yogurt) and melted dark chocolate is heavenly, especially when spread on the above cookies!

I have a few that I will post up when I get home.
One of my biggest loves that I found with clean eating is panko bread crumbs. My husband will buy fish and then double dip using panko and egg beaters and then bake in the oven. You would swear that it was fried!
