Welcome!

Welcome Welcome!!!

I want to see a vid to see what kind of problems you’re having with the shoes. I never realized wearing shoes made it harder.
I have had issues with my boots, not on inversions, but on landings and balance(handstands and such) since my feet are heavier.

For bodybuilding the typical minimum time is 48 hours, lots of protein and ample sleep.

I have found a lot of times that working out again takes the residual soreness away.

At one point in time Pole Junkies in Calgary had crash mats. I no longer see them on their website but it might be worth a call.

Hi and welcome!!!

[chemgoddess1]

I will be at the club some time between 9 and 10. Not jamming earlier in the day just because we are doing some Arnold stuff and possibly North Market or German Village.

YAY…VV (wow that kind of looks like a big w), glad you are coming!!!!!!

I have the foam mats and while they provide a little cush I have hurt myself on them. I just got over a jammed toe.

The sweat trap factor sounds like it’ll be super fun, LOL. I am a sweater.

That is one of the main reasons that i only wear ankle high boots. The one pair of knee hi ones I own get uncomfortable but at least the sides lce up so there is some circulation. I also own a pair of leather thigh hi’s that I have had for YEARS that have been worn only about 5 times.

[chemgoddess1]

Sounds like we have a winner!

[chemgoddess1]

I can’t WAIT to dance in them!
Just don’t get stuck on the pole!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif

The cheapest one I have seen was $150 but it was only a 2" mat. The $199 one that is 4" is a good deal. Or you can try searching craigslist for gym mats. I have the foam floor mats as my first layer and then these huge pillows that I got at Big Lots that I use when trying new stuff.

My husbands b-day is the 13th.

Is there such a thing as a birthday cake shot?

I guess there is!! Does not sound like it would taste like chocolate cake but the reviews say that it does.

Chocolate Birthday Cake Shot…

1/2 shot Absolut® Citron vodka
1/2 shot Frangelico® hazelnut liqueur
1 lemon wedge

Mix equal parts Absolut Citron and Frangelico into a shot glass. Drink the shot, and follow it immediately by sucking on a sugar-coated lemon wedge.

YAY!!!!!!!!!!! Now I won’t be the only old fart there this weekend!!

Well, we will have to celebrate your b-day in perfect pole style!

[chemgoddess1]

Welcome!!

The best directory I have found so far is wikipole.org. It lists pretty much all the multiple names for moves.

[chemgoddess1]

Can you do a star (Jamilla calls it something else but it slips my mind)

It was not until I could get this no handed that I could get even the beginnings of a knee hold. For me the pole cannot be right it the pit of the knee…it has to be a little away and held more by the calf and hammie.

[chemgoddess1]

My first pole crushes were Karol, Veena, Symone, JK and Tarakarina. I remember seeing Felix’s 2006 video and thinking wow….just wow. A few years back there are not too many that posted on youtube but these are the ones I remember. I also remember the first time I saw someone do a caterpillar climb…it was CRAZY at the time (and now quite common). I also remember a video put out be Girlfriend Fun and Fitness that blew me away.

Now there are just soooooo many that inspire me. My only wish would be for Sarah/Joy to start posting videos again. I think she inspired so many polers and really changed the face of poling when it came to tricks.

I have really enjoyed watching the progression of the "big names".

[chemgoddess1]

Sissy…I am so happy for you. EVERY woman deserves a man who loves and supports her.

[chemgoddess1]

Here is Felix’s.

I do not have Karol’s, but I do know in one of her latest videos she was in a backbend and her shoes started slipping from under her. She totally covered it. In Alethea’s performance at LA pole show she was twirling in an office chair and got herself totally dizzy. Most non-pole people would never notice these but for those of us who are "stalkers" we see when our favorites are not their norm.

[chemgoddess1]

Did you ever see Felix’s video where she slipped out of spatchcock and fell to the floor? It was her California Pole Dance performance (it is all over youtube). I honestly don’t know how she recovered from that! I have seen pretty much everyone slip during a performance….it is how well they cover it.

[chemgoddess1]

I have been meaning to go through my closet and this is the perfect opportunity for me to do it. You and I look to be of similar size. I would be more than happy to send the clothes to someone I know who really needs them. Wish I would have known about a month ago as I just got rid of stuff I had in bags since last summer. Please PM me through this site.

Hey.. they are finally getting around to voting on the photo submissions. I would love it if those of you on FB would vote for me. I am on the bottom of page 5 of the photos. It starts with me in all of my chemist gear doing a flag at work and ends on the top of page 6 with me hanging upside down on a vine while hiking this summer.
