I attacked this in 2 ways. First was to make sure that I had enough grip with my legs that I felt secure in letting go. This to me is really really important because I cannot tell you how many times this has been my safety when things go wrong. My second mode of attack was doing handstands against a wall. This way if my grip did fail me I knew that I could put my hands down and catch myself without crashing on my head. Since I have done a lot of this on my own I am always looking for ways "out" and feeling secure before I even attempt a move.
Another move I have seen people do is backing themselves up to the pole, bending over and placing hands on ground then bringing each foot up to the pole and then backing the hands up so that you do end up in a handstand facing the pole. I cannot access videos from work or I would find what I am talking about and post it for you to see.

Hey all you Ohio girls…check out this thread. Come and play in Columbus in 2 weeks!!
-
So Angel….are you still having the pole contest or was that Friday night?
-
I am excited!! YAY!!!!
-
I believe it is commonly called a sunwheel or attitude spin. Can’t help with the "how".
-
One more question. I can’t find any resin based grip aid at sportchek and the gentleman asked if I meant "pine tar". They haven’t heard of cramer’s firm grip.
BTW…pine tar is more of a tacky material to start out….it really is a tar. There are rags that are coated with it and they will stick to just about EVERYTHING they come in contact with. Rosin is more like a talc and becomes tacky with the heat of your hands. It is a lot cleaner and easier to remove than pine tar. -
Just an added note….bowlers use rosin bags and baseball players use powdered rosin and some sprays on their bats. You can usually find them really cheap in either the bowling section or in the baseball section of any sporting goods store. I have tried the bags and they are not bad but you WILL grip…almost to a fault.

I thought Radio Tokyo was playing Friday night? No matter.
YAY!!!
-
Saturday Night…it is ON!!!
The band that is playing is Controversy.
I will send my cell phone out by PM. This is also the weekend of the Arnold so Columbus is going to be crazy…not sure how much is going to filter out to Westerville.
I am also going to start a new thread for this.

I will add that if you cannot pull yourself upright on the pole from an invert do not attempt this move.
Going from outside leg hang I found it easier to go into side V first and then flip the hips (if this helps anyone).

Who has pictures????

Someone has a video somewhere of just doing the hold from the ground. Basically you have your back to the pole, grab with right or left arm (depending on how you are going to get up), back your legs as far back as you can while leaning as far forward as you can but still hanging on with one arm. At some point you need to trust yourself enough and just lift your feet off the ground. I strongly suggest not having the pole all the way to your hoo hoo and having large pillows or a crash mat down so you do not do a face dive. Oh yeah, thumb UP.
Does that make sense??

Not really sure how you can get into superman without inverting.
Boomlou (sp) has a video on youtube of all sorts of different ways to get into superman. I think that this might be it but I cannot access YT from work so I am not positive. If that is not it then that is definitely her channel.
-
Both of my legs hurt today….luckily I have not bruised. I think I am past the point of bruising but I will say that every time I cross my legs when I sit down it is a little painful.
-
OK…so we are definitely going to be in Columbus on the Arnold Weekend (March 5-7). Looking at maybe hitting Kickstand Pub either Friday or Saturday night….not confirmed yet. The place has live bands and has a pole right up front in front of the stage.

Once I know for sure if we are going I will post here. Any of the Columbus ladies….would love to meet you!
-
I think there was just recently a discussion on this. I believe that Veena traveled out to DC with her x-pole in December.
-
I also use dom arm extended, sub arm bent. For me on this I really needed to raise that bottom arm way higher than I would for butterfly. With my bottom arm closer I just could not get the balance (and I still cannot aysha with forearm grip…for this same reason).
-
Love and hugs to you.
Some times it is so hard to make that break, especially when the abuse is verbal and emotional. I urge anyone in this situation to just open up to someone who can help.

Pick up the Clean Eating cookbooks and magazine. There are so many really good low fat/good fat clean recipes in there. I feel so much better and look so much better when I try to stick to this way of eating.

The only one she has had any luck with has been Kelly(?). She has had SOOOOOO many problems in the last year that as soon as she calls they start attitude and are totally unwilling to help out. The stories are not good and have really put me off of ever owning a PS pole.
And as for warranty….all of her poles are over a year.

Check out the I want thread that is active right now. LOTS of good suggestions in there!
-
I really do not think you can over do teaching conditioning of the shoulders. My right shoulder is pretty messed up and once it starts to feel better I overdo something and it starts up again.
I would also suggest finding a really good massage therapist in the area who would consider exchanging discounts for advertising at the studio.

Too far of a drive for a Tuesday night.
There is info about her workshops and also a jam coming up in this section.

Hello from a neighboring state!
Don’t know where in Michigan you are located, but Alethea is going to be there teaching workshops next month.

Amcut, I have those exact Hanes undies that I love. Walmart usually has a 2 pack for really cheap and they have fun colors, not to mention tanks to match.
I also have some undies from Target (Gilligan O’Malley) that fit nicely. The only problem with the Target ones is that they run kind of small. I have larges and I wear an 8/10 in pants.
