Here is another. Wish it was easier to watch because she does a really cool twisty thing down the pole near 1 minute in: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmVDKhri9-w

I wanted to watch the simulcast but was not about to pay $10 to do so. Yeah, I am cheap.

You do realize that there is no such thing as 100% brass, do you not?

Try saying this:
Polytetrafluoroethylene

Just a quick note, if you buy it after a big convention (say, LA Pole show this weekend, cough cough) many times XPole has used stages that are quite a discount. They do not advertise this but it is worth asking about. I want to say the discount is substantial but I do not know the exact percentage.

Work it from a plank on the ground first. Go into plank position then raise your legs to the pole, get your grip then reach around with one arm then lift the other. This way if you do slip you are only inches from the ground. Plus it is GREAT conditioning.

Benjamin Cameron Hunt of United Pole Artists probably has the most comprehensive list that I know of and can be found here:

I would not see why not.

BTW, if you have an electric razor or sewing machine, those oils are similar to 3 in 1.
-
A light machine oil like 3 in 1 should be fine for that. On the old style X Poles and the PS poles you want an antiseize as the poles will basically fuse together over time. This is just an adjuster. Stay away from anything like WD40 or PB Blaster as a lubricant, as that is not really what they are designed for.
-
That is exactly what I mean. There have been all sorts of threads here regarding flexibility, getting your splits, getting a back bend but the only ones who succeed are the ones who are diligent about doing it. And no apparatus is going to get you there faster if you do not use it.
As a side, many have seen gains using resistance stretching. I know that Ottersocks (I think ) was offering skype lessons at one point. And as Veena said, she has great lessons here (biggest bang for your buck).
-
BTW, both of these styles are usually available at costume shops.

These are not totally flat but: http://www.pleaserusa.com/showcase/ProductDetail.asp?PROD_CD=GOGO300%2FW&STYLE_CD=GOGO-300

They also make a similat style in 1.5: heel: http://www.pleaserusa.com/ProductDetail.asp?div=HOLIDAY&dpt=HALLOWEEN&ctg=&STYLE_CD=CHACHA-180&PROD_CD=CHACHA180%2FW

I am not exactly sure what you are greasing (is this the old style?)
What to look for is an antiseize lubricant if you are talking threads on the old style X Pole.

Basically I will pick a song first. I will narrow a selection down to maybe 5 or 6 songs and then I will listen to them over and over until one totally speaks to me. Then this becomes what I listen to over and over and over again. Some of my best choreo comes when I am doing other things like working or driving. I will see certain moves at certain points of the music. I study the song, changes in the music, timing, etc and break it into 1-2 minute pieces. I will freestyle and play with the tricks I want and have a notepad and/or video camera near by. Generally while I am working a piece the costume comes together.
This is just how I do this and what works for me.
-
The best flexibility training is just consistent stretching. If you do commit to stretching several days a week you will not see progress. It is not something that coems over night and even in some cases is not even seen in months.
-
Hi and welcome!!
I would strongly suggest that you spend a little more money and take Veena's lessons. She has a 30 day start up that will not only acquaint you with the pole, but will also strengthen and stabilize your shoulders. The thing with pole is that it uses EVERYTHING, especially muscles that are not worked during regular lifting.
It is typical to be sore, and I am one who gets DOMS, but 4 days seems like you were over worked.
-
The problem is not so much if you can invert or not, it is what are you going to do when you are up there? If you have not learned how to loosen your grip to slide down then there is a good possibility you will come crashing down. If you have not learned how to hold the pole with your legs again there is a good possibility that you will crash down onto your head. Learning in a studio where someone is spotting you is TOTALLY different than learning at home by yourself. However, if you are bound and determined, there are literally hundreds of threads here on the forum that will give you pointers.
-
I am not sure if your post got cut off?
The pain is proabbly due to overgripping, which is common for beginners. However I know a lot of smaller girls who prefer the 45 or even the 40 mm poles. I do not however think this will change your fingers getting sore.
-
I have seen them on Amazon for about $70.
And I do not think this will get deleted. Anyone who has been in chat knows the kinds of conversations that go on in there (and they are usually 10x worse than this thread)!

This can also be fun in a gang bang situation where the woman is blindfolded and has no idea who she gets passed to. (no, I have not done this…it is a fantasy of a friend, but I have to say it is intriguing)
-
At 4 years old it could just be that dad or dad's gf are stricter than you or make him do chores. We had issues with my husband's oldest when he was about that age, not to the point that you are describing but to the point of him screaming that he hated us at the top of his lungs on several occasions and throwing tantrums. When I was that age I was scared to death of my godfather, for no reason whatsoever.
You need to talk to your ex and work this out.

Did you click on JadeMeadow's link? Look at the positions!!
Quite honestly, the easiest/most comfortable position is the woman on her back, guy standing. Instead of him having to thrust he can push the swing back and forth. The better ones have a head rest.
And Lyme, your hammock can be used in much the same manner.https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cool.gif

On the sex swing it is thick nylon straps (think like bookbags) and then the wider portions are just padded fabric. There is NO give whatsoever with a sex swing. For the same price (as a sex swing) you can get yourself an Omni Gym which is much more comfy.
As a side note, I have used parts of my sex swing as ab straps and also as a hammock for stretching before I got my hammock set up. I think I paid $120 for mine probably 15 years ago but it looks like they are much cheaper now.
