Depending on the thickness of the brass I highly doubt that the external force of the XJoint is enough to press/distort the brass. The main force is through the tube.

Alex, please do not start on this forum or you will be reported.

It is just for added weight. You may have issues without it filled.
Funny…I just made a few hoops the other day!
-
BTW, I would contact XPole US. I have heard that customer service in other areas is not what it is like here.

I was under the understanding that the Xpoles are indeed a lined pole. This has been the issue of contention with one of their competitors stating that X's are not 100% pure brass.

I do not know where you are located, but I buy a 2 lb tub of whey isolate from Walmart for $22. It is made by Body Fortress and actually has a really good profile for being so inexpensive.

Invest in a decent protein shake and add a banana or peanut butter or even both to it. That will get you a few hundred calories plus added protein quickly.

Wow…holy spell check not on batman!

You may have a hard time. Luvlee is from that area, maybe you can message her and find some suggestions.

Aerial Amy recently posted about this on facebook. She was able to find another underwriter to provide the same insurance as Mark without the hoops that need to be jumped through.
I stand corrected, she just posted this on facebook:
"Insurance Update: If you recall, recently I posted about an agent who was offering a policy through FL Dean, the same underwriter that Mark Culp sells policies with. Immediately after I posted about it, Mark Culp leveraged his relationship with the underwriter to become the exclusive agent to sell that insurance product. That means that if you want to have "pole dance" on your actual COI and if you wear heels when you teach, then you have to deal with Mark. HOWEVER….If you state that you do not wear heels when you are teaching, there is another option: K&K Insurance will insure you and put "pole fitness" on the COI (you can contact them directly here: 1-800-506-4856 and I know they do studio insurance but don't have any other info). They do provide a discount if you have ACE/AFAA certifications.
I know that for a lot of us, being able to wear heels and bring out the sexy side is important; you will have to decide for yourself but I am glad to be working with K&K. I've seen a lot of nastiness floating around and I am really not interested in getting involved in all that negativity. I will continue to post about it because I think it's important that we all have a CHOICE and I believe that we should be able to have open discussions about the insurance options in our industry."

I have found that exercise helps with my DOMS. I think it all depends on how sore you are.

First off, WELCOME!!!
Second, I would suggest going through the 30 day plan that Veena has developed. You should be able to do quite a few things by the time he gets back in 6 months!

There is a thread on here on how to recognize a real xpole. The easiest is to look at the dome part; there should be a sticker with a serial number. If there is not one most likely it is not real.
Next, do both bearings spin freely when the pole is down? There is a bearing on the bottom of A pole and there is another bearing I believe in the dome. If either of those is seized it will not spin properly.
I cannot remember off the top of my head but those screws I think are to keep the threaded piece attached to the A Pole. If the previous owner loosened them they may also need to be properly lined up.
A Call to XPole support is probably in order.

First off, the pole is damaged if if the screws under the cover were not flush. Someone did not read the directions on how to install and tighten the pole correctly. Second, the screws to loosen to get it in to spin mode are not under the cover.
Are you sure that it an a real XPole? How much did she pay for it off ebay?
