I could have sworn that XPole recently posted here about how to polish/sand your brushed pole to get a satin finish but I can't seem to find it. Not sure if it was for the SS or brass.

Are you not on the DIY heels group on FB?
-
Yep!

E6000 seems to be the glue of choice.

Luvlee just posted a video last night of her working on this after a workshop with Pantera. You may want to look at that.

Sorry, no, I meant interchange doing push ups with over exerting my pecs.

What are you asking me to link?
When I had this pain I also had pain to the touch in the D area of this photo:

For me it was that little triangle area between the top of the boob, bottom of the collar bone and leading into the arm pit. I would also get just a deep throb all the way down my arm and into my elbow when the knots under my shoulder blade got bad. For me it was more connective tissue and ligament pain than muscle pain.

I was going to ask you if it was right under the shoulder head and right smack dab in the middle. I have gotten this pain from over exterting my pecs (read, doing push ups).

I have been chemgoddess on numerous forums over the years. When I first signed up on YT I used my screen name that I used on other forums that I did not want associated with my chemgoddess screen name. I have my real name on FB but recently changed my last name due to being contacted one too many times on that account and not feeling comfortable with my real last name out there (plue I will be moving and changing jobs in the next year). Lastly I have a FB account for my performance name which I did not even have a performance name until last year. With the exception of my YT account (which I pretty much never post to any way) it is pretty easy to link the three names.

Zoey….you are at 2 months into your pole journey, you should not be working on handsprings, especially since it already looks as though your have injured your wrist. Can you even hold a split grip upright properly?

Two totally different concepts. You can still be a hermit and not love yourself.
I love myself but I think I would shrivel up and die if I did not have human or animal contact. I know for certain that I would be a very unhappy individual.

$100 for an aerial yoga set up that works for ceilings 8-10 feet tall:

Gravity/Veena's videos/many dvds out there/resistance band/resistance stretching books/videos. No piece of equipment is going to help you if you do not use it. We all want to believe that there is some magic pill/piece of equipment out there that is going to make us super flexy but all we need is time and effort. If you do not put in the time and effort nothing is going to work.

XPole has a video on how to unstick joints. Basically all you need to do is use a broom stick or long dowel rod. I would NOT suggest heating the pole with anything but air or a heating pad.
I have seen used X poles sell for anywhere from $150-200. It just depends on how quickly you want to get rid of it.

PVC bends too much and will not withstand the amount of pressure you would put on it in trying these moves.
-
I know at least 4 people who have cracked a rib when trying to get the Allegra. DO NOT push it.
-
1: is it bottom or top loading?
2: Does it have X joints or do they screw together?
-
There is also a very good chance that the person did not even know that their nip had slipped out. All I can picture in my mind is the whole Seinfeld episode where Elaine sent out Christmas cards and her nip was showing. I sent it to Nana. And Sister Mary Catherine.

My chiropractor is always asking me what new stuff I have gotten into.
-
Old style or new syle? THis is a big different when it comes to price.
And how do you mean "stuck"?

Where are you finding 3 foot foam at JoAnns? The widest I have ever seen was 24".

This may be attributed to your move and being in a new space. Where youa re now, does it feel comfortable to you or is your life still in a state of turmoil? Some of us need safe and comforting to dance, some of us need turmoil. You may be concentrating too much on getting back to pole/dance instead of feeling the moment. I know that it is really hard for me to just dance at the studio but I can at home or at the club. I know women who can only dance and be free at their studio. You need to find what it is that makes you feel different about the two places where you poled that is coming through in your movement now.

Head stands and any move that strengthens the core is essential for these moves. While I have the core strength and can bust out straight edges like there is no tomorrow I have issues with anything that requires my body to be bent, mainly because my upper body is much shorter than my lower and finding the right angles has proved problematic.

Lots of infor on the Felix Cane ones here:
https://www.studioveena.com/forums/view/4e0f6aef-c2a0-4ee1-9454-53ee0ac37250
I have not seen both sets so I do not have an opinion. I will however say that for the money and the instruction/feedback/ability to ask questions Veena's lessons are what I would recommend.
