The people I know who own studios will probably tell you they work 24/7!!
I know that does not help but in reality it is true.

Practice the pull up from the ground! Basically lie down with the pole at your waist, lift your hips and hook the outside leg. From there pull yourself into an upright position. This can be done also as a spin up from the ground.
See these two threads:

The TG pole is a titanium pole that has been anodized (electricity passed through it) to give it a gold color. I know this was an issue with some of the earlier poles but I have not heard of it much in the last 2 years. I wish they would just come out with a straight titanium pole, forget the coloring. The titanium is what gives it the grip, not the coloring. Veena has a TG and I do not believe that she has had any issues with hers.

There is a discussion on the forum regarding different tanning products. I did not realize that she carried a tan.

Death grip is gripping the pole so hard that it kills your spins. It is common until you get used to the fact that you will not fly off the pole. It also takes some time to figure out how much you do indeed have to grip the pole.
On spins I pretty much grip the pole with the flushy part of my thumb, pinky and ring finger.

And Steele is his stage name. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

No, that was Steele Starling. He is one of the Mynx boys. And I believe that is Steven's real name.

Although I have seen David do a jade split/switch in pants, but then again, he is a freak of nature. (this is said with love as David is an effing beautiful person in and out)

I beg to differ on the men getting down to their tighty whiteys. Any man who poles on a METAL pole does, any PERSON who performs on a neoprene pole (ie Chinese pole) does not.
Look up Josiah BadAzz, David Owen, Ricky Phoenix, Philip Deal, Steven Retchless, and any number of the guys on this site.
And then look up Rebecca Star on her new pole. It is a Chinese pole and she poles in a body suit. Her performances on a metal pole are skin bearing.
Do a little research before making accusations.

PS, X and Poledanzer all make reinforced poles. You have to specifically ask for this.

Most of the shipping companies have a tool on their website where you can enter your zipcode, the buyers zip code and the weight of the object and you can get shipping costs.

Oliviaaa, my response was not aimed at you.
We have yet another person trying to troll our site and stir up the masses. It was not until I read all of the other comments that this person wrote that I decided this was his/her intent.

So every single burlesque dancer is now a stripper because they go by a different name? Some of us perform at events as hired help. I sure as hell am not going to have an announcer give my real name nor have it posted on flyers that are passed out/posted/advertised. I am not doing it for any other reason than personal security. Ask some of the people who have performed and things that have happened. Hell, I get creepers on facebook that cannot even see anything about me but my profile picture (which, however is not pole related).
Please get a life and quit trolling our site.

What kind of pole are you using? I know that brass tears me up really bad STILL and I have been at this for many years. I want to say that different moves took longer than others. Pole sit was not really ever an issue for me but some times I will still get some bruising from inside leg hangs if I am doing a lot of them.
And just beacause I cannot figure this out….how in the world do you get bloody wrists from plank??

Amber Richard is 5'10" and is capable. I also have a friend who is close to 6' tall and she can do this too. This is not an easy move for ANYONE but yes being taller and thus having more weight is going to make it harder.
-
What kind of pole do you have?
I had mine in my garage for years and had no issues. I do know though that some of the earlier xpoles and ps poles had issues with rust. Have not seen that issue come up in quite some time though so it appears that they may have fixed the issue.
-
Have you considered boots?
-
Seeing as most platforms are an inch or two when you have a lower heel they just look like flats.
-
I think both Pleaser and Ellie make their shoes without the platform.

By working the negatives/reverse what I mean is get into a reverse handstand on the pole (there are lessons here). Once you are there bring your body around as if you mere just in the invert position and then slowly bring your legs off the pole and control yourself down to the ground.
Other things that may help: when you invert your arms should still be tucked to your sides; straighten them to get the tip back. If your arms are straight then your arms have no where to go to get your hips to the pole. I don't know if you go to the gym or have access to an incline bench, but reverse incline crunches are a gret way to condition the body to getting your hips over your head. Even yoga plows are a great way to condition.

If you are inverting properly you should be able to hit it every time. If you are not inverting properly then someone has taught you a bad habit and you are not at the point where you should be inverting at all. Hate to be blunt but this is the truth.
Now for me, I was also taught incorrectly. I started working the negatives and once I got that under control I never had an issue getting back up. Now I don't even think to invert and I have been like that since about 2 years in.

Every once in a while I post on her facebook page telling her that she is still brought up in conversation and missed greatly. Don't know if you all saw my post regarding her just a few weeks back. It had a video of her performing at Apple Jelly studio back at the beginning of the year.
