The measurements you described are perfectly normal, I’m not sure why it would cause your pole to be wobbly. Maybe take a vid or pics and send to x pole customer support to see if they can help you trouble shoot the issue.

Dirty Girl Poletice is by far the best product I have tried for sweaty hands! Dry hands is ok, itac makes me slip worse! Tacky gloves definitely make you stick but no static spins. ☺
-
DGP is the best for sweaty hands. Glad you’ve been having such a great week. ☺
-
Can you do the pose by releasing the legs off the pole from a basic invert? If you can, work on reversing the motion, lowering slowly keeping the shoulders/core engaged. This should help with the lift.

Try Dirty Girl Poletice. It’s great for sweaty hands! Cramers firm grip is good for spin pole too but you can’t really do spins with it. ☺

@Vdub I’ve been considering Kino’s Cody app plans for awhile and I know Lucca is interested as well. Do you think they are worth the $$$? How have they helped you and your practice?
-
Kino McGregor has some programs on Cody app for an Ashtanga Practice. I haven’t bought it but heard good things. I hope to buy it because I love her teaching style. You can see a lot of her stuff on Youtube. ☺
-
You should try Veena’s 30 day take off. It’s a great way to come back to pole. 😊
-
What kasanya said. ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘
-
@kasanya the version you are talking about is much easier on spin mode over static. ☺ Try it!
-
It usually just looks like it’s not doing anything but I decided to just leave it for awhile and see what happened and it did work today! ☺

Saving for a quality pole is your best bet. Although you may find a used one cheaper, but sick to X-pole or Lil minx. As far as online learning resources, you’ve already found the best out there. The lessons here are more than worth it. I’ve been paying for them for a few years now and never regretted it. Great for all levels, from Day 1 to Year 10+!

I’ve heard of places that get the students to “sign” their name on the ceiling when they climb to the top for the first time!
-
Or use your hair dryer! Works great for me (another freezing Canadian).

I should ask my chiro what she thinks of shoulder mounting…Lol. I have never felt like I was doing permanent damage. I hope not, I love my shouldermount. It was one of those moves that I saw back when I first started pole and thought that there was no way I could ever do that!
-
Seeing as how I just started Ashtanga recently I can’t really say if it’s my favorite style but it has elements I enjoy. Flowing movement, syncing movement with breath. Time will tell. ☺

I just started an ashtanga yoga practice this year. It’s been a long time since I’ve done yoga for long sessions or on a regular basis so I have started slow and am building up one pose at a time. I figure it will take 6 months before I have the full primary series under my belt.
I am currently doing 5 sun salutation A’s, 3-5 sun salutation B’s, and the standing sequence. More or less depending on how I feel that day. I am loving it so far. My biggest problem in the past with having a home practice was not knowing what poses to do, how long to hold them, etc. I love ashtanga because it’s all laid out. I don’t have to think about what to do next. -
I have some video of poling in a dress that I don’t think I ever posted. I’ll try to find and post. ☺
-
I’m so glad you’re starting to get somewhere. Let us know how it goes when you get back at it in a couple days. ☺
-
I don’t know if this is an option for you but sometimes when I get stuck in a rut I just need a song change. This happened to me last month, I was trying to put together something for my level 1 students and it just wasn’t working for me. I spent weeks trying to make it work and I just couldn’t come up with anything i liked and it was just really stressful. I changed the song and completed 2/3 of it in 30 minutes!
-
I’m sorry this has happened to you. I’ve ordered from them in the past (not recently) and not had any trouble. I hope you can at least manage to get your money back.
-
If you come onto the pole with something versatile like a Gemini hook you could go anywhere; pull upright, gem/scorpion switches, shooting star, superman…endless options really.
-
Keep recording and watching yourself! As painful as it may feel sometimes, it will get better and you’ll really notice a difference when you look back on those first videos later on. 😊

It is unfortunately just the way it is greyeyes. You just learn to ignore that sort of thing. Keep in mind that although it does happen (I saw the same comment, gross dude) it is by far the minority of people that will go out of their way to say something like that. ☺
