I also have them. I love them when my wrists are sore, but not during pole! handstands, yoga, some floorwork.

Platinum- I reverse climb with forearm grip and it does end up in the armpit a bit.

Loved loved loved Absinthe!!

The department I’ve been working with has all female physicians, so I guess my view of it is probably skewed.

Lil’ red- I hope you don’t think that of all doctors. I don’t know a single sports med doc that is biased towards football/men. In fact, most sports med docs I know hate (some even discourage) football. Telling you to stop doing something usually factors in many issues, such as allowing time for healing and decreasing inflammation(obviously) and reason for doing your sport (pleasure vs. income). Most sports docs will try anything they can before saying “just stop doing it.”
Saphyre: The subluxing tendon is very different (and much more rare) from a tendinitis which is a more typical injury. Subluxing tendons generally require surgery to fix, which has its own downsideds. That being said, rest and PT probably wouldn’t hurt, and may help some, but it won’t STOP the tendon from subluxing. That’s what she meant by “there really is no good treatment”.
Sorry for the defensiveness. I’m training to be a sports med doc so I see the other side of the coin.

I was talking with a sports med doc- She said if it’s ventral then its a flexor tendon instead of the extensor. She said there’s not really a good treatment for it but would recommend some type of compression brace to improve stability.

Sparrow- Any updates on the Get Bent dvd?
-
Everyone’s different. I love a dirty pole (as long as it’s not dirty with lotion!).
-
Polefitmom- having trouble picturing this. Can you post a video?
-
Thanks, but not looking specifically, just if something catches my eye! I have a pole in perfectly fine condition. I just like buying new toys!
-
UVA- Look up subluxation of the extensor carpi ulnaris (ECU) tendon. Sounds like what you may be describing.
-
Sorry, I can’t afford 370+ shipping to the US for a pole that doesn’t spin. :/
-
So far, all I’ve seen is just practice… I’ve been doing it for years and mine still feels not entirely secure- sometimes I lose balance and have to drop into an inside leg hang. I would suggest to not do it over and over again cause it can be really rough on the ribs!
-
I’m interested in your action pole. Is the it removable? I haven’t seen how they set-up yet. How much are you looking for it? Would you ship to the US?
-
If you’re having so much trouble with landing on the base, you could put some cushioning on it.
-
What is your ceiling height?
-
I don’t know if I’m the only one, but I think they’re harder than handstands. I can do headstands and handstands quite comfortably, but I hate forearm stands so I’ve been working on them a lot lately. They require a shitton of strength!
-
I did not like Cleo’s dvd. That’s why I was looking for something different that focuses on flexibility.
-
I always ask now because I’ve been disappointed before!
-
Maybe they changed the fragrance since I last used it years ago!
-
Prince grip smells like fruit loops. I like that in a grip aid.
-
I’m a huge fan of the squat stand method Chemmie mentioned! I have had many students say that they weren’t able to figure it out any other way… Another point- I make sure they can go back and forth in a squat stand without letting the pole slide into their upper thighs.
-
I can’t stand wearing closed toed shoes without socks. Like Charley, I am an ungodly stink beast, no matter what…
-
Platinum Stages makes excellent poles but their customer service is atrocious. They are by far my favorite to use, but I hate the company so much I switched to LM for my home pole.
-
I like to clean new SS poles with pure acetone a couple times. Seems to work a little better than alcohol at first and should not damage stainless steel.
