You would think that, but I still wander into southshore like they’re going to welcome me with open arms on like, a daily basis https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

I really like the horde, I just rolled ally first because I was a fan of NEs in the old warcraft lore…and now I have two 80s there which makes it so much harder to level my horde toon (20-something undead lock). I mean….I know where to quest and how to make it snappy and zone out doing familiar quests on the ally…it can be surprisingly frustrating to learn all new zones https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

Ahh I’m on Bloodhoof! Ally 80 NE Fury war and 80 Dranei arcane mage!

I just minimized WoW to post this because I looked down at my desk at the thing I keep my guitar tools in and realized the allen wrench that adjusts my guitar’s truss rod is the same size allen wrench that adjusts my x-pole. So if you ever lose it again any musician friend with an electric should have one.
Unless it’s carbon fiber neck, not all those have a truss rod =p but it’s the same size I use on the bridge too, so there you go. I minimized WoW for that random thought. Have a nice night. Glad you found your wrench. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

WOW Roxy thank you for posting that response I just found this thread and my B pole has that issue. I bought it used and got a great deal and that sharp edge is the absolute only thing wrong with it…but I was going to buy a new B pole! You just saved me a pile of money thank you! *big hug!* https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumleft.gif

Do you have the quick release tools? If not, get them because you will be getting them anyway except you’ll be a lot more frustrated at the circumstances you’re buying them under if you wait. Trust me, they make life so much easier. If you don’t have them, I would try shocking it out of place. Stick the things through the holes, prop one against the floor so you’re in a position to push down on the opposite one to unscrew it….give it a go from that angle, if it still doesn’t come out, put a towel over the pole to protect it and whack it with something solid. Just a quick bang(that’s what she said)–it’s not the pressure that releases it, it’s hitting it really fast….(that’s what she said) https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

Hmm can you snap a picture of what you’re looking at? The base itself does have a piece that sticks up a few inches and at first I thought I was looking at an extension piece too.

WOW. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif What can you do to build strength for that? I know I’m too noob to actually do tg but just because of how it looks I tried it out to see if it’s as hard as it looks and…. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif
https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif What pole moves get you primed for tg? Or what work with free weights and weight bar?

oh hells yeah, I have my pole in my living room because I have no space anywhere else…whatevs. and yeah, I am not even wearing shoes!!! they would have a heart attack if I was there in my bikini and high heel shoes, I told them to delete me from their facebooks if they find pictures like this one so offensive, because I am not gonna stop posting them, heck, I am proud of some moves, so yeah, I want to show them off….they will never understand, most of my friends do understand and think it’s awesome, but these few…don’t get the door hit you on the ass …bye bye.

Rock on, girl!!! Tell them to stuff it where the sun don’t shine. You wonder if these are the dorks who were offended by the naked pictures in their high school bio books. Yeah, it’s a booty! It’s MY booty! It’s my HOT booty! Get over it! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

Maybe you could get some of your fellow pole dancing friends together and take some artsy black and whites of your muscles…pretty upper back and arm shots, toned legs next to pole, etc. and say something about the kind of bodies pole builds (hot ones…meow) https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif I don’t know where you’d find numerical statistics, but images of real women with real pole muscles speak for themselves…that is until someone comes up with a solid % of how much butt pole dancers kick. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rambo.gif

Oooh georgiapeach thanks for posting that. I’m a half size person, 7.5, thinking I should go up to 8? I don’t know how true to size they are but I’m looking at something closed-toe right now so I’m afraid to go down to a 7 as my pleasers are a 7 and they wedge my toes uncomfortably even though theyre open toe.

Happy birthday, Fleur! (Belated though it may be!) Hope you started off another year healthy, wealthy, and wise! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Yep, pretty much anything you can hook around your foot would work. An old pair of nylons even! Is it basically that you stretch to where you’re mostly comfortable, contract your muscles, and then release and relax them, and go a little further?
That is definitely the basic premise. the initial hold should be for approx 30 secs to relax your muscles, contract for 5, relax and push a little further, hold 20/30, secs, contract for 5, relax, hold another 20/30. Don’t hold it for longer than 3 minutes, and come out of gently as recommended above.
If you’re not doing it with someone who knows what they’re doing, I would recommend that you get a book or a DVD (I have one by Kit Laughlin, he’s probably the leading authority in Australia), because, as Veena said, it’s intense and it’s sometimes difficult to know what you should be contracting in order to get the best out of the stretch and to make sure you don’t injure yourself. Also, the positioning is sometimes weird. But it’s definitely one of the most effective ways to increase your range of motion if it’s done right. I hope it works for you!
Do you know anyplace off the top of your head I could get a book or dvd? This sounds like a particularly good way to work with specific problem areas that don’t respond as well to the current routine. Can you still stretch every day but just 2 days a week do this with specific places and then stretch everything else on the off days?

OK, this is not a reply about shoes, but the headline cracked me up!! See, at my studio, they refer to a woman’s vulva as her "pleaser". "Stretching my Pleasers" really made me do a double take!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

Hmmm so I can just get the shoes themselves hot and press something not hot into them? I figured I would have to heat something up and put the hot thing into it to stretch it. I’m worried I’ll mess up big time just hitting the shoes themselves with a blow dryer, like amcut said think I’ll melt the toe cover right off https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

(Won’t be trying them tonight though as already started on the wine and cooking a curry soon!)

I found those, the leg stretches are the same ones I do except I also sit in a straddle and loop it over each foot alternately, help hold myself down for about 2m on each side that way as well.
Also if you take the lightest one and just wrap both ends around your hands to get some tension, the first circle (tai chi) makes a great very beginning warmup for arms and shoulders and it’s especially great for bringing awareness to the fact that all the muscles of the body connect in the back and core. You can feel the first circle originating from the core better when you add the little bit of resistance.

I feel too awkward to pick one! I feel like I should, but I just don’t know.
for my first name.. i actually got it off World Of Warcraft! LOL! it was an NPCs name and i was like wow thats pretty awesum!! =D
WoW npcs have such awesome names. I could just walk around moonglade and have my pick of cool names LOL =)

And there you go proof perfect, because for me…the knees! Oh god the knees! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif Everyone is definitely different considering I have no idea how knee holds don’t hurt for some people! OW! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

OK now I’m jealous =D My teeny apt. doesn’t leave me many options for pole placement, I would LOOOOVE having a room just for working out. Take pics when you get it all together! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif

Here’s a website that sells what I’m talking about. I’m not sure about finding these in the UK, maybe ebay stores or amazon would have a UK seller? Also, these are latex as are mine, if you’re allergic you’d obviously need something else. These come in different resistances as labeled by color. I have blue (4.5lb) and green (3.1lb) because I only use them to stretch and add light resistance to yoga poses and tai chi.

Lol the more I learn the more it hurts. Guess it’s just a fact of life! The more advanced your poling, the more fancy your falls and bruises https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

Yeah, belt or exercise band works great! I use a lark’s head knot to loop it around my foot, I think that’s the most common name for it. I’m posting a picture here so you know what I’m talking about, where you loop it in half, stick your hand through and grab to make a loop. If you’re using a belt obviously just thread the end through the buckle and let it slip down to be tight around your foot. (Not too tight obviously don’t sue me if you turn your foot purple https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif )

Freethesun I’m so sorry that happened to you. That’s why I get so angry when I see trainers pushing young kids that hard, serious injuries are almost inevitable when you work a kid’s body like that. I see too many kids in my neighborhood getting into basketball and volleyball where the coaches are jerks and droves of little ones as small as 10 years old gimping around after surgery for torn ACLs in early summer. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumbdown.gif
Yoga blocks can be really awesome for supporting a stretch gently. I also like to do assisted stretches, it’s my favorite way to stretch. I lay flat on my back with an exercise band overhand looped over the end of my foot and pulling on it, font and side, until I feel the resistance. Then I use it to rotate out the hip flexors by supporting the leg as I rotate the foot outwards. I have problems with my lower back so I find this is much more stable for me, especially if I put a support under my back. Only when I do assisted stretches can I really hold the stretch as long as you have to be able to in order to really benefit from the daily stretching. I’ve even looped a belt around my foot in a pinch to get my stretching in. I just lost a lot of flexibility in the past year and I’m really trying to work on it. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_salut.gif
