This happened to my shoulder mount. I had it locked down, then *poof* it disappeared. Then it came back!!

I typically will only choreograph a few moves and freestyle the rest. Sometimes a song just cries out for ABC spin or trick at a certain spot! Otherwise, I’m wingin’ it. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Hey, Charley, is there still room? A friend and I want to come up but we are trying to figure out which of the sessions we want to take. Please tell me we aren’t too late!!!!!!!! I am dying to work with Karol!

Gel antiperspirant–just takes a bit, let it dry on hands, thighs, wherever. It’ll help keep you grippy and keep you from sweating (which, of course, makes one less grippy).

Pushups, planks, squats, lunges, "shoulder shrug/plank" pushups, crunches, calf raises…..there are a ton of things you can do!!
I will say, though, in all honesty you probably wouldn’t lose all that much fitness in two weeks, and if you did, you’d regain it very quickly. That’s my guess anyway. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

When you learn to use your body to control your momentum…at least that’s when it happened for me. I still can’t do inverted stuff on spinny or I will hurl, but holds and climbing stuff are easy-peasy, even when I forget and launch myself into them. Keep going, you’ll get the hang of it!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

Jenna have you tried them on? Are you happy with the fit?
You know I’m constantly on the prowl for good pole clothes to sell.Ooooh! Ooooh! Side tie scrunchy shorts please? Also, if you have a Victoria’s Secret Sports store anywhere nearby, check out their "tight fit" yoga shorts. They are the BEST I have found for poling yet. They’re the bomb diggity.

corn husker’s lotion. you can put it on immediately before poling. it soaks in fast, and has no oil or oil-like ingredients in it. glycerin based.

Yep. What she said. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

Personally, I think the SM invert is "prettier" than a traditional invert, too, and it’s such an impressive display of strength/coordination/control!!
If ya got it, use it! Flaunt it! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

That is brilliant. Beautifully expressed and written, and just plain brilliant.
Thank you for posting this!!!

solya, I did mine as amyxshi describes–leaned out so my body was in line with my arm going down to the pole, elbow grip locked at about hip level (which equates with knee level because you’re pushed up/out to go into the hold). It really did feel stable, though my core was burning to hold it for very long.

Oooh I’ll have to ask her to send me the info or put a post in pole jams. I just started deleting my facebook today. Their terms of use have finally gotten too intrusive for me.
And vdance, what about if you’re stuck with carpet? My landlord put this god awful patterned Berber all over the house and it eats my feet for breakfast. I was thinking about a leather soled slipper because I literlally can’t pirouette on it. *can’t* >_<
Not vdance, but I’m able to pirouette in my foot undeez on carpet, no prob. I heart my foot undeez!

It has to be all about leverage and using enough to hold yourself on the pole, because I have seen folks do it in slippery clothes like hoodies and t-shirts, too. Clothes that allow no skin contact whatsoever with the pole. Mind you, I don’t do it that way, at least not yet, but I’ve certainly seen others!!

I do the caterpillar with a forearm grip, but when I went into aysha, for whatever reason, I naturally used the elbow grip. As an aside, my elbow and elbow skin now look like I went after something in a trash compactor, lol.
