    It is def grippier. Like everything, there are pros and cons! I think I would like a PC pole in the winter, when it’s hard to grip anyway. In the summer, though, they are TOO grippy for me….

    Ok…so, you can go all the way over in a handspring? I think I have seen this in a video, but having a hard time picturing HOW. Does anyone have a link? 🙂

    Luvlee–lol.

    I have tried it once. Hope to do it again today also. I think it’s very well done and easy to follow, I recommend it. 🙂

    I have hardly tried handspring mounts, but I got really close yesterday! You all get ready…I am so doing leprechaun legs for St. Patty’s Day. I can’t wait. 😉

    I have used strength wraps and love them. When I occasionally tweak my wrist they provide support. I generally don’t wear them though, but they’re great to have.

    just updating to say…I have improved this a TON. Need to be conscious of it or I will revert back, but being aware of it I can keep both legs straight. Hurray!!

    sublaxation was my thought too. Have you seen a chiropractor? They adjust all kinds of bones, not just the spine, and I would assume they could help…

    Yeah, I wear thin socks with my dressy boots and regular socks with my other boots. I can’t wear shoes w/o socks at all, just like I can’t stand ponytails for long–my ears get way too cold. We all have our quirks eh?

    OK, I think I know what you mean. I just didn’t know it was called Reverse Grab also on spin!

    I have trouble on bare lyras…seems very odd but it’s true and it’s because my palms sweat when I am doing something I’ve never done before…and lyra is scary to me anyway. I feel way more solid on the pole. I’m sure that fear and subsequent sweaty hands would lessen with time, but I’m not on lyra enough to know and be comfortable yet. However….I also don’t like a fully taped hoop because it’s SO, so grippy. One brilliant solution I have seen is to only tape key contact points, leaving most of the lyra bare.

    ^ that pic is creeping me out! 😛

    If I’m understanding this stretch correctly, I can do it and think it’s great training for a straight leg and toe point. I don’t have any hyperextension anywhere on my body. lol

    It’s not bad..if you go to a good one. I go and it helps me tremendously. I go less frequently now than I have in the past, partly because I am doing a lot of self care (massage and stretching/ strengthening) which helps keep me balanced.

    I just read your update (and the original post again) and I wouldn’t be comfortable with the dress code there, either. I always liked to pole in bikini bottoms at the studio if I felt like it, and am so glad there was never a ‘rule’ against it (in fact it never even crossed my mind). Love the sexy side!!

    are you triply sure your ceiling is exactly 8 feet? Or is it slightly less? I used the nonskip pad with mine for a very, very long time til someone said they didn’t use theirs and had no probs. I ditched it and it was fine…GL!!

    I don’t notice extra sensitivity or anything, but I DO notice weakness. Moves that I can usually do feel 1,000 times harder or impossible.
