Yes, I would say just too much pressure. Over time you’re shine will become use to the position and as technique improves you’ll learn how to move around the pole with more grace, leading to less pain and bruising! 🙂 Hope it’s feeling better now!

Great point Runemist! I also love to make cakes and have played with the idea of being a hair stylist years ago….but after exploring it more, I realized they were fun hobbies for myself, but I would not love it if it was a job! Also, I love pole dance and my “job” here, but even if you have a deep love and enjoy what you do, there are times you wonder if you’re doing the right thing. I mention this because even if I doubt what I’m doing at the time, I know I’m on the right path because ultimately I just can’t stop thinking and creating when it come to my passion of pole both teaching and performing. I NEED to move and love to share and teach 🙂 Keep us posted on your choice and progress!

Is your over all goal money or enjoying life? Obviously we need a certain amount of money to live, but depending on what sacrifices you’re willing to make, like move somewhere less expensive, ditching cable, cooking at home and so on you can enjoy life with far less than most think! I found this out first hand while living in the RV last year, it was great to live simply!!!! Anyway, what I’m trying to say is if you really have a passion for something follow it, it may not be easy, it may not end up taking you down the path you planned but you will have peace and happiness doing what you love. Any style of dance is really tough to make tons of money with, so it needs to be done as passion. Sometimes passion ends up making someone tons of money, other times it means just being able to enjoy life. I feel life is short, enjoy every moment you have.

For me brass or PC.

I can use any finish in humid conditions, however if I sweat, brass has been best. I have every finish 🙂 I don’t sweat often but there are times I do and brass has been best!
I say any finish or diameter pole is workable so don’t stress too much about it 🙂 My favs are 40mm and Brass or Powder coated.
This was a reply from another similar question 😊

Awe poor doggy! Sometimes members do sell poles here so keep an eye out for that!
As far as learning on YT, there is some great info there and a lot of terrible information out there. I suggest taking a peek at my channel, you will get a better understanding of what is beginner appropriate. I have several free lesson there for you. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCup79MtZnWP_SCAHeVlmzdQ You can also find tips on my profile here too 🙂
Good luck with everything, keep us posted!

Sorry for the delayed reply, I was out of the world of internet access for the afternoon! 🙂
The link isn’t working for me either, however, it’s common for people to feel they can’t keep their elbows on the ground. One of my dear friends insisted her arms were too short, even had an instructor tell her they were, BUT, I was able to coach her into the correct form. So, when I hear that elbows are coming up that usually means you are not engaging the shoulders (scapula) correctly. Doing so will open up the space between the ears and shoulders (think more space between) this allows the elbows to stay on the ground and protects the body.
I wouldn’t work on the deadlift until you have the elbow position down, there’s nothing wrong with reaching one leg up at a time, that can be very pretty too.
Once you understand how to hold the then you can focus on reaching the back to the pole as Phoenix mentioned. In order to have an easier time lifting you need to get your hips over or past your head. I do have several lessons that will help you with this if you are interested. Good luck with your performance!

Oh no! That’s no way to treat anyone! As everyone has said, that is not normal behavior in our community, so lease don’t let this studio stop you from enjoying all that pole can offer! I’m happy you found Studioveena, there are a lot of wonderful supportive members here they can help and encourage you!
Keep in mind that inverts take time and STRENGTH and CONDITIONING is what matters not SIZE! Build your strength and you’ll be well on your way to a healthy pole journey! If you have questions please feel free to ask!

Elbow and Forearm Stand Flip-over https://instagram.com/p/4UK8TLJAas/
Here is the lesson 😊 https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/558a1dc2-21f0-4f05-8c56-46c60a9aa0eb

Yes, with PC or metal you have to have skin contact. I have wrapped my lyra before and just didn’t like the feel of clothes on grip tape, I think because I’m use to the strong contact I get with skin only. I find the small diameter of the lyra to be more painful on knee pits and elbow pits for sure!!!
I’ve had my lyra for just over a yr now but I’ve only used it maybe 10 times.

We’ve now hit 50 Quick lessons!!!!!!!!! Yay!
-
It’s so odd…maybe I deleted it on accident when I uploaded a quick lesson 🙁 I can’t wait to see you play!
-
Um, the vid is gone!!!!! 😳😳😳 Not sure what happened and I don’t have it on my phone anymore either, so weird ðŸ˜
I would like to play on it tomorrow so let’s hope that works out!!!!

Took some photos outside hopefully everyone can see how pretty it is!

You’re not alone in struggling with working the opposite side. If working on tricks right now is too challenging, try focusing on Conditioning and Strength work using both sides. Either do a bit of extra reps on the weak side or only as many reps as the weak side can do. Once things equal out try working on Pole sits and beginner work, as long as you’re working those you’ll stay fairly equal.

Absolutely! ✨The lessons here have tons of options for both on and off pole training and conditioning, including several 20-30 minute routines! All lessons are placed in a progessive order allowing you to build strength and a technical foundation! 💜

Oh dear! I don’t know anything about this syndrome but we have some amazing members so hopefully someone can at least point you in the right direction. There must be some other way of relieve other than surgery 🙁

Congrats!!!! My 3rd and 4th we not expected, the 4th was a big shock, but I couldn’t imagine life without him. There are many threads about this if you would like to see them you can use the Search function on the top left.

Oops hit enter too soon! Dry legs this combo works great, but may cause hands to slip if they really sweat. https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/52ab9aba-a310-41ab-83d6-636d0a9aa0eb

If your hands sweat and you want something cheap and natural try vinegar.
