Well hopefully I can help you understand the Shuffle a bit more!

Suicide back hook went up yesterday https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/555b9449-14c4-4b80-ae65-281c0a9aa0eb and I’ve got the Shuffle recorded, and I will post sometime later this week. I must confess I had never tried the DP Shuffle before and you will need to have VERY strong inverts on both sides to pull off more than one pass on this combo.

It’s a program much like the 30 day take off. It will give you a look into how to structure your stretching and flexibility training, it will also teach you what kinds of strength work to include to improve flexibility. You have one main video giving the Tasks and Tips for the day, then you follow the related videos as listed below to complete the day. I can range anywhere from 20 mins to 1 hr depending on how long you hold stretches and sets you complete!

Make sure she really understands progression and doesn’t push you to work on something because it’s trendy! She should be able to give you variations for things if you need more or less of a challenge with a move. Also she should insist you warm up, and don’t forget to stretch the forearms after every session! Have a fun time 😊😊

I’ve not tried xpoles new SS put the first ones were not good at all, it was a brushed finish and nothing like any SS I ever used, impossible to grip. I’d think they have changed it by now though. I don’t like SS at all, however the SS that PS has is very good and I have had very nice grippy days with it!

Depending on how active you really are often you probably don’t need something as expensive at a supplement! Unless you’re an athlete that works out for hours and hours a day you can get the protien you need from food. 😊 This site has a bunch of ideas! http://greatist.com/health/high-protein-snacks-portable
So If you can, buy some protein powder to have around just incase you need a quick shake or somthing but try and get most of it from your food. With a little planning you can make many of the post workout snacks ahead of time.

Ok I recorded both of the moves requested, do you still want me to break them down for you guys? I also have 2 other variations for the suicide back hook spin!

30 day take off! This program includes everything! That means some flexibility work too, but the focus is on getting the body prepared for pole and learning in a way that is progressive, building the foundation for all things pole 💜

Welcome!!!!! You’ve come to the right place if you’re looking to learn at home! ðŸ¡

Cool. 😎 Anything you guys want me to consider I need a video or photo of. I train alone and tend to focus on coming up with my own things, so I don’t know the names of everything out there lol 😀😀

I’d say the tank runs pretty true, they are very soft and stretchy.

I dance, then dance some more! Usually 3-6 full length songs! 🎶🎶🎶

Last year, I had on of my xstage poles powder coated in our SV coating by lil mynx!! I love it! I don’t think the stage or pole would be stable enough to use the lyra with both pole pieces, but I don’t know, that’s just my thought.
-
I use to yes! It was a matter of strength, conditioning and being super aware of my posture while working out and just in daily life too! I had low back and hip pain pretty much as long as I can remember. I don’t have pain anymore!!!! I use my pole to practice holding my pelvis and spine properly. Before dancing take a few minutes to try these exercises. 💜

Great explanation Tropical! 💜 I do have something to add. There are different ways to “Jade” I call it Split Hip Hold, my variation and what some (not all) pros see a “proper” jade is not as twisted, and should be done without the hand on the butt. The hand on butt is a bit of a cheat (and that’s ok!!!!!ðŸ‘ðŸ»ðŸ‘ðŸ») I’m only explaining this so everyone can see there’s a difference in jades. Regardless of which one you do the split or the Twisty you don’t need an oversplit.
The focus of my lesson is about getting the proper contacts so that you don’t have to use the hand to push your butt. The goal of my lesson is to ultimately be able to hold this with NO hand on butt. This means you will need more flexibility but until that point a half jade works beautifully!!! 😊😊

AdministratorMay 15, 2015 at 9:34 am in reply to: How to train for a seated straddle press with no strength?OMG even the “beginner” variation is NOT easy and there’s no reason to feel you should be able to just up and lift yourself off the floor! I would suggest training with yoga blocks under the hands first. You have to also have a lot of upper body strength!!! If you have had abdominal separation you’ll want to address that first before doing any kind of heavy ab work. Avoid moves like forward plank (facing the floor), crunches and anything that focuses on the rectus abdominis (6 pack) area. Work on exercises that focus on the Transverse abs and obliques!

Buy some tennis balls! They work great for grip strengthening and also for releasing muscle tension! I’ve never used any gadgets for hand strength but I know there are some, I can’t think of the names right now. ðŸ˜
