Using static or spin won’t hinder progress as far as strength goes, the only real challenge if using only spin pole is learning timing needed for static spins.
Here are some things to check if you think you’re not making progress:
Have you written down, as in tracked your daily progress. This means writing out sets and reps and you can include notes on how you felt, tired, strong, sad, happy and so on. Taking photos and video also are extremely helpful. If you’re not tracking, then you really tend to forget how far you’ve come. Often people think they’ve done nothing but looking back tells the real story and it’s encouraging.
Don’t skip exercises unless you are physically unable, its painful in a way that is sharp, stabbing or sudden. Know that it’s normal to feel muscle burn and have them feel weak or shaky, that’s a good thing! It’s not expected that you’re able to do every exercise in the program fully or complete every set and rep. That’s why you track what you could do, then the next time aim for 1 or 2 more.
Try adding in some extra conditioning for the lower body if you feel the pelvic area is a problem. These would be helpful. The Hover https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/56c9381b-b644-49b2-9a88-0d5dac110003

I hope these tips help!!

HI! It’s very normal to feel weak when first learning, you’re holding up all of your body weight for most moves! What do you do when you practice? Do you have a plan when you train? I see you have the lessons, are you using the Take off program or just picking random moves? PS feeling awkward is normal too when learning anything new, most of us have been there before!!!

Yep!

Yeah, your oval hoop will work for now, but I’d go for some new hoops!

Hello!! Sometimes I forget to hit save and leave the page, then everything is gone….boooo. It happens! Welcome to the site, feel free to ask if you have any specific questions! As Runemist mentioned the 30 take off program is a great start. Also keep in mind that every lesson section has videos place in a plan and specific order so always start at the beginning for faster progress. 🙂

If you’re feeling pain especially if it’s chronic stop and let your body rest. I’d suggest taking a look at the Veena’s tips section, you’ll find a bunch of helpful videos for maintaining a healthy pole life! This one in particular would be helpful https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/52f7165d-3484-4ffa-afa9-13de0a9aa0eb If you haven’t used the code already you can view all of my lessons for free using this code GET3FREE! I hope you feel better soon, REST, check your technique, and don’t forget to stretch and have rest days.

Yeah some poles spin like nuts other barely move. You can tighten it a tiny bit more but DON’T go crazy, just an extra turn or two can help. However, a nice spinny pole is good! Use the tips Isis mentioned and these too https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4f7311e1-1410-4981-8097-7a4a0ac37250 I’m guessing you’ve seen it but thought I’d repost.

Depending on what it was made out of they can loose shape. I looked at the Hoopspin site and they have nice stuff! You might want to go to their beginner section and order one of those. They should work just fine for the lessons here! Buy one!

I love that photo and agree not to put just one apparatus, but that’s a great shot!!!

I’ll share this to my fb and Twitter for ya!

Omg, I’m so sorry you’re having to go through this! Pole is a very important part of many people’s lives and to not have that acknowledged is heartbreaking and I can see that making the healing process more challenging too! I have no knowledge of this syndrome but I just wanted to let you know we’re here for you!! 💜💜

I have 2 x stage poles, they’re heavy but sturdy! 💜
