Ouch! One way to help prevent this is to focus on holding the body with a performance grip hold, this grip will allow you to hold the body, then place the legs. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/50fd8f5a-d024-4cbb-a4df-74830ac37250 If you are placing the legs first, and not ready to hold with the upper body too, the focus can be too much on the legs and you can end up with pole burn and skin tears. The performance grip isn’t the first climb I teach ONLY because I introduce a strength building climb first. Also keep in mind it can take time to work up to climbs! Building strength in the upper body first will help you have better control over the climb. Something else, if skin is too sticky or to slippery tears are common.

Life happens, glad to see you back at it! If you’re doing the 30 day program you won’t need to add any other exercises on remaining days because the days I don’t have you working out you should be resting. If you want to add more work do it on the training days. It’s all explained in the program 🙂

The screws should not stick out at all, try what the girls suggested! Making sure everything is lined up is important 😊
-
Have you called xpole? There are many extensions to choose from and they should be able to help you pick one that would allow the pole to fit! 😊

Runemist, if you haven’t tried the updated lesson for the thigh rest you should. You’ve miss out on a lot of new stuff the past 2 years!
Thank you guys! Keep it coming even if what you struggle with has already been mentioned!!

Probably over tightened. 😊

Yes, they can be great! I actually used my ballet slippers today on my periscope because my feet were sticking to the floor! I like Blosh brand.

Hi! Welcome to SV and back to pole!
I’ve got a 30 day take off program that’s a perfect way to get you back up and flying! Here’s a little more about it https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=e4KzMIIbZH0
In addition to that you’ll find all of the lessons here are place in order so all you have to do is start at the beginning of any section and you’ll see progress 💜

Hi! I have a lesson that will break this down for you. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/54a6d3d2-b47c-413b-a339-5a500a9aa0eb All you need to add is to cross the legs before inverting! 😊

Even if it’s been 2 months try taking a full week off, no stretching. If you’ve been trying to stretch without giving it rest it can take longer to heal, giving it a full week won’t hurt. Then start off slowly and making sure you’re super warm. I hope you start to feel better soon!!!

Do you have a video so I can see what you mean? 🙂 There are sooo many names now it’s almost impossible to keep up!

Hamstrings can take a long time to heal, keep dong what the DR. suggested. When you workout make sure you warm that area fully and add some foam rolling or tennis ball massage before working out too. One of the worst things you can do is overstretch again, so take it easy, don’t try and stretch to gain right now. I don’t know who long ago you overstretched but try giving the leg a full week without stretching, then slowly work back into it only stretching if super warm and after foam rolling, but do not stretch to GAIN until there is no pain.

I’ve heard others who’ve had a similar complaint, I could contact xpole, if it doesn’t stop after taking it apart and putting it back up. My stage’s don’t do that but I don’t use them often. 🙂

Hi Vanessa! Don’t stress about which finish you bought, there’s always a way to work about any grip issues! If you are not sweaty the TG should work well for you, I love mine, but I also like my brass because it’s a smaller diameter. If you find you do sweat, then come on back here and either do a search on what to use or just ask us.
I’m so happy you’re enjoying the site! Remember that all lessons in each section are placed in a progressive order so just start by watching the first one and you’ll know how to proceed from there! EASY! I also have a 30 day take off program, included in the lessons, and it will take you through 30 days, focusing on building, strength, flexibility and technique needed to advance! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4KzMIIbZH0
You’ll find way more than just pole also, I’d check out the Veena’s tips, and you’ll find other strength building exercise that don’t require any equipment in the Conditioning and Quick Lesson sections. 🙂
