Thank you everyone, it’s been amazing getting to know guys!

There should not be tons of pressure on the bottom arm! If there is your not engaging the muscles correctly, the top arm is doing the majority of the work. This is why using the partial split grip can help, because you can also strongly engage the bicep to help you out!

If you have the lessons you’ll find SG alternatives for some spins I try to show you a few options 😊 For pole moves try using the partial split grip, this uses the bicep more. https://www.studioveena.com/galleries/view/4f875a2b-3224-4049-908f-3f900ac37250

What they all said. Also try to remember to always stretch your forearms and hands after poling and work on strengthening them 3 times a week too. If you have the lessons you’ll find both stretches and conditioning work for the hands and forearms.

Callouses* damn auto correct lol
-
Have you tried not using grip aids? I find when I use them I get serious calluses but it’s not nearly as bad without grip aid. Also when I use my brass pole I get bad calluses but not on my powder coated pole, so it could be the finish of the pole too?

Are you working on anything from the ground like leg hangs and reverse handstands? Also try working on Ballerinas and their variations, just keep in mind these require shoulder, hip flexor flexibility and spinal mobility. I’m not sure if you have the lessons but there are a bunch of combos/mini routines to work on…. I believe 30 of them and none of them require an invert!

Wow, great to see you!

Where is this!? It looks so cool!

I LOVE this, I’ve always longed to see Ballroom/Latin combined with pole!! I would love to do it, but do NOT know much ballroom at all. lol Her musicality is wonderful!

You may find this video interesting too. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0Lv6af4pKQ8

Yes we love your work, it would be great to see the work you share on FB here too! 💜
-
Hmmm, it’s something to keep an eye on for sure. I would talk with a dr if it happens again!
-
I’m guessing someone here may know of a studio in that area. There’s also the option of using the lessons here. I have created them with a focus on beginners and everything is placed in order for you.

It’s great to be able to both studio and home poling. We have amazing lessons on the site here, far more content then you’ll find on any DVD set. 😉

The fish flop is different then the shoulder roll, the shoulder roll is what is best to start with as the fish flop takes more control. I show you how to avoid rolling on the neck by using proper head placement. 😊

Yeah, I looked at my calendar and saw how far into the month we are and thought I’d go watch some challenge vids, but there was only the one I’d seen! lol this month is going fast!
-
Only ONE person has done the challenge this month?
-
Yes they both spin I wouldn’t say the grip is better, but I like how easy the small diameter makes single hand moves. You’ll have to contact xpole for price.

So happy you’re enjoying the site!! Keep in mind the 30 day is a program not a challenge to attempt to complete. It’s simply a guide line the program will help you build strength and a good foundation for more advanced moves. You’ll also find a lot of general tips for pole and health. 💜

Shoogstandley, The idea behind the routines isn’t to actually get into the splits each session, but work on a group of stretches and include foam roller work that could help lead up to achieving the splits. You can do any of the routines without being able to do any kind of split. If you have any issues with a muscle group make sure to take extra time to warm them fully before you do flexibility work or pole. I suggest working not the back mobility routine as well to balance out everything.

I’m just throwing this out there….there are no particular moves that should come easily to anyone. Even doing a pole walk while maintaining neutral alignment can be challenging so never feel you should be able to do something. I’m not saying you won’t something FEEL like “this should be easy” but keep in mind that nothing related to pole SHOULD be easy. I have to remind myself of this from time to time. Also not every move is right for everyone, you’re still a pole dancer even if you never invert. 🙂
-
Yep I have splits routines here! Also keep in mind that more isn’t always better, the body needs time to rest even when stretching. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hD9tzV9HJEE

I have the 40mm Chrome and Brass they will be available here in the US again, you’ll just have to wait until more stock comes in. The brass does have more flex, however it’s not been a problem yet, and I really like the finish, far better for me then chrome.
