Yes, my video is for grip help with cold poles and environments. 😊

Oh no! I hope you’re doing ok!!! I find that itac gets so greasy in heat, it’s not good at all in warm conditions. It’s best used for cold poles and dry skin, even then as you warm it can become slick. Dry hands, dirty girl and might grip are better options for warm humid conditions. You want grip aids that dry not add tack! Dew point is also not the best option for humid and warm conditions.

Yes, welcome!! I’m in the North Bay, and there’s NOTHING here for pole at all.
I don’t know of many studios in the bay other than ones mentioned, I think there’s an S factor in SF too. I’m here if you ever want meet and hang out. This area is so beautiful!

I use between 10 – 18 pounds for anything that uses arms only. For chest and back I use 20 – 40 pounds depending on the exercise. I will say that I have not lifted weights in a LOOOOONG time. You can get a great workout using body weight and things like a suspension trainer and pull up bar. I do a lot of the exercises I post to the lessons, like the newest ones for the challenge.

To help get over the pain of elbow grips use a larger diameter pole if it’s available to you, the smaller around the pole the more it hurts! As with any hold, make sure you are properly engaging the muscles of the scapula, abs and lats!
Working on moves that use a partial split grip can help you build up the strength needed. An example would be these moves listed in this search https://www.studioveena.com/searches/index?s=Partial+split+grip. You’ll find lesson links and photos along with other discussions on partial and split grips. Good luck 🙂

Here are the FREE versions, just clips posted, to my Instagram account as well. They were posted when I was fairly new to IG so they would be near the beginning of my account. 🙂 https://instagram.com/studioveena/

Oops here’s the link for 30 day take off https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/50e4694e-a85c-4fa0-8e66-61940ac37250

Hi! You will find a ton of conditioning you can do for pole in the lessons. Most exercises don’t require a pole to start either 😊 The 30 day take off program also takes you through 30 days of training as a new dancer. Here’s video explaining more. When you do purchase the lessons you have access to ALL lessons here, conditioning, flexibility, pole, hula hoop and more.
Lil mynx poles go up quick so that would be a great option provided you don’t have concrete ceilings.
-
Oh and it would depend on how you entered into it! For me I see Gemini being best NOT side climb.
-
I don’t know of a video, and I can’t see why it wouldn’t work. I would assume as long on you place the pole along the outside of the foot arch area it should be possible. It would take more strength in the adductors because you don’t have the bottom of the foot, only the side to help push! I’m pretty sure I’ve done it before tho…..I bet someone will have a video.

Agh….accidentally hit save before I posted the lesson link 😋
