However accidents happen, I pole danced during my last pregnancy and danced within my ability without issue… BUT, the pregnancy before I fell down a small flight of steps while very pregnant (I instinctively turned and landed on my hip so everything was ok!) but it could have been very bad! My point is accidents happen even doing everyday things like walking steps.
Fear is something that is very powerful and whatever you allow your mind to dwell on tends to manifest. So if you always come into pole practice with fear and worry, you will have a difficult time moving past these fears. The best thing you can do is stay positive and don’t dwell on negative thoughts, when they pop up, learn to switch on positive thoughts.

If so you can avoid unnecessary injuries that will keep you off the pole by practicing pole in a progressive manner. Moves using the grips you’ve listed are not beginner level (at least not to me) They are intermediate and advanced. I don’t even teach the twisted grip for the most part.
If you don’t have a studio that offers conditioning at strength work for these grips you may want to look into the lessons here, I have many conditioning, strength and pole lessons to help you achieve these grips. I also provide close up looks at hand placement and address proper scapula engagement as well. I’ve placed everything in order and you will progress naturally to these more advanced grips. As I mentioned before its REALLY important to condition the body for these grips and with youtube it’s REALLY hard to know if the move someone is sharing truly is beginner appropriate! Split grips and twisted grips are not beginner pole work. If you’re looking for instruction at home the lessons here are perfect for that! 🙂

I have heard of others having the same issue with hands and TG. I don’t have sweaty hands normally and I don’t have issue with my TG, however, in Vegas I would sometimes have a slip grip issue when it was very hot and I would sweat. I think Brass and stainless is better for sweaty hands. Try using mighty grip on the hands maybe?

Yep you can post only here if you like!

Yes, be careful if it is a Carmen pole! Everyone has great advice. If you are looking for more guidance check out the lessons here, you’ll find grip strengthening exercises along with help for moves like Pole Holds with a slide down to the floor for grip control as mentioned. Good luck!
