Chem, I thought it said xpert? but anyway it's not a 40mm
-
They don't look like 40s and they are not Xperts…..the base is the old style and so are the poles themselves, where they screw together. The Xperts have joints that hold the poles together. They could be a 45mm or 50mm xpoles. The 40mm pole is fairly new, so unless by some chance these are from a test market area, and they happen "test" them using the older style, they are not 40mm Xpert poles! This person maybe nice but the pole in the picture is not a 40mm xpert…..
We are an authorized xpole dealer here, we offer Free shipping. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif

Chem is our, info hero! Always there to save the day!

Yeah sparrow I agree,. it's a good idea to not give feedback unless they ask how they're doing or for help.
-
Please remember you can get feedback here, if you choose to. I've helped both paying, and non paying members with their form. I've met with members for video chat and gladly reviewed videos they've uploaded. The ability to upload a video directly to the site is one of the things that makes Studioveena unique! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif
Being able to see what corrections need to be made is a skill all its own, and, even in person, not every teacher has that ability.
I love it when my members credit me as their instructor. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Yay, that's good! Give yourself some more time and listen to your body, you'll know when something is not right. Don't be embarrassed, its not a competition, and I've had to start over several times myself.
You could add in some of the other shoulder exercises too. Keep working on Pole holds, Side pole holds, (like used in the Knee Tucks) But don't do them if they're painful. These things take time unfortunately. You might want to look into massage and stretching as well. Ice after exercise and try heat during the day. Massage and heat will increase blood flow to the injured area, this can speed healing. If he gave you suggestions for ice and heat follow that though. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Welcome to the site!! Don't be to worried about taking group classes, almost everyone is a little scared at first! With the classes and lessons here you'll be in good shape! We have Friday Chat as well so come check that out too. It's all day every Friday. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif

I see you've figured it out….I have 2 of the mounts and yes, we use 4 screws, and haven't had any issues, even when I had my poles at 14 and 12 feet. When you put it up again with the right amount of screws it should be fine. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

First make sure to let your injury heal.
Inverting is not all about abs, you need proper scapula engagement and strength along with strong lats, shoulders and biceps. Even your chest is used a bit! If the hands are too high or low this can be an issue too.
If the dr or chiro, gave you exercises to rehab and strengthen the injured muscle groups, make sure you're doing them. I'm glad to hear that you were warming it's an easy thing to skip. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
If you're taking the lessons here be sure to check out the many conditioning lessons.

As mentioned in the first lesson, Watch all "getting started" lessons for EACH section and read descriptions. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif This will help you plan your workout. You might want to use a notebook to write down some of the info I give you. Then you wont have to replay them over and over.
You do all of the "Pole Strength" each time you workout for 2 weeks, as listed in the description. You're not to move on to the Single squat until you be come strong enough, because it is very difficult and beginners don't need to do that one right away. This is the only one you will skip….But you do all other Pole Strength each time you practice, for two weeks. Add in conditioning or foam roller with some stretching if you like to each practice as well. Remember your going in order. I'm always one to overthink lol
If you still have questions after watching all the getting started please feel free to ask. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Always try both sides 🙂

Hi Ivygirl, it can take people not only months but years to get an Iron x. Taller ladies will have to work a bit harder for this one. You'll want to focus on conditioning your shoulder, chest, core, (including low back) and upper back. The shoulder conditioning lessons here would be helpful. Also using cable weights, to do a Lat Pull Down while standing, using a wider than shoulder width grip is a great one for the X!
Be careful if you choose to use a twisted grip, this grip isn't right for everyone and can cause injury to shoulders and elbows. I suggest using a split grip or true grip. Here is the lesson for the Iron X if you're interested. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/500ec404-2688-4862-bded-62650ac37250 A very strong Extended Butterfly is also very helpful. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

You could move back into Straight edge or straight edge V of course, some advanced things would be a flag dismount, tornado or janeiro. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

If you buy from us you never have to worry about a fake. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

One thing to mention, using my lessons here, your not "self taught". You have a guide and instructor. It's up to you to use the lessons properly, but it's all there for you, even stretching and conditioning. You can leave questions and comments on any lesson and I'm always there to help you out. Studioveena is unique, it's not like trying to learn from other sites or YouTube. You have a qualified instructor and there is an order. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Yes, you can! Many have learned only at home or mostly in home. Some of my online only students have gone on to open their own studios!! If you can find a good studio and take the lessons here, you'll have the best of both worlds. There are studio's that suggest their students subscribe to our lessons so they're able to work on things at home. This allows for faster progression.
In studio or at home, always dance within your ability. The lessons here are displayed in the order in which you should use them. Many moves are taught from the floor first, so you can safely work from there until you feel comfortable. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

First. don't feel bad about not being able to spin!! Most spins are not suitable for beginners, and should not be taught until later on, once appropriate strength is gained. It's unfortunate that some studios start off with spins. It can lead to injury and be discouraging…..Your asking yourself to do something new so it tends to look and feel strange.
Something that may be helpful would be to use a notebook to track your progress. You can write down little thoughts on how the class went and so on. Another very helpful tool is a video camera. It may seem silly to tape yourself as a beginner, but its a wonderful tool to track progress. You can easily look back and see how far you've come! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
We all progress at different rates so and not every move is suitable for every pole dancer. Some will stay at beginner level and there's nothing wrong with that.. Finding a way to track your progress is the best way to see if you're improving. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Oh those look cute!! Thanks

Shaphyre, Do the Hanky Pankys crawl up the "front" at all…that's my big issue it hurts https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif I like wearing thongs but after a while it's too painful, I don't understand how other women handle it!! I must have a hungry Vajayjay….. lol

I like Bound to you too!

I think you might enjoy the 40mm as a smaller person, but I don't think you would struggle too much either with a 45. Remember some of the greats, are tiny and started off learning on 50mm poles! We do sell both sizes here as well and are an authorized xpole dealer, and you get free shipping https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Does anyone know of tiny underwear that don't crawl up? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif

echo, You have to share them out yourself….Even when you do share, you can't watch the video on FB, you must be logged in and a member to see.
