This is a tricky one, there are a lot of things it could be. Can you do the V leg variation of the straight edge, with any of the grips? Like this? https://www.studioveena.com/galleries/view/4f88eb00-6f9c-4764-a7be-294b0ac37250

Aww don't feel bad, the first day back is usually rough! Also, I still start with a some strength and conditioning before I jump into advanced stuff, when I've been off the pole, for some time. You'll get it back! If grip is still an issue with the humidity try working on floorwork, or just dancing and improving movement around the pole.
Lyme there are a lot of things I can't do right now, but I know they will come back.
It's nice to vent though https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif

All you need to do is get some water in a spray bottle, spray the area that is smashed down and fluff it up with a comb https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif It may take a few times to fluff it back up, but it's always worked well for me.

I say, yes! I think if its a hair style you love then you'll make it sexy! I personally think dreads on a pole dancer would be hot. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cool.gif Your friends hair looks sweet btw

I don't know technically, as in chemistry wise. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif sounds like the 45 tg is a good fit for you!!
-
I have all of these finishes and sizes…From my experience, here is what you should consider.
If your a seasoned dancer (sounds like you are) and you're looking for better grip go with TG or Brass. Chrome is best for new dancers and those who love to do static spins.
BRASS: Do you sweat a lot when you dance or live in a warm climate, is your poel space warm? If yes, then go with the Brass finish. When I lived in the Midwest I couldn't grip the brass, here in Vegas it's been wonderful!!! Sweaty hands work better with the brass, then TG or chrome.
TITANIUM: Do you have troubles staying warm, or live in a cool/cold climate, is your pole space cool? Then go with Titanium, This finish has worked well for me in ALL climates!
I love my 40mm but I still love my 45mm poles too! I'm 5'8" ….The 40 is wonderful for creating new lines and extensions, but I prefer split grip work on the 45. There are benefits to all of the different diameter poles. I've tried 38's too and they don't feel much different than the 40. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Oh I bet you'll get lots a great advice from the members here, cut they're awesome!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
If your looking for a removable pole, you might wanna try the xpole. We do sell them here on the site if your interested.
I would get a stud finder, makes it easy to find the joist, but if you have plaster ceiling it wont work.
Think about checking out the online lessons here. They are a great way improve your skill when you are not in the studio. I also include stretching and conditioning lessons that can help you progress faster. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

That's a lot of working out both of you! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif Rest!! Rest days are good,https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif and just as necessary as workout days. If your training or working that much, your diet (not dieting) lol but what you eat and how often, is very important. Eating often, making sure you get enough healthy food, during the day will help with fatigue. Bananas are great, and can be just as helpful as an energy drink! Plain old water is also very necessary. Whenever I start to feel tired during the day, I drink some water, and usually it helps boost my energy.
I eat 6 times a day. Breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, snack. Keeps my blood sugar regular, so I can avoid fatigue. I eat larger snacks on the days I workout. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Cliche, did you see a dr about your elbow? Do you know how you were injured? You might not have to wait 2 weeks depending on what happened.

Lyme, I'm sorry that lady is being crazy!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_evil.gif When I run into ridiculous people who resort to name calling or are just plan stupid. I don't even both responding….Block, or Delete them. Those negative people love to argue and upset otheres, so while you may want to justify why you love pole. Is it really worth your time to bother with this person? Probably not. xoxo
Keep on posting and sharing what you love.Your a beautiful person and actions speak louder than wordshttps://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif

Try resting a bit longer between flexibility sessions, if that doesn't help then give me a shout and we'll re-evaluate. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

You may want to look at a few things.
Are you pushing too far? Sounds like you've been stretching for a while now, so you shouldn't be sore after every time.
Are you really, really warm, I cannot stress how much this helps!
Are you also doing any running or strength building actives? These can reduce flexibility if you're not stretching well after training.
My first thought, is possible over training, if your feeling like things are just getting tighter. It's OK to take time off. Most important, listen to your body, everyone is different and we have to learn what works best for us. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Hello and welcome to the site! You've come to the right place to get started!https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Hello and welcome! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gifHave you looked into the lessons here? I've got some great stretches and strengthening lessons for the hands, and wrists/forearms. Stretching the hands and forearms after each practice is so very important. There are a lot of things you can do with your pole to strengthing as well.
Beautiful horse btw!

Opps I meant to say invert OR shoulder mount!
-
A controlled invert with legs extended or without any momentum takes time. You'll get there, a small sweeping reach with the outside leg is fine. Its jerking the upper body with a hard swing or jump and kick that can be a problem. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

I think it's a great idea for next months Challenge. Joalex! I did a chair dance to #1 Crush.

If it's an xpole they are meant to be removed often if need. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

SadieNikole, Welcome back!! If you have been off the pole for a bit, I would suggest starting from the beginning of the lessons again (if you haven't). Conditioning and strength based moves are important as a beginner or if you've taken time off.
If you ever have a question as to what muscle groups to strengthen, for a particular move in the lessons, take a look at the descriptions. I have listed the major muscle groups use. Then you'll be able to either use the Pole strength, Conditioning or weights at a gym, to focus on those areas. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

1. Yes, you can leave your pole up, but you should check to see if you need to tighten or adjust it every time before you dance on it. Sometimes the longer you leave the pole up the harder it can be to take down, but if you don' t need to travel with it it's, not such a big deal.
2. For the lessons please watch all of the "Getting started" lessons first. These lessons tell you how to use the lessons and how to organize your workouts. All lessons are placed in the order in which you should do them. Read all descriptions for each lesson. If you have any more questions feel free to ask. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
