You're smart for wanting to build strength!! If you're looking for things you can do at home with or without the pole, check out the lessons here if you can. I start you off with strength work first, and in addition to that, there's a section for pole conditioning exercises.https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Hello and welcome!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gifThe professional pole dancers do have very strong upper bodies, but keep in mind they do this for a living and train A LOT! I don't think any of them look too muscular, but then again I think muscles are sexy. Genetics always play a part in how muscular we look too.https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rambo.gif
For an amateur level pole dancer you'll find pole gives you a nice shapely body. When done properly you do not need to suffer injury either. Chem listed the most common injuries already….all can be prevented!!!

@ shona it wont stop all bruising, but because is sticks to the pole you'll be able to climb with less stress on the foot.
Willio, Cliimbing with both feet pointed will improve your strength for sure!!

If your taking the lessons, there are several stretches for the shoulders and the back, listed in the Stretching section of the lessons. These are all important ones to work on even if your goal isn't to become Gumby Flexy. lol Here's the first of 10 for Back mobility https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4ddfb933-22f0-4762-b396-642a0ac37250
Here's the first of 5 Shoulder Stretches. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/6cebe8fa-b893-11df-856f-001b214581be https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Have your therapist take a look at these conditioning exercises. There are 10 total that focus on proper shoulder/scapula engagement. Here's the first of the 10 https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/0225276c-b90a-11df-856f-001b214581be
For many people what FEELS right isn't always correct, this is why using a mirror or video so you can see what your doing can be helpful. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

It's nice to see more people using the POC's! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gifI've been told the xpert training is pretty identical to mine as well, so it's nice to see some cohesive teaching! Yay. I know I have heard good things about your coarse Empy. Angel's is also well spoken of too.

Oh I have wondered this myself! I think it would peel but if your careful you could make it through a song?

lol Chem, you should see my secret bondage room….Just kidding……or…am…I…..https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

I always suggest the 45mm chrome for new home dancers, because the TG can be a bit too grippy for a new dancer. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif

If your still having trouble climbing try this stuff, it's kinda fun and you can wrap it around and put it anywhere. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Pipedream-Fantasy-Pleasure-Bondage-Tape/dp/B001LUR48O

Sorry about the typos lol using my phone !

If your feet are bruising and hurting when climbing you might want to chech your technique. Try making sure your pushing the shin into the pole and pressing the inside of the knee into the pole when climbing. The foot shouldnt be taking on all of the pressure. This is very common for new polers to rely on the foot to hold them. Using the upper body ( back and biceps ) is also important for all climbs. So in short the foot can wrap around the pole but it shouldn’t be taking on much of the pressure. Give that a try. Boots and shoes can be a great tool for performing so you can climb easier with less effort! 😉

Are you wanting something because your foot hurts and your always bruising when you climb?

If stretching turns into pole play or if I decide to hoop, I will not be able to sleep. Even when I do some more advanced, strenuous stretches, I need about 2 hrs to relax before I can actually go to bed and sleep. Sometimes when I really advance in a stretch that night I'll be on a bit of a high and can't sleep either. lol https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif

Beginner2, don't feel like you have to cut those things out of your videos. We aren't picky! I don't mind if a video is totally uncut… and we all make mistakes! So don't feel like you have to edit. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Everyone is totally right, anyone can enjoy pole dance. I also say X pole would be your best option for poles if you will me moving often. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

If your competing and can't hold the jade flat, I would opt for the Half Jade instead. So tuck the (gripping) leg and work on extending the free leg until flat. Also if your performing it for people who have never seen pole dance, you could just hold the not flat jade and it would be impressive! If your doing it for a comp then it should be flat! But doing a jade for fun? …… then how flat it is doesn't matter. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

It's super important to take care of your forearms. Warming up the hands/forearms and then stretching the flexors and extensors after every pole session can help prevent carpel tunnel and other injury. If you're on the computer a lot, stretching throughout the day is important too. I don't have any stretches for free posted anywhere, (those are in the lessons) but here is a video I did a few years ago. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8QzZnFkXn8 Going to a Dr or specialist due to an injury that could be prevented isn't cheap. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
