@ Feed Stacy Tacos (giggles at name) That's hard to say. My suggestion on the x pole Brass working better for sweaty hands is just a thought. I know some girls love the x pole brass, and others it doesn't work with their body chemistry. I personally never have to wipe my hands from sweat…if anything my hands are too dry to grip. I think that is why the TG works well for me.
I lived in CA for a while when I first had my TG. I did get sweaty sometimes because my pole was upstairs and we didnt' have AC. I would slip a bit then. So maybe the brass would work for you?

I have both the xpole brass and tg. I live in a cold climate, have dry skin, and rarely sweat. The TG is my favorite finish out of any finish. I can grip even when my skin is cool.
The Brass didn't work for me at all. I could grip with my hands if they were really hot, but that was it. My legs and body didn't work with that finish.
I suggest thinking about your climate and skin type. If you tend to sweat more go with brass, if you tend to be cold and dry get the TG. TG in a warm climate is a skin ripper, but I love it.

Have you tried the X pole Brass finish? I found their brass doesn't work for me. BUT I have dry skin and live in a cold climate, so I rarely sweat. Even in summer I don't sweat much.
Has anyone tried the x pole brass with sweaty hands/body?

Its a good idea englann! Pretty sure my pain was caused by carrying my kids on the same side. I didn't have a pole back then! I don't do everything on both sides but most things. The exercise I mentioned help tremendously.

After having my last baby was when I decided to change how I taught pole! I designed the lessons here to build strength while learning. I know your already an instructor, but I thought I would just let you know. There is also a Pole Strength Routine, in the lessons and its a great workout. Everyone is right about muscle memory, it will come back. So for now just work on building strength.
Here's the 20 min routine https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4db64418-c354-4da5-aa23-464c0ac37250

Luvlee yes, there are a bunch of shoulder stretches in the lessons. Start with this one. Working on my shoulder flexibility did help with my advanced ballerina!

AdministratorJanuary 9, 2012 at 4:07 pm in reply to: Knee Hold – how are my toes supposed to lock?Oh my, don't use a swivel chair!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif It has to be a sturdy chair so you can rest your weight on it. Have you tried it without locking the feet? That variation is at the end of the lesson. Also while your trying to figure out placement for the feet and legs, are you using your bottom arm to rest your torso on? This can really help. Try taking a look at the lesson and maybe watching what the upper body is doing.

AdministratorJanuary 9, 2012 at 3:32 pm in reply to: Knee Hold – how are my toes supposed to lock?This lesson here shows both a closed knee hold (with toes locked) and open knee hold (with feet apart) https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4d07835a-c7f4-46f1-87b1-630f0ac37250 I really recommend using a chair when first working on this move.

Sorry you felt that you were unwelcome. It seems that a strong, negative post will receive a strong reaction. Not everyone will or should agree with each other but it’s important to learn how to voice yourself without name calling or total disrespect. Disagreeable people tend to dislike a positive atmosphere.
If you have any other issues about the video I made please feel free to email me 🙂

Many veeners offered to help her and showed sympathy. Unfortunately her other interactions on this forum were aggressive as well. I don’t feel she was chased away.

I didn't know you just posted Mr. Web https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif
Anyway….I was going to say. I am very blessed to have such amazing and supportive members. It's never a good feeling to have someone verbally attack you. I hope you all know how much I care about you! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Those are good ones. Have you also been stretching the opposing muscle groups too? Sometimes we get so focused on stretching specific muscles we neglect others. Try including some stretches for the outer thighs and glutes. Using a foam roller in between stretches has help me. Also be sure your really, really, warm… try wearing warm clothing while you stretch to maintain heat. When your ready, there are some other nice stretches included in the middle splits routine.

No, I can't do them with knee forward either. I also think knees up looks nice! Do you have the lessons, I ask so I know if I can use terms/stretches used in the lessons? What have you been doing to work towards achieving them?

AdministratorJanuary 8, 2012 at 7:44 pm in reply to: Everyone’s talking about get flexy but..This is how I break it down for the purpose of the lessons:
Stretching is use to maintain! Stretching is done after any exercise, but your not going to the max and is only takes a few minutes.
Flexibility training is to gain! This is intense and therefore you will need to give the muscle a rest so they can recover. I only do Flexibility training 1-3 times a week.
I do Back mobility once a week and Legs no more than 2 times.
Like I said there are lots of methods for stretching though……

I would do a few days of heat and massage before stretching again. Then start with gentle stretching. Listen to your body. Massage is great because it will help prevent scar tissue from forming.
