Yes, the lessons are in order and there are "getting started" lessons for each section. These will give you tips and help you plan your workouts. If English isn't your first language you can take a look at the descriptions for each lesson and translate that. In the discription I list how often to perform certain exercises and again, provide tips for setting up a workout routine. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Polefairy, I have never used a 40mm, but I have used a smaller 38 and liked it. There's some adjustment when performing some leg grips (not all) things like the adv Ballerina are much easier on a smaller pole! I really never use my 50mm poles anymore. I plan on getting the 40mm at some point. I think you would like it.

Hi Riddle, to answer the question you asked…… I would contact Xpole they should be able to give you more info on the availability of the new 40mm. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

Oh something to try if your body and climate is cold and dry… A humidifier. I used my fabric steamer the other day on my pole ( to clean it ) and then left it running in the pole room and used it a bit on my body ( holding it far away so I didn’t get a steam burn ) but it worked so well. Lol

Yummy homemade fudge!!! Happy holidays to you!!

Yeah, I think there is something about doing things in front of other, gets our adrenalin going! Also at home we tend to jump on the pole without warming up the pole or our bodies and that doesn’t help! I can always lift heavier weights at the gym than at home.

What moves are you looking to use the split grip for? If its for spins… regardless of the bottom hand placement, you want most of the weight on the top arm. Like PFM said engage the scapula. The bottom hand is just there to keep you moving away from the pole really, not to hold you up.
If your looking to do static holds check out this lesson https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4d2f086d-9d38-4e2f-8f09-0b800ac37250 and start with the partial split grip first, this will allow you to use the biceps too, putting less stress on the shoulder and wrist.
Conditioning for all split grips would include: shoulders, wrists, and hands. There are lessons that focus on all of these areas in the conditioning section. The descriptions list the muscle groups used and all muscle groups are listed together. 🙂 climbs (all variations) are one of the best strength builders so work on theses as well.

I'll begin posting them after Christmas break. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_santa.gif

You could try using spin mode instead of static for spins, this would allow you to grip the pole with the elbow too. You couldn't perform every spin this way but there would be some nice options for you. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Hopefully someone will have experience with this and weigh in…..
I can tell you, I would be far more impressed with a future employee dressing well than if someone shows up in pole gear, or jeans. When I was interviewing for personal training jobs I always dressed up. I would bring some pole clothes with you and leave them in the car, so if you need them your covered. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Hello and welcome to the site!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif

Stay away from static spins! I suggest talking to your physiotherapist about pole and maybe showing them some clips of what pole dancers do so they understand what is involved. Then ask them what kinds of exercises they could give you to condition your shoulder. Starting up with Strength training for the pole will be very important. Learning to properly hold the scapula when climbing, inverting and spinning will be very important so your not hanging off the arm. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif

Yay everyone!

Yes, fear is a totally normal road block for most moves. Make sure your using pillows or a mat and a spotter, also don't invert too high up stay really low, try sliding down a bit before moving into Inverted Crucifix. Pull pull pull into the pole with the back leg that is resting along the pole.https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif

Fantastic! I hope the Veeners help you out!

Are you super warm before trying this? Anything with the legs is such a pain if your not warm or if your pole is cold. Check your POCs too and make sure your using the right areas of the legs, Sometimes we get confused when upside down and forget what goes where. From an invert, it sounds like you just need to be patient with yourself and continue working on a stronger invert. If you can't hold the invert or bring the knees up over the hands, getting into a Crucifix will be challenging! You can still do your crucifix from the floor while your building up your invert. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif
