45 is what I suggest. 😊

Don’t be sorry, these things are super popular!

I can re-post the Challenge at the beginning of August if you wanted to start then.

It’ll come back! Have you busted out the heels yet?

Don’t feel frustrated about this challenge…. keep in mind that many challenges are not set up in a way that allows for reasonable progression. Doing something strength related over and over without adequate rest usually doesn’t work for many people. When I designed my ab challenge I made sure muscle groups where not over worked, however it was still meant to be a challenge so it is not easy!
Also I’m not sure that doing any of the popular meme challenges will improve strength significantly for most people, that’s not to say some won’t see results.

Thanks for the update! They look nice.

If you find on it’s own makes you slick add mighty grip over the top and it’s nice a grippy!!

Yes, you can do a hip hold without using the back of the armpit, and I don’t usually give everything new names so I would just call it a hip hold variation. 🙂

Oh and Raven, I agree, I wonder where 409 went?

All great points of view!
I like Instagram, it’s a great way for me to make posts people are interested in right to FB and Twitter. I just wish that clips were not the ONLY thing everyone wants to see. :/ I post a few non pole pics and vids there too, but they aren’t to popular. lol
Paunobs, there are still many places in the world we haven’t reached yet, it’s challenging because we don’t have any pole related companies helping us out by advertising our site worldwide, but we do what we can!! We’re still growing and still the largest Pole site out there!

Hopefully you’ll get it sorted out soon! Also if you don’t have swelling heat really helps my injured foot, ice makes it worse, for me that is.

Don’t forget to foam roll and stretch the shin and calf in addition to the conditioning, massage and foot stretching of the foot😊
These exercises on pointing the toes might be helpful too. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/50c8ace5-5db0-439e-828c-6a350ac37250

I’m also a fan of more showgirl style poling! I stopped watching pro videos a few years ago when everything became very formulaic and it was twisted grip, followed by whatever the newest trick was over and over, but they did what they new would get scores you can’t fault them for that!
From what I’m seeing I think on the site everyone (not just me, it’s been a team effort) has done a great job of encouraging all levels and keeping a vibe of enjoying the journey instead of progress, progress or you’re a failure. That make’s me very happy. So far none of the polers but Charley, who started back when I did have commented yet, but from what I see on my FB feed they still get down when there’s lack of progress or if they stop practicing for a bit. I feel the “first generation” of polers still feel if they pole they must also be an X girl, competing or touring otherwise what’s the point. Our friends around us became famous and I think that was very discouraging for some the “first generation”. This is just speculation though.
Shoogstandley, I am traveling but have a stage pole with me, however I don’t find stage poles very inspiring 🙁 I’m hoping to find studios who will allow me to either join in open pole or use their studio space while I’m not home.
Charley, we would love to see you here more! It does feel like everything is a popularity contest when it comes to pro’s and I’ve tried to get them involved here because I think they might find it refreshing to get away from media where only the crazy stuff get’s attention. I’m not sure if it’s me personally they don’t like or if they feel using SV is a waist of time? I’m very much over social media myself, but do to the nature of the site, we have to post regularly. It becomes very draining, because on social media you’re only remembered if you’re doing something new or super challenging ALL…THE…TIME, no one can live up to that!
Polediva, it was so great to have a little time to pole with you, I think beginner can be beautiful!
