There’s no winner or prize, it’s all about community and having fun doing something together.

Everyone’s body is different and for some locking out isn’t a big deal but others it is. What did your doctor and PT say? The big problem can come from those who try to hyperextend without having the natural length. However, over time some say it will cause damage, but I’ve heard others state it’s ok. Anyway if this is a concern there are exercises that can be done to retrain to “limit” and retrain the movement. Here’s an example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwlL0PQs29g
You sound a lot like me, my hips are very open, always have been and things like splits no problem. Tell me to bend over and touch my toes or pull my leg up behind me, now that’s taken a LOT of work! I focused a lot on training the core including the pelvis. Have you tried using any of the glute strength exercises here, flowmotion stretches or done the back mobility routine here?
It would make sense that having pelvic issues these movements would be challenging.
Something else you might want to try is hypnosis or some kind of mental training. Our bodies can be tricked into being stuck or unstuck in movement patterns etc.

Thank you to all who participated! However, I will not be creating any new challenges.
Feel free to go through the old challenges and give those a try.

Many times… well, my husband has! Most companies will offer a vaulted ceiling mount. The best option is the one you can afford. Check out xpole, lupit, platinum stages and lil mynx. I’ve used all of them but lupits vaulted/slopped ceiling mount.
To install a vaulted ceiling mount you’ll find the joist/stud just like you would when using a pressure mounted or flat mount. Follow the instructions they give and of course make sure you have a ladder.

I have narrow feet and long toes. Pleaser boots fit me well. These are pleaser ⬇ï¸

Dooo it! I’ve covered carpet floors with plywood then vinyl or laminate flooring and it works so well. Not all vinyl is the same finish some has more texture so if you can tell from the description that it’s smooth, go for it. Pretty much anything will be better than a garage floor!

Hi! I give you tips for what to do next at the end of your 30 program.
Things you could do: Work on the 30 flexibility program as Dusty Rose mentioned.
Try some of the VIP programs https://www.studioveena.com/forums/view/_Veenas_Inspiring_Plans__VIP___20200430050239
Work on the routines I have.
Try going through the beginner lessons from the start. Meaning start with the first lesson listed in beginner, all lessons are in order so feel free to give that a try.
Thing to remember always warm up, keep attempts at new moves under 10 times, stretch your forearms after every session, track your progress and keep a day of rest between workouts.

So happy your grip issue is over!
Yes, your skin will get use to it…actually you’re brain and body will start to learn how to adjust your position and grip so it will not be as bad. This is very common with PC, brass and silicone. You don’t have the luxury of sliding into place like on chrome.

Here’s a peek at how I filmed my video https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMJmr6Ln1/

Welcome!!

Thought this might be helpful! If you’d like to post your videos to SV and have film on a phone or tablet that was vertical…don’t edit it as wide/horizontal. Keep the vertical dimensions then viewers can select full screen and the video will be BIG/FULL SCREEN instead of small and horizonal. If you edit it as a horizontal video it will look really little as our website like YT will make you turn the phone because it’s uploaded as horizontal but film vertical. If you film vertical (like I do now with all my videos) don’t change the dimensions ðŸ˜

Once you are cleared to start training again work on this routine, it’s got a bunch on stretches and strength work that will help prevent this. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/5e7506d9-4224-4491-8439-4bc4ac110005

I had a blast making my video…I hope you all enjoy watching. I’ll upload it before the weekend!

Thank you for sharing with us. 💜💜💜

I’ve got several 30 day programs you can follow if you’d like structure and a month long focus. Otherwise I also have VIP plans that are week long, so less of a commitment than the 30 day programs.
Here’s the list of VIP plans https://www.studioveena.com/forums/view/_Veenas_Inspiring_Plans__VIP___20200430050239
The 30 day programs are listed in the lessons section each with their own section. 🙂
Otherwise know that all lessons are placed in progressive order so keep that in mind when creating a plan for yourself. All lessons have spinning pole techniques as well. 💜

PS If you don’t have a pole you can do a wall dance, chair dance or even floor work!

I think the Adv figurehead lesson has some options https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/5f602e6a-aa30-4f4c-a6f1-0efdac110005

Do you have video of you trying? A strong invert is really important, could be something else too.

Unhooking the top foot will come with time. You can only do this if you have a super secure knee pit grip, then it’s not a problem. Because this uses an Outside Knee Pit Grip focus on making sure your hips are low enough that the back of the thigh and but touch before moving the free leg into place. Keep the low leg of the hooked leg turning across the pole. Like shown in this lesson https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/5e7be01a-3240-43d8-a75a-308bac110005 (outside knee pit grip)

If in a studio always clean between dancers. If at home you can choose…some like a dirty pole, others wipe it down every few tricks.
I suggest deep cleaning the pole 2 times a year. If you have brass that means polish, I use Brasso, then clean the polish off real good. For all other finishes including brass (after brasso) try the steam cleaner method to get all the old grip aids and junk off. https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/50ccac91-674c-4915-8e13-3b120ac37250

As far a video upload, contact webmaster to help trouble shoot. Use the contact link. Make sure your internet connection is good, make sure you’re using the right kind of file, if the file is really big try using a compression app for phone or piece of software if using a computer.

Really it isn’t a great piece of equipment but would work for a beginner who really needed something. They don’t even make these anymore. I wouldn’t feel comfortable having someone spend a lot of money on it. I hope you find something!! If not, you can always play around with chair dance and floor work!
