Other than making sure the bearings look good I’m not sure. I hope you get it worked out!

Bearings are what make the pole spin smooth. They’re found in the dome this is what they look like. https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/5ec5b518-63b4-4bf7-b50c-3b3aac110005
They’re right if the pole is over tight it will bounce back and not spin well. However, if the pole will not spin smooth even if not set up then I’d check the bearings. Make sure they’re put in correctly.

Did you buy it from the xpole US official website? I thought they no longer sold that model and now only offer the Xpert pro and Sport (non spinning) That’s an older style with out the x-lock.
The joints just hold the pole pieces together, so that shouldn’t do much as far as spin pole. I’d say something is wrong with the bearings. It shouldn’t have resistance at all when spinning with or without a person… something is wrong.
Use whatever extensions get you closest, as long as you can give it a few twists you’re good. I wouldn’t over extend it.

That’s great! I’m glad you shared with us. Good luck on your journey and let us/me know if there’s anything else we can do to help.
The best advice I can give when it comes to social media, if YOU think a video is too long, then it’s waaay too long. You want ppl to watch all the way to the end in order to create relevancy for your channel, this is pretty standard on all platforms. Some long vids are good (I have several) but having shorter vids that most will watch till the end is important for growing a channel. Feel free to keep sharing the videos here too!!

There isn’t right now, but I’ve been trying to think about how to go about making it more easily accessible

Thanks Corrie! I’ve got a little comic series I’ve done and I’ll be sharing them on IG and FB

I would try working the smaller muscle groups of the glutes and pelvis. These are all good for that: Hip lifts (seated not standing with correct posture) V sit compressions, pike compressions, booty squeeze, clamshell. All found here https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view_category/b7051e94-30fb-102d-80ae-003048b8feb1/sort
I would also suggest the flowmotion routine here as well.
PS I can’t do an eagle at the moment as I’ve not been training it, I really have to stay on it as my back isn’t naturally flexy. I can hardly grab my foot right now. Too much time working on lessons and not enough training 🙂

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!
