Goop on the poles is a HUGE fear and one of the various reasons I don’t want to compete. I don’t like grip aid and find it turns slick if your too hot. Scary!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_shaking2.gif You would think the competition regulations would have pole cleaners using ultra powerful cleaner so the next competitor would not have residue left over from the last dancer. A slick pole is a dangerous pole https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_pale.gif I know its hard to get grip aid off, so I’m not sure what a possible solution would really be reasonable. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif

Ok so every week I get fed up that bendy buddies is in the middle of the night for us.
Fed up? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_pale.gif We never tried to excluded anyone https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cry.gif …the member who started it just happened to live in the US. I can’t make it into that chat either at that time cuz I’m putting the kids to bed and making school lunches for the next day https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif … I think its great your starting a European bendy! What time are you all thinking, I may be able to make it to this one! -

Nothing!!! The reason it doesn’t look just like mine is a matter of flexibility. This will come in time. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif The free leg is up a bit higher than mine (and there is nothing wrong with that!) If you would like to improve the pose…. working on your low back, and hip flexor flexibility will help and allow you to reach the free leg down towards the floor more. But remember pole moves don’t need to look just like mine or any other dancers, take the knowledge you have and make it your own. For your first time working with it I say it looks wonderful!!!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

I personally think colon cleansing is NOT necessary. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_ncool.gif YOu don’t want to get rid of the good errr um "stuff" in your bowls, healthy bacteria ect…. that all goes too. The best thing I feel, is to eat right! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Its good you stopped Charley. Could be a tendon ligament or some kind of impingement (tendinitis). When I was ready to start working on the TG I began strength training. Targeting my Lats, shoulders, tri and bi’s. It really worked well .Standing wide front lat pulls were really helpful. I could tell a huge difference from the first time working on the TG to a even as soon as a week into strength training!! For now stay away from the TG and ice the area after poling or working out. Massage does wonders and working on some of the shoulder/scapula strength moves will help get you back on track. I don’t think you have the lessons Charley but if you do there are a bunch in there for scapula stabilization. They can get your shoulder back on track. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

There are a few theories on warming up before weight training. Just like there are tons of theories on how long to hold a stretch! You body will respond best to whatever exercise your asking it to do if you move into it slowly with a warm up. When I was lifting I didn’t do a cardio warm up….I simply chose light weights for my first set to gently "wake up" the muscles. If I was cold and the gym was freezing then I would walk to warm up. I feel the best reason for warming up ( I don’t do any stretching before poling the warm up I use has some gentle stretching that occurs do to the nature of the movement ). Anyway the best reason for warming up is INJURY PREVENTION!!!! Warming up before exercise can also prevent some muscle soreness. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

If your pushing to the point of pain then you will have slow progress for sure. Pain can = muscle tears this is something that will slow progress. Stretching and Flexibility training are different.
Let me clarify… For both you need to be warmed up ALWAYS. Stretching should be comfortable, its purpose is to MAINTAIN the R.O.M you already have. Its important to do after a workout to "remind" the muscle to relax back into their original state. So after poling for instance if you only have time to stretch only one muscle group stretch the hands, forearms and shoulders. These tend to be the most heavily used. After running stretching the Quads, hamstrings and calves are important you get the idea https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_idea.gif . Really you should try to make time to GENTLY stretch each muscle group after exercise for a happy body. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif Stretching should NEVER be painful. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_ncool.gif
Flexibility training is focusing on INCREASING your flexibility. This requires more time. You may feel discomfort but PAIN (as in OMG why am I doing this?) means you have pushed too far. As I said before you may also have pain and soreness after, if your not warmed up properly or if you have exercised hard that same day. If you can’t take a full breath while in the position then your probably pushing too hard. Pushing too far may actually cause your flexibility to decrease.
You can’t expect overnight results when working on Flexibility. Some will see a change faster than others. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cyclops_ani.gif

You should not be sore after stretching. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_pale.gif If you are here are a few of the most common things that could cause soreness.
Not warming up sufficiently or stretching to far…either of these can cause muscle tissue to tear.
If you danced hard that same day or the day before it can be lactic aid built up….
Drinking plenty of water will help and try some massage.Always warm up and I mean really well, before working on Flexibility and never push to the point of pain. Discomfort is fine but not pain. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Hello and welcome! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif I think you’ll enjoy the lessons. I have them set up in order so you will know which moves are appropriate for each level. I always suggest starting with the strength section first and then moving on to the beginner lesson. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif We have Chat all day on Fridays (this is the day I make time for chat and can answer questions) and bendy buddies chat on Thursday (a group of dancers get together to stretch) https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif

Congrates on all you moves!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif I know some competitions will not allow the use of gloves, so I would check on that before making a decision. Whatever you decide on, I would defiantly practice with it so your accustom to it.
