I should add that if your using an elbow grip, then you wont need as big of an arch if you can lean far enough away from the pole. You need some kind of counter balance so you do fall back into the pole, when the legs move forward. So either booty out or lean way far away.

Yeah, I get ya. So by keeping the back arched and booty out, and bringing the legs towards the pole and not out to the sides will flatten it all out. So as if you were to sit on the floor in a V straddle, but inverted. I’m terrible at typing things out, does that make sense? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif

Welcome, a little more info on the lessons…I am up dating all the old (first addition) lessons and I’m adding brand new lessons every month. We have lessons for, a warm up, cool down, stretching, strength moves (using your pole) beginner, intermediate, advanced, and even some fun and silly lap dance lessons. I have a lot more I’ll be adding, but I’m keeping that a secret. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_tongue.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_silent.gif

I know I sure can’t perform a full flat center split to get that flat appearance. I fake it by keeping my back arched so my butt is sticking out. Then my legs move forward for the V position not straight off to the sides. Have you tried that? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_nemo.gif

I gotta get off my computer, but wanna respond quick…first….Ooohh I didn’t know that about coconut oil!! Cool.
I agree with the protein after. DON’T DEPRIVE YOURSELF of food. Now, its a whole different ball game if your trying to get "cut" for body building, but this is pole, you have to have energy! Eat all kinds of fruit and veggie. Lean protein. Be sure you getting enough calories, whole grains can be your friend, despite what some say.
Don’t underestimate rest. I know a lot of people feel that they will fall behind if the take time off, but it can really be helpful. Your not gonna loose strength if you give yourself a 2 or 3 days off. If your worried about forgetting your routine or something, record it and watch it over and over.
Get a massage, to help loosen up any over tight muscles you may have!!! Drink a ton of water after!
Make sure your also getting enough GOOD sleep. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_smurf.gif

You have to keep telling yourself that you CAN do it. Picture yourself doing the moves your scared of, over and over, tell yourself you WILL do it you CAN do it. Use a nice thick mat!! The human body and mind is powerful and amazing! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_study.gif If your taking the lessons on here, watch the invert lesson over and over, tell yourself you can do that move. Or find a video on here of someone you admire and watch it. YOU CAN DO IT!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

This is sooo true, thanks for posting!!!! I know if I don’t drink enough water I can see it right away in my extra baby belly skin, it always looks much better when I’m hydrated. I love my water! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Thats sooo true Dayanara, good point! I was assuming she knew the position and was struggling because she couldn’t bend over far enough. Yes, the farther down the pole you can get your upper body (think: head to knee’s lower if you can) the easier it will be. This is why you need hamstring flexibility, then you can do a good forward fold. Also be sure your not on your spine, you need to be off to one side, on your trap (the slopping part of your neck) not off on the edge of your shoulder or right on the spine. Here is the lesson if your taking them

Sounds like a a lack of flexibility, probably in both the upper ( chest and shoulders) and lower body (hamstrings) You’ll get it! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif

AdministratorApril 25, 2010 at 2:43 pm in reply to: I swear my pole was better before alcohol!Grip on all poles can vary from day to day. If you have dry skin, or a change in weather. I did find that for the chrome X I like to use windex. I have had the same slipping troubles with Alcohol…although Vodka seemed to work well too. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif You’ll get to the point where you’ll wake up and "feel" in the air, that ya….. its gonna be a perfect grip day!!

LOL that was frickin funny. Never thought I would see baton twirling men, behaving like male exotic dancers. How odd. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif Thanks for sharing!

If your taking the lessons here it is…I’ll give you your points of contact and another trick is to turn the torso.

I had the same problem with my TG at first too. I no longer do though, my pole is about 3 months old now. I am not sure if it had to do with the humidity (it was very rainy when I had slip troubles) or if it has gotten better grip as I used it. Could it be your weather, also I would slip if I became sweaty, when it was humid. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif

I think telling them to not talked about it would confuse them and they would think the pole is a bad thing. My kids are all little too and they don’t really ever mention it to anyone, only if the person is in the house and see the pole. To them its exercise that mommy teaches and does https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Doing a full nude amateur night was one of the most empowering thing I have ever done!! Loved it….my only regret was that I didn’t know how to pole use a pole at the time! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif Females are powerful, with or without clothes. hehe. I loved the performance on stage, but it wouldn’t work for me as a job. I’m mentally worn out at the end of a day dealing with the head games you have to play with kids, (like how to get them to eat their food)…to go to work and have conversions with men…ehh, not me. Now give me a stage were I can be in my own world, and be a tease, that’s my thing. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif I’m always impressed with the girls at the clubs who can sit down and start up a conversation, they know how to get you to fork over the money, now that is a talent all in it own! Seems to me that working in a club not only requires stage skills but people skills as well. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_safesex.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_safesex.gif

awww thanks!! The old ones were good, but I’m really excited about the new ones, and I have had great feedback from everyone loving the Points.Of.Contact. and better view. It will be a bit bittersweet when everything is updated and I no longer see my old pole room, where everything began!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif
