Yes, I sold another one I had a month ago to a woman from CA. Everyone is looking for poles right now!

I’m sure it’s a long shot for you, but if you have the ability to drive here, I will give it to you. The pole will not come apart and it’s not as sturdy as an x stage and that’s why I’m asking so little. It’s perfectly fine for a beginner and had never really been used. Shipping with the pole as one piece would be a challenge alone. Here’s a picture.

Yes, re-lube anything you wipe off…use whatever xpole suggests…I’m not sure what that would be.

I wish I still lived there!!! I have a star stand alone stage that I’m selling for 50 dollars. I don’t have the space for it in my new home. I’m in Vegas now tho. Shipping it would be a pain and expensive as there are a lot of large pieces.

You should put a bit of lube back in the threads you wipe off or they can get stuck. 🙂

In fact not in face LOL

[Veena]

I’ve only seen poles rust because of continuous moisture not a one time thing. In face I use steam to deep clean my x poles and they do great. Exposure to moisture need to be prolonged in my experience, damp rooms, fog, sitting in water.

Whoever said you HAVE to do squared splits is just being picky. Don’t stress one bit! If fact in heels squared splits look weird a pretty looking split is an open split. Also I have no problem with working on squared splits, but I only do it as a method of targeting different muscles.

If you’re not doing a split contest don’t worry about it. I would still train with squared hips too, but no worries if you never do a full split squared.

Do you sweat a lot when you exercise, like dripping? Then don’t do PC. If the skin just gets tacky then PC would be great.

[Veena]

Depends how sweaty you get.

I’ve never used spray paint and would think it would wear off.

Go to shop that does car or motorcycle paint and tell them you’d like to have your pole powder coated.

[Veena]

I don’t believe there’s anyway to fix it. You could also have the pole powder coated if you wanted something different!

[Veena]

This is most likely what it looks like.

Here’s what I found….

“A sagging ceiling does not necessarily mean that the plasterwork has broken away from the lath though. Old houses settle and the ceilings go along for the ride. So, if your ceiling is sagging or sloping, it may still be OK.

In any sagging areas where you suspect that the plaster has separated from the lath, stand underneath and gently push upwards with the palm of your hands. A little give is normal but if you feel the plaster move up and down, this means that it is not attached to the laths. Dust and debris may fall from cracks as you do this.

NOTE: Don’t go crazy here, if you push and shove a really bad ceiling hard a few times, you might end up ‘wearing’ it! Go gently 😕

lath and plaster and how it fails
Lath and plaster and how it usually fails

When a ceiling fails completely the lime mortar or plasterwork separates from the laths and drops down. Effectively this means that the plasterwork is hanging underneath the laths, virtually unsupported. Sometimes it is only the horse hair strands in the mortar that is holding up the plasterwork! This rarely happens over the entire area though. Some areas may be perfectly fine.”

Also, there are joists, but you won’t be able to use a stud finder or knock method to find them because there’s all the other wood lathe. This makes it great for putting up a pole because there’s lots of support, unlike sheet rock that only has joists/studs. The trick is to know about where the joists would be and if the ceilings are good. 🙂

I can’t speak for your ceiling for sure but I lived in an old home with plaster and lathe and it was actually very strong! Because of how it was put together there was lots of support and I don’t have to worry about finding joists. At least the way our was done. You won’t hurt the floor with the pole as long as they are in good shape, like not sagging or rotted. Removable poles all have silicone on the bottom to protect and prevent slipping. It’s hard to say without seeing it or feeling it…
