why can’t you rip up the carpet??
Its not my house! LOL We rent. -
I would try the boots…I thought I had strong hamstrings too, until I started doing the star, and knee holds. That position is really unnatural, you’ll get it! Boots I say! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif

I’m telling ya its all about the hamstrings (the back of the thigh) muscle. It contracts in the same basic manner as your arms bicep muscle….it can pull. On the pole work might include side climbs, the star (this one is great for preparing you for the knee hold) to name a few. For exercises off the pole….squats, walking lunges…if you focus on pressing off with your HEEL you will focus more on the glute/butt and hamstring area. Bridges are great too. I would also try a pair of high sticky boot, this can help you work on your strength without the PAIN https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_pale.gif on your skin, you can then focus on holding the move and not the pain.

I’ve been watching your lessons and I walk into it the way you show it. I have yet to try anything on static other than climbing. I really should. I just don’t see how you can do a full circle lol. I would think my skin would stick to the pole.Ohhh ok, the method in my lessons are only to be done on static…as I said before, the technique is different on spin. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif IF your walking into the moves and using the momentum of your legs, like I show you, you’ll be going way to fast on spin https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif that is why your having a hard time holding on and keeping position https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif .

Yes I second that…use the wall and keep the pressure off your head….engage your shoulders, so your not slumping down into them, so if your ears are to your shoulders that not what you want. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif Use the wall its soooo much easier than the pole at first.

I really think learning spins on static mode is best first. Is the teacher or person you watching video of or taking lessons from, using a static pole or spin?? If its static you’ll have to change the way your entering and exiting your spins. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

I almost always wear my pole shorts really low cut…keeps the muffin top away and helps keep the extra skin from flopping over! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif I want full coverage over the lady business!!! I don’t want to flash anyone https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif If the crotch area is too tiny I find I avoid some movements that might expose myself. hehe. I don’t wanna have to get a wax job just to pole on a daily basis…..so more crotch please…um coverage that is. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif I really don’t care if my butt shows or not… it seem like to get good crotch coverage you need a good amount of butt coverage too. I love the cut of the Hanes boy cut underwear for women…if someone could make a pole short like that I would love it! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif I actually cut apart an old pair of mine when I first started poling to make a pattern. I only had some terrible material to use and it worked, but they had no give to them because of the material, and I seemed to have lost the pattern when we moved out here to CA. Ok enough rambling, two things I look for…
1 crotch coverage
2 low cut/sits on hips…. or can I roll it down and make it low cut. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif -
You should always try every move on BOTH sides…this is no right or wrong side, its a matter of preference…but if pole is your only form of strength work, you should be try to learn on both sides. Your teacher might not be able to teach the other direction and so she didn’t want to get confused. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif

I’m still very confused…someone told someone to run?? into a move https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif Sound like you all have it figured out now….I’m still lost https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif maybe you had to be there. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

First be sure that you only hand tighten the pole pieces….then, here is a trick I have been using….BEFORE I go to take down the pole..so before I loosen the dome, I loosen the pole pieces themselves…not all the way, but just enough so I know they will come apart once I get the pole down. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

I totally think its a great idea!! I do wanna wait until after oct……just because I want that challenge to be really open to what ever crazy Halloween https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_batman.gif tricks and treats people can come up with. So I’m thinking we’ll start this in Nov. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif I love the idea. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_idea.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_idea.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_idea.gif

Hey guys…it can also be really helpful if you think of bringing your knees in as you lift up into the shoulder mount. By going into a tuck position on the way up you have less leverage to deal with making the move easier. So kick one leg (gently if you need a lot of kick your not ready) up and as you bring your feet off the ground don’t think of moving right into a V… bend the legs and tuck…then open into the V or bring your legs to the pole. So its… kick-tuck-V. Once you master the tuck first method then you can work on V leg and straight legs into the SM. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
