I still have a few of these old poles, in fact I’m about to install my old 45 TG! I have had a chrome 50 stuck for years and then just release the next try, I don’t even know what I did!! There is a “shock” method you could try https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jlrjv-1KjPk&t=10s. You might try heat or cold on the joint, just make sure it doesn’t get wet. Good luck!!!

I had chrome Ellie’s and they were not any heavier than my pink chrome pleasers. I wore the same size too. In all brands clear heels are heavier, so maybe that’s what people are talking about?

The 30 take off program was made for just this situation 💜
-
Have you checked out the lesson for it here? You may need to build a bit more strength before moving on to this if you’re just getting back into things. 😊

Yay!! Keep working on the caterpillar, this gives you everything you need to hold the position.

If you deal with hypertension try focusing on keeping a slight bend and contracting the bicep of the extended arm.
-
I’ve not, but I’m guessing it would be fine.

Don’t be discouraged at all…the split grip bfly isn’t basic and isn’t the first one I teach. Remember the lessons here and in the app are all place in a particular order that works well for MOST people. There are always exceptions. Also if you want a rock solid butterfly start with a super strong caterpillar, you gotta be a caterpillar before you become a butterfly.:) Try the caterpillar program if you haven’t already and you’ll get more comfy with the bfly soon!

Yes, try one of the programs in the app. They all include warm ups, strength work and stretching suggestions. I created them for people who don’t want to come up with their own plan. 🙂

For distance I go by personal preference and most of all where my ceiling beams are!! You want to anchor into a joist so for me it always depends on the home. I like to use 2 separate joists so it’s about 16 inches. It makes for a nice open hammock.

PS…as far as technique goes, you have to start in side pole hold, then let the arms extend as you lift the hips up! This is why many students suffer from scapula or intercostal pain. They do it too often or before they have the strength and muscle memory and often only on one side.

The tuck invert is far more difficult than the basic. You’re basically deadlifting and unless your basic invert is very solid you don’t need to worry about the tuck right now. Have you gone through the invert program? This will help prepare for tuck and aerial inverts as well.
Don’t get stuck on a move. I see students obsessed over this invert and it’s not even a must have move. Relax, try it now and then, and keep working on other things in the meantime, because everytime you pole you’re building strength overall. Tuck invert is good for building strength but the basic invert is easier on your body and I think looks more fluid than a tuck anyway!

Hi! There’s no set timeline as far as how long it should or will take a person to do splits or back bends. Both of these take time and most of all consistency, but that doesn’t mean training heavy every day!!!! You need rest days to see improvement. As mentioned try my 30 days to flexy program, this includes the whole body and tells you when to rest and gives you tips everyday too.

I can’t think of any beginner options other than from the floor stuff. The one you mentioned is pretty challenging too. Here’s the lesson if you wanna work on it at home too. Split grip invert https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4fc78372-a964-43ee-a494-6cd00ac37250

Here’s an old video of me doing this from the ground if that helps. https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/53592cda-fb88-497c-bd61-77e00a9aa0eb

Welcome! Check out the Spinning pole group of lessons in the Bonus section! You’ll find technique help for both forward spinning inverts and back. Here’s the first lesson in for invert prep https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/548f097e-4ddc-4544-a00f-68600a9aa0eb The rest will be in order after that one. 🙂

Let’s try again….https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDj4i6YUW94&feature=youtu.be
And NO….I wonder how sturdy it is! That looks like so much fun!!

We rent too and I’ve used it in several home without issue. Just fill them in when you leave. 😊

My extensions are xpole brand…but I’m talking about personally having them, not selling. I don’t sell extensions on the site.
-
I put mine up and down everytime I use it! If it’s an xpole I suggest investing in the permanent mount, I wouldn’t put mine up and down so much if I didn’t have that. It makes it fast and easy!!!
-
Oh..I should say the 30 day programs will help with fear, that was part of the reason for them. We drill things over and over and you become comfortable…and you always start with the easiest, most comfortable options!

Let’s try that again! https://www.studioveena.com/forums/view/529fa5da-d154-4b47-9cde-67460a9aa0eb

Hi! It was a challenge not a program that’s why it’s not in the lessons. Here’s a link to an old thread! forums/view/529fa5da-d154-4b47-9cde-67460a9aa0eb

What everyone is saying was true for me as well. After my dad died, then our member and my friend Layla died it scared me. I became aware of all kinds of danger and even lost the desire to learn new pole stuff. I’m saying, it’s normal, you’re not alone and it CAN get better! Not sure if this will help but here’s an old scope on fear. https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/5632ba12-6de8-430c-bc75-1e2eac11006c
