Oh one more thing, the disadvantage well….the stage, I love to do floorwork and its hindered a bit, but I have also use a Platinum stages, stage pole and really, really prefer the X stage. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

I have used the X stage. I’m thinking about getting one too. I really liked it! Its sturdy and still has the spin option too, the base is large enough that you don’t feel like you’ll fall off and there are know sharp edges. The pole is nice and tall too, so just be sure you have enough hight for it. Its 10ft all together. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif Here is a fellow member Kittyclimber using her X pole. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cat.gif

Yes roxy is right, you never HAVE to use only one side…its best to work on both! Start with the side that is most comfortable for you, then work on the opposite side. The grip I show in the lessons is a pretty standard grip…BUT there are a few other grips you can use the new lessons with show those. Placement of the pole should be close in towards the neck, not way off on the shoulder. You might want to try a new grip I have started to use something I call the "Veena grip". I do the Veena grip along with a few others in this vid of Fleur and I.

Looks like that pole just slots together. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumbdown.gif A quality pole will have threads that connect the pieces so they screw together. The cheap poles that just slide together have problems with the pieces flaring out and spinning around each other. A pole is a piece of exercise equipment you get what you pay for. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif Thanks for the post. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif

Oh thats wonderful to here https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif Please post!! You were one of my first members, I would love to see you dance, getting to see everyone dance makes me feel like I know them sooo much more.
I HATE dancing on my carpet too, I’ve been hoping to find a good rental with something other than carpet, but no luck so far. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif Iike to wear sock or heels. I always put on something that makes me feel good when I dance, if I don’t I just feel unmotivated. Post Post Post!

Welcome!!! Sounds like you ladies will have a blast.

Sound cool, but I wouldn’t put anything on the top of my pole, it could fall down on you or you could kick it, then you’d be seeing stars https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_shaking2.gif lol How did it attach?

Ahhhh the joy’s of Youtube. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_mad.gif I’m sorry some one said that to you. Don’t feel bad though, it happens to EVERYONE at some point if they post to youtube, your not alone. I average about 3 rude comments a week, just block the person and delete the comment, if you want…some times I just leave them, because they are so stupid, I think its funny to have others see how dumb the person is. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif Your beautiful!!

Alright, way to go. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif I’m glad to hear your not jumping https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif into the move!! Inverting is a fun thing, I second what Roxy said, keep you shoulders engaged! The more control you have over your invert the less likely you are to be injured. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

ITS NOT A MUSLCE OR TENDON TEAR!!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
I wonderful friend of mine and Chris’s told me to check out this guy she had seen before. He does orthopedic massage and he’s a certified instructor of Manual Therapy.
The DRs had me doubting myself, they had been say "it has to be a muscle or tendon tear" My gut was telling me otherwise…I know my body, and there was NO bruising, NO huge amount of swelling and no sudden pain. But non of the Drs would adress that, they only looked at the fact that I couldn’t use my bicep to lift any weight! arrrrg, they treated me like I knew nothing. The two sentences the first dr said that will stick with me are "well how do you know" when I told him its not my elbow joint popping but the tendon and at the end of my visit when he said I can’t not use my arm for 3 weeks and I looked at him almost crying and reminded him I have a 7 month old!! He goes "well what do you want me to do about it?" https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif Ok anyway getting past my disappointment with the dr….
This guy I saw today was FABULOUS!!!!! Its not a muscle tear….the drs had me freaking out thinking that was the only thing it could be. Everything he said made perfect sense and it confirmed what I had been suspecting! He LISTENED TO ME! It was just injured some how, could have been a move I did, or the fall I took with Henry while caring him in his car seat. My biceps muscle was super tight and pretty much wouldn’t relax, but it seems like the heart of the problem was my forearm. To put it plainly, the muscles at your elbow (pronators) that turn your palm to face up, well they are all crazy tight and mess up. I blame the twisted grip!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_twisted.gif I knew my body didn’t like that move, but neglected to listen to it. He also looked at my old nerve injury and said it seem pretty irritated and I don’t have to live with tingly fingers, it can be fix it just takes a loooong time for nerves to heal themselves, but its not impossible like I had been told by the DRs.
I believe in the power of the human mind and that we have a tremendous ability to help heal what hurts us. So I still shouldn’t use it to pull or lift things, but I can now take an active roll in getting better, and now that I know what muscles are affected, I will be able to teach myself how to prevent this. Sooooo happy!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif
The prescription is…. movement, but easy, light eccentric (negative) movement, ice, massage. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
