Is it just me, or does it look taller than most other stage poles? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif I’m no expert but it looks really tall to me… Veena, you saw it in real life, am I imagining things???
To be honest that’s the first video I’ve seen with Jamilla https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_silent.gif I think I may need to do some major YouTube-ing and get with the program here!
Your not imagining things….it IS taller than any other stage pole I know of. I think the actual pole, stage not included, is 8 0r 9 ft tall and it has spinny mode! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif -
Sound like an X pole would work great then https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif On size isn’t better than another. My 45 is easier on my wrist, but 50 is the standard size in the US right now. If you like what you use in the studio then go with that size…changes are they have 50mm (2in) poles. If you want to try something new then get the 45. Keep in mind that is its no problem to switch from larger to smaller but really frustrating to go from small to larger diameter. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Yes its normal to be extremely sore!! To help with sore muscles be sure to stretch after your work out, drink a lot of water, and don’t work the same muscle groups in a row. A bath in epsom salts will feel good too. You really can’t do anything to avoid becoming sore, its just part of your body dusting to the new stress placed on it.
With that being said, when your new to pole dance, don’t work on spins or inverts every day! Spins/inverts require you to use your whole upper body, so if you did a strength training work out the day before, you don’t want to do spins the next day, unless you only trained your lower body the day before. Once you become more advanced you can, train more often, but as a beginner you will put yourself at risk for over use injury, if you don’t take a day for recovery. If you want to do some type of pole dancing every day (cuz I know its so darn addictive) try this. Do your strength moves like you have been, which should not be daily, but, every other day! Then at the end of your strength training, add your spins practice. Rest the next day, or you could work on transitions, stretching, or just dance around the pole. One more thing, make sure when your working on your spins, your keeping your shoulders back and down, your shoulders will thank you for it. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif I have a lesson called pole walking, this will give you the proper technique for getting momentum out of your spins and teach you how to engage your shoulders. Remember the lessons are on static, don’t try that technique on spinny…..you’ll fly out the window. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif -
Are the metal beams exposed, and how wide are they if they are? You said you used a removable pole before, and it worked fine with the beams? Do you know what brand it was?
There is no screws to attach the X pole, it works the same as the one you rented, tension. So if you were happy with that then you’ll love the X pole too. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif If you like brass I would go with the TG X pole. I don’t think its hard to put up, but that’s just my opinion. I had to take mine down and put it back up a lot in my old home, by myself…we were selling the house. As for shipping time, it really depends, if the pole you order is in stock, and you don’t order on a week end, it can be a few days. It really depends on time of odder and supply. I can’t promise any specific time. We place your order, the same day we receive them. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

I have a pair of harbinger gloves, for weight training. They are a few years old and worn down, but I tried them on pole a few times. They worked ok, didn’t give me super grip or anything, my hands alone, griped better, but they weren’t impossible to use. You could use them to help with sweaty hand and calluses trouble. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Hmmm, I don’t know https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif Yes, coke is very acidic, and once I heard they used it to clean up blood stains on concrete. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif but I don’t know? It might be awful for the finish on a pole!! I would think it would make the pole sticky, but would you end up getting sticky too? Hmmm I don’t know https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif

Increasing your flexibility can take time. There are a few things that affect flexibility, genetics, (structure of the joint) connective tissue elasticity within muscles, tendons or skin surrounding a joint, also strength of the opposing muscle groups. Here are some quick tips for stretching:
static stretching is safest and most effective. That means no bouncing, https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif Breath, your body needs oxygen, long slow breaths into the stretch. Never stretch a cold muscle, you put yourself at risk for injury and you wont get a good deep stretch that will cause noticeable change. I stretch every day BUT I do my longest most intense, lower body stretching on the days I train legs, so I"m really warm. One more thing be sure to take your time to hold the stretch, a few seconds, will not be enough to cause noticeable change. Give yourself time. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Sometimes the little buggers get stuck, its nothing to worry about, you can still put your pole up. You don’t HAVE to put the cover on, its just cosmetic. I have had this happen with mine before, sometimes it will pop back out if you give it a sharp tap with something. If you really want a new one you can call X pole and they will send you one. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif I got my pole from my sister’s house today and brought it home. But there’s a problem. One of the two little sprung pins on the cover flange is stuck inside the cover flange. Does anyone know a way to get the little pin to come out? I can’t fully put my xpole together without getting it to come out. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif

I’m technologically challenged so…. how do I do this link???
Cut and paste is what I think its called? Go to your video do a control C to "copy" on the browser thinging, the long bar where you type in an address, then come back here and hit control V. It should appear. I hope https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif -
I missed this post! Sound like fun…let us know when you find out the results! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Oh don’t worry, we all feel clumsy and hopeless when starting out. I use to look at videos and think "how in the world do they do that!" https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif It gets better!

I like alcohol or windex (if your not allergic). You only need to clean it with soap and water on occasion if you start to notice build up. I like to rotate my cleaning, I use windex the most, but if I start to notice build up, or I’m just not sticking, then I switch to alcohol or vodka for a few days then go back to windex.

Oh, I would sure love for this pole to be as good as it sounds!! Can’t wait to hear from some testers. Has anyone heard how tall the pole is, I didn’t see anything about hight, but I might have missed it. I know the testers they have on videos using the pole are pretty little. It would be so fun to have a pole I could take with me anywhere. I really hope it will live up to all it claims!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
