I have a chrome X-pole at the moment that I love love love but have been wanting to switch to a 45mm, and was thinking since im going to be changing that I might as well give the Titanium a go.
My question, if anyone knows or if Veena or Webmaster could let me know… if the Titanium Xpole offered thru THIS site is the Gold? I’m guessing it is since a previous post here said titanium silver isnt offered in the US.. but just wanted to make SURE before ordering cause the Titanium Gold is the one I want. Thanks in advance https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Its hurting your shoulder?
I know when I attempt the move it is semi painful on the inner arm since basically all your body weight has to be suspended in the air by just that patch of skin. But like everything else, it gets less intense as you keep practicing. It also helps to have some skin showing on your side where the pole is hitting (i recommend practicing this in a bra of some sort) to help grip a bit there as well.
But if its hurting your actual shoulder muscles I would recommend doing some exercises to strengthen your shoulders (Veena has a vid of some on her profile) or it could be flexibilty in wrapping your arm around the pole like that… make sure you stretch out that area before attempting.
*shrug* I’m still learning the Teddy and can only stick it about 50% of the time but hope that helps!! Hopefully other people can give you any additional tips? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

LOL I could only imagine! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

Oh me oh my. Im so guilty of some of these https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif
My annoyances:
-Climbing with soles & your not doing chinese pole. I really dont see this very often, and dont see why people would do it as I find it awkward feeling. Yes it may hurt less when learning but NO PAIN NO GAIN!
-People doing moves they are REALLY not ready for. I used to do this a lot until I got hurt and had to take a complete break from my pole for almost a month to heal up. So now I cant stress enough how important it is to WAIT until your strength is where it needs to be! Doing it properly not only saves you from hurting yourself but it looks SO much prettier.
My annoyances about myself:
-Wiping my hands on my butt or wiping the pole with my hands before I go into a move. Lately its been really hot so my pole gets major slippage but Im finding that sometimes I do it out of reflex and I need to get OUT of that. Im wiping when its not necessary. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumbdown.gif
-Not walking around the pole on the balls of my feet. Flat feet is NOT cute especially when you are very short, like myself. (Thats why I just prefer to dance in heels) https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif
-Brain farts! I end up walking around the pole aimlessly cause Im thinking of what to do and what NOT to do cause Im still working on it and it may look funny. And I always do my vids uncut (Im BAD with editing) so I get nervous Im gonna blooper it all up & have to retake the vid a million times. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumbdown.gif

Are you a PC or Mac user?
I’m a PC user with Vista loaded.That was actually directed @ Kamilla, hehe https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif
But most people on PC use Windows Movie Maker… I myself am I Mac user and use iMovie. So whichever kind of comp you have, one of those should work.
Hope that helps! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Okay, so I FINALLY shot the video for the MJ July challenge… but im not posting it yet! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_tongue.gif
Haha, no but I dont like the finished product. I shot 2 vids, both uncut as always but I was slipping and sliding all over the place! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_mad.gif Its been 110 @$$hole degrees here for the past week and every time I even THINK about moving I break out in a sweat! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumbdown.gif
Sweat + Pole + hellish heat = lots of falling, half done moves, and one very tired VioletSooooo I’m gonna try again tomorrow and see if I can come up with anything better. *shrug*
If not oh well! I’ll post one of them here tomorrow https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gifEDIT::::: posted https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

lol, i did too when i first went there! There are 2 small links at the bottom blended with the text on the main page. One is for pole moves & the other is for pole spins. Unfortunately a lot of the links dont have pics or working video yet https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumbdown.gif

So happy to see this post! Unfortunately I am one of the ones that did it wrong for too long and ended up injuring my back in the process. BOOOOO https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumbdown.gif
So now that my back is feeling better (after 3 weeks of PAIN) no more inverting for me until I can get my core strength better. It sucks not going up to the Gemini, Scorpio, etc…. cause i LOVE those moves. But my ab strength just isnt ready yet and I HAVE to accept that and work on that so that I can do it properly (not using my legs to help pull me up).
I’ll definitely be doing those exercises recommended, along with my already daily dose of crunches & sit ups. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

OOooooo yay for Wiki! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Haha! I did some outdoor pole stuff @ the local park on the 4th of july. My back was messed up but i couldnt pass up the opportunity to Wrist Sit & do an Archer on the Disabled Parking sign!!! Unfortunately the only playground pole they had was about as wide as my thumb so was VERY awkward to do moves on.
I really wanna go back and take some pics tho! I will be sure to post some when i do. I wish I would have had a camera with me on the 4th…. boooo i didnt.
Now I wanna go on a park pole scavenger hunt and scope out all the parks in the area, LOL https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif -
I just came across her vids like a month ago. She is FANTASTIC!!!! Wish she had more vids
On this vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjzECBiOKk4 the move (dont know what its called) at 3:20 is so amazing. I rewatched it like 50 times when i saw it! -
This is a great idea for a challenge! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif I love floor work! Its so fun. It would be really cool to see what everyone can do, get ideas, and whatnot. I would definitely be game https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

I know you posted this a few weeks back but just in case you are wondering…
I ordered my pole from them way back when and yes they are legitmate. I had no problems with them whatsoever and the shipping was very speedy. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumleft.gif
They do sell the actual product, its not fake. But if you are still concerned you can always buy from xpole.co.uk (the official site) or of course from here!OOps! Sorry I didnt go to the second page https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_tongue.gif

If slippage is the problem, when my pole gets really slippy I firstly clean it with Rubbing Alcohol and then wipe it down with a towel afterwards, and also you can (I have the rubbing alcohol towelettes) rub a bit on your inner thighs and then wipe it off with a towel. It helps immensely.
When youre sitting make sure your gripping tight with your thighs, get your "bits" as close the pole as you comfortably can, and it also helps to grip the pole with your bottom legs foot (when your cross legged sitting) so that the front of your ankle is on the back of the pole.Good luck! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
