Plateau’s

Absolutely! I have had the horrible thought of selling my pole but then I'll see a positive comment from KiKi or any Veener and it stops me from following that line of thought. It definitely seems like some people's bodies are just made to do well with pole. If I can keep on trucking and nail me some moves that will have to be good enough.
I second Chem, add something you can feel more accomplished with. One thing that helps me a lot is working on flexy since I progress better with that than strength (or even coordination lol!). This thread is helpful too–I've been working at pole since September and I've been working at getting my first tricks back (crucifix, pole sit, basic spins). Here I am all "I've got my crucifix back" and others can do that at day one. If not for SV I would think it's hopeless and I better quit!

I’m new at this, and I’m terribly weak still. I saw something on here, and I don’t remember where, but it was “Focus on what you can do, instead of what you can’t.”
When I would see other girls in class doing perfect simple spins and pole sits, when I would sink like a rock each time, I really got down on myself. I would remember that saying and realize I was really good at other things like floor work! I ended up knocking it out of the park at the end of our 4 week beginner’s series. (Even if I did trip on my shoes twice due to nerves!)

I totally understand. I’m in a rut because I can’t get to class enough to learn/ practice, and I have no pole at home. It’s like very time i go in, I’m back at square one strength wise
