  TG air lifts hints and tips

  Posted by mizzli on February 10, 2013 at 6:13 pm

  Hi fellow polers!

  I am trying to get my twisted grip air lift (i’ve conquered the one from the floor now) but not having much luck with it.

  Does anyone have any advice or tips on preparing for it?

  Also no matter what i do, warm up, heat the room up, clean the pole my legs can never grip my x pole- so frustrating! I bought some liquid chalk but then realised it made the problem worse as my skin is dry anyway! Any tips on that?

  Hi hml888, The TG lift is a professional level pole move. You might want to take a look at this blog before continuing to work on the TG lift. It may help put the trouble you're having with this move into perspective. Be kind to your body and live to pole another day. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gifhttps://www.studioveena.com/blogs/view/5105b901-76b4-43c4-abf9-01a50ac37250

  I have super dry skin in the winter and I just started using – and now I swear by it! Have you tried it? I have a chrome pole, so I know those can be more slippery than others.

  Hi Veena and Storypole,

  Thanks for the advice.

  I read somewhere that shaving gel helps and since I already had some sitting around, I tried it out and found it helped with the stickiness! Will try it out a few more times to see. xxx

  If you have dry skin that’s your problem! Try a pole-safe lotion 🙂 these are just a few…
