I found them on youtube but after watching veena’s I realized they are the same. If you have access to her lessons, it the wrist strengthening ones. I started with a 10lb free weight but was up to a 20 at one point. However, I feel like the grippers have worked way faster for me and just stretching my wrist like 3 times a day. I have an adjustable gripper. I got it here in England. It starts at 10kg which I think is about 15 lbs. anything that works forearm isolation. That might be a search to use on Google or youtube.

Have you tried strengthen training exercises? Either with a free weight in each hand or hand grippers like body builders use. Also, stretch, stretch , stretch the wrist. I just got some grippers myself and stretch a lot more. I’m working in handstands and stuff and wanna strength my wrist and my grip for pole.

Also, pistols are good. Can you get your butt to your heels and back up with no wall or pole assistance?

Have you tried plyometric leg exercises? Power squats are squats you jump up from and theni land back into a squat. Try to get your butt as close to your heels as possible and make sure to sit back with the weight on your heels. Or jump switch lunges. Jumping and switching in mid air and back down into a lunge. How about “box” jumping? If you have something stable to jump up onto of course. Like if you have some step aerobic things that lock together or a sturdy park bench nearby. Jump up to 5 feet if you can and then back down! Or kneeling on all fours and kicking one leg at a time back to target the glutes. You tube has loads of exercises. There are also pulsing deep squats and lunges. Don’t for get lateral or side to side lunges. Also, holding standing yoga poses like warrior 1 and 2 are good. 🙂

I started doing T25 a while ago and within like 1 week I noticed ridiculous core strength improvement. Every thing helps everything else. It also gives your body a chance to rest when you just focus one muscle group as opposed to the overall training that pole gives!

Well, my arms and shoulders and back are beast from pole and i’m loving all the upper body strength that I have gained. My core is stronger, but not showing any abs cause I need to loose some more fat. My thighs didn’t really get defined from pole but they have from loads of squats. but the shoulders and back have really toned out for me.

They called her an acrobat on the BBC, but I can only imagine what American news will say…

I don't have implants but I have 32f breast. My boobs don't really get in the way of poling, but it does stop me from wearing cute tops cause they don't hold them selves up. Lol I just wear a full coverage sports bra and a colored crop top over it.

Thanx a bunch, Krysten! His parents came round and fixed the creaking. Lol
-
Thanx. I thnk it's the ceiling that's creaking. I don't think the pole slips when in spin but it hard to tell when on it. I'll have my boyfriend's dad look at it.

is this kind of like the western flag? I think I have a pic of me working n it in my profile. Can't figure out how to add a pic here from my iPad. But I have quite large boobs. Actually doesnt hurt them at all. Lol maybe I use them as cushion.
-
Thanx for the tips! I don't have a preferred way yet, but I'll try the Gemini and then slide down a bit to see where my sweet soot is. Will also try so grip on my foot. Ha

Thanx, ladies! Amy's tip rally help me get some momentum and I also found my top forearm was slowing me down if I didn't spin properly. I will try waiting to grab the back and I like what the girl on pole dance dictionary did with her legs too. Mine always do this weird thing. Lol

O yes, I can do a 1 handed chair spin as well. 🙂

Thanx, a bunch chem! Will check it out now. Pole practice time is near! 🙂
