hey, I'm sorry you get so nervous. :-/ the thing that keeps me focused is not wanting to injure myself. But as far a sweaty palms go, I've jus started using liquid chalk on my hands and body and my once slipper pole is like an old well used one. Lol. Try liquid chalk. They have some marketed for polers but it's jus the stuff rock climbers use. Good luck! 🙂

Thanx, webmaster!

Hello! Purple is my fav color and I always have grip issues! Does the pole come with a carrying case? Do you ship to the UK?

Chemgoddess, I’ve always had broad shoulders and now my arms and bulking up and my back. I have 32 f/ff(US size g/h) breast and the dress was already tight…but I took a deep breath and the zipper popped open in th middle. I was just about to go sing. Tried to get so of the guys n the band to unzip it and it was stuck…there was no way I was pulling it over my head so I had t go back to my cabin and shimmy out of it. Zipper still wouldn’t budge. :0

Have you thought about coming down into an elbow bridge and then straighten yourself out buy bringing your back to the ground? Or maybe back the way you came onto your knees with a hair flip? Or maybe do the headstand with your back to the pole and then grip your legs on the pole like a Cross Ankle Release and then lift yourself up to the pole and take it from there? Ha hope the make sense.

Lina, I tried to roll back on my thighs while in bow pose and only got to my hips. Any suggestions?

Don’t know how to post pics from the iPad to the thread, but I’ve just put up pics of my most recent back bending session on my profile page. 🙂

I can do wheel and bridge and something they call crazy crab at my studio but anything more and I’m still working on it. Ha. My goals are king pigeon, one legged pigeon, and king dancer. And then Allegra. Ha I’m almost 30 and not flexible really. Well, more than the average person but that’s come with work. Make sure you are warmed up. I’m at work now on board a ship so I will do cardio for about 30 min before back bending and split training.

Well, entertainers don't work 12 hour shift. No more than 4 or 5 a day but mostly like no more that 3. Singers less than the rest of the band. I am looking to settle down somewhere, but haven't figured out what I can do on land yet. At the moment I am splitting time between England with my boyfriend, ships, adn my mom's in New Jersey. But my pole is in England. My new plan is to save a set amount of money and then decided what to do in like a year and a half, but permanent pole time is a definite motivator. While on board the ship, I do cardio, yoga arm balances, yoga inversions, ab and toe pointing work, and split and back flexibility prep and such. And the dream about pole. lol

Tigerlillies, it’s not so fun after a while. Been doin this for 6 yrs almost. Lol. You end up living out of a suitcase and dreaming about pole combos you can’t try out for months. Ha

I am a singer on a cruise ship and after finding pole last year am absolutely missing it. Still trying to figure out what my next career move is but I don’t really know where I will live. Currently spending my off time in England with my boyfriend or New Jersey with my mom.

I can’t open the links either Lina. Although I’m not sure I understand what you guys mean by forward back bending.

Yah. I’m 32 ff for the shock absorber cause it runs small but I also got th figleaves name brand in a 32 f and it works just as well. Well, those are the uk sizes. I think it’s a 32 ddd/e in the us but the site may have the sizes in the UK size.
