Ok, I did my 111 sec today!!! It was very hard though. I’m happy it’s 111 tomorrow too, and not jumping up any more. I had to really tough it out the last 25 sec. I thought I was going to crumble!

Whew today was hard! I had to drop my knees for a second today in the middle of my 111 sec. Im pretty sore from yesterdays flagging and stuff, so that may be part of it.
I also put that I completed the day… I have 2 more opportunities to do 111 sec. if I’m not able to get it I may drop it down to easy. :/

Looks like the xpole us store has pink silicone poles for sale! Just thought I’d share!

It’s a matter of opinion really.
So if I was buying it from a friend/studio mate who I trusted… I’d probably pay 270.
From a random person on CL I’d be expecting a bargain and pay 200.
Now that may sound weird to charge your friend more than a stranger…so maybe ask 270 but realize if it’s on CL you’re going to have to accept lower.
Let me just telling you where I’m coming from…
So a new one is like 330 + 40 for shipping is 370…. I know xpole has super service regardless, but I just feel like if you get a new one and you have any problems they will help you out. If you have trouble on a used one you may need to purchase something…. For me if I knew the person and the pole was almost good as new and I knew the person took care of it and the joints were stripped or stuck etc it would be worth saving 100 for me not to just order a new one.
If I was getting it from a stranger and I had to pick it up somewhere (already a hassle) and I can inspect it, but won’t really know how it spins or whatever until I get home… Then I need to go much lower on my price to feel good making that gamble.
Make sense?

Love it. Your hips face the floor more than mine do. I like it the way you do it, it looks so graceful, but I just couldn’t get mine to go that way.
I have this awful bruise right above my boob. I think I probably need to work on finding a different sweet spot.

Men!

I took and posted one. But I’m going to see if I can get another.

Kate, you just have to make sure to stay engaged in the core. Sometimes I worry so much about being straight or not having my butt up in the air that I let my butt/belly drop or sag. This is really hard on the lower back! So make sure to stay solid through the core!
I had a rest day yesterday. And I have my 91 seconds to do later. Feeling intimidated for sure.

I have the EZ connect v3.0 too…. And while I can’t comment on the quick connect… I can sympathize! My pole is completely stuck together. I know PS does convert the pole connections for a fee, but I think it’s cheaper than a whole new pole… But I suppose to ship it you’d need to get the pole apart.
I’ve never been able to get mind apart. Not even once. I called PS and they gave me tips, but I didn’t have any luck. It was after a long session of poling so my arms were jello. I haven’t tried since. But once I do get them apart I’m going to oil the heck out of them before I put them together again!

Ha. Yeah my 71 seconds today wasn’t fun. And my 91 tomorrow will be even less fun. 🙂
-
Yeah! I wish there was a place to try them all near me!
My next pole will probably be a TG. I’ve used TG and chrome at my studio and my SSA is stainless. The PS stainless is grippier then my chrome, but I heard that’s not true of the xpole stainless… And I def want an Xpert soon.
I’ve never heard anyone disliking TG. I know people have other preferences, but TG seems to be universally acceptable. Some people love brass, others don’t. Also apparently xpole has a powder coated pole on the way. So that could also be cool.
I’ve heard of people ordering a small extension to try out the finish….If you like it you can just order a new Apole and Bpole and switch out the chrome ones you already have. That’s the cheaper option, but then you can’t really sell the old one.
Anyway, yeah, its a big commitment and the choice is pretty personal. It’s so hard!!!

ronibmoses2731, I do mine on my forearms like in the pictures above… except I put my palms on the floor (like the picture on the app) so not in a fist….because I feel more comfortable on my palms, and the weight feels more evenly distributed on my forearms.

Drinking my coffee and trying to wake up enough to do my 71 sec. today.
I don’t think my belly is very interesting right now, but I will post my before and afters when we are all done if there is something to show!
In the mean time… Some inspiration.

I can relate to feeling grounded when you try and freestyle. My freestyles look very repetitive… And include a lot of dip spins and pirouettes. :/
-
Yup! My 1st video is one of a pole sit… And it was a struggle. Looking back at it reminds me how far I’ve come!
So far all my videos are just clips of tricks. Mostly just “firsts”. I have yet to post a freestyle. Mainly because my pole time is limited and I usually have a list of things I want to work on… And barely get through that.
I need to challenge myself to just dance. My pole room inside is small and my pole is static only (this will be changing soon I hope). So I never really just dance.
Anyway, point is… You don’t have to freestyle to post a clip. 🙂
