I've seen Maneula do that one. It looks like you can just practice it from the ground by gradually take your assiting arm away from the pole from chair.

Oh, you're the artist! My pole dance instructor showed me your superman comic my first day of pole class! But I figured it was just a one time thing, not a fully-developed comic series. I'm so glad you decided to continue with it, I read through all of them tonight and they are so great and true and it's just really nice to have it put into a visualization. Gamer's have their memes and athlete's have theirs. It's nice for an artist to put it into perspective for people who might not poledance. 😀 Thank you so much for sharing your awesome work and I'm definitely subscribing for more amazing truths in the future.

I might be a little bit behind the curve here, but last I heard xpole was not shipping brass to the USA? Or did that change recently?

MemberOctober 7, 2012 at 5:55 pm in reply to: Stuck in a rut and struggling to master any new moves (long)I can't do kneehold…I've been trying to get an exact Gemini climb on both side because you can get a lot of strength and pre-bruising to help deal with the pain from the climb..but I just get into cupid and feel like I'm going to fall on my face. Also, my feet sweat on the bottom |: Not good for cupid or special k.
I've been trying recently to do Aysha as well, and I did it twice on brass, and can't get comfortable on chrome. My bottom hand slides so much upsidedown, and even when my hands are stuck to the pole, I can't find balance. So I switched to trying to master elbowstand and headstand thinking that maybe if I get used to my feet being above my head, I will be able to balance easier in Aysha since it's almost like a headstand?
I'm also always thinking about how to make NEW moves/variations from other moves. Like the other day, since cross knee release is easy to me, I was thinking of ways that I could maybe curl my body around to make it like half CKR half closed leg hang. Flexibility is needed, but it's a goal I can achieve and something I haven't seen anyone else do, which for me is motivation enough :3

I think I will try this next week. My friend is giving me her foam roller. I feel like I will be inclined to stretch with a shiney new toy to further relax my muscles.

AHAHAHA! oh my gosh, nerd moment, but from my potato phone I thought you posted two threads at the same time about EGA because my screen is small and crappy and your picture and katana’s look very similar if I’m not paying attention/being a nerd.
Just wanted to share my goofism. :p
Anyway. I personally like straight edge to gemini to jade. Or aysha to superinvert/shoulder mount. You can do elbow grip asha to elbowgrip sm if you train yourself for that grip, and it’s very fitting for some performance pieces.

holy lake carp, batman. That oversplit. I don’t even. How to words? Gosh, I felt amazing for getting a slight oversplit on my left side and now I feel bad.
Especially because a dog can do middlesplits (but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was photoshopped or fake dog.)

I love my nuvaring. It's comfortable, and I always forget mine is there. My inner lady parts are oddly shaped though. My cervix is much closer to the surface than most women, but since it's made to contract poses no issues during sex. If you have shallow lady parts, just fold it twice (the same way you would with a windshield visor) and you're good to go :3
Twice a month is a heck of a lot easier than every day. I pair my nuvaring with an app on my phone called Ovuview that reminds me when I should have my period. When it says close to 15 days I start reminding myself every day that I have to take it out on Saturday. The best part is, you can safely skip your period three times if you'd like, pushing your annual menstration count to 4! FOUR PERIODS A YEAR. THAT'S ONE BOX OF TAMPONS~! I've been doing that for the past three years and have no complaints. If you want to have your period once a month (I did that my first year on nuvaring) you can still use a diva cup or a tampon while you have your nuvaring installed. Although I will mention after I took a two month break, when I came back I had some seriously weird stomach ache symptoms. In the morning when I woke up I had serious unpleasent waterworks in the backdoor. It went away after two weeks, and only happened when I woke up. But, strange because it didn't happen the first time I tried nuvaring, or after my first break. Bodies are weird, yo.

Haha, thanks! I didn't know anyone had watched the video submissions yet, but it's good to know that people here are interested enough to watch submissions. With these sort of things, if I'm not participating I usually will only watch winners and runner's up. But since I'm actually taking the initiative, I've tried to watch all the highlights so far. I've only had time to watch AdAstra's and HyperHorseGirls, but I'm more or less enjoying everyone's support. It feels like the strings of the net that make SV are tightening :3
ANYWAY. On topic;
I'll definitely give it a try. Tendinits is a biatch to deal with. I've been trying to strengthen my forearms so I don't get it in my left elbow again, but I don't think I'm doing it right. I haven't SEEN any progress in anything but definition. Basically, it's been like I trade in my 20 year old care for a 6 year old car with new paint and shiney chrome detailing–but in all reality, it's the same car on the inside, just with a different outside. I don't feel like moves are any easier or that there is less strain on my elbow–more or less, the only thing I've noticed that I might be able to count as progress is, when I do anything with elbow extension (we'll say, princess grip shoulder mount) if it feels like there's over stretching of the tendons or the muscles aren't pulling their weight, I'm not in immediate pain and doomed to message my elbow day in day out for the next week. I took some time off of work and am allowed to go back next week, but I'm still afraid of my muscles not catching up to where I am skill wise :/I'm assuming then, that actupuncture helps circulate blood flow in a specific area? And that's why you feel less pain? More blood flow = faster healing is what I've always been told.

I hate to necro a thread, but how did this go for you? I have a friend who just offered me their services half off but don’t want to spend the money because every medical professional I know basically rolls their eyes at accupuncture.
I have tendinitis in my elbow, and I know it takes an average of 4-6 months to completely recover, but maybe if it worked for you it will work for me too?

haha, Lyme. "I can't wait until I get my period again."
Never heard that one before.

there were great suggestions earlier in September/end of August. I’m sure Veena will find something great for us to challenge ourselves in and I’m excited to see what it is as well. My studio opens back up on 8th of this month and I can’t wait to stop recording in my ghetto garage. Maybe my first completed challenge?
