Veena, you genius! I’ve been having so much trouble building grip strength for chair/reverse grip spins because my hands do not like chrome! I will try the gloves!

Cross knee release was the first pole "trick" that I learned. But supposed Pike is supposed to come first? I always get this horrible bruise behind my leg in pike. But one day I was at work and I did pike twice in a row with no issue. Advanced plank, fine. |: Then it goes away for weeks at a time.

Depends on what you did. Consult a medical professional first. I ripped my rotator cuff because I wasn’t ready for inverts. When you know what’s wrong, only then can you start recovery. In your downtime work only on abs, and when you feel you’re ready to try inverting again, wait an extra 2 weeks and do should strength training. I haven’t had any shoulder pain since my core/shoulder training.

It’s just the top of my foot that bruises. My instructor after 4 years of pole still gets bruised there as well. The rip is on the top tack, mid shin, where I rarely have contact.

someone else suggested tape, but it looks like it takes forever to get on/off

Given that I pole anywhere between 3-5 times a week (and also am employeed as a dancer) I decided to try mighty grips socks to see if it would help prevent bruising on my dominant climbing foot. I noticed yesterday at practice that the top vinyl tack had ripped after only 3 uses? It’s been much longer than a month, so I don’t think returning them is feesable. But is that normal? My instructor wears socks on both of her feet and has had them for a while, no rips. Is she the lucky one, or am I the unlucky one?

It’s very possible that there’s a fear factor. I can only walk around the pole clockwise, I can only pirrouette clockwise. I tried doing a roxy spin with my left elbow instead of the right….the bruise I got on my hip…It was scary looking to say the least. But I’m afraid of my left side because I’m afraid of messing up. Wasn’t one of the featured blogs something like, “half of pole in physical strength, and the other half is getting over fear?” I’m sure if you have the proper adrenline rush or inspiration boost, you’ll do it just fine 🙂

I read that about the flip on a few amazon reviews. What other camera(s) were you looking into?
-
What’s it called? And what should I be looking for in a recording camera?

Yay, thank you! See your studio Sunday ^_^

I thought pole con was in LA, not SF?

You know one trick I never see ANYONE do in competitions or personal videos? The dove drop. I would post a clip but I’m at work.
