Well at least he has a head start when he needs material for his "Worst articles of all time" feature.

Is your husband moisturizing his legs enough? One of my guy friends can grip the pole pretty well without needing to wax or shave. For myself even with waxed legs if my skin is dry I'll slide off of the pole.

From what I understand it's beneficial start stretching for your oversplits before getting a flat or square split. I think there are some people here that used over split training to help get to the ground when they were a few inches away from getting their splits.

I started the lessons here at intermediate and went up to advanced without classes. For moves that made me feel nervous I used Itac and cushions.

I never had problems with, or tried a reverse V but read a long time ago in this thread that it could cause injury and suggests an alternative tip:

Your welcome Pole walker and Pole fit 🙂 I wish it was more clear but my connection wasn't that great since I'm not an Aussie.
Even though I knew Cleo was going to win I still felt stressed for her! and sooo bad for Lou!

@Ly I'm gonna have to email to find out. I'll update when I know more 🙂

@Ly, Yes let me know if you end up wanting to go in June/July
Here is the link to the Corp. Housing 11059 McCormick Street, North Hollywood, Los Angeles, California 91601

Google Maps says it's 1 minute away!
I still will look into other living options around (if any) but at least it's a start 🙂

Oh wait not Chandler, it's on McCormick

I understand that everybody is being safe by advising to take it slow but I personally believe as Miss mentioned that it's about strength as an individual as far as where you should start is concerened. I have a friend who could care less about pole dancing and has never taken a lesson but is able to climb to the top of a pole just while goofing around. She can do spins and all these crazy things.
Another thing, and I don't want to sound sexist but… if Scotty is a male, at my studio we've seen men invert by the second or third class. Everyone is different.
@Scotty I'd suggest testing the waters before diving in:
MissDirdyBirdy on youtube has some invert prep exercises for beginners. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrQ0RaBNxc8
I also subscribe to the lessons here. They are in order of what you should learn first so they'd probably be a good way to gauge what level you are at strengthwise and what you are or aren't ready for.

@ Ly,
Yes I'd like to go to L.A and immerse myself in pole. It's something I've wanted to
do for a looong time and I finally have a chance coming up!
@Thelil I'm hoping to stay for a month. Thanks for the info.
@Kelly I'm not planning to visit until June/July but I wanted to start looking
into everything beforehand so I can have all the arrangements made when the time comes.
I've already found a corporate furnished monthly rental on Chandler Blvd that looks like it might be an option. I will email you for more details since I do have a few more general q's.
Thank you ladies for your responses 🙂

I do it from a figure head. After I started shoulder mounting from a pirouette with no kicking in my practise routines I was strong enough to do it.

I love this performance:

If you take lessons at a studio they'll most likely guide you along. If you are learning at home this site has conditioning lessons. Even if I was at a studio I'd still find these lessons valuable. I would also suggest to start stretching regularly so when you get into certain advanced moves you are ready for them.
