When you start a post with “The girls who are saying they shouldn’t be ashamed of their bodies are wrong.” you can’t be shocked when people are offended. That statement is inflammatory. Perhaps you should choose your words better if you don’t want to be perceived as a troll.

Dear Claire (ThePoleStory),
I f&$@ing LOVE you. That is all 🙂 -
That depends on your price range and what you are looking for in a camera. I ended up buying a regular camera with video capabilities because the lense was so much better than on a video camera of comparable price. I paid 200$ish for my camera 3(?) years ago and I’ve been really happy with it. I would suggest going somewhere that has a good return policy and trying a few out *in your space*(

Try stretching between sets too. Just a quick light 30 second stretch of whatever muscle you were just training. It works great and you will be amazed at how flexy things are right after you’ve worked them. It’s sort of the same principle as PNF.

Problem solved! Thanks Webmaster!

Where is the phone number for this company? Can I talk to a human being about my purchase? Do they have a warranty? What about all of the bad reviews (and even some if the good) that say the pole is bowed?
It seems to me (from reading the reviews) that this would be a GOOD “grind pole” and if you’re lucky it might do for some basic tricks. But I wouldn’t trust it with my life. Save up an extra 100$ and get a basic X-pole/lil Mynx/PS pole. -
As far as I know the beam doesn’t have to be a certain size. You should be able to determine the width of your beam with a stud finder. Pass your stud finder over your ceiling and mark where it starts beeping and where it stops, that will be the width of your beam.

R pole is another good one in the UK. And I think Pussycat sells their poles in the UK. Those are both trusted poles with good reputations. They might be quite a bit more expensive than Xpole or Platinum Stages though (I don’t think you can get Lil Mynx in Ireland).
-
Permanent platinum stages poles start at 150$. You might also be able to get a 10% discount for being a member of SV and if not they usually have sales around all major holidays. If you want a removable multi piece that wont kill you you are going to have to pay more though.
-
I’ve had my PS multi piece for 2+ years now and I have never gotten paint in my eye. The top is chipping a bit around where it connects to the pole, but it’s nothing major. I would post a pic for you but I have no idea how.

I initially had trouble with the hold as well. I found it really helpful to open up my body before taking my foot off. That seemed to lessen the “push” of my thigh against my hand. I’ve also seen a few people flip their hand position so instead of thumbs up it’s thumb down and “cupping” the pole instead of “grabbing” it (if that makes any sense) it seems like it would be a more secure hold especially for someone with “larger” thighs.

@CalBear you can get full finger gloves from mighty grip now. They take a few sessions to break in, but after that the “flexibility” of the gloves improves.
-
Try Tite Grip first, it’s an antiperspirant it works great for sweaty hands. If that dosent work try the gloves, they will probably come in handy in the future anyway. If you want a more permanent solution you can try DrySol. It’s an antiperspirant that you apply twice a week. I found mine at Superstore (Loblaws) for 12$ I think. It’s worth a shot if you don’t mind sleeping with gloves on.

@ Lyme Lyte, I just checked out your floor and it looks awesome! I was advised against OSB for flooring, what did you use to keep it from disintegrating under your heels?

I JUST did this 2 days ago. I cut a hole in the middle of the seam between the 2 boards and “sandwiched” my pole inside. As for connecting the boards, I just stuck them together (they were toung and groove) duct taped at a few spots and ran electrical tape along the length of the seam. Then I covered the whole thing in vinyl tile. It’s pretty awesome if I do say so myself. It cost 140$ total. I hope that helps.
