New steel is the WORST! It’s sooo frustrating when you can’t do the tricks at home that you can do at the studio.
I find that iTac with a little tite grip on top works best on my steel PS.
Also remember that steel gets better with use. We have steel Mynx poles at the studio I go to and they are the grippiest poles I have ever come across. -
No, I was certainly NOT able to do the splits when I started poling. I would strongly suggest you try yoga. Also you could try the “splits in 6 weeks” program… BUT poling requires alot more than just lower body flexibility and yoga is the best way I know of to stretch everything out.
Also flexibility does not discriminate. Anyone, anysize, anywhere can become as flexible as they want to be, it just takes some time… And ALOT of patience. -
Hey from SK. Anyone else from the prairies?

P.S. This grip combo actually works best in cold, dry conditions.

iTac + Tite Grip= Sticky like you would not believe. I have a steel PS pole and I tried EVERYTHING to make it useable, nothing worked. I was sooo frustrated then someone inmy pole class suggested iTac with a layer of Tite Grip on top… Magic!
Seriously, try it before you try anything extreme like sandpaper. -
Sorry I meant 0.0467$

There are 7 grams of protein per 1/4 C of liquid egg whites which is roughly 2 large egg whites. So 4 per 1/2 C. It costs me 1.25$ for a 500ml carton (1.25$/56g=0.0223 per gram of protein) and it costs 35$ for a 900g tub of plain protein (35$/750g=0.467$ per gram of protein)

I use egg whites in my smooties. Egg whites and egg substitutes that come in cartons have been pasteurized so they are safe to consume raw. No extra calories, sugars or additives in the whites just pure protein. Plus they workout to cost less than half of what powders cost.
Try this:
1/2 C Egg Whites
1/2 C Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
1/2 C Frozen Blueberries
1/2 of a Frozen Banana
And a pinch of Cinnamon
I like to add Matcha to mine too but that is just me being weird.
180 cals, 15g protein and 2 of your 5 a day. -
I have carpet (big fluffy shag) at home and I LOVE practicing in shoes. I use shoes with NO grip on the carpet and shoes WITH grip on hardwood at the studio. It seems to balance out. So maybe all you need to do is buy more shoes? 🙂

Give yourself rest days for stretching. Just like strengthening, your body needs time to recover from lengthening stretches. You will get farther in your flexibility (faster) if you allow your body to recover. Also get massages. If you are working on the splits have your hamstrings “stripped” It will help, trust me.
P.S. You can only be as flexible as you are strong. Do NOT forget to strengthen the muscle groups you are trying lengthen.
