    Thanks for the advice. Actually, is there such thing as body not build for certain trick? When using TG I feel that although I have all the strength I just can’t use it in the TG position. I can barely lift my body. But once I am up, I found it secure and strong . Is this to do withy core strength , or my angle when I twist?

    Thanks again everyone for the encouragement. I decided to participate my first competion in June with a brand new routine and brand new confidence! Pole is like life, most of the time things do not go with the way as planned, but it won’t stop me from experiencing and exploring!

    Angel my couch is very low and also have a soft back. So even with my short legs they are way above the top when I lie down on my back. My partner is so particular with the house I will be in so much trouble if I put my feet on it. 😀

    I have bought the DVD back in December and been practicing once a week for about two months. In the second session I was able to get down to right front split. Still a bit to go on the left side. The stretch is very intense . I was so sore the next day and found it difficult to have flexibility training more than twice a week. The middle split part is not that relevant to me as I don’t want to dirty my wall. I do Veena ‘s lesson instead and it works well.

    Tinkerpole, I used to have the same problem when I first learnt superman to shoulder mount. Later on I realized that it’s not due to my physical build. It’s because I was griping too tight between my thighs in superman as I was too afraid I will drop. As a result I was not able to drop my bottom and get into an angle which I can comfortably get into shoulder mount. Maybe try not to squeeze too tight next time and see how it goes?

    I do flexibility training, and core strength training weekly on top of poling. They are two areas I am mostly struggling with

    Mine took at least one year to heal, however it became an issue when I started pole. One day it unscrewed itself and came undone. After that I decided to retire the piercing. It’s just too much maintanance.

    Agree with whatcrystal2011 rose memtioned. I was thinking did you eat well, rest well lately? Are you under pressure lately? Does your diet support and compliment your training ? How long have you been feeling getting “weaker” than previously? Our body is “moody” sometimes, it could be one of those bad days your body chose not to perform. Don’t lose your confidence on pole, enjoy it, it will come back and grow!

    When you said you are weaker could you specify an example? Many times we think we are too weak to do certain trick is not because we don’t have the strength , it’s because we haven’t figured out the easy way to do it . just like the best fighter might not be the strongest fighter.
