I'm so sorry, that is such a hard thing to have to go through. My husband recently lost his two childhood dogs within 6 months of each other. It was really rough for him. He's only 2 years older than your daughter. *hug* I'll say a little prayer for Toby and your family <3

I love my hula hoop, if theres no pole, theres a hoop.

Go you for keeping on, even during highly demotivating circumstances. I definitely feel the "spinning wheels" thing. I can't even do a CKR yet and I've been working on this for 2 years. I've only successfully inverted a handful of times. I see girls posting "My first months progress" type videos and I'm like how is she doing butterflies and ayeshas and v inverts etc. A month?!? Noone in particular, just saying when you see people pick up a pole and just progress like crazy, it makes your efforts feel menial. I definitely hoop and yoga and aerial hammock and sometimes just dance to try and keep feeling good about myself when the pole eludes me.

Sooo many dream tricks lol. Last night I dreamt I could do a superman. I've never had that dream before. I got into it so easily, I even went into a superman bridge thing, and angled myself facing really far down. I don't even know if what I dreamt is possible, but it sure was cool.

Ninja, your first sentence is EXACTLY what I'm doing right now.
Actually you're whole post kind of shows exactly how I've been feeling, especially in reference to the 10 year old.
Press on I MUST!!!!

I always wonder how many jobs I've not been hired for on account of looks. But I snicker if they do put an airhead where they could've put an intelligent hard working person. Their loss. But studies have shown time and time again that being considered attractive will make you more successful than many other factors. Its sad. Very sad.

I just did a few pole sits to see if I could think of anything else. I didn't fully warm up my pole, so it was more painful because I was sliding juuuust a little, but the sliding made it hurty. I also found when I don't to a pole hold, situate myself, and THEN release my weight into the sit, I burn more. Like if I try to just kind of wrap and sink without fully clinging the legs first. I think that its the same reason as the first, it makes me slide just a little to situate with weight on vs situating with your arms holding your weight.

I never knew there was a word for how I have always felt. Thats pretty nice.

I think just doing it once or twice every session helps it to feel pretty normal. Also adjusting a little, sometimes closer to the pole, sometimes further away, to find the "sweet spot" where you can just chill in a sit with minimal discomfort. The best for me is to keep the pole not ON my crotch, but pretty close to the pole. Further away takes more squeeze power and pulls on skin. Thats another thing, make sure you squeeeeeeze really hard to hold your weight, don't just squeeze enough that skin sticks and basically holds you up more with skin pinch than muscle… Good luck!

I'm definitely dudeish, a lot of why I got into poling involves me trying to get more in touch with my pretty/feminine side. I've got a mostly buzz cut with a mohawk ponytail on top lol. I wear shorts and wifebeaters when I pole. I haven't even poled in high heels yet because I can't even WALK in high heels. There are definitely times where I struggle with wishing I was born a guy, but I also feel I was born this way, so I have to accept that and adapt to it, however "unfeminine" I feel. I always related to Mary Stuart Masterson's character in Fried Green Tomatoes. I want to get stronger.

All my vids are from about thigh height. They do me pretty good "reality" justice. I typically like a slightly downward view for photography, I've always found it more flattering, but pole different. Get with your daughter and play around with cam placement 🙂

Is this the pole you got from me? It was purchased in April of 2011. I think they've tweeked a few things about design but I think they are the same x joints going out with new poles. I was thinking the same as Chem, maybe you could patch or fill where its allowing the xjoint to turn.

Good luck, show em what you've got! I know Miami is very showy, so keep your fabulous queued up!

Yes they showed a photo of her with her children, its very tragic all around. Its a chilling reminder that something can go wrong unexpectedly at any time.

I'd love to do a machine gun, if only in a hand press on the floor. Its soooooo cool. I can get my leg up over my shoulder but can't straighten it.
