Serzi & Crystabel – Having been part of both the cheer and pole community, I just wanted to follow up on your points about cheerleading. Just like pole, cheerleading has that stigma attached to it. I was a competitive cheerleader for 6 years – although there are some "cheerleading" teams that wear skimpy clothing and dance suggestively, most cheerleading teams perform routines that include difficult stunts and tumbling that show a great deal of strength and flexibility. Honestly, not very different from pole. The cheerleading community gets just as much shit from ignorant people as the pole community and it's important for both communities to be accepting of each other https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

Thanks Jessica! I tried the subluxation apprehension test and I think my shoulder feels ok. It’s really sore right now just from poling in general so it’s a little hard to tell, but I’ll try it again in a couple days.

I'm lucky to be living in a condo that has 9 ft ceilings! It's the perfect height for me 🙂

Aerialgypsy and Juicy j -Thanks for the advice and the words of encouragement! I have tried DGP before and I still sweated through it, but maybe it will be different now since I have been using Drysol. I’ll try the DGP + Dry Hands combo too…hopefully that works! 🙂

Lyme – I just ordered the Cramer spray, so I’m hoping that will help! 🙂

Chem and portablenjinja – I agree, I think TG would probably have been a better choice than chrome…I didn't expect that my hands would sweat this much. I guess I will just have to get a TG pole as my next pole, whenver that may be! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

Sexyrockstars – Thanks for the link! It seems like powder coated probably wont end up making too much of a difference for me… 🙁

Poledanceromance – I have read about the botox injections for hyperhidrosis, but to be honest, I'm terrified, so I don't know if I would even be able to get myself to do that lol. Hopefully, like you said, I will get less sweaty the more confident I am and the more I practice. Luckily, I don't have any other sweating issues besides my hands, so maybe I should focus more on leg/forum/armpit holds.

Oops, it should say "I can't string moves together, freestyle or put a routine together."

Hmm interesing. Well either way it’s a cool combo!

Yea, I'm really good at back bends. For me, the tightness of my hamstrings is what limits my pike strech. I guess I just need to be patient and keep streching!
