Those were some great advice. 🙂 I got my tite grip and am experimenting with it and how it works best for me.
Charley I had never thought of all those things you said 😛 But will now. My hands also start sweating like crazy on chrome when I have no problem on stainless.
Will definately consider all those advice.
I danced on a 50mm chrome pole in a competition in january. And I had never had the chance to try both 50mm and chrome finish before the competition. And totally unexpectedly I ended up slipping when doing some split grip wich is always so easy for me. It messed up the rest of the performance because I was rushing back up and it sucked! After that I bought a 50mm chrome to be ready next time!

Yes, I have the same problem. And when I press pause it pauses for a bit and starts playing again :S Like I can't even pause it to load the video.

My favorite back excercise.
Lie on your stomach in front of your pole (or something else if you dont have a pole) Grab the bottom of the pole with your hands. Keep your legs straight and lift them as high as you can off the ground.
This one is also great.

I got my front splits on both sides for the first time in my life at the age of 24 🙂 Took me about 2 months. I used the 6 weeks program but I added some more stretches to it and some variations of the stretches in it because I didn't think that those 6 stretches were enough for me. I stretched about 6 days a week for 30 to 90 minutes. After finally got the splits I couldnt do them for days afterwards and it was really frustrating. But now that I think of it and after reading more about this it might be because I was doing really intense and deep stretching many days in a row. It might have been better to do heavy stretching 3-4 times a week and light stretching in the days between.
I higly recommend the pigeon pose and the king pigeon pose. Its the best stretch ever! And I started progressing faster when I added them to my stretching routine. 🙂
The frog stretch I like also. And just add any stretch that you know of that stretch your hamstrings, quadriceps, hips and calfs. Oh yea. Stretching the calfs helps to! I didnt figure that out at first but it really does held i think. 🙂
Now I maintain the splits with a short (10-15min) but good stretching routine about 3 times a week. But they are unreliable but I can do them most of the time 🙂 I am planning on starting to stretch more often now because I want oversplits. 🙂
Good luck! 🙂

Remember that you should videotape yourself to help with your own progress. Not to compare yourself to others.
If you can't point out what exacly you need to fix or change from your videos you can always post them here if you have the courage and ask for feedback. You could for example say hey this is my video, there is something wrong about my split grip, any tips what I can try to improve it?
Sometimes you just need to practice the moves again and again until they gradually become more fluid, easy and prettier.
I hate a million things in my videos, but I post them anyways and they really do help. Sometimes im just not feeling it and can't dance at all. Thats just the way it is I guess.
When I first videotaped myself I realized that some things that I thought I were doing perfectly were not so perfect. I didn't point my toes while I was inverting for examples and fully extending my legs in many moves. . Then I started practicing those moves again but focusing on extending the legs and point toes. And I still struggle with this in many moves. And when the feet are looking okay my hands are ridiculouss!
But thats what videos are for. Seeing what needs to be fixed and to keep track of how fixing those things is going. And remember to notice the things that you like about yourself in the videos. And what makes you a unique 🙂

Those who only notice girls for having big boobs are probably not the type of guys that you really want to be around anyways 🙂 And maybe the thought that guys only notice girls with bigger breastst is probably only something in your head. 🙂 Stop feeling bad and start being proud and feel good about the way you were made 🙂

Like I said before. I am and have always been small chested. And I have never had any problems with that. I never try to make the look bigger and I don't want clevage. To me it would just be weird and slutty and not fit my body type.
I like smaller boobs better. But just to be clear every size is good! Dont want anyone to feel hurt. 🙂 I just think its so sad that so many small chested girls feel bad about themselves when they are perfect just the way they are and that they feel like they need to get implants or make their boobs look bigger.
And personally the only people I hear saying that bigger boobs are better are women. I have actually heard more guys say that they like smaller breasts better then the opposite. I have never felt any pressure about having bigger boobs. To me it usually just sounds like girls with big boobs are jealous that girls with small chest are hot too.
All small chested girls. Stop feeling like you are not good enough. You too are just as beautiful as anyone else and I am telling you that men think so too. ! 🙂

Doesn't breast size just follow the body type? Slim girls usually have smaller breasts. You rarlely see thin or slim girls with natural big boobs. After all boobs are fat.
I have always been either skinny or slim and I have a-cups. They used to be one cup size bigger about 6 years ago but then all my other clothes were also 1 or 2 sizes sbigger.
So too me it makes alot of sense that if you have low body fat your boobs most likely dont have much fat either. In most cases at least. I have also always imagined that if i had bigger boobs they would just get in the way when poling and add more weight and make things more difficult.
And one more last thing. I hate it when people talk bad about having small boobs or having no boobs. I see this all the time on the internet on facebook, youtube videos etc. People and most often its women who do this. Someone is doing something. Dancing or whatever. Then she gets comments about that she looks like a boy, or she isn't feminine, and her boobs are like onions and such things. These things are even said about sexy and feminine women. But if theyr boob size is under C or D they are not women enough and some feel the need to express that. I disagree. Many men prefer small boobs. I see teenage girls wanting to get breast implants because they think that no one is going to want a girl with small boobs.
Ohh well. Im off topic. This is just one thing that frustrates me and something that came to my mind when reading this topic. I feel lucky that I am happy to have a small chest and wouldnt want it any other way 😛

Ask xpole 🙂

Damn that sucks! Have you tried leaning to the side when doing pole sit like stuff.? That way you grip with the front of one thigh and the back of the other. 🙂

Wow you are crazy gettign a piercing on your foot with all that poling hehe. Looks good ! 🙂

I guess when it is healed. I was asking on a body mod forum. And they gave me crap answer. When it is healed. I wanted to know how I know when it is completely healed. Since it might take shorter or longer then the average. Blahh Hehehe..
I still can't do anything holding with my thighs. It sucks! Its been 2 weeks since I had an actual pole practice and I only did a bit of strenght training yesterday.
I knew this when I got the tattoo but when it actually comes to waiting/healing time it is so much harder to wait then I thought it would be. 😛

Woohoo. Any other updates? I wish I could be there so much!!

Really? I have danced on a pole that was smaller then 38mm and had no problem gripping with my legs.But I dont ride horses either. Is there no way you could get used to it and adjust to the 45mm? Its not really a big difference I think. But then again I am used to 38mm.
I dont have small hands but I find hand grip really difficult on 50mm. Im really hoping to get used to it someday. I can however do anything on 38mm. Leg grips and armpit holds are just alot easier on 50mm but I dont think its worth it since I don't have any problems with those moves on a 38mm.
I say booo on 50mm. 😛 And a yay too because its just really comfy and super easy to do thigh holds on 50mm 😛

That would be so great!
I competed in Battle of the pole in Sweden where they used a 50mm pole.
I know the european championship uses 50mm
World championship have a spinning 38mm and static 50mm pole.
The Icelandic championship had I think was a bit thinner then 38mm.
Do you know what other competitions are using? If we could get a good list it would give a pretty good idea of what is being used 🙂
