Thats great 🙂 How long did you wait after getting the tattoo until you started poling? I just got mine 5 days ago and its peeling right now and the wait is not easy!

I just got 2 new tattoos 😀 Very happy. Except that one of them is on my thigh where I grip the mose when doint pole sits, car and thigh holds. It will be hard not do use that part of my thigh for some time. And not looking forward to having the pole burn all over again. But I love how it looks hehe 🙂 Just hope that the pole wont ruin it.
Do any of you have a tattoo on a place on the body that you use heavily on the pole and has it faded or anything?

Oh and after a few months I was also really close to the front splits only from doing 10 – 15 minutes of stretching after each pole practise. I wasn't even focusing on it. Wich is another good reason to not give up. Even if you won't reach the level you want to you will really get a better looking and functioning body 🙂 And you never know. Alot of us polers if not most of us have become better on the pole then we ever thought we would 🙂

I was in really bad shape when I started. I was like my instructor said, a skinny fat girl heheh. I couldn't do one pull up on the pole or one push up, I was so weak and stiff and hadn't done any exercice since I was a little kid. I always hated sports and thought it was time to get in shape.
In 2 months I could already see difference, both strength wise and in the mirror.
Just keept at it when you have the time and you wont regret it 🙂

Also. One more reason to dance to the music now is that you dance better. At least that is the case for me. The more I like the music the better my dance will be. 🙂

Do it now and do it again when you get better! 🙂
I just did a dance to a song that I danced to a year ago. And it's really fun to see the improvement. I just made a before and after blog here on SV 🙂
Check it out. 🙂 Would be fun also if more would do the same 🙂
Dance to the same song you did and video it and make a before after blog 😀 1 month/ 6 months/ year / since you first started / whatever 🙂

Love the idea of imagening pulling the pole down. Never thought of that! 🙂
I like the cupped grip the best. It was very scary at first and I used the grip Veena uses while I was becoming comfortable with shouldermounts. Then I tried the cupped grip again and it is my favorite. Im so much stronger with that grip. Although I have seen that some other grips seem better for certain combos and its on my to do list to get the princess grip(i think thats the one) to be able to do a few combos that I have always wanted to do.

You can add this to your warm ups before each pole practise to gain strenght for the shouldermount. I call it shouldermount knee lifts. It is almost the same as the shouldermount.
Get in the shouldermount position. Use any grip you like and bring your knees up to your chest and do it about 10 times. Then as this gets easier you can focus on lifting your legs up to your elbows and eventually all the way up 🙂 Hope this helps.

I took the pole down. The sound came from either the top dome or the top xjoint. So I took it down and reinserted the locking pins on the xjoint and put it back up. Spent about 15 minutes leveling the pole 🙂 It felt like forever and tighened the pole less tighter then I had before and the sound stopped! 😀
Im so relieved !
Thank you 🙂

Just tried that. Made it perfectly level and untightened a bit but still clicking. What now? :S
-
Thanks I will try that after work. 🙂 I really hope that this isn't permanent. Kinda ruins the music im dancing to hehehe 😛

Wow ! 2 weeks that is amazing! Congrats 🙂 took me 2 months and still dont always get them. Need to start stretching everyday again to maintain my splits and hopefully get some oversplit. 🙂
