    May 30, 2012 at 9:12 pm in reply to: Which type of pole (brass, tit, chrome)

    I’m always warm. It’s from start to finish during my pole practice that I have issues. My hands start to sweat as soon as I touch the pole. I’m not nervous. It can be the most basic move. And it doesn’t matter the season it’s always the same. My pole space is in the basement of an air conditioned home and I have a fan. I live n northern Alberta. I dunno I guess it’s just my hands. =(

    I didnt know what "asexual" meant so I googled it and it says that it means your not attracted to male or female. Is this what it is? If so I am not asexual however this is interesting if it does mean this I have never heard of this before!

    Hey Breanne, I know how you feel completely. I started in January and I couldnt do spins properly, (although I did any way :S) I hung from my shoulders and it looked terrible. I could not do a pole hold. I thought I was in pretty good shape too for what ever reason. I had no body flexibility what so ever. I am able to do the front splits now on and off depending on the day and how warm my muscles are. My body feels so much stronger, although I am not able to do Aysha's or jack knifes I feel that I am doing pretty well considering I have only been poling for 4 months, almost 5 now I guess! 
    If you dont have the time thats understandable but if you get time dont not do it because it doesnt feel worth it because trust me it is! It feels amazing to stick a move that you have been preparing to do or trying to hard to get!

    Heey Leela, its awesome that you are taking lessons. I understand that it can be frustrating at first and seem like you arent getting very far however your building strength with out even realizing it yet. I as well have a stainless steel pole and i understand that it can be slippery and although grip aids to seem like a great idea, its always a good idea to get used to poling with out any type of grip aid at first. After about a month or so you will start getting less nervous and your hands will get used to it and will produce less nervous sweat etc. I used to have to wipe my hands after EVERY move and it was frustrating but the girls here encouraged me to just keep doing it and that eventually it would get better. Although I still have a bit of slippery issues the initial had wipe after every time I touch the pole is gone now. I do however clean my pole with windex and it does help and doesnt seem to do any damage to my stainless steal pole. I spray a little on a soft cloth and wipe the pole with the cloth. Good luck and dont worry it will get better. btw be careful I have heard there are some issues with spinning in a certain direction with though ps start stand alones. Just want you to be safe!

    April 21, 2011 at 5:57 pm in reply to: tips for a more controlled headstand?

    Hey there, when i first started doing forearm head stands I used two methods to build up my ab strength. The first was when I could only use momentum to get up into it, I would control my way back down. I would put my legs into the position they would be in if I was lifting up into it but rather I would see how far I could get my legs down with out falling. Do you know what I mean. After I started getting better at doing this i would get into position for a forearm stand lift but instead of trying to V my way up I would bend at the knees, lift my legs with my abs and then straighten my legs after I was past the initial lifting point. Now I am able to do a forearm lift with no momentum what so ever. I hope you get what I mean if not let me know and I will post a video showing you what I mean
