I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM!!!
It happened last week and I tightened a bit and it stopped, but now it's creaking like mad. I loosed the whole pole until I could take it down (but didn't) and then retightened and it kept creaking. It's the celiing area 🙁
Does this mean I'm not fully on a joist? It's driving me mad cause it makes this sound when I'm just walking around. It's like super angry!

Happy birthday!!! I've been away from SV for way too long apparently! summer holidays completely throws me off! I'm glad I caught this post though and can wish you a special year… may it be the one that you get your iron x 🙂

Thanks HellsBells… that's pricey! 😡

Do they ship to the UK?

Personally I would go see physio therapist and ask for injury prevention exercises. I would show them videos of what we do so they can see where we place strain etc. 🙂
-
yeah i saw that and that's what made me ask. I find it so much easier to stretch out foot facing down (but I'm not in the splits yet!).
-
YEYEYEYEY!
-
Okie. Am going to buy a) foam roller, b) set of three handmaster plus, c) gym ball.
Physio did a nice little massage for me. 🙂
Once they arrive I'm buying your lessons and going to work on stretching and conditioning (on alternate days?).
YEYEYEYEY! This is cheering me up!

Veena, I'm so heartbroken about it today. I think I might have both carpal tunnel AND tennis elbow. I can't wait for physio to see if I'm right. I'm going to get a foam roller and buy your lessons cause I don't know what else I can do 🙁
I'm quite good about stretching absolutely poopy at resting 🙁
Today is not a happy lopsijulie day 🙁 I WANNNANANANANA POLE!

PS. We all want to do moves and catch up to someone 🙂 I watch blondebird, roxi, pheonix, and veena (to name a few) and am super jealous of their gorgeousness on the pole! Some of them have been poling for less time than me as well, but then I remind myself that we probably have different starting points, trained differently, etc.
Looks like patience is a virtue neither of us has really… hehehehe!

I think we also tend to forgot to practice old moves and then they become tricky. 🙂 Always try to do the moves you got and perfect, and pick a couple new ones to strive towards 🙂
Sparrow – thanks so much for the suggestion! Might get me a hoop and hooooola!

I also wanted to write that "basic" moves aren't the same for everyone. I could do a yogini before I could invert! I find knee hold much easier than superman. We are all different and have different strengths. Some spins are much harder for me than inverts, so don't beat yourself up either and think you can't try an interesting trick once in a while.

My two cents: don't over train. I currently have tennis elbow in both my arms!!! Why? Because I trained every day for two weeks. I just can't help it… I'm so addicted and it's how I deal with stress, so I'm NOW unable to do any pole and typing is actually not easy either!
I've decided that I need to find another activity that I can do to unwind that doesn't aggravate wrists. If anyone has suggestions, I'm up for it.
So yeah repetitive strain injuries can also happen… 🙁
-
Thanks, but I actually want to paint on fake cowboy boots unto my legs because taking them off is unattractive!!
The glittery eyes are fun, but unfortunately not helpful for what I want. 😛

"Pole dancing is gymnastics".
I don't think I would let my 3 year old to either though. These are quite tough sports on growing bodies. I think I would have to do more research on the physical stress this causes. 🙂
