I'd give it a week of RICE, and then, if you have no pain doing normal activities (standing, walking, stitting) start with those rehab exercises. If those hurt, then I'd stop immediately, and do another few days off and check again. Veena has some foam roller videos that also might help in the meantime. Remember, if you strengthen the healthy side while you are resting, that will help the injured side, too. It helps maintain muscle mass and there is some "neurological crossover" from what I understand.

I wonder if anyone would assume a gym for men was a strip club if they called it "balls of steel" or "Chip & Dale's Butts & Guts". Plus, 's points get me to thinking…I'm fairly sure the actual strip clubs there (a quick google search brings up quite a few) don't have to put up with nails in their phone lines. So maybe the harassment is more about the idea of women dancing with a pole and the "strip club" line is just a cover for their own prejudices.

R. I. C. E. first, yes! Although elevating a hip can be hard…

Well, as I sit here on my ice pack, I have the same thing going on! Including the recurring snapping hip. I'm going to try to rehab it with balancing exercises and these:

Then I'm going back to use my Finis Jhung dvd for stretching properly since I know it was likely poor form that got me here.

It really helped me to look down at the floor (like drop my chest forward) to help me learn to get my booty back. I learned on static.

Argh, dunno why that posted like that, but use the last link in my post.

David C. Owen does that move to an extended Butterfly in this video (he starts the prep at 11 seconds in):

My friends and I tried it and it wasn't that bad/hard if we made sure our bottom foot was close to the pole, which seemed weird at first, but made it work.

Sending love and strength your way…I'm so sorry you've lost your friend.

Can you clarify what you mean by single joint exercise? I'll bet there's a lot of good ideas on this board!

@ -I've been in a similar situation with an "instructor" (and I use that term loosely) who bad mouthed everyone else in the pole world, including some frequent posters on here that aren't even in the same state! She always wanted everyone to go spy for her. Needless to say, I left not long after I started. I love this thread–shows that people want to be more positive! Kinda reminds me of Santa in Miracle on 34th Street sending people to Macy's competitors.

You've hit a plateau. This is totally normal and will go away! Here's a really good article on it (and I'm sure you can google more):

Plus, thinking "must do this now" or "must learn this now" is really easy to fall into with all the different pole moves out there, but in a four minute song, just how many of them will you be able to do anyway? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif Pole should be enjoyable, not stress-inducing! Take Cinara's advice and change it up. Maybe find the silliest song you can think of to dance to and see what happens!
Good Luck!!

When it's humid, I make sure I have a fan directed at the pole to keep it cool…seems to help me not rip my skin off! Also, maybe try using water or something other than alcohol to clean it? No go on the Windex for me, though…that ammonia is baddd.

This is a fairly common move in Miss Fitness competitions. They even do push ups in the pose. Maybe google that?

Argh…nothing wrong with it, but the owner should have at least made sure the little girl wasn't showing her midriff…just causes more sensationalism. Love the "provocative pose" pic comment…WE all know what spin she just landed in and there's nothing provocative about it. Except for the obviously disturbed photographer who got down on that angle to shoot it.
