    Just curiouosif anyone has heard fo this pole? Is it the "fake" X pole you were talking about?

    I was just doing some research on used poles since I am buying one from a studioveena member and found this- Never heard of it and couldnt find the XTC brand on any of the forums. Just thought Id post in case it was something to beware of! Its the forst pole that comes up on ebay!

    Checkoutthe WEN products! I have frizzy hair too- tried all the serums and none worked. This is theONLY product that every worked for me. THey have videos you can watch. Ithas no soap bubbles like runemist said so it doesnt dry it out at all. My hair looked like  it came form someone elses head- not mine! Now I can wear my curls. I bet WEN w those curlsers would be killer

    I tried ex butterfly last night for the first time- been doing butterfly for a while and never tried to extend! I was amazed to find that I could do it!  found it easier to invert into gemini, then butterfly, then straighten my leg and as heathalynee said- really pushed my ankle into the pole for stability.

     I invert on the left of my pole too. My right arm is lower not higher. May be where you are getting twisted. I invert into gemini  then bring my right arm down over my head ,push up into top of caterpillar, then right leg comes off for butterfly. I know lots skip the gemini, but for me, I have always found that to be easier to push into from there. Someone showed me that tip when I was first learning butterfly and it worked!

    I hope you get it and post a video! I'm really gonna work on posting videos. I got a new tablet and haven't figured it out! The gemini to butterfly is one of the only videos I ever posted on here before I got my tablet. lol

    I struggle w this too! Its hard for me to loose fat- I run 5 miles a day and never seem to move. However, any strength training I do, I gain muscle quickly then I feel bulky. Unfortunately I have large breasts not small so that also contribute sto the look. I find when poling hard, I have to stretch the arm holes of my shirts due to the muscles there! Sympathize! I also am aware though that muscles burn more fat so if I ever want to cut through it- I need those muscles there to help burn. Sympathy!

    Nymph- I am soo sorry to hear about that as well. You definitely can relate. It is so hard to have a loved one so sick. It puts things into perspective a bit becuase I at least know that my kids will improve. My 8yo is still in the hospital. My 16yo had more panic attacks yesterday and had to come home from school. I gave her osme CD's to listen to last night from U cure. I had her start w the breathing one-   she came back and gave them to me and said they were horribly creepy weird and scared her. I thought they were relaxing. I dont know what to do w her! I can also relate to your job situation. My husband is a contractor and that says enough for now! I hope your mom continus to improve. Its a scary road. and so sorry about your FIL. I hope he didnt suffer from the tumor too much. I used to work for neurosurgeons- that can be extremely scary. Is you daughter feeling better now? and you? I really feel for you- Im whining about 7 days in a row and youve been going through this for 7 weeks! Thank you so much for your reply becuase it really helps to know someone else is going through a similar situationand can relate, although I am so sorry to hear what you are struggling with.

    On a lighter note, you are opening a studio? Good for you!!

    @Tarah- thanks so much- She seemed to turn a corner yesterday and was able to get off the IV morphine. I came home from the hospital last night w my 16yo- she really needed me w her. I am gonna call now and see how the night went w my hubby.

    I was too struggling w this, after I read Amy's tutorial I really got it! I was balancing my weight in the worng position which wasnt allowing my body to get away from the pole- after her tutorial it was so easy I felt stupid for doing it the wrong way for so long! It would have never worked w my body weight in the wrong position- which I was doing becuase I was scared to commit! Read it again and get a spotter and have them read her tips as you are doing it so you can make corrections. It worked for me!

    I have never heard of an autologous blood transferr! SInce it is the lack of blood flow to the tendon that cause it to take so much time to heal, I bet that is the BEST treatment option available to speed things up. Good to know there is something out there like that to help

    @pancake- I know she has some trailers for her new soulfully sexy dvd's on you tube. I have all of her DVD's, she talks about the concept but the DVD has the moves but are set up more excercise based. She does show you how to flow out of one move and into the next when they change position. What I am trying to learn is how to take the moves she uses for workout and put them into a dance, use her transitions but instead of workout for be dance, personally inspired. I am now working on just going over and over the movement to place it in my muscle memeory so I feel confident enough w the move to incorporate it in my dance. Ive kinda figured I need the move in my head kinda second nature- then I can let myself go in the music and just move w out thinking so much of what move I am doing, but letting them flow out of me.  I sooo wish there was a studio clse to me cause I know they do this in the studio w music. Since you already are musically inspired I am sure once you learned her movement, you would take off! I think you could share your dance w no problem- its getting the feeling and finding your inner EC that takes some privacy to feel comfortable w yourself. There are lots of s girls on here- I can ususally spot who they are by their slow fluid dances! They just seem so much more sensual and confident.

    @jenniferp- I WISH I could go to that retreat- so bad! It is quite pricy!! I drove to Miami once for a workshop she held there about 5 years ago. My first experience!

    It is definitely a yogini! Here is a link to it in the pole dance dictionary:
