I wonder where I could find and try this! Was gonna post a question about sweaty thighs- AT the studio, it gets so hot, my thighs get sweaty then I cant do easy moves that require a thigh grip. I want to do a double sea saw in a perfromace coming up- now worried that the amount of people in the room will casue the temp to rise and prohibit me from doing the trick! Ive alreadytried the popular products I use for my hands

I agree- its tough when you start- dont compare yourself to others when you go to class! I remember my first class and trying some things that I htought loked pretty simple and got discouraged when i couldnt do it- Just know its normal in the beginning- but be persistent in your efforts and you will be amazde at your progress- you kind gain momentum- Its slow at first to build those muscles- once you get goint, you bio;d strength, confidence- and nothing will stop you! I dont know if you cheked out veenas lessons at all too- I do those as well and her strength routine really helped me in the beginning. Good luck o your journey- welcome to our community and keep us updated in your progress! Videos are a great reminder of where youve been also on those days you get a bit frustrated- just look at where youve come form- even now w your weight loss and be proud! Its a journey so enjoy the whole ride!

Love those sequin shorts- and gonna have to try the tula top- im ;large breasted- have been dreaming of making some pole tops combined from the form of my fav bra and some of my fav sport tops that MIGHT work for us well endowed ladies – most of the options out there just dont work for us large breasted girlies. On my to do list- ever growing!! I know Im not the only one w big booby issues!

Im doing lots of researchmyself so will be interested to see the responses to this! (bump!) 🙂

I would call a dermatologist who does botox- it is really common to get botox injections for extreme – sweatiness- It doesnt last forever but it does a good couple of months-(everyones response is a tad different) It is an extreme solution but if you have tried everything and are getting nowhere and you really want to keep poling and advancing- it is a solution that WORKS!!! The side effects really arent that dangerous anymore- especially if you find a qualified dr. Im not surprised your general dr hasnt heard of it- it is a specialty and in dermatologist offices-but it is not a rareity! Lots of people get it under their underarms as ell for excessive sweating. If you watch groupon- if money is an issue – botox deals come up a lot! Trul;y if you tried everything else and it is effecting your poling everyday , I would at leats get a consultation- it WORKS! My step mom works for a dermatologist and they do this a lot!!!!

My daughter has had wrist surgery recently- Our OT recommended juggling of all things!
We were a bit surprissed but it has done wonders for her… Using OT hand balls she can do grip strengthening too with
Dont have time at the moment about the strength training- but thought of that when you said hand surgery…
Its helped her grip, coordination, mental focus, pain, anxiety… who would have known!

My fav Ive taken workshops w by far was rebecca butcher- she made everyone comfortable- whatever level broke it down like clock work and showed variations. She was the BEST teacher. I wasnt going to go cause I thought it would be too advanced and she encouraged me to come and promised she would be ble to teach me and she did!

static strecthing before a workout can decrease strength up to 30%! Thats HUGE!!!
Read http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/02/sports/playmagazine/112pewarm.html
I dont think as polers we can afford to loose 30% of our upper body strength before a workout.
I just learned this info myself and have totally revamped my workouts to achieve maximun performance potential.

Well Angel they cant take away all that knowledge you piled up and youve got it and have applied it and taken full advantage of it! I think it has served you well! I love your training and find it to be right on the $. I think the fact that the test wasnt so overwhelming is reassuring to a lot of people however.
Similar thing happenned to me w my opening innspection for my ALF- I worked SOO hard to bring my building up tp code- did a walk through before w the inspector of what was wrong when I got the building ( a lot) – worked my a$$ off fixing everything and when she came back to inspect- she barely looked in the rooms and passed me. I was ticked!!! I worked soo hard and I wanted her to inspect every room, door, nick and corner I had made perfect!! lol
I wanted proper total recognition for all my hard work!!
