I always start out with good intentions and then my body reminds me that I have no balance! It's better hanging onto the pole, but I feel like Sandra Bullock in that movie where she's walking all sexy and then falls on her face…

I tried one on at the Midwest Convention. They seem to fit small, so I would go up a size from what you normally wear. They will always shrink from laundering, anyway.

I hate to say it, but I think any trick or spin can aggravate an inflammed rotator cuff. Walks and floor work might be the only thing that might not. Any spin could easily injure it. Split grip anything, Allegra, Handstands, etc. So many things could injure it. I'm no expert, though. Did you injure yours?

I can get a flat split on one side, but only after working out for at least an hour. I always end with them. About 4 inches to go on the other side. Have never tried middles. Stretching by the TV tonight! Spread 'em!

Ahhh! I love spinny!! I think I was poling for around 7 months when I started and I have never looked back! The first move I did was a fireman. Wheeeeeeeeh!!! Yes, it's definitely a different dynamic. In static, you usually have a walk or pushoff for momentum. In spin it's more of a lift-off. The closer your body is to the pole, the faster you will go. That's why a fireman was a good first move.

I have so many of the same wishes!
~ Definitely more back flexibility. I have too much degeneration and sublaxations to ever hope for better!
~ 45mm Brass Xpert X-Pole
~ Thigh High, patent leather boots
~ Middle splits – I have never, ever attempted them
~ For my sister to get a clue and finally divorce the buttmunch she's married to
~ For my Dad's knee infection to clear up enough for him to be able to keep his leg
I love the idea of the sticky leggings and the pull-up bar, and I say the more shoes the better! Hohoho!!

Oh, and I forgot. If you want some helpful advise from a woman who has spent 26 years with her husband, I think it helps to set up what we call "argument boundries". Before Dennis and I were married, we established some ground rules for arguments. They're gonna happen. As Chemmie said, you need to understand each other's fighting style, but there should also be a line in the sand as to what determines going too far. Ours include "name calling". We will never facetiously call each other "asshole" or "bitch". We will never tell the other person that we hate them. We will never demean or belittle each other's careers. (this can be something that is talked about, just not in an argument) . We will never argue about family. Not ever! (this also falls into something that can be discussed not argued about). We agreed that if these lines are ever crossed, it is the responsibility of the line crosser to apologize. No argument about that. We each have to have enough respect for each other to stick to these rules, walk away as soon as the line is crossed, take responsibilty, and apologize when neccessary. If a couple is not able to do that, then there are some issues that are better discussed with a counselor or mediator. You two can make your own rules. To me, this was as important a discussion to have before marriage as was the "having kids" talk.
