Oo how come? The injury happened from a stupid aerial invert which im never doing again – inverting but without feet touching the floor to begin with. twisted grip is very comfy for me and it was the arm/side that isn't twisted that got injured

Thanks girls, I feel a bit better now. No more trying to hold myself up then and I'll just do my stretching and pilates for a few weeks instead 🙂
nymph i didnt know you can get non reverable nerve damage, yikes! How did it happen? I didn't really know nerve damage was that serious really, maybe cos mine is very minor (no pain at all, was tingling in the whole arm and muscle twitching initially, but now only a funny feeling in the forearm a few times a day). I will be good and not touch the pole then cos i dont want further damage! I went to the physio agian today and shes changed my nerve exercise so that I target the median (i might have that wrong) nerve cos I've fixed the ulna one.
I didnt think slightly pulling a muscle in your shoulder/back area could cause al this! poling isnt all safe hey, at least I can pilates safely LOL

rephrase: rushed to the er. not ran as my leg would be unfunctional lol

If its causing you THAT MUCH pain it sounds really serious?? I would have ran to the ER

@PowerTwirl, I set the Background Eraser tool to black and trace around, I use a smaller sized brush when near the outline of the body for all the nooks and crannies and small areas, and make my brush huge to black out the surrounding areas – that last bit is the easy part! It takes me about half an hour per pic cos I'm a perfectionist hehe
-
I just use adobe photoshop to edit and enhance my pics, and most of all black out the background 🙂 I can do a few of yours if you want black backgrounds!

Thanks so much for that Amy!!! I will try what you said 🙂 And Veena thanks heaps that stretch looks perfect!

I wear human hair clip in extensions all day every day!! I only take them out for bed, and have done so for 8 yrs 🙂 I buy mine from http://www.headkandy.com they are the best!

joyful – Not much tarnish at all on mine, a small fingerprint sized area at the very top of the pole and a few dots about waist height, so really not much tarnishing at all!
chwenny – i live in australia so I got mine off the australian xpole website 🙂

I'm guessing the pain will go away the more you've done the move. Elbow grip is a very comfortable aysha grip for me now, I used to get bruises from it but I can do a dozen in a row now and get no inner elbow or arm bruises at all!

Grip is SO much better!!!!!!!! I wipe the pole down maybe twice max in an hour-1.5hr session with some glass cleaner on a cloth and it gets the grip back for me, but otherwise I barely slip, and if I do it's cos my hands are suddenly sweating (they seem to get sweaty if I think about a move too much and get nervous LOL)
I AM SO HAPPY I got my brass xpole!!!!!! it's so much better to use than a chrome one for me 🙂
-
I'm thinking maybe when it tarnishes? I have some on the top of my pole, a little area of blackening, but otherwise it looks really clean so I haven't used brasso on it yet
-
oh really peace! I've always used glass cleaner oops.. i need to get me some rubbing alcohol actually!
joyful – yep your right the base and dome are not brass!! i am guessing titanium gold? its a shinier, more slippery metal. cheap hey!!!!!! its okay though i was annoyed at first about the base and adjuster cover being not brass cos my lower hand in upside down holds sometimes holds the adjuster cover but I don't seem to slip 🙂
-
thanks mizvix!!!! they may take me more time with more arms and legs in the shot but I can let you know if they are okay to do! email them if you like and i'll take a look 🙂

I've only used glass cleaner on my brass so far (its a 2 week old brass xpole) but to be honest it doesn't really need a wipe down cos its so grippy! After I use Brasso on it, does anyone know if glass cleaner will cut through the residue that Brasso might leave on? Or do I need rubbing alcohol?
