Yes – a polers problem lol! I have quite large lats, shoulders and biceps. And my hips are really small…I don’t mind at all the way I look but my problem has always been finding shirts that fit me correctly :-(. I’m either bulging through the top like the hulk, or if it fits my upper body, it’s way too baggy around the waist…

I have used no tab – two points of span sets and they never moved 🙂

I had a local guy make my lyra, but it doesn’t hurt to ask. I think there is this one site where she can make it for you…I know it’s one of the first sites that pop up when you search but I forgot the name 🙁

You would want to use span sets for rigging a no tab lyra 🙂

When I got my huge back one, I stayed away from pole or any work involving laying on my back. I didn’t even work out to hard bc I didn’t want to sweat…so it took me about 10 days afterwards to get back to normal. If its small, I think it will heal faster for you. I’d give it like 3-4 days. Congrats on your new tattoo 🙂

I do!! I think I’m one of those people who have no trouble at getting really strong, but have the hardest time with flexibility – back, shoulders, calves and hamstrings. I was doing really good with my training until recently – I just didn’t have the extra 30 minutes after my workout to fit it in :-(. After my vacation this week though, I’ll be getting back to it. I started doing 1 day of splits and 1 day of back per week. Then the next week, I would bump it up to 2 times for the next few weeks. Then finally up to 3 times per week. I found too that I got better results with front splits if I did middle splits the next day (along with my back stretching). My middles have always been a lot easier for me to stretch though. Hang in there…and listen to your body 🙂

I don’t know about the forearms, but for lady area – you could use a trimmer just to trim the area so you’re not getting rid of it. And shave or wax the bikini line. I really want to do laser down there – but not all of it! Just so I don’t have to do as much up keep lol! My sister in law had the laser done and she said it was the best decision she ever made. They even made a cute shape lol, and she did her armpits too.

Just posted a video on my page doing it…in that practice I could keep spinning half the time :-(. It’s my most recent video “aerial shoulder mount and Allegra”

Oh – and I use regular cup grip. I’m most comfortable with that. My elbows are in nice and tight too. I can’t think of what could cause this problem.

Watch your video – I don’t know what is going on with me lol! I do have with right hand being the lowest…I’m practicing it tomorrow so I’ll definitely make sure to record and post a video :-). I was spinning crazy fast before lifting into it – then when I went to lift, dead stop, then place my legs on into crusafix, it maybe spun like 1/4 turn…nothing :-(. Maybe I’ll have better luck in practice tomorrow!

I go through the exact same thing! Acne, bloating, constipation…it sucks! And the longest time I quit – which was 8 months – it never went away!!! I’ve tried cold turkey and the patch. That’s what I’m wondering too – if these other “alternative” methods help alieviate these side effects. Everyone that has quit kept telling me that I would feel so much better after a month or so of quitting, but even after 8 months, I still felt awful! It was like my body was so pissed off at me for quitting and was holding a grudge :-P. I know this might be a controversial thing to say, but I do believe I read that cigarettes do actually help the digestive tract. I obviously know it does way more harm, but it does keep you regular lol!

I struggle with this addiction…I’ve quit 4 times in the past several years and I just recently started up again. I really think I need to do hypnosis or acupuncture or something. It’s like I need to have my brain reprogrammed in order to kick it once and for all. My main issue is I seriously gain about 10 pounds in the first 2 weeks of quitting. I have a small frame so it’s crushing when after 10 pounds, I can no longer fit in my clothes :-(. Then within a few months, I start smoking again and lose the weight. This happens even though I continue to eat clean and work out. That’s why I think I need hypnosis or something.

I will post one in a few days when I practice again. I don’t think I’m hesitating…I do a variation of the back knee hook with right hand high, then turn to the right direction into figure head and Shouldermount on my right. Let me know if you figure out any mechanics in your practice tonight – thanks 🙂

I’m wondering if I’m going to need to windmill my legs like when doing a chopper…but that just seems like it would be wicked hard lol! I’ll keep trying 🙂
