  • The pole that she has in that video is a brand from Europe. I cannot remember the name off the top of my head. I would look into a used XPole or SSA (V3.0 or higher) for something in the states. Those are the only two manufacturers of “safe” stage poles.

    There is a Facebook site dedicated to safe pole and safe teaching. I would direct her to it. Having a student get injured is not worth keeping the student.

    My powder coated was a bear in summer. It was either too sticky to the point of ripping skin or too slippery when I was sweaty. It was great all other seasons but I hated it when it was hot and humid. I am the same with brass though and really do by like it as a pole material.

    Jessies, sorry to confuse you. Not that I would not mind seeing your face but Dino (nerdasaurus) was who that message was for. She and I used to live close and now she is in Pitts and I am in NC.

    Jessie, Tuesday or Thursday evenings I could do plus I would love to see your face regularly! Veena chat is probably the easiest for group stretching.

    Resounding yes. On top of that there is feedback available here if you post a video or just ask on that specific lesson.

  • Dude, I have been at this for 6+ years, can aerially invert and do lots of upper level stuff but still cannot do the handstand you are referring to. I do not feel comfortable in it and it freaks me out every time even if I do attempt it. It has nothing to do with strength at all. It has everything to do with not every move is for every body.

    Are you going to look back and say “what if”? If 3 months down the road you were told you could never pole again what would you do? You entered the comp originally for a reason. What was that reason and does it still exist?

    It sounds as if the only thing that is stopping you is your own self doubt.

    My favorite still to this day is Liquid Grip. Tite grip is supposed to be good for sweaty, too.

    You need the app dated 7/16. They had pushed out one on the 9th that killed everyone’s app. See if you can update yours again.

    I personally would ask to speak with the instructor one-on-one. Explain to her that you don’t feel safe kicking into these moves as they can cause injury. And if she is unwilling to work with you then you need to speak to the owner.

    After I posted that comment I did some searching of myself and found the same thing. Supposedly they have sent the app bug fixes however last I checked it still has not been released.
    On that note my husband and I are just following the calendar one but starting wherever we tested into. Fucker started at two minutes!.

    For me being outside is a huge thing. We go camping a lot and even just weekends when we are home we try to get out either on the water, hiking or biking. In the evenings when we get home my husband and I will sit on our front porch and have a drink and talk about our day. Other times just snuggling up or playing with my dogs calms me.

    I am not sure exactly where to buy it, however there was a discussion a little while (like 2 years ago) on facebook about CeraVe lotion being almost the same ingredient profile as Pole Physics. You may want to try it instead if you cannot find PP. You can buy it at pretty much any drug store, and I think Target and possibly Walmart sell it. You are looking at about $12 a bottle.
