Go with what is comfortable for you. When I started there were only 50’s but I have big hands. I HATED 45s until about the last year and now I kind of prefer them. 45s seem to be taking over.

I would never trust the SSA at that height.

Well there are 2 of the 4 studios that have just chimed in! I can vouch for both of these ladies.

What part of Cleveland and what level are you at? There are about 4 studios, one in Berea, two in Cleveland and one in Chardon. If you give me a little more information I can point you in the right direction.

I love the way she ripped up her knee hi’s so to give her both slide ability on the floor and grip ability on the pole.
-
Yeah, rolling on the floor like that is not as easy as she makes it look. Period. She reminds me of the Liquid Motion crew.

Pause the video at about 1:44 and look at the rotation of that top arm and shoulder. Dude, the top of her shoulder is in an unnatural position! I am thinking part of this may be a genetic ability to move her joints in that way, kinda like those that easily can do twisted grip stuff.
-
Those look easy to you? There are 2 big things in there that I see that you need to be able to do, first a one handed deadlift handstand and second an iron X. Even a proper iguana lift or deadlift handstand would be a good start.

You need to think even about “regular” athletes. No company is going to sponsor them until they have a name.
-
Not that I am aware. However I do know girls that have done lessons, kickstarter type things and fundraisers to try to get money for trips. To the best of my knowledge no company will sponsor you unless you have a title. And even many of the companies that sponsor the competitions do not give up money but may offer poles or merch to give away. This is true for most sports. I know that when I had done a teen pageant I had gone around to local businesses asking for donations, but that was many moons ago and before most companies tightened their belts on monetary donations.

They may get in the way, but your boobs and butt are FANTASTIC.

Kori , I love you!

I am really picky about paying good money for a workshop. I want someone who has been at this a while and preferably has some sort of background in fitness or gymnastics or dance or just general body mechanics. That said, those that are fairly new to the scene are not going to get my money, no matter how great of a poler they may be.

Glycerin based lotions like aveeno and some of the vaseline lotions, aloe and corn huskers all will help. You want to stay away from the lotions that use oils and butters as their top ingredients.

I am on my phone or I would link many of the discussions. Basically when you are in twisted grip you have extended all of your muscles to a near breaking point which cheats strength and stability. At the same time though if anything goes wrong since everything is maxed out the probability of injury is extremely high. Do a search on here and you will find so much it will make your head spin.
