What specifically is creaking? There are 2 bearings on the pole….one in the dome and one in the base. They are fir the most part sealed bearings but they can be lubricated. Best is a light machine oil….3in1 or many times if you have a sewing machine or electric razor you already have some lying around.

There are so many posts and blogs about the twisted grip and how it is really not good for you. Your body is screaming NO…..when are you going to listen?

You will be surprised how quickly you will build the strength to do it! Jamilla (I think it was her videos) had a really good way to start these and that was you band one knee and balance on your tip toes then lower that leg and band the other. In time you will be able to get both feet off the ground, even if just a split second.

Yes it was. Sadly those that worked extremely hard to make it happen have been pushed to the side. Also the male pole dancer who was up there with us impressed the hell out of the committee however the group that has taken over has opted not to allow men to compete, even though the qualifying comps did.

Where did you get the new pieces? The old xpole brass was a brushed finish and the new is polished. I personally would contact and get the new polished replacements.

Stainless is HORRIBLE in the cold, at least for me. I can tolerate it when it is warmer, which is why I can use it here in NC but had a bad time with it in Ohio. Again, it all depends on your body chemistry. I personally do not like brass, but I know many who do, and me and chrome get along just fine.
What has been your problem with your past poles?

Beware of BB.com; at times it can be filled with a lot of broscience and you can hurt yourself even more. A really good place that is geared specifically to women is Oxygen. It is probably the best and most researched magazine I have found that is aimed at women who lift. http://www.oxygenmag.com/

It comes down to money. Most performers rely on tips, so how would these people get paid?
If you want that on stage feeling check out many of the showcases that happen locally or even the big ones during Midwest and the Michigan pole fest.

The closest I have come is some of the places that regularly hold burlesque shows.

I used to hate, and I mean HATE 45s. It seemed the only thing it was good for was getting into superman. Now I hate to say that I kinda prefer it. I will say that anything leg hold wise was difficult to adjust but now it is not a big deal. You will adapt. And boo n this freaking cold weather but it is supposed to be near 60 this weekend so don’t bum too much.

Hi and welcome! How long have you been poling? Can you do a shoulder dismount? I find the the opposite/negative movement can be a great conditioning for any trick.

They were going after the bachelorete crowd as the legit studios in town do not allow alcohol for their parties. Plus this is a college town.

They have been open for maybe close to 2 years now? That is if they’re still open. They are in a high rent district and are more of a party bar. Their big thing if I remember correctly were their candy flavored shots. Needles to say, you know they don’t have insurance.

Is this the one in Columbus? If it is then no no no no no no. They are attached to a bar….need I say more?

What diameter is this? My cover drops to the bottom of the pole and then lifts and screws into place. Have you loosened the 3 hex screws that are probably hidden under the cover? That is the only way that I know to lengthen and shorten the threaded section.
