The muscle you're talking about is your tricep. Rest! 🙂
Whenever I pull or strain muscles, I find that hot yoga or sauna relieves it the fastest.

It's not so much anemia or any blood levels or skin toughening. It's about control on the pole. The longer your practice, the more you learn to control your transitions and tricks onto the pole, the less you bruise. You may not realize it but you're putting more pressure on the bony parts of your body (i.e. top of your feet, side of your forearm, shins, etc.) instead of on the proper muscles or contact points.
Then there are certain moves you are bound to get bruises, even with full control, like the allegra. Or if you bruise easily, then even with control, you'll still bruise.
I recently got a really bad bruise from outside/inside switches b/c I put too much pressure on my hip bone instead of my flank area. Then decided to do antigravity a couple days later. NOT a good idea btw. lol!

Oh what the? I stopped watching after like season 3. This will draw me back in! T4p!

I do and watch more dance and transitions than tricks. Like some say, anyone can do tricks but not everyone can dance with that fluid movement.

Hot yoga 3x per week opened up my hips and hamstrings more than pole or stretching exercises ever did.
I highly suggest getting the Resistance Stretching DVD by Dara Torres. Heard it works for a lot of ppl. I’ve been doing just one quad stretch she posted on YouTube and that helps me loosen my hamstrings before class.

I agree with tiggertail. Wipes will dry out and vinegar on chrome is awesome. I brought my own stuff to a couple studios and they didn’t say anything to me, but my partners were thrilled! Lol!
I bought a small travel spray bottle from Harmon’s and poured the vinegar in there. So it’s easy to carry in my purse. Then i bring my own hand towel.
@MrsNaughtywed – Nice update! Was waiting on someone to post about powder coated. Guess it doesn’t clean the coat that well since it’s like a rubbery material? With brass, IMO it has the best grip with vinegar, in comparison to the rest of the metals. Flirty Girl uses brass and vinegar.

Straight distilled white vinegar (which is already diluted in water). But if you cant find that, then white vinegar and dilute it 50/50 with water.

I’m drawn to those with fluidity, sensuality and beauty in their movement, on the pole and on the floor. Definite faves are Jenyne Butterfly (LA Pole Show), Karol Helms (Wasted Pole Dance) and Barbara Dial (Pole Superstar).

Chem said the vinegar would not ruin TG. Just make it’s gold color fade faster than your hands would make it fade. Not so much, corrosion.

Master schedule, C&P away! So far, I'm in Jenyne's Thursday class. Then debating either Karol's or Marlo's Sunday class.

Clarifying, malt is different than white. http://www.differencebetween.net/object/comparisons-of-food-items/difference-between-white-and-malt-vinegar/
People also use cider vinegar to clean metals but this should be diluted to 75/25 if anything. It's very very strong compared to white vinegar.

Found this on wiki. I bolded the alternate names for white distilled vinegar:
Distilled vinegar
Any type of vinegar may be distilled to produce a colourless solution of about 5% to 8% acetic acid in water. This is variously known as distilled spirit or "virgin vinegar", or white vinegar, and is used for medicinal, laboratory and cleaning purposes as well as in cooking, baking, meat preservation, and pickling. The most common starting material, because of its low cost, is malt vinegar.

Yay for you! 7 inches is a GREAT achievement! Congrats!
Pole made me more fit, stronger, toned, increased stamina. Not so much weight loss for me. Then S Factor increased my confidence and sexuality. Plus I'm a wicked dancer at the clubs now. Hahahah! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

No wrists? Teddy… knee hold…. genie… drops…. Leg switches…. Falling star…
Lately I've been working on all except genie and drops. With leg switches, no hands inside leg hang/outside leg hang/opposite inside leg hang/opposite outside leg hang. The opposite side hurts like a @$^%#&!

With caterpillar, the points of contact should be between a little above your knees and the soft side parts of your calves. Not so much your feet & ankles. Try moving your knees a little past the pole so you're using your muscles, no bones.
Slide your no-handed inverted crucifix down to the floor and handstand from there. Then do what chemgoddess said. That way, your legs are already in position when you're practicing.
