It looks like Marlo is switching from inside leg hang to opposite outside leg hang and monkey climb.

Besides tricks, most proud of "getting out there". Media wise, I'm in a lot this year.
CBS Sunday Morning Show (USPDF/NYPD), Travel Bum: I Think I'm In Love: Episode 1 (Body & Pole), News 12 Get Fit Fridays (Go Diva), Exotic Curves Fitness's website (intro page and soon to be more), APFC's Best of the Red Carpet highlights, Rodney James' testimonials, Body & Pole's 1st place costume, Svedka Vodka's Hottest Bot, Shoeholics short film, NJ Monthly magazine.
And I'm the Tite Grip CEO's right-hand lady. 😉

Aerial TG lift, aerial SM lift, and FULL splits on both sides. :DDDDDD
2012, give me a phoenix and center split, PLEASE! LOL!

Just try to straighten your leg and hold with your ankle when you're in butterfly. Instead of going straight into it, get the jist of it first.

Same problem! I need black XS. Anyone willing to sell theirs or know if their studio has them in stock?

Had it, watched it about 3-4 times. Never opened it since. I prefer Veena’s lessons as Pocket Pole doesn’t have specific directions.

@Madfelice – Unfortunately Tite Grip INTL in AUS doesn’t have the new formula yet. Only http://www.titegrip.com and select studios so far. I think the only person in AUS that has a new formula tube is Allegra. Haha so if you see her, ask!
@tarah – It might be your body reacting differently to the acidity, or the humid climate needs more of a alkaline base like alcohol. iTac is the worst for me as I not only slip and reapply between each move, I sweat right through it. I might try Pole Physics body lotion next for that. Also the Tite Grip packaging does not say lavender or 2 bc the name was changed after the fact.

Update on this: For the past couple months, I’ve been using Tite Grip II lavender with white distilled vinegar. The ultimate combination for super sweaty hands. I apply it 30-60 minutes before warmups for pole and it kicks in. Tite Grip II lasts so much longer, dries clear, lavender smell, less reapplying, no transfer, no sweaty hands, no slipping. Still swear by white distilled vinegar. After warmups, I rub the pole hard with the hand towel (sprayed with white distilled vinegar) to break down and remove previous grip aid and lotion transfer.

Don’t think, just LET GO. Let go of your mind and follow your body. Feel your surroundings and textures of the floor or wall. Let her move without planning or thinking of the next move. Feel your body and curves, play with your hair. Let your body be messy. Don’t think, just flow.

I’m the most impatient person when it comes to tennis elbow… so I treat it within 2-4 days, no weeks or months here. My secret connoction:
– Counterstretch frequently, every few hours. Stand up, right arm straight with inner wrist to wall, facing the left, twist your body back while stretching out your bicep/inner elbow. Hold for 1-2 minutes. Then switch sides. Repeat twice.
– Lower bicep/massage once daily.
– Rest!!! Avoid pole or any strenuous activity for 3-4 days.
– Naproxen 550mg (or Advil) twice daily (also good for shoulder pain)
– Robaxin (or flexeril) muscle relaxant at night (also good for shoulder pain)Once I also tried moxa heat therapy with an acupuncturist and it worked too! But in conjunction with everything else.

@lilblondie – Good to hear it wasn’t at Derick’s but sad to hear your injury is still lingering. 🙁 Whenever I pull a muscle, if counterstretching doesn’t work, I pop robaxin or flexaril twice daily for 1-2 days and strain is gone.
@Derick – Awe you’re like the sweetest guy ever! Good bumping into you a lot that weekend. Will take one of your classes next time you’re in town. Xoxo. P.S. I swear I’m not obsessed with the men’s bathroom. Lol!

@Cherished – No but that’s another good stretch too. You’ll actually get more stretch doing that way but standing split with your hands pushing the floor to make your body closer to the wall.
The one I was talking about in my previous post was where you are in a split on the floor, with your back knee and shin against the pole/wall. Front leg is straight. Then just arch back and grab your foot or pole. Emil Valentino taught this.

The one thing embedded in my mind from all flexy gurus is NEVER STICK TO THE SAME ROUTINE EVERY TIME. If you’re always focusing on same hamstrings and same hip flexor stretch, it’ll make you less flexy. Change up the routine or split your current routine into 2-3 different sections, work on diff areas of the body, even quads bc that helps with splits too.
Try over splits with yoga blocks, even if you can’t full split. Adds more pressure to the hip flexors. And split with knee against the pole/wall, back leg bent, and grabbing foot to head. I just got full front splits a couple weeks ago bc of that one. Serious deep stretching.
