Chemmie- Any opinions on the new 4.0 PS SSA? I have yet to see any discussion on it yet.

(I just bought a brand new PS pole in June and it's still being unused because it's not correct and will not be replaced.)

I have been a loyal customer to PS for years and have referred MANY friends and students. I switched to lil' mynx a month ago because PS's customer service is so terrible. I still think their poles are my favorite to work on but I just can't support their business anymore.

I agree with Sparrow. I have my students practice headstands/tripods to learn their inverted core balance and how to regain balance if you start to lose it. Once you're comfy with that, ayesha feels so much better!

A lot of products on Amazon and Shoebuy will have free shipping for returns/exchanges for boots that don't fit. CapFeb is right; go a size up if you're in question! Boots won't stretch.

How does your doctor not know? Often night sweats can be a symptom of a sudden decrease in estrogen which is what happens during your period. Other hormonal factors (which can be related to such things as stress and diet habits) can also contribute – which may relate to who experiences this and when.

Tried both. I should clarify- I'm terrified of split grip ayesha on spin.

BTW- I'm not saying you have stubby arms and legs. I'm saying I do.

ThunderKat- I know exactly what you're talking about and I think it might just be our body type. :/ Long torso, short stubby legs and arms. No matter what I do, this move hurts and never looks good. I don't ever do it except when I'm teaching it and even then I give disclaimers that this move is not right for everyone. Some people it just seems to "fit". Other seem to have terrible pain and even rib fractures even if done in "the pocket"

I also have people practice a regular scorpio with a lower elbow hook to get used to getting into that position. When the elbow hook scorpio is easy, transition to ankle grab on the opposite side of the pole. *if that makes no sense, I can try to get vid on Thurs.

It's all about good placement and I think body shape does have something to do with it. I have a very long torso compared to legs and this move is difficult for me. Back flexibility is important, but it also has to do with positioning of the pole relative to your ribs. It typically puts a lot of pressure on my lower ribs and I've known a lot of people to get rib injuries from this move. So be careful and make sure the pole is positioned low in your waist so it doesn't put ungodly amounts of pressure on your ribs. The flatline transition should help with that. I also encourage people not to practice it too much in the beginning, slowly building up to it to avoid repetitive stress injuries to ribs.

Ballerina would put your inside leg on the wrong side of the pole. :/

If I say 'cartwheel' I mean what veena means for cartwheel. Handspring is my generic way of saying any way of getting up into a pole handstand sort thing. Everyone uses different terms!
-
The fake xpole I saw was much more obviously fake. I know that doesn't help, but the packaging/carrying case looks correctish. (I haven't owned an xpert in 4 years so I don't know what the V is about. The pole I bought 7 years ago didn't have a V but that may have changed.) I'd ask for a side pic of the top plate. Or just go for it. Looks pretty real to me.

Make sure you're up to date on your tetanus shots! 🙂
