I wasn’t either. I was agreeing with you! 😛

Pt- That’s a more accurate description. Armpit crease.

I just spent HOURS looking for the first pole video I’ve ever recorded- June 2007. It is TERRIBLE quality/filming and my song tastes have significantly changed, but I’m super excited to do this. I have participated in challenges but never posted one… Now I’m really tempted.

Caved and bought it. Thanks for the reviews!

http://xpoleus.com/store/extension-45mm-chrome-1000mm-p-584.html They’re only $32 +s&h from xpole. I don’t know if anyone’ll sell it much cheaper than that!

I also have them. I love them when my wrists are sore, but not during pole! handstands, yoga, some floorwork.

Platinum- I reverse climb with forearm grip and it does end up in the armpit a bit.

Loved loved loved Absinthe!!

The department I’ve been working with has all female physicians, so I guess my view of it is probably skewed.

Lil’ red- I hope you don’t think that of all doctors. I don’t know a single sports med doc that is biased towards football/men. In fact, most sports med docs I know hate (some even discourage) football. Telling you to stop doing something usually factors in many issues, such as allowing time for healing and decreasing inflammation(obviously) and reason for doing your sport (pleasure vs. income). Most sports docs will try anything they can before saying “just stop doing it.”

Saphyre: The subluxing tendon is very different (and much more rare) from a tendinitis which is a more typical injury. Subluxing tendons generally require surgery to fix, which has its own downsideds. That being said, rest and PT probably wouldn’t hurt, and may help some, but it won’t STOP the tendon from subluxing. That’s what she meant by “there really is no good treatment”.

Sorry for the defensiveness. I’m training to be a sports med doc so I see the other side of the coin.

I was talking with a sports med doc- She said if it’s ventral then its a flexor tendon instead of the extensor. She said there’s not really a good treatment for it but would recommend some type of compression brace to improve stability.

Sparrow- Any updates on the Get Bent dvd?

Everyone’s different. I love a dirty pole (as long as it’s not dirty with lotion!).

[korinne]

Polefitmom- having trouble picturing this. Can you post a video?

[korinne]

Thanks, but not looking specifically, just if something catches my eye! I have a pole in perfectly fine condition. I just like buying new toys!
