    Thank you for replying Cali!

    Ill have to check to see if I can do the times as I live in Australia… I hope I can!!! Thanks for your help… Hopefully I can get to know some girls on here better so I can ask to Skype with them…

    Not quite ready for a jam yet as I am still a beginning and don’t know enough moves to freestyle yet!

    I use dry hands on brass poles as my hands slip a little but jeez I stick to brass like crazy sometimes sliding down hurttttsss…

    I also use dry hands on my TG xpole and it works great too. I also hairspray my pole for extra grip sometimes 🙂

    August 22, 2013 at 7:14 pm in reply to: Finally.. The answer to sweaty hands

    I have a  medical problem called Hyperhydrosis which is excess sweating of the hands and feel ALL the time, not just while poling. To put it this way, if I put my hand down on a normal piece of printer paper, I'll soak it right through.

    What works for me is Dri-Chlor which is very strong anti perspirant deoderant. I put this on my hands and feet every second night when I get in bed and it dries and stops my hands sweating completely!
     
    I know for a lot of people this may be extreme, but vinger, windex, anything doesn't work for me while poling. I use dri hands which helps my grip while poling too.

    Mine creaks too!
    And I find it spins so so much faster than the permanent ones at my studio… I sort of have my screws tightened half way between spin and static. Although, even when mine is on static it still spins a bit :/

    mine is on carpet too and I didn't measure it or anything… I was determined to get it up without the help of a male so I did it in like 20 mins and mine is fine. It sometimes gets loose so I just tighten it up a bit.

    I don’t have access to a gym and can’t afford it so I can’t do weighted squats

    I have big thighs AND a big stomach… Sometimes I swear the top of my body belongs to someone else because from my head to my waist I am toned and thin… Then below that my gut and thighs are like HELLO.

    want to get my invert! I've only been poling for a couple of weeks (I bought a pole at home and taught myself some moves). Now I've started lessons people don't get how I am able to do the splits and all sorts of things but can't invert…

    Hi Veena! Thanks for your links! I should've mentioned that I have been doing these lessons but have no luck with my middle split improving. I feel like one of my muscle groups is tight and stopping me from doing it but I cannot work out which one!

    I have also been foam rolling and its helped to relieve muscle pain and my front splits…Maybe I am just impatient lol

    Front/side splits took me 3 weeks to get after not doing them for a few years. Middle splits I've never had and am currently struggling with them.
