oh i hope it'll be okay. i've contacted x pole and asked if i should get one 1000 mm extension, rather than using a 750mm and a 250mm, so i'll see what they say.
i already bought the 750mm though, so i hope they let me exchange it if the other one is better!

i think ill be using 4 pieces?
A pole + B pole + 750mm + 250mm …?
that's what the diagram said to use! 🙁
i won't really have the room to do spins on it so i'll mostly be using it for strength training and practicing… as long as i dont go too hardcore it should be okay?

remi sit freaking KILLS!
i am going to try doing it with more weight against that top thigh, becuase it does not feel right having alll that weight on my ankle 🙁

so many nemisis moves atm that i'm working on, but i'm struggling with TG SM into butterfly. dropping my head and my hand down the pole frightens me haha! i can do a normal butterfly fine, i think this one is merely a fear barrier that i need to work on ..
and not pole-specific but the splits!! i stretch, and stretch, and am still like half a metre off the ground 🙁

Flexibility is my main hindrance in pole. I have never been able to do the splits. I had a shoulder dislocation when I was 15 that totally messed u my right rotator cuff so i have limited mobility in that shoulder, which is making it difficult now that I’m in the advanced class at my studio.
I also refereed soccer for 6 years, which as you can imagine, involved running for about 16 hours every weekend, leading to incredibly tight hammies and calves. So I’m working on those. I’m stretching every night and attending yoga classes.
It canbe discouraging though because every mm in flexibility that you gain is a mile, but its so small and slow it can be frustrating! -
I lasered my underarms and Brazilian (although I still have quite a lot of hair in a triangle above the pubic bone…if anyone wants me to elaborate on this i can haha)
I have pretty bad eczema on my legs. I used to wax pretty often but I ran out of wax a while ago and haven’t bought more. Occasionally ill shave but that irritates my eczema. So most of the time i walk around with hairy legs haha! -
Yep, I use shaving cream for my legs to stick on brass. (And chrome) . or a little spritz of hairspray also works. For my hands…it depends on the weather, but mostly I use dry hands if i need it. If I’m really sweaty or clammy ill use tite grip. Honestly I prefer dry hands and shaving cream combo.i know that at some competitions they apply dry hands straight to the brass pole, but I’ve never done that because I’ve felt no need

I've never had this problem…I can't invert yet, but I can go into a flag and hold it for a few seconds…
Your boobs are supposed to be on the side of the pole, if you're not pushing your body out far enough then they will probably get in the way. I don't understand why some of you are getting marks on your chest? Unless I'm thinking of something completely different?

@tacha666 – can you do a normal butterfly? i'd start with that and then move to extended butterfly 🙂
-
omg yes!! im trying so hard to do an inverted pencil (not sure what everyone calls it, but when you hold an upside down pencil in split grip)
im strong enough and feel secure enough but its like my ankle is too scared to let go of the pole haha!

Sometimes I look at the older ladies in my class and just think "wow. they must feel so amazing. their bodies have (in some cases) double my age in experience on them and they're doing these amazing things".
Pole is awesome 😀

What a fantastic thread idea!!
Hmmm…
1. I like my toned arms.
2. I like that I'm now muscley, and I like that I'm no longer striving for "skinny"
3. I really like how my boobs have grown in the past 12 months.
Pole:
1. I love my superman
2. I love that I'm getting better with linking longer and longer sequences together…yayyy for endurance!
3. I'm also so proud of myself for getting handstands and elbow stands! They were beyond a challenge for me, and I finally got there…yay for hard work and perseverance!!
