    I view things a little different…as you move through your life, keep trying….you will learn more from your "faliures" than your successes…If we are not "failing" sometimes you are not trying hard enough.. Be glad that you got out there and were willing to give it your all and with each step you will get closer to your "wins" and "successes." It's all part of the journey, and rememeber, this feeling and knowledge that you have gained from your experience will help you again in the future.. maybe it is knowledge for yourself or maybe it is knowledge that you will be able to give to someone else. The best teachers are not always the best "doers" and vice/versa..Some of the most proficient athletes at their sport are not great teachers of their sport.

    so…dust of those wings and fly again sweetie!

    I would speculate that Pole would follow more of the "fitness figure competition" types of trianing methods. etc..excessive dieting and estrogen lowering type products to help create a leaner figure. Hopefully, we as a Pole community, will be able to maintain the intergrity of the sport and be able to imbrace all aspects of it….grace, strength, flexibilty, (even aging polers should have their spot light), in men and women too. I think many polers out there are very healthy, and imbrace a more holistic lifestyle. I also see in the big competions…that is obvious that the girls are not taking enhancement types of products…just look at their bodies? the skin is not too thin and they maintain their femine features. Look at female figure and body builders….there is an absolute difference in their "look"

    I'm also curious why so many polers want this in the olympics.. I too want this sport to be respected as a legimate sport and fitness type of endeavor….but there will be A LOT of boundries and rules put on the sport if that happens.. In my opion…do we view Pole as gymnastics (olympic sport) or as a type of Dance (ballet, hip-hop, salsa, tango…ect…these are not olympic sports) I was a gymnast  (not olympic of course)….but I view Pole as an artistic type of dance.

    definelty wait until those ribs have healed before you try to do any stretching or anything. Stepping down too hard can move the ribs and interfere with the mending process.

    I cracked two ribs and it took a very long time to heal, because it is very hard to hold still enough for the ribs to mend. It took me 6 monhs to recover from that.. Take the time now. i think once I was fully committed to getting it healed it took 6 weeks and then very light activity for a couple months after that. Even rolling over in your sleep  or walking can interfer with the mending of the bone.

    I only mean dont over grab on the invert to that you dont land on your hand. I think Chem has the right idea about practicing from the ground first.

    I mean by "over grab" is wrapping your hand around the pole too much. I would land on my (outside) hand in gemini all the time at  first until I figured out I was grabbing all the way around the pole too much.

    and what do you want to do after you reach up and grab the pole?

    Ps. Side slimbing is very difficult to do well, dont pass judgement so fast because of that move.

    I'm sure you will adapt. I actually have monkey arms, because my waste is really short. I would just look at it as you have a long torso…Which is going to help you out in so many ways! Everyone has a move that is just not appropriate for their body. You will figure it out and go with the moves that are. Even the "great ones" have their limitations because of their conformation. Capitolize on your strengths and remember it is all "relative" and make the move your own.

    away from the pole…If you are "square" it wont lock in your grip as well and your wont be able to give the illusion of a full flat split.
