when i asked veena about this she said she likes both 45 better for things like spinning faster and certain mounts (pencil/jade/iguana whatever you refer to it as from floor) but things like jade split hurt alot more as there is a smaller pont of pressure think of a skinny bar being pressed into your chest compared to a 4×4 size bar with the bigger object the pressure is distibuted more evenly as oppsed to being so concentrated at 1 point i think 50 is better unless you have really small hands as learning on a 45 than trying to do it on a standard 50 can be difficult

you also have to be aware of your bones pole dancing isnt all muscle it’s important to have strong bones as well sounds like you may have done a little damage to bone in forarm not bad actually good as long as you let it heal and dont push it you actually stregthen bones with weight bearing activites (it’s why astranauts have to do special weight bearing actives after returning from space no gravity/weight being beared actually makes the bones soft just like with muscles, if done properly and not overdone, the bone gets "damaged" -don’t know what other word to use and like muscle as they repair tiny tears ect they actually build stronger ) like so many things in life, if it doesnt break you, you rise up stronger than before) if just putting a little pressure hurts sounds like the equvilant of shin splints rest it til it feels better has happened to me to and always feel better in 3-4 days of not using be sure to get plenty of vitamin D (great for healthy bones but also amzing for lots of other health benefits) hope this helped https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

yes pandora is free internet radio you type in an artist or song and it will paly that song or music by that artist
than it creates a station that plays music that is similar to what you picked so if you typed in pussycat dolls you may end up with a station that plays missy elliot, britney spears, ect you can create a bunch of diffrent stations am actually listening to it now great resource for song ideas
expert village is a series of online tutorials they have pole dancing but is aimed at beginners and i don’t paticulary care for their pole videos

see im not sure i can get up by crossing ankles and sitting up not bc of lack of ab strength bc can do it no problem w/boots (can actually do sit ups on pole w/boots) but cant seem to find a secure grip with legs to actually allow myself to sit up w/o sliding down think i can go down way went up was able to do bow & arrow and come out with arms holding on pole in B&A position and letting body fall of pole backwards i’m just afraid i’ll get into it and fall on my head is there anyway to sort of practice or do you just have to go for it ?
( like how you can practice some moves by doing an easier version) https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_colors.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_nemo.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_chef.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_safesex.gif (just wanted to use some faces that never get used https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_albino.gif ) -
i have done the shoulder mount but sometimes i cant as can’t figure out how to grip with legs/feet my ceiling is so low i can’t stretch my legs up much so it can be tough once i get a vid you will be able to see what i mean as its hard to explain i use a diffrent grip than that off the 1 in vid or veena uses i use the grip used in leigh anns or bobbi’s videos spilt fingers on top hand can’t wait to get better at basic sh. mt so can try these variations thanks for the link https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumleft.gif

thats what i was wandering i was thinking this can’t really what people are going through while they do knees and smile whole time https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif i thought there might be a slightly less painful way to get into it i was def putting all the pressure right on my shin bone very very painful ( and i am not usually one to avoid a move bc of pain as know it gets easier) i think it’s 1 of the most impressive moves and would really like to learn it if anyone has any "insider tips" on how to make it a little less painful i would greatly appreciate it https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

well haven’t tried the "snap & spin" yet, but am getting braver have a decent amount to post now as far as video will be in the form of clips (very very random i may be wearing a 1 outfit playing a song, than i’ll be walking to camera to turn off, than there i am in diffrent clothes/song, than will cut back to original song/clothes ) it’s a little all over the place, but i did use a prop – long neclace did remix songs, and was in heels for some so did fit some challenges in am going to best buy this weekend to speak with someone about the problems i am having w/posting even though it’s frustrating i feel alot better after reading the suggestions i was given i know its possible it’s just a matter of knocking on enough doors til i find the 1 that works am not working today til 1130p ( have been working crazy hrs lately ) so am planning on taping some stuff to add to vid snowy day mine as well am planning on posting the 1st week of feb. should have enough vid by than can post a half way decent length vid https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

came up with my own little handstand variation https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif but of course i had just shut off camera bc was getting frustrated trying to do shoulder mount https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif ( like the chopper& butterfly i can do sometimes but not always) had a good practice today https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif i have been going on pole and taping a little everyday so can post at end of month everything is really random so have to go look at challenge list and pick one so am not just aimless clips still dont have a solution for posting, but think will be ok am going to talk to someone at best buy about suggestions i was given so we’ll see pics will be up tommorow if all goes well https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_salut.gif
