Chemmie why the heck did you have to tell me that? That’s just mean.

A physical therapist is the best possible route for sciatica. My SO was crippled with acute sciatica that lasted over a year to the point where he needed a cane at 25 y/o. He tried chiropractic, which actually made it so much worse that he was bed-bound. When he went to physical therapy, he was back at work and school with about 90% recovery within ONE WEEK.

D’oh, just realized you had already tried brass. I read that wrong at first and thought you said you had chrome in the studio. My bad!

If you typically sweat a lot I would try out a brass pole before you buy one. As slippery as chrome is for me, brass is almost worse because my hand sweat feels like lube on a brass pole and yet when it gets warm if there are not sweaty parts on my body they will stick TOO much and it feels like my skin will rip.
In general I suggest you try out finishes before you get them. But if you have super sweaty hands as I do, you may want to think twice about brass.

I definitely feel the superman in my glutes when I do Amber’s variation, it has an upswept back leg that’s basically tantamoun to doing a leg lift on the pole. And just climbing is good for legs and booty as well.
But I do firmly believe in doing boring old leg work: squats, abductor/adductor, calves, etc. I’ve found pole has always left my upper body and core sore, but I didn’t get the booty results I wanted until I specifically worked on my legs. I just don’t think most pole moves will do for the lower body what they do for the upper body, but doing the lower body workouts does definitely transfer back to pole and make a lot of things feel easier. I hate squats too, but I know they’re worth it. My last few videos all have comments about my butt asking me what I do, the answer is sadly squats.

Umm WOW, I’ve never seen this apparatus before. But, when I searched it on YT, this is what I got. It’s from cirque du soleil:

By the way I have to say it’s such a credit to Amber that those of use who are so inflexible have had such rewarding experiences w/ her since she’s rather flexy herself yet she totally “gets” the perspective of the unflexy person.

I agree 100%, I got that same lesson from Amber and it has saved me a lot of pain and self loathing.
For example the jade. I can’t do anywhere near a flat jade and when I try it looks like crappy poo poo. But I can hit that stag jade/half hip hold every time and extend fully into it and make it pretty. Doesn’t mean I can’t work on my splits but for show purposes do the moves you know you look beautiful on your body as it is now.

I'm afraid I can't comment on the socks, but I will say that I've protected my foot for a few long sessions with tape. Bondage tape works great. Just a wrap around the arch of the foot seems to do the job great for me.

Ooh also, 18′ ceilings PLEASE tell me you’re getting an aerial rig. Please oh please. Do it for both of us!

Freaking double post, sorry!

X-pole calls this their “competition/studio” setup I believe, it’s not listed as something for purchase on the website itself but rather something they mention that you can do specially, so you’ll definitely need to call or email. I’m sure if you tell them your ceiling height they’ll just set you up with everything you need.

I haven’t looked into any other particular models of camera yet since it’s not financially feasible for me to buy another one right now.
I also don’t know anything about video cameras so I don’t really know how to search for what I want. I may look it up on Consumer Reports, they always have a good breakdown of the different models they test and I’m sure they’ve probably compared the flip to other cameras.
