    December 3, 2009 at 8:47 pm in reply to: Chrome vs. TG?

    i haven’t used my TG xpole enough to see fading. I like it better then chrome cuz I can grip it, plus when friends are over its easy for them. was at a party and they hired a instructor to teach pole dancing, she brought the 50mm chrome, and everyone couldn’t spin https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif cuz it was slippery. So I went with the family idea of TG haha. the only thing I dont like about it other then the color, is that sometimes my hands feel raw and burned. but that could just be poles in general when doing spins. if i ever have the money in the future I want a 45mm chrome one, just to have and practice on.

    Based on Rubberstarlets pic of the gemini…a few tips that may help any of you.

    1. Hips: not only get your hips closer to the pole, but your tummy needs to face more toward the ceiling. You seem to be twisting your hips/torso a bit toward the pole. Belly button should be UP.

    2. Back leg: Should be DIRECTLY behind you. This is difficult to figure out when you’re upside down and don’t have someone to guide you but if you’re leg goes at all out to the side (in your case out to your right side) you do not provide opposing pressure.

    The weight of your extended back leg provides a counter pressure to pull the hooked knee more firmly onto the pole

    Additionally – if you extend that back leg straight out rather than bending the knee you will also create more pressure againts the hooked knee.

    3. Hooked knee: as said before, get the toe pointed closer to the floor. Your hooked knee should be turned toward you so that the pole and your knee look like the numeral "4"

    4. A bare torso helps to add grip to the pose.

    thanks! I’ll practice on that. Just seems my hands slip and I cant do it right now. maybe just practice right now on griping with legs?

    haha didn’t want to start a new thread! I seem to be struggling alot, I’ve been on and off the pole, and have yet to progress to advance spins. I’m practicing on cross leg release holds, but haven’t completed it https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif I can do a basic invert but cant hold on for long. I shy when it comes to posting progress vids because I feel I’m not cool enough ha. I have seen others progress so well since i became a member here. And I’m still stuck on fireman spins >_< ughhh I get frustrated to easy!

    i need help with this move O_O maybe I’m not strong enough? I do my invert, and it seems like my leg wont bend over the pole. Also I’m holding onto the pole for dear life with my hands! Very rarely it feels like my legs gripping at all. I look at the picture in my profile and I’m trying to figure out what to do

    YUP! This is exactly what happens to me! just sort of hang there wondering if I will ever be able to take my hands off..thus… crash mat pondering. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

    November 16, 2009 at 12:59 am in reply to: What size pole do you all use?

    I used a 50mm. you get used to it. I’ve been on a 45mm and It was faster to spin and grip with. but I couldent hang on with my thighs for climbs. i’m sure if I practiced on it I could. But I already got used to 50mm.
