I’m 44. Restarted pole aged 42. You might find this thread interesting https://www.studioveena.com/forums/view/534f2546-1450-43f1-808f-22d60a9aa0eb

I’m pretty interested actually! I could wear socks under the boots lol! Are the boots grippy when you climb the pole though? I have a white knee length platform pair and they are some plastic material and slide right off so I can’t climb except scissor climb and can’t do Scorpio or any ankle/calf hold and it’s a massive pain. I have a US mailing address and a freight forwarder who would forward to me in the Caribbean…

Can you add in stuff to your stage show that’s less upper-body intensive? Leg hangs for example are dramatic but can be quite relaxing to just hang out in. Hip holds also give you a chance to be dramatic looking but take a breather while you do cool things with your arms and legs. Spin mode is your friend if your stage pole spins…

I did it…bit disappointed. Has the author any experience of pole? It reads like a parcel of prejudices, stereotypes and preconceptions wrapped up in an academic paper.
Most people as fat as I know are quite able to grasp that people can attend boxercise classes at the gym without it being synonymous with taking up cage fighting. Poling is now mainstream, taught in perfectly normal
gyms and dance studios alongside Zumba and TRX. And the survey also doesn’t even cover home polers who don’t attend classes.I dunno. What’s the survey trying to prove?

My most useful yoga flows are based round lizard. I go downward facing dog – plank – down dog – lunge – three legged dog – lizard lunge (foot next to little toe) – drop to forearm lizard lunge- then splits and general splits stretching.
Also warm up with salute to the sun with lots of down dogs, planks, cobras, chaturanga and updog,
And bridge/wheel/ fishpose things after doing body waves
And sirasana headstand drills

Ugh forearm and elbow grips ugh ugh caterpillar ugh. I tried hard, I tried both, they terrify me, I don’t feel safe, I fell out of extended butterfly from caterpillar and stopped poling for years and recently fell out if elbow grip Ayesha and the sprain still hasn’t healed so I gave up. Uploaded my basic butterfly instead, which is a spin in from inverted outside leg hook. Sorry.
