    I have a 2014 chrome xpert and attend studios with earlier versions of chrome x perts and I can’t see any difference. All the poles need regular wiping down with alcohol and all need to be warmed up – by friction ie dancer climbing, spinning, sliding up and down for 10 mins to get grippy. Cold dancer on cold chrome – pole fail. Warm chrome and warmed up dancer – no probs. I still use grip though.

    Lucca lol, every time I go see a sports massage or chiro person they look at me and go ‘cross fit injury?’ And I have to explain, no, over training pole.

    Hah ha at the noodle struggling! It’s R for Rocketman today and tomorrow is S so shoulder mount, superman, Scorpio switches, scissor climb, swan – loads of choice for tomorrow. I will probably do scissor climb since it’s the most impressive and see if I can squeeze in something beginning with S at the top of the pole.

    I don’t have much time so mostly doing vid of stuff I can already do and concentrating on making it look good in a 15 sec clip combo. Have tried new stuff as a result though, just left the clips on my phone!

    😔😕 I’ve ruined the mystique now: every vid I post people will be going ‘oh there goes Tropical climbing pole in fancy way, invert into gemini, spin for aaaages, yawn, snore…’

    This is my go- to freestyle choreo

    1. Climb pole in fancy way pausing to do leg things, elbow grip arm things.

    2. Invert at top of pole into gemini. Spin round for aaaaages.
    Leg switches down a bit then
    A. Superman to Scorpio or gemini
    Or
    B. Flower spin to pike to jade back to pike.

    3. Flip into Goldrush/inverted thigh hold if room or handstand out. Or mermaid off and roll about a bit on floor

    4. Kneel up and spin up the pole (tuck or Jamilla)
    Stand behind pole throw shape (flatline descent and log roll/ arabesque to back bend, high kick or fan kick etc)
    5. Fan kick(s) to pole sit, scissor climb higher.
    Swan to drama queen to CAR.
    6. Brass monkey off or cartwheel or sit back up and either spin down with passé legs
    or go to figurehead – hangman – hood ornament
    7. Or climb up and finish with Brass Monkey Tumble (exciting drama ending) or if pole slippery, back into gemini and goldrush or gemini – butterfly – Jamilla – tuck (emo ending)
    8. If any music left, drop into splits then curl up in a ball (emo) or crawl about sexily then get back on pole for some kind of dramatic invert finale: just a basic plank or inverted crucifix is good.

    Fits most 3-4 minute songs lol.

    Yesssss! I can’t see what exercises he recommends but I was still supposed to he resting and healing shoulders when I was playing with this https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/545ac15d-6654-41a3-bb2f-5baf0a9aa0eb

    And I have not had trouble since I have been doing this – also plough and shoulder stand really help. Thanks Lucca for this. Am dying to see the actual exercuses niw!
