Lucca awesome post.

It’s usually a sign of an over tightened x pole.
Try slightly loosening it so it’s not braced so tight against ceiling. X joints should be equally tightened and make sure the little line and key symbol at base are lined up if a 2014 model. You can contact x pole for advice too. -
Just found a bunch of Cleo vids including 5 favourite ways to invert (all on spin) which has some great ideas. I think it was Lina who told me Scorpio spins work forwards and Gemini backwards and you can see Cleo working that rule…fabulously!

All done!
Before and after.
Thanks Veena and everyone else who did it for the inspiration. 🙂
I am actually heavier a month later but much stronger and still fit same jean shorts so maybe I muscled up a bit?

One more day left…:)
How’s everyone doing? -
I tend to go round and round the same way so I try to forward think it a bit and start off with a combo going the other way. Example: tuck spin into thigh rest/apprentice sequence, then dismount and make shapes against pole/on floor, then remount and go my preferred way which lets me do my usual swan to car, back to plank, or gemini to butterfly/gemini to jade/pike/tuck blah blah on my right (dominant side).
I’m working on some combo choreo which can be done going the other way; Scorpio works best spinning forwards and gemini works spinning backwards.
I find I do the same combos every time which is is boring. So I think taking time to pre think is a v good idea.
Glad to hear you’re dream-dancing again!

Permanent mount will make 4 x small screw holes which you can easily fill in with a dab of whatever…ceiling dome may leave a mark that looks like a shadow. There are threads on ceilings and x-poles here – worth searching? The main thing is to get it securely under a ceiling stud. If it’s not positioned right it not only runs the risk of damaging the ceiling but of injuring you, possibly badly.

Well if you ordered the TG 45 m x pole you can take it up and down as you like. It is a bit of a hassle to get it straight though; a permanent mount might make it easier?
Do you live in a shared space? So you’re shy about practising where there’s others who might watch? Or do you have a space but not enough space to move around the pole? You need to be able to touch with your hand and walk round with other arm outstretched and not hit walls/furniture.

Ps: I wore them when I was UK size 16 and I still wear them now; they are like a second skin. But not see through! Yay! 🙂

I am pretty sure UnderArmour compression shorts can be found in UK, they are pretty good – comfy and sporty, supportive, flattering, lots if sizes, make your shape sleek and no flashing crotch worries – if anything they can be bit too much coverage but can be moved up and down if you need more skin.
