This thread is making me feel gloomy.
I have ordered a chrome 45 xpert after endless angst because
A. Is what I train on at studios
B. is available now from xpole us vs waiting til mid June
C. I have heard things about TG not being great in humidity/ colour fading and brass being too soft and flexi/getting damaged/needing too much cleaning.But I still wish I was getting a TG.
I hope my chrome breaks in with all the vinegar/rubbing alcohol/new x pole cleaner I’m planning on using…It’s 80of here and sticky all year.
I hope my new pole is grippy enough… -
Ooooh! Well done! 🙂 flexi-fantastic and much less complicated than her way.
-
I think she does…
Outside leg hang like she’s about to Cupid
Bend bottom leg into knee grip and adjust hands to flag hold whilst getting into splits
Let go with arms
POC upper calf, side of torso, armpit hold and brace with bottom foot. -
It’s got to be that youtube one. ^^^
It’s completely mental.
It looks amazing. -
Might be worth remembering to go out wearing decoy gym sneakers and packing booty shorts in bag or wearing under gym leggings! Heh heh…

I’m going to a strength/flexibility conditioning class usually covers it for me.
‘Oh, body weight resistance exercises, mostly. Crunches. Pull ups on a bar. Stretching….’Most people glaze over quite quickly.

Hello – maybe check this thread?

I had this (still get it if I don’t concentrate). Lots of pole tucks, pull ups and making sure I was correctly positioned – see Veena and Ariael Amy chopper lessons. Knees to elbows, pole in soft ‘hip pocket’ not on ribs and standing slightly in front of pole. If your tuck pull up isn’t controlled or you jump into inverts you will likely hurt yourself so steady and do all the strengthening prep to stay safe!
Basically revisit Veena and do these exercises

Lululemon is popular here but not cheap…

I hadn’t done mixed levels before I moved here but I think it can work very well – definitely if everyone is taking a basic move and then more advanced students adding to it – like basic stag spin/sun wheel then the experienced students try it one-armed, or backwards, or extending leg or whatever, then everyone tries linking/floor work/transitions. That way new students can see what the basic move can develop into and the more advanced students can return to basic spins but with perfect form and added twists. The challenge is if half the class wants to invert and do tricks and the new ones are still struggling to climb or sit. An instructor can’t spot everyone at once!

Ok that worked

I will have a go…

You know, I couldn’t do a headstand when I was 20. Lost my splits at 30. Spent my mid thirties overweight and out of condition. Thought it was all down hill into elastic waistbands, flat shoes, one pieces and sarongs on the beach, middle aged spread and needing help to open jar lids.
Ha! Now in my 40s I wear 6 inch heels, whilst inverted in a string bikini top and hot pants. I can climb a pole at the playground using just arms and you need that jar unscrewed? Stand back baby. Thank you pole! Rock on thread contributors. Mwah xx you are awesome and magnificent. Thank you all 🙂
