I know it has several entries, from an Inverted Crucifix, Ayesha even scorpio using a football grip. I believe the common name is just football grip. A lot of moves are just variations of things so many don’t have official names.

The best thing you can do is rest! I know it seems like trying to do something all the time is the best way to learn but it isn’t necessary. When it comes to the body rest is equally as important as “doing”. Trying some hooping or floor work is a good plan! 😉
I don’t recommend trying to climb every day for this reason. I suggest no more than 10 attempts per session, this is to help prevent excessive bruising. REST!!!!! 🛌 Don’t do any more climbs until the pain from the bruise is gone. There are still lots of other pole work you can work on while you wait. Once you do go back to climb practice ice the shin and foot right away after just to be sure it doesn’t aggravate it. If it feels fine then no need for ice.
Some people swear by Arnica cream but I’ve never used it.
That’s super cool about your friend, we are still the most trafficked pole dance website in the world! People just don’t interact like they use to back in the day. lol

There are companies that do offer wide heels which might help. Here’s another thread with some links for wide feet. https://www.studioveena.com/forums/view/Dance_Heels_20200723052426

Sorry I don’t…I hope xpole gets back to you quick!

I’m glad he feels there’s no tear! Also happy to hear you shared my lessons and he approves!

Ugh, that’s no fun! Hopefully the new lessons help make shoulder/scapula placement in different arm positions more clear!

Hi! There’s a lot more to grip than skin contact so it sounds like it’s more of a technique issue. Depending on the move you might need to REALLY tip the hips like in pole sit. I’ve got a to of helpful info in the CKR CAR and Planks lessons. If you’re trying to do any kind of laybacks with hips level its going to be a challenge.

Hmmm. I’ve used a flathead screw driver to pry the top off once.

I usually have to wiggle mine back and forth real hard. My older xpoles all have. Little rubber around it inside. I can’t remember what my new one is like.

I’m not sure who sells them anymore.

I know a lot of people buy online. I prefer a strap on my heels. Pleaser is a popular brand, at least in the U.S.

I was just talking about selling one of my x stages. I’ve got too many poles! I’ve been on the fence about letting one stage go…but if someone needs it that might help!
It’s a first generation x stage, 45 or 50 mm chrome pole. I’ll have to look at the pole to refresh my memory and confirm the diameter. Let me know if your interested. I’m in Vegas!

It’s 2 to 3 days because your muscles need time to recover. Rest is just as important at training for both flexibility and strength gains.
