No there are poles like xpole and lupit that do not require any drilling no damage as long as you use them correctly! These removable poles come with domes that hold it in place as you increase the tension. Home pole dancers have been using this style of pole for what 15 yrs or so. No drilling.
We don’t own a home but and I put poles all over the place, no problem lol. If you do want to invest in a permanent mount (it goes on the ceiling and the top of the pole slides into it instead of using the dome that comes with the pole) it’s easy to patch the few screw holes.
All of my videos are done on this style of pole, I’ve had about 12 poles different sizes, finishes and styles.
Lupit (I’ve not tried this brand but hear good things) https://www.amazon.com/LUPIT-POLE-CLASSIC-STAINLESS-1-65in/dp/B01JM3C6SY

I hope you get it worked out!

The few times I’ve been to pole jams with other dancers I’ve often managed moves I wasn’t able to alone. Then when I go back home it *poof* vanishes…however it does come back when I practice. I’m guessing adrenaline plays a big part when you’re with others. We don’t want to look dumb, we try harder in front of others, we get excited and don’t overthink as much as when we are alone. I was always able to lift heaver and longer when I went to the gym until I got into my own groove of working out at home.

It’s not practical to put it up and down….it’s heavy and can be challenging to get the metal pie pieces to line up. I break a sweat everytime and it takes about 15 to 20 minutes by the time you take things out of bags and such. It’s better to leave it up. Is there a reason you can’t use a removable pole?

If you heard and felt a pop go see a DR or PT.
-
Can I ask how you liked the pole? Why are you selling 🙂
-
If you over tighten it can bow and then feels funky….I would take it down again and set it back up. Also maybe someone at the party caused the pole to bow if they were spinning wildly on it, I’ve had that happen to my brass. I was so disappointed, it still spins but not like it did.

Here are things that can help the home poler!
Find a good play list of music.
Start one of my programs here, or pick a routine to work on each day.
Follow a challenge (I do IG challenges)
Reward yourself after you finish practice
Make your pole space nice
If you have a short pole work on low pole flow. -
That’s great!!!
-
You could try any of these suggestions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kvzZndaick

This would be a great option for this Fridays IG live!!!!!
Have you done any of the conditioning work or stretches for the shoulders on a regular yet? They can really help, because you need both strength and flexibility to have a healthy shoulder. This has got me ready to make some notes for Friday!!!!!!!

I do suggest the 30 day take off I designed it for people who have taken time off or have never poled before. It’s easy, just follow what I want you to do each day, you don’t have to plan anything for yourself! You could try some of the routines found in the routine section too.

Multiple studies find that sugar is one of the worst things for us. That doesn’t mean you have to go for 0 sugar but it’s really helpful to watch that number! In the US there is a lot of sugar put in our packaged foods so be on the lookout for that. Things like Ketchup and bread have added sugars…so dumb!
I wouldn’t stress about counting calories unless it motivates you, which it sounds like it doesn’t.
You don’t have to eat more to gain muscle, you just need to eat well so your body can recover after workout. Food literally is fuel for us. Protein is needed for muscle growth, but you also need carbs as well. It’s about balance.
I talk about this in the lessons…and easy rule to follow for eating is: Eat a colorful plate and watch your portion sizes. Move more.

Just tried them on my TG and they stick fine. So I’m not sure what might be the problem. Here’s some photos of how I wrap mine.
-
I have the RITFIT brand and they stay fine, but I’ve only used them on my brass….will try it on my TG at some point to see if it’s different.

You wont see much change in fat loss if you just work on tricks. Working through routines, or dancing is what will raise your heart rate and can help. As mentioned, eat well. There’s no magic diet that works for everyone and don’t waist too much time on fade diets of don’t eat this only eat that, don’t skip meals or starve yourself. I enjoy sweets and save it for the evening as a reward of making through the day! Otherwise I try and watch my sugar….NO SODA, and most drinks have tons of sugar so don’t forget to check that. Sports drinks are mostly just sugar too so good old water is GREAT!

If you can post a video of your attempts that would help us.
-
I’ve not heard of them either! I always use a yoga mat when I practice, then overtime I get use to the movement and it’s not so hard on my shoulder. It would be cool to have some kind of protection tho!!!

Posting this as it goes along with my Body Wave IG post tomorrow! https://www.facebook.com/studioveenacom/videos/10155575805454442/

Suzanna, this is a great post!!
-
This week is all about grounded (standing) movements! It’s my favorite set, I love the music I found, the outfit and the slinky moves. I hope you all have fun with it too!
-
I have this brand and is FAR less expensive, I got a set but I don’t see the set right now. The quality is great! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013QLZJFA/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Welcome both of you…..not sure how I missed this post!!!!!!!! 🙂
-
Welcome back! Pretty pole, I’ve not seen the newest versions yet!
-
There are!
If you have a pole at home try these lessons:
Pole row
Pole hold
Pole UP (I don’t think I have a lesson for this one) Grip up higher than pole hold and literally pull up, make sure to switch hand placement.
Descending scissors
The Chest and back routineAdvanced pole stuff that would help: Shoulder mounts (if you can’t yet try the 30 day nailed it shoulder mount program)
Off pole:
Wide rows
High rows
Lateral pulls
Hands and elbows planksDon’t forget to keep things in balance and focus on the body as a whole, it all works together.
