Hi Shadow! Everyone has great points, I agree that is sounds like you’re grieving, and that’s difficult but normal. We grieve many things when it comes to big life changes and not just death, and you’ve had 2 changes. Talking to a counselor could be very helpful!!
One thing I don’t like to see happen with ANY pole dancer is comparing themselves with others, or assuming that the length of time they have been dancing should equal that they can do XYandZ on the pole. My take on pole dance is it’s often not about progressing into trick after trick with the goal of advancing to handsprings and Ayashas! It’s more fulfilling when it’s about the journey, the feeling you have when you allow your body to just move and be in the moment, even if you think it feels weird or looks bad, it’s fulfilling for the soul. Tricks are fun and can be a great motivator but if it’s the only focus you’ll find can take the joy out of pole.
I’m so truly sorry for your losses, within a few years my sister and dad passed away and it does change you, but it can also help you remember that life it short and we should not waste our time. If there is something you want go for it, do it for those who loved you. They’d want you to be happy. The ex didn’t know what he had, don’t let him stop you from enjoying life! xoxoxoxo

Awesome thank you both for the input and links 🙂

If you have the lessons here there are lessons and info on working up to backbends. Feel free to use those to help her. Here a back mobility routine. https://stage.studioveena.com/lessons/view/53000190-d198-4e3e-8e30-6b2c0a9aa0eb
I know others will have suggestions too.

I use my powder coated pole for advanced work all the time, it’s my preferred pole for working on new stuff. The only issue you may have is doing drops. I do advanced static spins on my pole all the time. 😉

Can I ask what the goal is for the survey?
-
The question is why do you use grip aid? For sweaty hands or just because the pole feels slick?
-
Yep, what she said! Those were either cheap or not properly installed !
-
Yeah, they left a comment here before saying to no longer use the wd40 lol so….It maybe time for them to update their info!
-
lil mynx says not to use wd40 but liquid graphite instead. I would just try taking it down and putting it back up, that stops mine often.
-
It would be fun if those who are doing the second option (re do, dance) would share their first video along with the second in the discussion here! If you have access to a link that is 🙂

I’ll reply here too. I can see from your vid that you are not using a “grip”, but only holding on with the hand only, this will not allow you to hold the upper body in place so you can climb. Here is an example of a Forearm grip, you can see how the pole is running along the inner forearm up into the elbow pit, this hold will allow for more stability when doing the caterpillar or the climb. You can also use just an elbow grip if you find that more comfortable.

The studioveena pole, it’s easy to set up, fast to set up and take down and the powder coated finish is grippy so you avoid a lot if the slipping issues with other finishes. It’s static and spin and the price is good.
-
They often make a squeak or rubbing noise, there’s nothing wrong with it. 🙂

It’s true, not everyone can achieve full splits, so don’t become discouraged if you never reach that goal. However, everyone can improve their flexiblity and I think that should be the main focus of stretching.
