Polefairy21, I would go with longer, then you can roll 2 legs at once if you want, ect…..and medium firmness is good. The soft rollers break down fast and the really firm ones can be too much to handle when starting. Also, if your planning on getting the lessons, you don't have to wait until your pole is up, there are tons of things to work on that do not require a pole at all. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

If you don't sweat a lot and you work well with the Chrome, I think you would really love the Titanium gold. Remember, when poles are new it can take time for all the junk from manufacturing to come off. I have been steaming my poles now with hot steam to clean them and it works wonderful. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gifI don't sweat much and have used stainless in my home and other studios, I just can't grip SS unless I'm super hot and sweaty. That doesn't happen much in the Midwest! lol I have normal to dry skin.

Do you have a link to what you use babb13? I know sweaty hands can be one of the hardest grip problems to deal with!

Yay Musings! Be sure to start by watching each Getting Started lesson for every section, these will give you tips for structuring your pole sessions. Lessons are all placed in order, allowing you to build the necessary strength! https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

For the shoulders, think more about keeping a neutral scapula (like shown in the forward & back scapula lesson) Pulling/pinching the scapula together is also not suggested.

Once you understand upper body placement for spins, you can work on the legs.

Oh no, don't feel discouraged! I strongly feel spins with both feet off the ground are not beginner moves. There are some spins that are appropriate for advanced beginners.! It takes time for a person to build up the necessary strength and body mechanics to do spins, without injury.

If your instructor hasn't explained it already, be sure to ask how you should properly engage your shoulders for spins. If you forget don't hesitate to ask again. Ask for conditioning exercises that you can do at home, to prepare for pole.

If you happen to be taking the online lessons here, check out the Forward and Back Scapula exercise https://stage.studioveena.com/lessons/view/0225276c-b90a-11df-856f-001b214581be and the Pole Strength lessons.

No, I wouldn't go that high with a removable either. I should have been more clear. I meant, call x pole and talk about options for example, you could do an x stage pole instead. Yes you can use the vaulted on a regular ceiling, makes putting the pole up super fast. I hear great things about the pole danzer poles if you can do a permanet mount.
