    If you love static spins I would stick with Chrome. I use a TG and it can really rip up your hands if you do too many static spins with warm hands.  Also, I know some (not all) people with sweaty hands have trouble with slipping on the TG finish. I love love my TG pole, but I don't sweat much and live in a colder climate. TG poles can be difficult for beginners to use because they are sooo grippy you have to be right on as far as body placement, it doesn't allow you to maneuver around to find the right spot like chrome.

    Try doing the negative… So start from a pole climb, the feet are not touching the foor then try lowering down from a pole hold position, making sure te shoulder are engaged. So instead of pulling up your lowering down… The key is to do it with control.

    You all have some great routines!  I'll share one of mine with you…I change mine often depending on how much time I have. This is a more advanced routine for someone who has been dancing for a while and for someone who has the TIME. Don't we all wish we had more time!

    Monday – Free weights, (full body) Flexibility at night

    Tuesday – Dance in the morning (like floor transitions fluidity few pole tricks) and hooping, Heavy Flexibility training at night.

    Wednesday – Pole work (new moves and dancing through whole songs)

    Thursday – Dance and hooping in the morning, Heavy Flexibility training at night

    Friday Free weights (full body) Flexibility at night

    Saturday REST

    Sunday Dance, hoop, pole. OR Flexibility training at night. I pick one of the 4.

    This is NOT a suggested routine for new dancers!!! https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cop.gif I'll do this for about 2-4 weeks and then back off to pole dancing 3 times a week or less with no free weights, and hooping, handstands and more balance work on the non pole days. Variety is great https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

    Yep, sometimes less is best Coatcheckgirl, so even one session a week can help 🙂

    MissKitty, its not really within my scope of practice to tell you exactly what to do. But I have pulled my Semitendinosus and this is what I did. Heat and more heat….then….Lot and lots of foam rolling and tennis ball rolling. The tennis ball hurts like you wouldn't believe but it was very helpful. I only did gentle stretching, in between rolling on the ball, and only to the point where it didn't hurt. This went on for about a week,  Then once I started to notice the hamstring wasn't hurting in my daily life I began working on flexibility and strength training again.  For a long time I had to warm it and roll it really really well before I did anything. Pulls/strains all take time to heal, I still have trouble with my foot and that was over 7 months ago! But it is getting better slowly……

    haha Miraine is ok, I get why you would be upset! For me, the issue was, the time I have to take to change settings. I don't stay on FB 24/7 and I don't like to spend my computer time changing settings, I'm not computer savvy despite what everyone might assume! Even with instruction I still get confuse!….. Twitter it is!
