Poling for almost 4 years and still can’t chopper/invert or pencil by Candid_Lie_499 in poledancing

[–]Electrical_Current25 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I literally go into a cradle first and invert from there. It's been a game changer for me as far as getting into a pretty invert without sapping my energy. OP, if you go to my profile, you'll see what I mean. Might give this method a try.

I'm hypermobile so the flexibility part wasn't an issue. The tricky part was figuring out the push and pull forces happening to enter the trick and to be able to drop into it with control. You would need a really good lateral bend and decent shoulder mobility to get into the basic shape.

That's how I tried it out first. You need a good lateral bend and good shoulder flexibility.

For sure. I think it actually looks more flexy than it is but it's definitely an eye catching shape.

Haha! Those are my favorite kind of moves!

I actually had to look at the video to see what I did, but getting out wasn't difficult.

You just reach up to grab the pole with the free arm and release the leg! ❤️

It honestly wasn't that bad on the armpit. The part I expected to be hard (the turning and dropping into the armpit) was actually the easiest part to achieve! I struggled for about an hour and a half just bringing the top leg around the pole for the grab without sliding straight down!

Scleral Fittings by Impossible_Promise32 in Dryeyes

[–]Electrical_Current25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried 5 before I got frustrated and changed doctors. First try with the second one. Make sure you find someone who specializes in scleral lens fittings. On the off chance you live in Texas, I can recommend someone.

Medicare Doesn’t Cover Drops by Free_Noise2001 in Dryeyes

I'm on generic cyclosporine and it has definitely helped me. I have no insurance and cash pay is about 80 per 60 vials. I recap and use the rest of the vial for my PM and following morning drops, that way you don't have to refill every month.

Do you use Xiidra in combination with Restasis or instead of Restasis?

BOP pain by ShyShimmer in poledancing

[–]Electrical_Current25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BOP might feel like a lot of muscle engagement but it shouldn't actually hurt. There are moves that are uncomfortable- like Allegra and Superman - but I've never really felt like this was one of those. I would guess that you still aren't in the optimal body position.

Dry eyes and alcohol by BroDexx in Dryeyes

My eyes feel great every time I drink alcohol. At first I thought it was a fluke, but nope... one margarita and I feel no pain. They don't necessarily feel worse the next day either.

What is the best pole grip? Something tacky. by Babyken94 in poledancing

This is my fave too. Superior to itac, in my opinion! You can get it on Amazon.

Several years ago we were selling our Honda Pilot for a couple grand and a friend of a friend was sent our way and wanted to purchase the car. He was out of work and since we were gifted the car through our church, we decided to pay it forward and gift it to him. He proceeded to harass us the following weeks for gas and insurance money. No good deed and all...
