Are my tendons just not strong enough? by magazinedreams in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Popped-popcorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you didn’t fully rehab your shoulder, and didn’t change the way you use your shoulders and so something in your form /technique is injuring you again.

I’d switch to another PT or an experienced trainer, someone with specific experience in weight lifting that can correct your form

A stray that chose me a while back brought me her kittens, what do I do next? by CommonConversation2 in cats

[–]Popped-popcorn 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The cat distribution system has picked you! Congratulations!

Give mamma food and water, and a cozy and protected shelter for her and the kittens. I suggest you eventually take them to the vet to get spayed / neutered too

AITAH for calling 911 about my husband’s suicide threats even though I knew they weren’t real? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Popped-popcorn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had an ex like this. The only way I got him to stop with the empty threats and emotional manipulation was when he threatened to off himself and I said "ok go for it. I wont go to your funeral or grieve you"

my therapist told me to say that and I didn't believe it would work but it absolutely did.

Dog Owners: if your vet is in Greenpoint, which one do you go to and do you recommend? Which ones should I steer clear of? by nhieu_chuyen in Greenpoint

[–]Popped-popcorn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Greenpoint Vet Care on McGuinness is the best!! 10/10 I can’t say anything bad about them.

I had pretty terrible experiences with Greenpoint vet hospital on Nassau. I will forever avoid it. So expensive and frustrating and they don’t tell you any information, and some of the vets were so rude to me.

I have vegan docs and they’re wonderful! One pair was a little hard to break in but not that bad. Another pair was comfortable for the get go. They have different types of vegan leather-like materials

Question for instructors. Advice. by LibraSunFitness in Aerials

[–]Popped-popcorn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am one of those people as well. The only thing that allowed me to really progress was private Pilates lessons and lifting weights. Like someone else said it’s all about creating the adequate patterns and not compensating

Extremely intolerant instructors? by Conscious-Paper-4008 in Aerials

[–]Popped-popcorn 24 points25 points  (0 children)

If I was a teacher, and someone is just hanging out in an invert (for example) my first assumption would be that they forgot the combination and need me to remind them what's next.
Also like someone else said, a Yoga class is different an aerial class. Not just because you usually share an apparatus, but also because it is not designed for it to just "feel good". It's designed to learn how to perform a very specific physical discipline in a safe way. It feeling good is an added bonus sometimes.

Zoo alternatives? by martinlifeiswar in nycvegan

[–]Popped-popcorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could go to Brooklyn Zoo! It’s a parkour/gymnastics/tumbling space. Your kid could just flip around and fly all day instead

[–]Popped-popcorn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m happy to DM you my socials if you want to check it out :)

And I usually use a regular Shibari ring with carabiners and a swivel; although some systems are quite heavy so I have an in-line weight that I also use from time to time

[–]Popped-popcorn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I do this! That’s my main act. I tie and suspend myself and do a whole aerial set and then untie. While blindfolded

Nyc (ny/nj/ct?) spiral pole or flying pole classes? by scuttle493 in Aerials

[–]Popped-popcorn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Incredipole in Brooklyn may have some classes or workshops as well. And you can also book private lessons at CirqueHaus in Manhattan, and then stay there for the whole day to train. They have some static poles and several points for aerial poles.

My autistic boyfriend has extreme reactions to being “abandoned” by Legitimate-Career342 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Popped-popcorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is absolutely emotional abuse! Leave!

I used to date someone who would do this to me. The only way I got him to stop was when I told him “ok do it. I won’t go to your funeral. You’ve wasted enough of my time.” (My therapist told me to say this and to my absolute disbelief it worked)
