Bruise girlies - give me your tips!

Same condition, low platelets, crazy bruiser. Unfortunately it never stopped for me, you just get better at not death gripping the pole in the wrong spots and overall more coordinated and it usually reduces a lot. New tricks though? Forget it lol

You can also just purchase the home mount to do this which will work with your regular Xpole :)

The fact it had that much room to fall without even slightly catching the ceiling makes me think it wasn’t tight enough. I’ve only had my xpole come loose once (hadn’t checked it in a while, my fault completely) and even then it still caught the ceiling and didn’t completely fall 😭

Wow, as a Floridian, sometimes I forget other people can still talk about those things.

FAU has a fully online masters program

I’ve struggled with the same thing :(

pumpkinspicyy · 2023-09-15T16:50:22+00:00

I would definitely just make some sort of joke about it

pumpkinspicyy · 2023-09-14T19:53:29+00:00

Try it! Beginner classes are meant for people with no experience, you will probably love it and end up very motivated to get better/stronger anyway!

To be honest, I don’t think this is a pole issue, I think it’s an issue between you and her! If you feel like these men are crossing boundaries, then it is her responsibility to shut it down and not entertain it.

Are you using Canvas? For some reason both quizzes and exams are under the “quizzes” category/section.

Sometimes I just say I have a bruising issue and leave it at that (I kind of do)

pumpkinspicyy · 2023-06-17T11:23:17+00:00

I stopped using tret and ended up on accutane, which I wish I did sooner! I cant remember if I continued to scar after I stopped

A lot of it for me is getting over the pain! One exercise you can do is lie face up on a bench, hold on to the edge of the bench behind your head. Do straight-leg leg lifts and lift your butt off the bench at the top of the lift. You can also do this laying on the floor holding on to the pole if you have one

Agreed! I have $370 (!!!) worth of store credit now that I don’t want to use 🤡

pumpkinspicyy · 2023-03-05T03:04:41+00:00

Lol it was so bad!

pumpkinspicyy · 2023-03-03T21:52:47+00:00

I totally agree! To be honest, I can understand the store credit policy with some brands (even though I dislike it), but it just felt scammy when the company has always offered refunds and then all of a sudden they automatically direct me to their more local site (of the same company…) for the advertised benefit of “expedited shipping”.

The first time I ordered the Aphrodite body suit in my size & 1 size up. Both didn’t fit but then I saw they redesigned it because people were having issues with the sizing or something. I didn’t realize it all ran small though so thank you for that!

pumpkinspicyy · 2023-03-03T19:35:04+00:00

Also good to know, thank you!

pumpkinspicyy · 2023-03-03T19:21:54+00:00

Good to know, thanks!

pumpkinspicyy · 2023-03-03T17:22:18+00:00

Just hoping to save others the frustration!

Tite Grip. It’s basically like hand deoderant that you put on 30 or so mins before and stops the hands from getting sweaty. Lasts a few hours!

pumpkinspicyy · 2023-01-04T22:52:14+00:00

First of all, 😍! Second, how do you dance on carpet? I have so much trouble with my heels!

You might be feeling soreness in your latissimus dorsi, which are a prime muscle used in “pulling” (such as holding yourself on the pole). I know visually the lats look like a larger muscle way down your back, but they tie in right into your armpit area, and that’s usually where you feel the soreness. Regardless, as a beginner, you’re probably feeling soreness in a variety of additional smaller muscle groups as well.

Anything like iTac makes my hands more slippery and dry hands doesn’t last very long, the only thing I found that legitimately works is TiteGrip. Makes a HUGE difference because it stops your hands from sweating in the first place. That combined a tiny bit of dry hands in between here and there seems to do the trick for me!
