HI dearies.
I have a my sexy little pole (the cheap ass stainless steel pole that has a ceiling mount, but doesn't attach to the floor) and i was absolutely over the moon with it until recently.
I just feel like i have hit a brick wall in terms of development. I can do pretty much all the basic spins, and can climb ok. But when it comes to one handed moves, or staying ON the pole after climbing i just slide down like a lead baloon.
I clean my pole with rubbing alcohol pretty much every 5 minutes because it just seems to get ungrippy so frequently. I can't tell if its just my hands being naturally sweaty, me not having enough upper body strength, or if stainless steel is just slippy in general.
I can't really afford to get one of the chrome poles on the market, so my question is: is there any way to make my pole permanently more grippy? Do the more complicated moves basically come down to very good upper body strength(i lift weights every day but can't hold myself up in a static position on my pole, as i just slide right down)? And how do you break through a "pole development barrier"?
cheers![]()
