Hi! Does anyone have experience needing different grip aids for different pole finishes? My studio pole is brass and I almost never need grip, but I use dry hands and shaving cream when I do. My home pole is chrome and I always need grip, but dry hands and shaving cream do not work, especially in the colder months. It has to be 100 degrees in my home in order to pole on the chrome, so I need some grip aids. I have sticky clothing, but don’t really like it for other reasons. HELP!

Challenge
October 13 — 27, 2024
Videos will appear at the bottom of this post on October 14th or click this link:Â https://polewithsteph.com/community/posts/october-14th-two-week-challenge-shoulder-mount-technique-conditioning
Your Weekly Challenge(s):
✨Watch the videos included in the collection below. I've separated the videos in a couple different levels depending on your comfort (or lack there of) with the shoulder mount. I know it's really easy in pole to want to focus on pretty shapes & combos, but dedicating time to dialing in technique and to conditioning fundamental pole moves is just as (if not more) important and will only make us stronger for those pretty shapes & combos we all want to achieve!
Requirements:
Click "Join"
Because there are different levels included in this challenge, you do not need to mark all videos as "watched". However please follow the other requirements
Comment on this post with a picture (screenshot is fine) of something from your training this week (it can be anything... a move from the challenge, a screenshot from a flexibility or gym session, etc).
Share a picture or a video on Instagram and tag @stephanietallant_pole and #thebestpoleapp
Each month, there will be one randomly selected winner chosen amongst all members who complete the weekly challenge at least TWICE during the month!
SAFETY: There are different levels included in these challenges. Please approach new moves safely. Use a crash pad if you have it or if you have a trusty spotter, that's great too. I want you all to be safe, that's my #1 priority :))Â If you're unsure about the prerequisites to the moves, please feel free to ask that question in the Community Feed ("Hey Steph. I really want to try XYZ, but not sure if I should. What are some of the moves I should have before this?) and I can help you determine if a move is appropriate for you to try!
Working on true grip Ayesha. Thoughts Stephanie Tallant I feel like my top hand is sliding off
I was happy to this comb with minimal hand adjustments
Stephanie Tallant 😹😅 so the bottom hand 😂 I was trying to do what you did and I don’t think mine moved an inch lol also do you feel a stretch in that shoulder of the bottom arm? Also I am so confused with what I am doing with my bottom hand it feels stuck and not moving like am I walking my fingers around the pole and then lifting it up?


🎉NEW FEATURE🎉
Send me messages directly through the App! This was a feature on my previous platform that I know some of you were missing, so I'm really excited to announce this. I hope you all find it helpful!
