17/02/2020
She inverted on her left side, completely unassisted!! I’ve been inverting on my right since 16/10/2019 but was never strong enough on my left but today she was! 🔥🔥🔥
17/02/2020
She did a right knee-pit invert and transitioned into a half monkey climb!! Fucking crazy, she building that core strength
20/02/2020
could not do the witch sit for the life of my. pole — deep inner thigh contact is something that I need to work on to desensitise myself too
20/02/2020
full on slammed my vagine into the pole as I was trying to get into my witch sit. I am a bruised ladyyyyy
20/02/2020
still working on my left knee-pit grip invert. need to really thrust my hips up so that there is an actual chance of me being stable and locked in, my instructor calls it “humping the pole” mmmmmmmm
26/02/2020
it takes me a couple seconds quicker to get my knee pit grip with the other leg on the knee! am super tight on my left hip flexors so this is a win
26/02/2020
I can fully let go and grip only with my legs for my knee pit invert ✨✨✨now need to work on transitioning from the knee pit to x-grab without having to hold on

8/03/2020
there was one point in pole, it just felt like a chore. I was constantly missing classes and eventually I cancelled my membership. But a year and a day ago, I got tipsy at an informational interview with tuis industry professional 1/2
8/03/2020
And I stumbled into my studio and restarted my membership. I was doing 202 and some 101 stuff then. Cut to this year and we’ve done approx six months of 303 and we’ve just begun 404
8/03/2020
Here is me doing the swan lake spin at my first 404!! Usually it takes me a couple of classes to get the spin to some decent level, but we kind of got it the first day(?) couldn’t do it on the left, but again we’ll get there
8/03/2020
I haven’t fully accomplished all the goals for 303 yet, but I’ll still add new 404 goals to my list. They include: getting my laybacks, shoulder mounts, handstands and whatever else they throw at me this level.
9/03/2020
at open pole, trying to work on my layback. while I’m not super confident to let go and get that sweet sweet 180 straight line, I will like everything seems for the most part seems secure!
9/03/2020
also OMG, this woman sees what I’m doing and then comes over to give me tips and to spot me! Because she said it was a dangerous move lols— but yo the layback got significantly better just after her few comments ✨
9/03/2020
and!!! after ASL that same day, in another part of town, I run into someone from pole on the street??? we hugged and had a full on conversation— on the fucking street crossssinggghb with traffic in front of us! Is this what it feels like to have a pole community????
16/03/2020
first time doing the butterfly invert. took me a couple of tries but got my butterfly within class time!
9/4/2020 - till the end of time
literally so jealous of everyone who has a pole in their homes rn. fml I just wanna be upside down and at the top of the pole
21/04/2020
poles sold out on xpole + crazy long waiting lists + no direct xpole store in malaysia so shipping costs and duty costs more than the pole itself
=
no home pole
=
we are doing intense flexibility and strength training for when we have a studio to go to again
21/04/2020
an hour of bendy back and splits training later, i have conditioned the YouTube algorithm to just show me flexibility tips videos
23/04/2020
yikes why is it so hard to keep your hips square when you’re trying to do front splits. also I’m so fucking far off the ground oof
26/04/2020
