I can't go for a few minutes without my hands being as slippery as a fish so I started using climbers chalk but even then I have to keep reapplying. I guess the secret is to go cold turkey and work on my hand strength for a better grip. Heard you can get those squeezy hand exerciser things.

My inner thighs are so sore from trying that I can hardly touch them… and yet I’ve not even managed to stay on the pole! My skin is also pinching – I am not so young anymore and I seem to have too much skin in certain places… it’s so damn sore that I just can’t get myself to let go with my hands. I’ll keep trying… but believe me, girl: YOU”RE NOT ALONE! @ Sammi
