Cross Knee Release
finally asked my one trustworthy work buddy about it and he said, “What’s G-4? I don’t have cable!” Thank Goodness! Joel PS. The videos did get the attention of about five very serious women who desperately wanted more information about pole dancing and buying poles. I answered all of those PM’s by referring them to the two very reputable dealers of pole that I know, Alena and Veena. … Pole Dance Cross Knee Release OPRF Class of 1979 Reunion KB9EVA Illinois Forest Park Nike Golf Shoes …
ths great joel. thnks for the comment on my video. even tho im not as good as i wanna be. lol. but this is wonderful!! 5stars
great job joel, i was gonna send you a vid, lemme know if you want it, on how to do a beginner version of this move..a step up in hard-ness perhaps from what you are doing here at the beginning, but a definate GREAT next step, so if your interested, i’ll put that lesson on my hard drive and get hubby to post it later on. your doing FABULOUS WORK! at 1:40 WOW great work, ur right there, u might not need the help but just shout out if so. it would be a good step up from havin the hand underneath
HA the laundy thing, i love that. see your a REAL man honey!!! u rock! 4:25 SUPER DUPER impressive! just a tip, if your bike shorts were rolled up or hiked up a bit somehow, or if you had shorter shorts…the grip between your legs and the pole would be even stronger, i noticed that in your final ‘views’ the bicycle shorts you have on are a tad long for it (i guess why we all wear tiny lil booty shorts..harder for a man i know, lol), but you do amazing even still. wow great work, im proud!
good work joel!!!! this is a move that’s terrifying the first time you go down, you really gotta have your thighs stick to the pole, i’ve lost skin up there doing this move! haha i LOVE the laundry bit, it added such a cute touch to the video. nice job at 3:48 you did it!!!!!! i love how you take the time to write everyone back, that says so much about your character!!! keep up the good work, we love your vids!!!
Hee! The laundry intermission was so cute. You have it down solid at four minutes. the drop back spot. I have a much easier time of the cross .. ankle, I guess, release? With that one, my legs may be on absolute fire, but I know I’m not going anywhere.
Joel what are you talking about. You work just as hard at learning these moves as anyone else. Personally I’m very happy for you. Any positive exposure for poleing is good exposure I say.
Thank you, Tiff! You are absolutely right. Actually I was thinking maybe just a few guys will think, “Hey, I could do that”–and fill up some empty poles in studio class. Coincidentally, Alena Downs has been asked up in her home town to do a demo for a charity cause–and they specifically wanted workout routines for both men and women…
I just can’t seem to make the gemini work at all. I mean, I can get up in that position, as long as I keep it supported with one hand on the pole. But my knee WILL NOT BEND around the pole, so it looks like an ankle hook or a calf hang–but not a Gemini. I think my legs are just too fat! I’ll definitely check out your video!
great job joel, you totally have it, youre just being chicken…!! lol for added support and piece of mind try this: when you climb up and cross the right leg over, use your right hand and keep hold of the pole above your knee, then take the left hand and grab the foot thats crossed over, pull it towards you while you slowly lean back and let go with the ‘pole hand’… try it…!!!
I get it…actually kind of like a “clamp” to hold the friction.. Yeah, because I’d like to try it just a little bit higher, so I can get totally vertical and make it look a little better than it is now. Although I can’t get too high without bumping my head on the ceiling, LOL! Anyway, I ought to be able to get straight up and down–and then—who knows…a bow and arrow? One day….LOL
After reading Alena’s thing about problems with elastic and spandex, I don’t use the Speedos that much anymore. In the later clips, where I get it down better, I’m wearing the SOFFE shorts. Actually, in Black or Grey or Blue, they’re the same as men’s gym shorts. Turns out the cotton is VERY sticky on the pole–and they are shorter than the Speedo. You know what’s funny? 10 years ago, SOFFE shorts were only sold in the MENS department, now they added colors and sell them for cheer shorts!
well, youre only a few moves away from a B&A…..!! your progressing in leaps n bounds…!!
lol NOo you legs aren’t fat lol.. I have the same problem…
HOLY CRAP!!!! Joel, your progress is amazing since I have been back! I will tell you what, that release is actually a tough one for me since I have returned. With the loss of muscle mass, I actually have some loose skin that does not grip too well. What is going to happen when you really need that grip closer to the groin? I cannot wait to see Joel in a REAL speedo, lol!! U look great, and that lighting is very cool
Keep up the great work, you amaze me!!!
Thanks for the compliment, Trena. You are going to do just fine! Take small steps and take your time–it’s all about having fun and getting some exercise. You’ll get the moves eventually. If I can do this, believe me…anybody can, LOL!
Thanks SHelly, that wouls be great! Actually I put the laundry segment in because some of the video bloggers made fun of me for making my wife cook for me while I was having fun in the basement, LOL! …Yep, I’d eventually like to let go of both hands. Laurie says I need to do crunches–not regular sit-ups –to build up more ab strength. I was surprised I was able to ab back up onto the pole that one time in the video!
Thanks Sascha! I want to improve this move by being able to let go. So I’ll keep working at it! I am really enjoying all of your floor work videos. They are fun, quite informative, and done tastefully with a wonderful sense of humor. The best part about them is just watching you laugh and flash that infectious smile!
I’ve wondered which might be easier, but I seem less slippy with the knee lock than the thigh grip. Also, I can’t arch my back at all. But I might just try it the other way…maybe with a mattress or chair behind me. When my daughter wants some spending money, I pay her to spot, LOL!
Hi Kate! Welcome back!!! I have really missed your videos and seeing you around the Tube. Yeah,it’s real easy to lose conditioning after just a little time off. We all had bronchitis a few weeks ago and I stopped working out for a week. When I got back into it, I couldn’t even lift the weights off the rack! You have a farm? Horses and stuff, too?
you are the nicest person joel!!
i took mine down because too many peeps were creepin’ me out. i’ll use V’s option now instead 
im just a big nerd is all i think it definitely shines through in my vids haha. i cant wait to see your next vid! keep up the amazing progress!!!
Wow you’re great!
Now I want to install one in my basement.
But does that little peice of wood at the bottem actually hold it steady? Or did you reinforce it with something else?
Again you’re awesome! and I hope its a great work out and that you continue on!
I did actually reinforce the 8 x 8 inch piece of wood with those steel straps you use in carpentry underneath. They run about 2 doallars a piece. The wood was starting to split. But the steel braces should hold 600 or so pounds of force. It’s not going anywhere–even as fat as I am, LOL! Thanks for watching
how many pairs of socks
Lots of socks, I know. We have a real shortage of closet space in our house, so most of the athletic gear and clothes are hanging on racks downstairs!
I can’t get this yet it just seems to hurt so so much might try it tonight as well and push the sofa behind me incase i fall lol lol
