Ok, says it should take about 10 min to put together the first time and then 3-5 min for more experienced set ups. Well, I read the directions/glossary of parts booklet and then opted for youtube videos for how to put it together. Took me several hours because I wasn't sure how tight it needed to be with the ceiling to still allow it to spin smoothly. It's more like the odd one at the studio that spins and then hiccups over a bump in the spin. I don't know what else to do with this. It's perfectly straight per the builder's level I used. I tried to loosen it and make the bump go away as some sites said I prolly had it too tight. The pole stayed for a couple spins, and then I tried a pretty aggressive climb while spinning. Fail! Top slipped about 3-4 inches to the side. Once I undid it and got it upright and straight again, I tightened it up as if my life depended on it, lol. Spins ok now, still has a hiccup if I just walk it, and it's a little stiff/slower when I spin, but it's secure. I dunno... more research and eventually I may call the pole manufacturer folk for help. It works fine, but I want it to spin in that fast makes me dizzy kind of way.
Ok, pic of pole and a blurry Mister kitty. Theo walked through as I was taking this and immediately glared at having his picture taken. Paparazzi momma that I am, I then spent quite a bit of time trying to get a good pic of his adorable mug. I was only successful when I lured him in with food. You can see his irritation at my tactics, lol.
Yeah, I know the background is messy, but at least I vacuumed, lol. Been about a month and a half since I was last on a pole. Feel it immediately, and everything that was effortless then is now a struggle to hold. Just uses different muscles than my normal exercise. I thought it'd be easier since I do pull-ups (all 2 in a rep), but it's not, sigh. I'll hurt tomorrow at Irish Fest.
