Amazing Video i love that you explaining everything in detail it's so crazy i always had back pain while stretching and this time no pain in my back at all !! Thank you 🫶
Glad you enjoyed it 🥰 I love middlesplits , and have heaps of info to share! Can definately do youtube video on them! I posted some great exercises on my instagram a couple days a go, I think only 2 posts in. Do you have any specific middle split questions?
Hello Amy, thanks for your great work. I absolutely love it and admire your great shape, but I didn`t realize how muscular you really are until I saw your bicep flex in this video. Could you please make a video of your arm and back workout in the gym? I honestly would like to know how you managed it to become so mighty and stay so feminine at the same time. May I finally ask you some things about your upper body training: Do you train your forearms seperately and what is about your grip strength? How heavy do you lift and what weights do you use for lat pulldowns, shoulder press, chest press and bicep curls normally and when you go heavy? Are you trying to add still more strength to your upper body? Thanks for your effort, kind regards, Sabine.
My workout routine has actually changed so much to be honest I change it up regulary to keep things intresting and keep my body guessing and pending what my current goals are :) I can definately make a video about my journey with gym, pole, flexibility and how I have built my strength and flexibility throughout the last few years. I dont train my forearms seperately, as my weights got heavier in the gym my forearms got stronger to match. But a great exercise for grip stregth is literally just hanging of a chin up bar and seeing how long you can hang for. I also find basic beginner spins great for grip strength, when im teaching regular beginner class my grip strength is amazing! I am actually not gyming at the moment and focusing more on contortion (which actually keeps me very strong when done correctly) Its currently more in line with my goals. I also keep up with a lot of pilates style training as you have probably noticed a lot of my workout videos on here are heavily pilates based. Im not sure If i could currently do the same weight that I could with my gym exercises before, but generally would choose a weight I could do for about 10- 12 reps. When I wanted to try increase my weights I would go heavier but only be able to do about 6 - 8 reps. After a while at that weight/ rep range I would be able to increase my reps at that heavier weight and be able to do that 10 - 12 and then repeat that process if that makes sense? Lat pull downs and seated row have always been 2 of my favourites for pole dancers or anyone in general. I started at about 19kgs on the seated row and worked my way up to over 40kgs in the end. I had absolutely no muscle when I first began at the gym. Lat pull down where similar. I never did a lot of shoulder press as most people dont have the flexibility to do these correctly (which I can make a video on), i found most poeple in the gym would end up jamming up their shoulder joints for not doing it correctly. An angel wing is a great pre-exercises for this. I also found my delts were already pretty bulky from pole and other exercises so never really focused on them. Chest Press is another one to be careful of that posture in I worked my way up to about 22kgs in each arm. Bicep curls I only ever did if i was bored an wanted a differant exercise to follow for that day. Reason being is your biceps are working during your back exercises (seated row, lat pull down etc...) so There was no point hitting them again ;) But This would all make a great topic for a video! I do believe if done right the gym is great for pole dancers.
Hi Amy thank you for the wonderful video! Would you recommend stretching every day (for example 10 minutes) or would you take a break day when you "feel" your muscles the next day. I feel very often that the day after stretching (even if it was just a short stretching) i am more sensitive to the stretching "pain" (not real pain). What would you suggest? Is this normal or would you take a break in this case? Thank you so much i!
Frequency can vary so much person to person. Pending their fitness level, body type, reocvery etc... I definately believe rests are important, especially if your body is sending those signals that its sore. Stretching intensly everyday is definately not a good idea. Id recomened 1 - 3 x p.week on more intense stretching pending your expeierence level. If your a beginner I wouldnt start with those 3 days a week, but work your way up to it over time. It can definately be beneficial to add light 10 minute stretch routines on the days you are not stretching intensly. For me these would involve some condiitoning exercises specific to my weaknesses and some extremely light stretches (not sitting in the splits), that I need more for recovery, and some light foam rolling. But I dont do this everyday, I allow for at least 1- 2 full rest days p/week. Hope that helps :) But stretching doms the next day are totally normal!
