New Gym; no Squat rack. Free weights advice please
Hey Team, I recently joined a new gym, it's attached to a hotel, and horror of horrors, it has no squat rack. It has a free weights section, but it's just dumbells; no bars etc. There's also a terrifying looking "cable motion" thing in the corner, which may be of use to me, but I'm pretty sure I've never seen anyone use it…

The other week it was Jade splits to Allegra (possible; painful) and this week it was Adv Jamilla to Split Heel (possible; tricky). I do love a good combo though, my favourite of all time being the impressive…

Performances. And performing. And my brain.
Ok, so I do know what's wrong with my brain; I'm not The Best. That's what. but bear with me. In the past 6 months I've been given 2 opportunities to perform in showcases put on by my Pole Schools. I turned down the chance of doing a solo in both, but did a group piece in one with the rest of the crew. The next one is on…
