Re: Keeping Arms Straight?!?!
Trying intentionally to keep the bottom arm straight, is a big no-no. Why the hell not? I agree with the straight right arm, but you saying it's bad to have your left arm extended WTF? If the pole is bending due to the force of your right arm you're doing it wrong because you're pulling the pole do...

Re: please advice
