I don&#39;t find it hard on my shoulders but where I really feel it is in the elbows. Medial epicondolitis is what happens to me when I work really hard at pulling the water thru with the forearms. It&#39;s a great feeling to feel the surge it gives u when pulling with ur whole upper body and the glide u get. It takes allot of practice and strengh in ur shoulders and back and arms to do it rite.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/3859?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 11 Sep 2002 13:22:01 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:4eb75c62-0bda-4e69-a406-a4f2cab3cd9bFormer MemberI&#39;m not trying it, when I was young my father stated that I had a pull like Bruce Furness. Unfortunely, I was far from the freestyler he was. Now I try to get bye.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/3842?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 09 Sep 2002 07:51:04 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:4b0e40f7-49e7-4a4b-87cd-74391feffff8Former MemberIn looking at the photos in SWIM I would think that the initial position of the pull would be hard on the shoulders. I experimented with it today in the pool and definitely felt some strain as I dropped the hand into position. Maybe you have to build up some additional flexibility? Anybody else doing this Xtreme freestyle?<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/3826?ContentTypeID=1Sun, 01 Sep 2002 04:42:17 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:e5caac5b-bbb7-4c34-ba3d-143985619d43joyRead the new Swim Magazine.
