How many use the early vertical forearm method?
How many believe it is less prone to shoulder injuries?
I tried it for the first time today and it wore my butt out! I did feel like I had more surface area to pull with and the force felt more horizontally directed toward my feet. I have a lot of work to do if I continue to adopt this stroke method.:bolt:

By popping your shoulder up, does this mean bringing your shoulder closer to your ear? I have been really trying to work on this EVF/High Elbow thing and am really starting to have problems with my left shoulder making all kinds of clicking and clacking noises, plus some pretty gnarly pain when pulling. I don't have the pain during sprints, but I think I am not focusing as much on EVF then. I suggest if you are having that kind of problem don't do what you are doing. Concentrate on pressing the water rather then pulling, using the hand and forearm. Brushing the ear is good but let the elbow find the comfort spot. There are so many shoulder problems caused by some one interpreting the sequences wrong. Make sure the elbow is pointed at he wall not at the bottom or the sky. Your body roll will determine the positioning of the elbow and this may differ from your interpritation of elbow position and does differ for everyone.
