Two questions:
When maintaining a high elbow at catch, and when I've been dropping my elbow previously, am I right to assume that feeling the muscle opposite the bicep (back of upper arm) working more at catch and pull is a sign the catch position is better?
Also, I've seen many references to "reaching over a barrel" in freestyle. Does this describe the arm above the water, under the water, or both?
Thanks
Yes, your triceps will definitely feel it more when you're pulling correctly. That, to me, means you're doing it right.
And the "over the barrel" cue generally refers to under the water, not the recovery.
