Gotcha. It's just a tad more difficult to keep my left arm in place. I basically forced the flexibility by doing the behind the back stretches. I'm still just using a wooden dowel (instead of a broom stick) also.

I basically just take a wide grip to where I can bring the stick from the hang position all the way up and around to my lower back without bending my arms and then I bring my hands in to where that gives a moderates stretch. I then practiced that stretch at various levels of the squat up and down. I will work on bringing in my grip in a bit as I go.

Then once my flexiblity was better I would do the stretch and then HOLD in the frontal plane for a period as I was moving through the various levels of the squat.

All of this I got from the Glassman doc..(the guy from Crossfit [they are good for certain things]).

This all basically sped up the process and now I can hold the dowel fairly easily in the proper position. So I just noticed the left arm difference...which is probably quite normal.

I have also put in more wall slides exercise which helps a good bit as well.

Anyway, good luck on yours, Rob

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
