The 'Other' Arm

mill_mobile · 2007-08-07T20:06:40+00:00

I have now learnt to static hop. Over some time, more so now that i can static, i have felt my right arm getting stronger. Just wondering what you people do out there (if anything) to even up this strengthening to your other arm? Thanks people🙂 J EDIT: I mean, what do you do to keep your other arm from being smaller than your hopping arm? -- mill_mobile ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mill_mobile's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/14584 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/63256 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

I have now learnt to static hop.
Over some time, more so now that i can static, i have felt my right arm
getting stronger.
Just wondering what you people do out there (if anything) to even up
this strengthening to your other arm?
Thanks people🙂

The difference isn't going to be noticable to anybody but you. But if
your still insecure about it, trying lifting dumbells with the opposite
arm or learn to use your left arm to hop as well. And switch back and
forth.

I guess you could be right there - still, to eliminate the feeling of
having a weaker arm i might invest in the dumbells.
Hopping with the other arm isnt an option at the moment... i find it a
little hard still getting used to my right arm, i'm almost there tho😉

thats wot u think :P
when i flex both arms one looks puny next to the other. Mind you it was
that way after years of badminton i guess the unicycling hasnt helped.
In fact both arms just side by side one looks puny just without flex.
Personally i dont care but there we go.

not always, it is also an easy way to idle. Just hop up and down like a
pogo stick.

So true that is. People should learn to use their opposite hand for
shuttlecock just like uni because if U hurt my right hand I don't wanna
miss out on anything =p.... I can actually hop basically the same using
right or left hand and hopping toward my left or right foot. Always
left foot forward though. It dose come in handy having that skill in
trials because you can't always hop in a circle to adjust My left hand
right crank back stalls are kind of bad though I find it harder to get
to rubber and be accurate. On the other hand I am learning pedal/crank
grabs to rubber on rails.

I find it especially important for muni to be able to alternate the
front foot.
