I am wondering, i notice your arms are slightly bent during your swings, is this correct form or not? I don't think i bend mine. Not sure, i have not paid attention, but i'm pretty sure i keep mine straight

The reason why my arms don't completely extend is because of my shoulders - I have very tight shoulders and really have to work on loosening them up. That's as far as they go when I keep my shoulders packed.

When you swing, you aren't supposed to use your arms at all - they are just cables connecting your body to the bell - so how you see my arms is their natural flow. It isn't wrong, just means I need to work on flexibility. If you see RKC Team Leaders Lauren Brooks and Jordan Vezina their arms are bent at the elbows, but Anthony DiLuglio has straight arms.
