What really got me to stop locking my left arm, is when i watched sky systems 5. I think it was that one anyway.... But Lawrence Johnson is warming up at the plant box, and he is checking is step, and when he puts his hands up, he pulls his left arm down. That explanation sucked, but if you can get your hands on it, you will see what i mean. Plus, there are a few threads on this topic, so run a quick search
Just you wait...
