k all yall need to look up therussiantiger on utube. hes so fkin krazy. anyways ye first of all dont bend ur elbow AS MUCH!!!! u can bend it a little just make sure that when u start ur wave ur elbow is pointed behind u and wen u get to it, slitly bend it backward like da audience cant see it den roll ur elbow forward like da second video sed. but wen u roll it ur elbow shud be slitly bent not locked. oh and just some extra tips. shoulders. dont shrug them anymore. pick it up like u normally wud then roll it down forward den babkward instead of just putting it back down. also. the head. dont leave it in a single place like normal. move it from one shoulder to the next like a beach ball on a wave. listen to me, dont listen to me, i dont care. just think about my advice

MmmmmMMMMmmmm yeah no.... especially considering how many egregious spelling errors you had.


Anyways... i rotate my elbow..... and combine it with bending the elbow...


and i think people took what i said out of context... he should practice his basic arm wave straight armed to get the hardest part of the technique down... then of course he should apply that to when he has his elbows bent. Right now, from those vids it looks like dude isn't supporting the weight of his arms and is just being lazy in how he waves.


No joke, you can break a sweat if u practice arm waves back and forth . But to do that you have to DO IT RIGHT.

I say just take all of this advice and use it all.. I do believe you have to bend the elbow a bit to give it the wave feature.. You don't have to bend it so much it looks like a tut.. lol.. or you could develop something out of that.. The smoother it is from the more practice you do the better..
