F I N A L L Y managed to have a lesson (last one was before xmas!) on D-Bobs and it was so nice to get that 'back on track' feeling after a long winter of schooling in the dark, and hoping that it was all going the right way.
I had let D-Bobs get into some lazy, mincey habits so we really got our butts kicked and made to work and it felt great! I need to work on getting his neck lower (a little lower than comp' frame) in order to build up his muscles, and to get him to really work from behind into my hand because he has a habit of going very light in the mouth and just 'looking pretty' but not really doing the work.
My lovely OH came up with his MEGA HD camera and recorded some of it, which was great because we have no mirrors and it's nice to SEE your bad habits, I think then it's easier to correct them rather than just being told what they are.
So I hope you enjoy - cc welcome
