Considering my arm issues, I am thinking of altering this to raising my arms above my head instead. Maybe this would help drain fluid? I don't mind being pumped, but sometimes it gets to be scary pumped.

I mean, they look identical other than the tab at the bottom being bent. Obviously there are suttle differences but BASICally, a lefty is a croll.

Chads93GT wrote:My point is that the croll is like the basic in that its small, compact, one is right, one is left, and neither have a handle. Not that they are exact mirror images of each other and that they function exactly the opposite of each other, only that neither has a handle, and one is right and one is left.

Besides, I thought Amy had all of your ascenders by now.
