I have been working on the power 3s for a long time, and alternating 3s even longer, and I have had 2 issues. One was a wobble after my turn, which was throwing off my balance. I think I've fixed that, but now I have this retrogression problem still. There was a discussion of this on an earlier thread, but not a fix for it. Help! can someone help me fix it? Thanks.

We just had a lengthy discussion about that very issue here (http://skatingforums.com/showthread.php?t=28022). My reply can be found here (http://skatingforums.com/showpost.php?p=384380&postcount=17). And, after noticing that this seems to be a common issue that a lot of skaters are seeking advice on, I just finished up a blog post about correcting and identifying retrogression (http://thecoachesroom.blogspot.com/2009/02/correcting-retrogression.html), so feel free to read up on that too. It goes more in-depth than my forum post does.
