I've been skating for about a year and I can pretty reliably land single salchows, toe loops and half loops...but my arms are all wrong!
I do this strange unconscious 'flap' with my arms right before actually jumping. I can't even feel myself doing it - I only realised it when I finally got a private coach and she filmed me to point it out. After the flap, my arms are pretty okay but I have no idea how to iron out this weird issue.
Another skater suggested tying a resistance band to one of my arms and to the running belt I skate in (for my phone and bank card so I don't have to bring a handbag) but I'm not sure how safe this would be. Is this actually a thing?
