Shoulder Hit? Is this ok?

[poppinggizmo]

I know that when you purposely lift your shoulder up and then drop it it's bad. But like when I flex my chest for my chest hit, my shoulder automatically comes down. Except it still looks like i'm lifting my shoulder up and dropping it. It's kind of hard to explain. Here, my shoulder hit looks like this guy's:

Is this ok cus his shoulder moves more than a normal popper but it's like hitting.

its normal, its just the first stage to evolving your hit into a nice small compact one. i use to do my hits just like that when i first started. but as you keep doing them, you learn how to control the hit into i finer one. but besides just lifting them up and dropping them, you can hit your shoulders up! crazy huh? im currently practicing the up shoulder hit. so, no its not bad, just keep working at it =]
