thanks marius gresham there. whens your next coaching weekend on? lets have it.
think clicking is just air bubbles trapped somewhere in the joints, don't think its owt to worry about unless it is painfull. most joints in my body will crack upon request since i was at junior school (toes, ankles, knees, shoulders, elbows, wrists, fingers) and its not causing me any problems
They sometimes lock at about 120 degrees when I'm trying to straighten them (not when climbing), and when I bend my arm back and straighten it smoothly with momentum it makes a loud clicking noise
This is true apart from when things start to get louder after each click or pop. Why would an air bubble start making a louder noise? A lot of the noise is cause from substrate tissue being inactive and then stretched back to full range

if the sound is a louder 'crack' then it's either bone catching on the tendon or bone catching on bone as the joints move. the more you click the joints, the more they click. my fingers started with the odd click, i thought it was fun to crack them and now i can pretty much crack every one at will - not good.
