    2001 had major back surgery and using poles really increases the amount of time I can walk. As a former body builder my arms are very heavy with the mass I have across my shoulders and chest it is a no brainer to use them.

    No, the general rule is to keep the poles planted in the downhill direction.

    The announcer mistakingly said to adjust the poles long for up hill and short for down.
