Did my first dips/drops class on Saturday which took the form of a sequence of 7/8 dips and drops of increasing difficulty spun into a short routine. I was very keen to learn the proper technique as I get dipped a fair amount in freestyle, and fear for my partner's spine! During the class I tried to support as much of my own weight as possible.

By the end of the class I couldn't do the routine as I could barely stand on my right leg, and in the freestyle several hours later my leg had an unnerving tendency to buckle slightly on a/c turns.

Still very stiff today.

Is this normal, or have I done something wrong?
