One of the main "feels" that changes day to day is, some days the extensor action seems to cause me to hinge other days i feel as is they are two seperate moves. I believe if the right arm folds properly the two should happen togeather. Any thoughts? I wouldn't say hinge action is caused by extensor action per se, no. That said, the more structured the power package (triangle), the more the hinge action can be a result, not an 'action'. The more the elbows stay the same distance apart during the motion, the more you will feel the release/hinge action as a 'unit', the entire power package. Having extensor action adds structure to the power package, so these are clearly related. Hogan's 'strap' training aid is directly related to this power package structure. Keeping the elbows the same distance apart and pointed down. __________________ "Support the On Plane Swinging Force in Balance" "we have no friends, we have no enemies, we have only teachers" Simplicity buffs, see 5-0, 1-L, 2-0 A and B 10-2-B, 4-D, 6B-1D, 6-B-3-0-1, 6-C-1, 6-E-2 EdZ View Public Profile Send a private message to EdZ Find all posts by EdZ
