Exaggerated steep body shallow arms

Ohhhhhh. The more I learn, the less I know! Your description of the trail side lengthening and the lead side compressing but at the upper spine is super helpful though. If I’m understanding this more correctly, what you’re describing is a much simpler motion and flows naturally from the hips rotating back toward the target. Am I on a better track here? Even if not, thank you so much!! I don’t know quite why the pursuit of understanding this motion brings me so much joy, but it does, and I so appreciate your guidance! Update: of course this is opposite to what I was trying to do, so now I see that when you get that tilt going properly it *forces* you to do all the shallowing components or you just come way the heck over it. I included my first crack at it, for your amusement, and then what I considered to be a halfway decent rep from the end of the session. For whatever reason, that description you gave me of how the left and the right side of the spine move really made the concept click into place for me, and left me again wondering just how in the world you ironed all this stuff out. With admiration, Zach
