Shoulder Support Of the Hands

Right on, Bucket!



This essential alignment -- Right Shoulder back to the Plane -- is missed by those who would have you take your Left Shoulder down in the Backstroke. When the Left Shoulder goes down, the Right Shoulder goes up. And for now, forever and for always, the surface of the Inclined Plane is located back of your Right Shoulder, not up vertically!

The Hands, of course, have been On Plane since Impact Fix (8-2) and remain so during their journey to the Top (8-6). As they reach Shoulder height, they ideally are joined by the Right Shoulder (10-21-0-1). But, when the Shoulder goes up (instead of back), the Hands lose a valuable ally and must forfeit Right Shoulder support during the Start Down (8-7).

The result is a compensated Stroke and a Machine that is less efficient than it could have been.
