Lynn's post " Unfortunately, in Five Lessons, that Force (Non-Accelerating Thrust / 6-C-0 #2) was misinterpreted (and illustrated) as a Compression Force -- the exact opposite of a Tension Force -- one created by bringing the elbows 'in' toward each other. This action results in a horizontal, squeezed condition of the arms and not an in-line stretched condition. Both actions create upper arm tension and upper body adherence, but whereas the Tension Force creates Power Package Alignment and Structure, the Compression Force destroys it. So, if you want to feel what Hogan felt, do what he did, not what he said he did.
So as I understand it. EA is very important. It is mentioned frequently in the "checklist of all strojkes" The compression force is destructive and should be avoided. EA is a tension force that does compress the arms to the chest and that is all the compression that is needed. No separate compression or banding force!. Another A Ha moment for me. Even after hearing you talk of Hogan's banding picture at Cuscowilla I didn't connect the feeling of EA vs Hogan's banding feeling. So extensor action is all that is needed!
