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!
It would be helpful for me to tie MacDonald's exercises to extensor action. MacDonalds seem so relaxed and free flowing. Putting together the power package with EA seems to add some tensions. So should you add tricep extension to MacDonald's? I know for me doing EA often seems to lead to some interference with folding and unfolding of the right arm. If you are doing LFT the muscles fire to do the pickup and they need to relax is swingers to allow for "throw out" Of course hitters don't have to worry about that cause they are firing them. Lynn can you elaborate this

I don't understand your sentence, David. Please rephrase, and I'll do my best. Thanks!
Speaking of the right elbow and EA, at what point does the right forearm and the shaft form the 90 degree angle?
That EA can be tricky if you get the elbow facing the side at the top rather than the ground, thus having more that 90 degrees(and less support), or get the right wrist cocking and creating less than 90 degrees.
Not sure the mere use of EA will get the correct alignment without some strong monitoring of how that elbow is working.
