Elbows Down!

Elbows down and in

There I am in the video telling you to keep your elbows down when you wall ball.

Here I am with text, telling you to keep your elbows down when you wall ball.

Why? Because winging your elbows out makes the action triceps dominant. Your poor arms. Alone. Isolated. Doing all the work. Have a care and let your core assist. Keep your elbows down when you wall ball.

Bonus: keep your elbows down when you collar choke someone in BJJ, for exactly the same reason. Winging your elbows out makes it an arm dominant movement instead of a whole body motion.
