>>> Hi Jack,

I read with interest your response in regard to arm muscles not involved in bringing the hands through in a CHP. You stated:
"with rotational transfer mechanics, the muscles in the arms are not used to bring the hands around."

My question is are arm muscles used to bring the hands/torso "back" into the load position? If so, which arm muscles and if not...which muscles do? <<<

Hi Dbc

First of all, let me say that I have not studied Kinesiology in depth. -- I would say the pulling back of the top-forearm and hand would come mainly from muscles in the back and shoulder (scap area).
