Hi Mark,

I came across this article on the internet-

www.elitefts.com/documents/causal_friday.htm

In it Jim Wendler recommends the following for coming out of the hole-
'begin your ascent by thinking of two things: leading with your head and chest and driving your elbows forward. It should be like a violent explosion, but not so much that you fall out of the groove.'

This seems to be different from your book where you mention the hips driving the lifter out of the hole.

Do you agree with Wendler? I would like to hear your take on this.

It is possible Jim and I disagree on this point. I stand by my hip-drive analysis.
