Hug a tree

Bringing your hands in front of the body necessitates rounding the arms:

1. Palms facing towards the body (vertical/diagonal wrist)
   - can be closer
   - find your 70% point
   
2. Palms away (vertical/diagonal wrist)
   - require further extension
   - find your 70% point

Feel how the degree of extension and the palm position affects the elbow joint.

If you do not maintain 70% reach, your joint will buckle and that will cause you to tense-up or collapse.
We want the joint to stay open and springy.
