The relationship between the hands and chest through impact, as a RESULT of motion, and the structure of the power package staying in place.
This has little to do with 'welding' the left arm and chest (PP#4), as Yoda describes, that is a result of motion, and trying to keep that connection is a best a huge power loss.
The 'point' is that the strap keeps the power package structure in place by defining the geometric relationship, the triangle formed by the arms and shoulder line AT BOTH ARMS STRAIGHT.
Defining the 'aiming point' in a fairly direct way, given an understanding of TGM impact alignments (left arm to shoulder line angle).
Always remember - send FORCE to both arms straight per 1-L-15
Restore that 'triangle' the strap gives you at both arms straight.

Edz, notice I did not make a comment about the strap-it does not keep the arm against the chest.I think I remember trying it and if recall correctly it will allow extensor action.Now that sounds good.
