I'd love some clarification on the 'bend your right elbow' in reference to this drill.

If my forearm and elbow are on the table and I bend my elbow, the hand lifts 'off plane'. Do you really mean 'pull the elbow back' - which keeps both hand and elbow on plane (on the table)? This would be a similar feel as the 'pull the mower cord' image.

Also, if I have my forearm on the table, how can I hold anything in it and have it also be 'on plane'? Unless it is held between my fingers, or held such that it is not on plane, but perpendicular to the plane? The only way this is possible is via a 90 degree rotation of the hand/forearm.

Thanks - EdZ
