But when you "rotate your torso" your elbows do come towards your knees. If you like to think of it as "keep the elbows back and reach with your shoulder," that works just as well! @Matthew

I did not mean to imply that you should reach with your elbow. But when you “rotate your torso” your elbows do come towards your knees.

If you like to think of it as “keep the elbows back and reach with your shoulder,” that works just as well!
