Recently, I've felt like the body is like an ice cream sandwich. Lol! The hydraulic bit is sandwiched between the solid bits and if you want to increased stability and power that the hydraulic bits provide then you have to maintain the proper relationship between the sandwich and the filling. The C shape of the spine and the C shape of the legs have to have a certain relationship or the hydraulic quality is not maintained in the whole body. The arc of the spine most remain behind the arc of the legs.

This is not directly related to the training methods in UCB but I've noticed that whole doing loosening arm swings I can feel a hydraulic pulse. As the arms and hands come down the pulse goes down to the feet and bounces up through the body. My concern is that I can feel the pulse in my face, between my eyebrows. No pain or discomfort. What is missing that allows the pulse to go beyond my shoulders?
