Are you suggesting that one should have their arms straight. That flys in the face of everything that I have ever heard. It is my understanding that you want at least a slight bend in your elbow so that your arms absorb shock and do not send that shock into your shoulders, wrists, elbows, etc. It does take core strength to support your torso so that you do not apply so much pressure to you hands/arms. Bullhorn bars can be adjusted so that the stoker is very comfortable.
Has something changed that I am not aware of?
