"Clear" Your Right Side In Your Takeaway Move 
 
An often used instruction to start the takeaway is to initiate the movement with your left arm and left side. Little thought is given to your right side. Your right side has to move backwards, out of the way, for your left side to arc comfortably down and under your chin. And, guess what? 
 
Correctly pulling your right shoulder area back to your right heel will comfortably draw your left shoulder under your chin without any difficult pushing activity. 
 
But, how do you pull your right side backwards as indicated above? First, a practice exercise. 
1. Stand up right. (Do this in front of a mirror if you can.) 
2. Put your hands on your shoulders to prevent arm movement. 
3. Firm your whole body. 
4. Pull your right shoulder straight back to be above your right heel. 
5. You must feel the weight of your body about half way between your right hip joint and your tailbone. 
6. The front of both shoulders should be above your right foot.

Did you notice what muscle carried out this movement?  
 
No! OK, repeat the movement following the above instructions. As soon as you begin the movement try to identify what muscle is pulling your shoulder and armpit area backwards. 
 
Still can’t quite figure out which muscle it is?  
 
It is the part of your large back muscle where it passes over your right kidney area. At least you will feel more tension at this spot of your back muscle.
 
Your back muscle is very powerful --- when it is stretched out and then tightened aggressively. The effort needed by this muscle to draw your right shoulder backwards is not very much. In my lessons, I use an arbitrary number like one twentieth of its power. 
 
This is the only conscious movement you need to do the “one piece takeaway”.
