Der weltweite No.1-Verbreiter der "Ellenbogen Raus" Anweisung Lee McCormack (10 international erfolgreiche Bücher etc.) sagt heute:
"Elbows out” was wrong, and I apologize. That position is weak, encourages you to pull and push in the wrong directions, and, it turns out, is very bad for your shoulders. I really am sorry.
Now that I know more, I suggest your elbows spend most of their time behind your grips. As you might expect, your handlebar width determines your elbow position. Elbows relaxed by the sides — not sticking way out! — and they’re behind the grips. This is strong, effective and safe. When you pull hard, your elbows will draw inward toward your torso. When you push hard, they flare outward. This is normal. Let it happen. But your median, ready elbow position should be directly behind your hands.
You might be thinking, “This is wrong. I see lots of great riders with their elbows out.” You are correct! There are moments when their elbows are out, but these are integrated moments. Top riders like Brian Lopes and Aaron Gwin are not trying to maintain a static elbows-out position — but they’ll flare their elbows in some moments. One example: Tucking low. Another example: Preparing for a big push into a turn or off a ledge.
Also, the wider your handlebar is, the wider your elbows will be."

"So learn what to do with your elbows. Sorry, I was wrong about them being out all the time."
