3) Scapula (keep them retracted and "down" throughout the entire movement)
4) Forearms/elbows
5) Hands

Feet can be anywhere from 6-18 inches from the wall. The closer you get to the wall, the harder it usually gets to keep all the contact points.

I just answered my own wife's question in another man's log. Is that wrong?
