She has one advantage over most of us. Being female, she has long legs and a relatively short torso, which makes it easier for her to brace her elbow against her hip bone. Males typically have shorter legs in relation to overall height, with a longer torso. This makes it somewhat harder for us to brace our elbow on our hip bone. I, for one, can't get my elbow lower than my ribcage.I will try the elbow in the hip method and see what happens.
