Hands are primary and the body supports.
There is a reason that the hands are often referred to as the "second engine".

Do you know why it's called the second engine?
Thanks for the reply Five...to a post I made more in jest and fun, with a copy and paste of one of your questioning posts, and inserting your "new" term into it. Never intended (or expected) for you to use up so much time, energy, and bandwidth replying to it, but think you did a pretty good job nonetheless in explaining your position wrt the "torso engine" stuff. Thank you.Earlier in this thread....
Do you know the way to San Jose?Do you know why it's called the second engine?Do you know why the hips/torso is considered the first/primary engine?
Yeah, not sure where Dixon Sr. got his info, but it's really much easier than that. Simply remove the arms, legs, neck, and head...what's left is the torso.I include the hips as part of the torso.
For the most part I go with Jim Dixon Sr's usage ...
Jim Dixon Sr: Take off the shoulders and the arms, the neck, head, and the legs from the crotch down and call what's left the Torso. The Torso includes the back, sides, stomach, buttocks, chest, and upper thighs.
Yes, the trap that many fall into is when they simply look at pics, and not scrutinize the definition of "torso" completely.The trap is thinking of the hips as part of the upper or lower body. The hips are where the leg and pelvis meet.
