A System of the Absurd
Charge for wellness checkup blood tests @ St. Lukes Hospital: $1142.20. Amount written off by hospital as negotiated by Anthem BC/BS: $967.20. The insurance company pays NOTHING for this service. Amount patient required to pay: $175 Does any of this make sense? Does $1142.20 represent the true cost of doing the testing for the hospital? What if I had requested to pay cash for the whole thing? Same charge? BTW, my mom's hospital bill (Des Peres Hospital) for her same-day surgery (rotator cuff repair)--ready--$33,000. Not sure what her insurance is going to cover yet, but she was at the hospital from 8 am to 5 pm, and in actual surgery less than 2 hours. Never admitted to a room, just in and out burger style. The surgeon had 8 similar surgeries on the schedule that day. Bonus!

I find "jump" works well with beginners who are pulling early with their arms as it helps build a better conceptualization that the hips/legs should be driving the movement rather than the arms. I would be surprised if the cue had any meaning for an intermediate lifter, and in fact works against what we are trying to achieve, which is driving through the ground harder and for longer in the second pull.
I think the answer starts with "what are we trying to fix" which in all cases will determine whether a cue is effective. I guess in much simpler terms, does the cue work for that particular athlete.
Just my 2 cents:-)
