@Skisailor I've said all along that it is a matter of degree and even referenced discussion of what muscular "tension" means. You are replying as if I'm clenching the muscles tight the entire time. No, I'm just using them. Being aware of them. Keeping them in play. The "actively tensed up" comment was yours, not mine.
You however have made the statement that "But I would never use the TA muscle for anything other than a recovery move if I get inadvertently in the backseat." You wouldn't want to use them? Why not? They are part of our musculature. Of course we use them.
You also said "I want them to be generally loose and flexible and relaxed and "ready"" This is definitely a point that I disagree with because I don't think "loose" is a "ready" state.
There is a range from "loose" to "actively tensed up." I don't think either extreme is appropriate. I want them in use, available. If you google "muscular tension" you'll find that it does not mean "tensed up." I've been saying this in all the threads where this comes up, but you keep replying as if I'm suggesting the top of the range and except in exceptions you're at the bottom.
What about the middle?
