Push vertically at 9:30 to stop a flippy release

The instructor explains flippy releases and poor exits as a big deceleration-acceleration where the arms move quickly but the body slows down. Pushing vertically into the ground at the 9:30 position makes the rib cage slingshot faster, which keeps the arms attached to the rib cage and reduces that disconnection - and is why the finish feels like the arms are lower but the hips are higher.
