Some corrections. What experience taught me:
Agreed. But it is the combination of upper and lower body movements which make a player good.
Most of the time when you do that you lose control. Relaxing your knee gives you a much better push.
I think you are right but I'm not totally sure if I got it correctly.
Contracted ankles are great when you are close to the ground and extended ankles are great for suplexes or when you have to lean back.
If you use your chest that would be useless. By using your chest you end up in a 90А angle to your push direction. Contracting the glute closer to your opponent and extending the other one gives your push a lot more power.
Glutes are very very important when it comes to balancing your position.
Checking your replays showed me you have a wrong understanding of the term Shovel. A shovel is a 2-turn move. It requires to lower both shoulders on the first turn and raise both on the 2nd turn to grab as low as possible.
Your illustrated counters are rather useless against shovels.
You can counter shovels by putting all your weight as far back as possible so your opponent is too weak to lift you.
Another way is hitting his shoulder really hard so it breaks. Works quite often if you have a decent move.
Actually you can do every manipulation possible with this move and it is, in my opinion on of the best moves against lift kicks and almost every offensive move.
He can just ungrab and balance with 2 legs and an arm too.
Everything I didn't comment was true.
Great job.

Beware! If you extend your ankles too early (e.g when you're not pushing foward) your enemy can use your own force against you by lifting you!

Disadvantages: You can only do very basic manpulations with this sort of starter as most of the time it hits not the lower part of the arm - but rather the upper body or the top part of the arm. Also it has almost no defense against lift kicks/other offensive moves...

I know, I made too many mistakes in that post because I was writing the above too quickly without thinking about what I was saying, check out my thread in tutorials where I'm gonna try to write a better tutorial there with easier readibility/better structure and more tips.
