I agree, Joel, that the important thing is to have a relaxed forearm on the thigh.
From the box, my main bruising comes on my left forearm muscle. My arm rests well away from my body and away from my knee guard (1/3-1/2 way toward the groin.)
I never tighten anything, so I always have "give".
Bend... don't break.
