You can't move your arm until the energy has reached to your shoulder from your back leg.

But there is still some delay which violate the 5 bows theory. You can't move your arm until the energy has reached to your shoulder from your back leg.
Potential energy is stored in a bow and when we release it its potential energy gets converted to kinetic energy.
When the bow is pulled back the energy is stored in form of potential energy.

In theory, when you back foot press down on the ground, your hand has not moved yet.
In this clip, when he moves his right leg, his left hand has not started to move yet. There is a delay in between.
