OOoo.. I would like to know this too! I have run into a similar contradiction!

I have been assuming that "tucked in" refers to the pelvis but NOT the glutial muscles. I give quite a rude pelvic thrust forward - then relax just a little - and use that as my "tucked in" posture and leave my butt muscles loose.
I want to know if I am doing this correctly!

Thank you for posting this topic!
