Extending your bridge keeps the ATC away from your hands and makes tending easier.
Assuming your brake and auto block are on your right. An interesting difference with a bridge is that if you rotate from side to side, it changed the tension on your ATC teeth and the auto block.
Once your auto block is engaged, rotating left releases the ATC and you descend. Rotating right puts tension on the auto block and locks you down. Using Yale Bandit and a 3 wrap auto block (I think it is 7mm accessory cord?) it was self tending.
DON'T TRUST IT. But it works.
