This is a dangerous game.... and I know from experience that this can lead
to confusion among less experienced animators, if you are working on a
project with a team of animators I would suggest forcing either the IK or FK
route not both ( unless your team is experienced enough to work with both
unassisted.)
... just my humble opinion but I learnt this lesson the hard way.

Hi All,

Okay, That's enough, No Marking sets should be deleted.
Just select Both "Bicep"s and Goto Select->Selection->kinematic_Chain
A PPG popups, crank up "Blend FK/IK" Value to 100

You'll find yourself moving your Hand "Effector"s again
and still be able to save keys to "Marking set" while animating.

REMEMBER to set "Blend FK/IK" Value Back to 0 when putting your
Animation Clip to mixer and your character would be driven using FK.
You Know the rest.
