Then, as I watched a video of that set that I just finished, I realized I was still lifting my damn head up as I rose up. I thought about what I'd watched in the DVD last night and I remembered you putting your hand on one of the trainees' low back and pushing down hard while he came up out of the hole. On the next set, I really focused on looking DOWN as if I was holding a tennis ball under my neck and pushing an invisible hand up with my low back and I got it. Holy shit, 215 felt so much easier that way! I can't wait for my next workout. Thanks! I can't believe I've been doing it wrong for so long without realizing it...
