This opposing force activates muscles in the body to try to prevent the thrust and torque from moving down for a fraction of a second.
I tried that before its actually an interesting concept...have you considered using another part of your body as an opposing force against the right hand/arm??[/quote]

When I was working with Mike Austin he tried to explain how he was doing this move. I on the other hand figured out if you apply opposing pressure at the fulcrum it would produce the results Mike was talking about. It was easy to do and you could repeat it. I am sure there are other ways to make this move. If you have any ideas please share them in the lab.
