Technically, but I think I was responding to someone who wanted to
make things harder.

I do a modification. I don't like the strain either, so I hold the SG
about 1/4 from the head. however once I have the lever flipped, I then

lever back down.

I wanted a motion that would work the tricep more than the butter churn.
