Hi Pete,

I have seen "torque drill" mentioned before, I see it is done with paddles. Could you briefly explain this drill? I was unable to search this one down.

Thank You,
steve

I'm not certain we are doing it the way Fortress intended with her workouts. You could check in the HIT forum for a more exact explanation. Roger explained to us that we should be extending the paddle forward and twisting somewhat inward to feel the muscle connection from your arms through your abs as you pull. I tend to end up over-rotating a little when I do this but I'm not entirely sure I'm doing it right.
