Just did these for the first time today... Much harder than I thought. I grabbed the 60 pound barbell and did one, and it was to heavy. Had to back down to the 50 pound barbell and even at that could barely finish the 10th rep (not saying that's a bad thing). I tried to remember the nice video Natalie linked and use the force of the legs to propell the bar, but I seemed to lose steam about the time the bar reaches the level of my ears, and so the arms had to do the rest of the work. Perhaps this is how it is suppose to be? 50 pounds seems a bit on the light side since I was shoulder pressing about 25 pound dumbells. hmmm.
