Thanks, Bytsi! This is very reassuring to hear-- especially knowing that you clipped your chin and didn't actually wind up on the floor from it.

I think I've been stressing too much about keeping my elbows up, too. Guess I'll find out in the morning if I'm going to join you in the push/press admiration society.
