At least that's certainly been my eye-opening experience.
Jane, I could have written the exact same words.. I'm 10 weeks into learning O-lifts and am not even close to doing even 1 good one!

Just saw the vid.. oh my.. it's hilarious and scary at the same time.. the poor woman could have gotten seriously hurt..
