Move weights up gradually when you're able to maintain these things.
not to mind**** you with cueues, but one thing that helped me get my split long enough to cause problems with my back knee was consciously thinking about stepping my front foot out as far as possible both vertically and horizontally.
I'll totally admit I've been approaching this whole WL thing all wrong like a dozen times already. It's only now after reading a bunch of the Max Aita books* I suddenly figured it out for myself what I need to do. Which is what everybody else had already been telling me all this time. Lol
You're probably right that it was also some of that. Although I could definitely feel a clear distinct difference using that cue compared to any other.
I know my jerks, I've watched myself drive hundreds of reps forward. It's not a footwork issue, the problem is the drive. Feeling damn relieved I (seemingly) found something that fixes it.
That being said, I've felt this way before about other cues. Lol, guess we'll find out soon!

Definitely? That's reassuring!
