I saw mention of these while browsing the forum and I tried them today. I couldn't even get the pedal around! Almost dead stop at the bottom of the push, sometimes I could get it a quarter of the way back up. I have normal bike pedals on my bike. After a while I was convinced that I needed to be strapped or clipped in to do this drill. It sure would have been easier, but I have a feeling that I just need to keep doing it and it will come. Is this right?
Does this mean I'm a masher?

You have to be somehow attached to the pedals to do these -- you're trying to teach your legs to do the pulling-up parts of the pedal stroke, which is impossible to do on platforms.

You really had a HARD workout trying to do that unclipped! Impressive! It'll be so much easier the right way!
