I cannot do this and their is allot of weight on my hands and my arms are locked. How would I be able to solve this problem?
Hard to say without seeing your setup. For starters, is your saddle height correct (slight bend in knee at bottom of pedal stroke)? Assuming it is, are your handlebars higher, equal or lower than your saddle? If lower, how much lower?
