On the top of these 2 sticks were metal balls to stop the pilot's hands from slipping off. So, when the pilot was having to escape from enemies he would push the sticks forward as far as can go,and they would stop at the front wall of the plane. Thus the saying " Balls to the wall". I know thats not what you wanted to hear but I couldn't resist. Just be regular in your routines, work with proper form and you will see results.

jonshez Posts: 273 Joined: 2007/01/14	2008/12/01, 04:34 PM Sorry to be a pedant, you're almost right! The balls were on the throttle, and a fully open throttle was pushed as far forward as it would go. That would be as far as the firewall. So, "balls to the wall" means absolutely flat out effort. (Now where does "flat out" come from?!). I went BTTW when I started, could only manage it for 6 weeks or so and my plan just fell over. Listen to Amy.
