press your arms up, part of staying tall.

my advice is to not pull with your top arm...I grew up in the vault world doing that and know it is a total b**** try and correct. so dont do it

push your plant up as high as you can and RESIST with the bottom arm. DO NOT push with the bottom arm, just resist against it collapsing.
