None at all is unrealistic.

Our goal is to use the tank and our legs gripping the tank to anchor our lower body so that the pressure on the arms/hands is reduced as much as possible. |
Heh, ironically that is what I do already so w00t. I had an argument with Ken Hill about this a few months ago where I advocated exactly that -- I've got to say it was a really poor experience (see my thread over in riding skills where I talk some about that)
