> > When I load, I use too much of my upper body instead of just my hands and arms. So as a result, I turn my back inward too much and dont really load my hands back. Is there anything that I can concentrate on doing that will help me load more with my hands and wrists instead of my body? Thanks!

Keep the upper torso still, think of it as the platform for the shoulders/hands to load against. If it acts more like a platform then it's very easy to load the shoulders/hands. If it's moving with the load then there really isn't anything to load against, it just becomes movement.
