Try what you saw. It's easy and don't be afraid of being too rough with them. I broke a main stem when trying my first time. It was so severe that the limb just hung upside down. I just propped it up with a stake and now its massive. Squeeze a branch and feel it. Now rotate 1/4 turn and try again. You'll feel one is a lil softer than the other. Squeeze the soft side and slowly rotate while bending. You may get a small crack on the branch or see some moisture coming out of it. That's it! Now give her a few days to recover and then you'll see lots of new growth.
