STUCK on the first level! :(

[smilingdinosaur]

Hello, I really am a big fan of tomb raider and love underworld thus far with its beautiful graphics.
I am on the first level, it is named The Mediterranean Sea,
in specific on the part of The Norse Connection.

So there is a room with a gate that is grap-hookable, with two pressure plates. on the right there is a hole in the top of the wall with a pole to climb in order to reach..

Inside this room the hole leads to there is a pressure plate and two blocks. I have made the pressure plate stay with the blocks, however the guides say to throw them through the door while standing on the plate, HOWEVER IT IS IMPOSSIBLE!

While holding the plate at the very edge, capslock(throw) does not let the blocks reach outside the door before it slams shut no matter what angle I am positioning. I spent a good hour or two trying.

ANY SUGGESTIONS PLEASE??? I can't even get past the first level! and its driving me sad, and crazy!
